New LEGO Art 21226 Create Together also includes a Classic Space Astronaut portrait

October 4, 2021 | 5

Thanks to Amazon, we have our first look at a new LEGO Art set – 21226 Art Project Create Together – an open-ended 4138-piece LEGO art set that throws open the doors open for creativity and design.

True to its “Art Project” name, this set features instructions and designs for 36 mosaics, and you’re encouraged to create a 3×3 grid of these smaller designs.

The set is priced at £114.99, $119.99 or €119.99, matching previous Art set pricing, and according to Amazon, has a release date of 1 October, although Brickset reckons it should be available on the 1st of November.

Of if you’re a Classic Space tragic, you are also supplied instructions to create a larger White Classic Space Astronaut minifigure portrait – which I’m guessing will appeal to a lot of old timey Space fans!

This set looks like a heap of fun, and I’ve really enjoyed the LEGO Art theme (I really liked the World Map), and this seems like it will appeal to a wide swathe of people – whether you’re looking for more tiles, and want to use this as an Art expansion pack, OR if you’re like me and are simply drawn to the Classic Spaceman Portrait.

This set would be great if you can get it on a deep discount, hopefully following the trend of other LEGO Art sets!

I’ll be picking this one up for Christmas for sure, and I can absolutely see people creating a whole series of Classic Space minifigures, in all colours of the rainbow – which would be a sight to behold!

What do you think of the LEGO Art 21226 Create Together set? Will the Classic Space portrait finally convince you to give LEGO Art a go?
