Tiger

"The Art Tiger earns a Recommended verdict with a BrickScore of 58.8 and strong owner ratings of 4.84 out of 5, but the 54% would-recommend rate signals that this set's wall-art format is genuinely niche: buyers who want a calm, displayable build project will be satisfied, while traditional LEGO builders should check their expectations first."

The Art Tiger (31217) earns a Recommended verdict with a BrickScore of 58.8, sitting in an interesting position where owner enthusiasm far outpaces the expert score. Owner ratings across Amazon, Walmart, Target, and LEGO.com average 4.84 out of 5 across 350 reviews, with strong value-for-money scores of 4.68 out of 5. However, only 54% of LEGO.com respondents say they would recommend it, the lowest recommend rate of any set in this batch, suggesting the Art format's niche appeal polarizes buyers more than the headline rating implies. The set is a wall-mountable or shelf-displayable botanical-style tiger portrait with rearrangeable floral elements.

Where they split: The 54% would-recommend rate on LEGO.com is notably low despite high average ratings. This suggests the Art format's niche appeal creates a genuine split: buyers who want a display piece love it, while those expecting a more involved LEGO experience come away disappointed. Critics rate build experience and value-for-money modestly (57 and 57 respectively), while many owners are enthusiastic, reflecting different buyer expectations.
