"Scoring a BrickScore of 63.8, Elvis Presley 'The King' is a set that rewards its target audience handsomely — Elvis devotees and LEGO Art collectors will love the portraits, the signature plates, and the multi-set combination gimmick — but anyone outside that fan circle will find the repetitive tile-placement build and steep price hard to justify."
The LEGO Art Elvis Presley 'The King' (31204) earns strong enthusiasm from Elvis fans who find the mosaic build relaxing and the finished portraits wall-worthy, but more analytical reviewers flag it as a "paint by numbers" experience with limited creative challenge. The set's headline feature — three distinct Elvis portrait variants that can each stand alone or be combined (with two additional copies) into a large "Viva Las Vegas" fourth pose — is widely appreciated, though the repetitive tile-placement process and difficult disassembly divide opinion. Value perception splits sharply between fans who feel the price is justified and critics who find €120/$120 hard to defend purely on build merit.
Where they split: Owner/buyer reviews are overwhelmingly positive and fan-driven, focusing on the joy of building while listening to Elvis. The two expert/analytical reviewers both appreciate the display result but diverge on recommendation: the Brickset reviewer lands on "buy" for fans and parts collectors, while Hoth Bricks recommends skipping at full price, citing poor pixel-art quality, difficult disassembly, and better alternatives at the same budget. Flesh-tone colour confusion also split buyers — some found it genuinely tricky, others had no issue at all.
"It felt like "paint by numbers" LEGO. It might be suitable if you're starting the hobby, but obviously there's no building challenge found here."

"The perception of the proposed experience is very subjective: some will see it as a guided puzzle that relaxes them a little while others will quickly be annoyed to have to settle for fixing Tiles colored circles for a few hours to finally obtain a painting of 40 x 40 cm sold for €120."
