As you upload an image, it doesn’t just need to be your face, it could be a pet or an image of something else. Instead, you need to upload an image to the Mosaic Maker page on. Obviously, the photo booth aspect of the experience isn’t possible at home. The online version works in a similar way. These come in yellow, white, black, light grey and dark grey. You can a large colour printout of your image, which acts as the instructions plus the box, which contains a large base plate and bags of five different coloured 1×1 brick plates. In here you can snap an image of yourself and after selecting which picture you like, the Mosaic Maker machine gets to work creating your set. After buying the set at a till you’ve given a card to use in a special LEGO photo booth.

It’s you’ve visited one of the LEGO stores or LEGOLAND parks offering the LEGO Mosaic Maker, then you may know how that works.

Over on the new product has already got a couple of reviews, which prompted this round-up of how the Mosaic Maker works away from the original in-store experience. As reported last week the LEGO® Mosaic Maker experience is now available online in both the US and UK.
