There are also several freebies that you can get between May 1st and 5th. The #5009394 LEGO Star Wars Jango Fett’s Starship Key Chain is free with the purchase of the #75409 LEGO Star Wars Jango Fett’s Firespray-Class Starship.

Following on from the success of last year, Lucasfilm-approved artist Joe Hogan has created a limited-edition poster to celebrate May the Fourth. Featuring the latest Ultimate Collector Series set, Jango Fett’s Starship, the poster plays on the father-son relationship between famed Bounty Hunter Jango Fett and his clone/son Boba Fett, positioning the duo as the stars of their very own retro sitcom ‘Flying with the Fetts’. The sitcom parody is playfully brought to life through the poster design, which emulates an old VHS box, bringing a nostalgic feel that makes it look like a real TV show from around the time the first Star Wars movies were released. You will be able to get the poster starting on May 1st for 1,800 LEGO Insiders Points at the LEGO Insiders Reward Center.

A couple of other Star Wars-themed specials that you will be able to get at the LEGO Insiders Reward Center are the LEGO Star Wars Jango Fett’s Firespray-Class Starship Lenticular Coin for 2,500 points and the #5009393 LEGO Star Wars Tin Pencil Case for 1,000 points.

In addition, LEGO Ideas is hosting an opportunity for fans to showcase their creativity and add their ideas to the LEGO Star Wars galaxy to further warm up fans ahead of May the 4th. LEGO Ideas is challenging fans to showcase how they imagine the galaxy’s most dangerous bounty hunters spend their downtime. All information on how to join the build activity is available on LEGO.build/IdeasSW.

Add Mosaics and Murals to Your LEGO City!

by Thita (admin) on April 14, 2025

in Useful Resources

Mosaics, murals, large advertisements, and graffiti are great ways to add custom touches and fun colors to your LEGO city displays. Just like in real life, they can decorate bare walls, back alleys, paved roads, and other exterior and interior spaces.

LEGO DOTS, LEGO Mosaics, and LEGO Art sets introduced a large variety of small pieces and lots of new colors that can be used for mosaics and murals. In fact, LEGO themselves have been including mosaics in several recently released sets, like the artwork in the #10297 LEGO Boutique Hotel and the #41711 LEGO Friends Emma’s Art School.

Occasionally, LEGO also includes special printed tiles with artwork, like the small printed piece in the #21333 LEGO Ideas Vincent van Gogh – The Starry Night set, or the large 8×16 printed wall mural in the #41748 LEGO Friends Heartlake City Community Center.

LEGO DOTS sets are an excellent resource for small LEGO elements, printed pieces, and beautiful colors. In addition, the instruction books for these sets often feature alternate building instructions and patterns for mosaics that are just the right size for minifig-scale builds. Although LEGO DOTS are no longer available directly from LEGO, you can still find them on Amazon.

Another resource I like to use for small mosaic patterns is under the #mosaicsonmonday hastag on Instagram. This is where talented LEGO fans regularly share their mosaic builds. You will find tons of interesting designs and patterns that should give you ideas for your own minifig-size mosaics.

There are also several LEGO customizers who print custom patterns, murals, and graffiti-style art on LEGO elements that can be added to your LEGO city. EclipseBricks.com is one of my favorites with a great selection and wonderful LEGO-compatible style.

I also found some gems on eBay and Etsy, like these beautiful murals by BrickBuildersPro. (They also have their own website and Instagram page where you can see more of their custom work.)

One of my other favorite customizers for murals and graffiti is PriBri.com. They sell custom-printed elements on their website and also via Etsy. In addition to murals, they carry a wide variety of other custom-printed elements, so it’s worth browsing their shop.

If you don’t mind stepping out of the LEGO brand universe, FunWhole.com, a Chinese company that makes LEGO-compatible sets, specializes in adding elaborate light kits and a large number of printed parts in all of their sets (including murals and graffiti). Even if you don’t want to mix your LEGO pieces with an off-brand like this, you might still consider using their printed elements. This bus stop set is especially loaded with graffiti pieces. You can find their products on their website and their Amazon shop.

Whether brick-built or printed, adding such artwork to your city displays adds a special touch. I hope you find this list of resources useful for your own builds! Comments? Questions? Feel free to share them below!
