I can only assume this is presumably because the set was originally only designed to be an in-store experience and an online tool didn’t yet exist.

The most unusual omission, however, is the lack of a URL or indication on how to create your mosaic in the first place. This makes sense given it’s an infinitely customisable LEGO set, and other than simply placing the right piece in the right row/column, you don’t exactly need step-by-step directions like your average LEGO model.

Somewhat surprisingly (and as I mentioned in my review here) there are no leaflets, adverts or instructions of any sort included with 40179 Personalised Mosaic Portrait. Until earlier this year, Mosaic Maker booths were the only way you could create your own LEGO portrait (without resorting to custom tools or clever Photoshop manipulation, if you’re determined enough), so when I was recently given the chance to review 40179 Personalised Mosaic Portrait, I was eager to discover how it would work outside of the LEGO brand store environment. I was lucky enough to be present when it was unveiled in London for the first time, but as yet haven’t coughed up £100 for the in-store opportunity. Making its debut in Leicester Square‘s LEGO Store back in 2016, the Mosaic Maker offers willing participants the chance to recreate their portrait in a 2D brick-built medium, whilst also considerably slimming their wallet at the same time.
