THE LEGO GROUP AND THE ROLLING STONES BAND TOGETHER FOR ONE VERY SATISFYING SET

To commemorate the band’s 60th anniversary, the new LEGO® Art the Rolling Stones set invites adults to dive into their passion for the iconic music by building the famous tongue logo.



Billund, May 3rd, 2022: Today, the LEGO Group brings a rock ‘n’ roll image to life in brick form. The bright red lips and tongue known worldwide as the logo for the Rolling Stones will thrill adult fans looking to combine their passion for the band’s music and LEGO® bricks.

The logo, first seen on the Stones’ Sticky Fingers album 50 years ago, is a 1,998-piece tribute to their 60 years as one of the most legendary rock bands of all time. It is the first organically shaped set from LEGO Art and fans will be delighted to know that the LEGO designers included a hidden surprise.

While assembling the bold, colourful lips that measure over 22 in. (57 cm) high and 18.5 in. (47 cm) wide, fans can enjoy an accompanying soundtrack with almost an hour of tailor-made content, including an exclusive interview with John Pasche, the graphic designer who created the tongue logo for the Rolling Stones back in 1970.

“Who would have believed, 50 odd years ago… that design would be made into a LEGO piece. Wow!” says John, after seeing the LEGO Art set for the first time.

“Since the tongue logo is one of the most recognized logos, our biggest challenge was to figure out how we could get the LEGO Art design as close to the original as possible. Previous sets have been created with 1x1 round LEGO tiles as a mosaic, but this time, in the spirit of being more Rock ‘n’ Roll, we have used the full spectrum of LEGO bricks to capture the organic curves that John created. Hearing his reaction to our final design makes me so happy!” says Fiorella Groves, Design Manager at the LEGO Group.

The LEGO Art the Rolling Stones set will be available from June 1st from LEGO.com and all LEGO retailers.

As a life-long Lego fanatic, this is the ultimate dream come true!!

This Lego-maniac is excited for this!

Charlie's gone and they are releasing Lego toys. I give up..

Why is that "tacky"?

More here: [iorr.org]

The Stones has been a business for decades now. Like many other pop and rock acts. Charlie's passing doesn't change that. Why should it?

I'm pretty sure the Fisher Price Little People set was commissioned while Charlie was still here. I don't really think his passing has anything to do with it.

I'm just amazed there are still no Stones Funko Pops!!!

What has Charlie to do with this ?

In fact I thought of buying one. Guess I'm tacky as hell

Ditto. It’s just THEIR trademarked logo after all. Money for Charlie’s estate.

As a Lego Kid and a Stones Guy i'm cool with the 60 configuration, the full lip recreation, to be honest, not so much.

But I'll probably purchase it

As I’d imagine so many here did, I grew up with Lego. I remember being obsessed with the pirates series in the late 80’s - early 90’s.

It’s a nice little product.

I love Lego (and have several sets associated with bands I like), and depending on price will probably spring for this one, too.

I love the chair in the pic even more, though.

I will definitely be ordering this along with the Super Deluxe Model shown in the picture too.

Waiting for the Ernie Cefalu Lego version

Into the loo goes the Lego logo... let go

Compared to other recent Lego sets like the Nintendo NES console, Star Wars and Harry Potter stuff, tis is a bit dissapointing to me. A flat tongue that looks like it was cut out by a four year old? Was that really the best they could do? The logo itself is nice, but the black background is ugly as F.

A classic stage (Voodoo Lounge or Bridges to Babylon) with Stones Lego figurines or a 3d logo would have been great. I'm nog buying this.

Agreed. Far more thought was obviously put into this Beatles offering from Lego..

I love the idea of a Rolling Stones Stage Lego set - 1989 Steel Wheels with scale versions of Ruby & Angie!

Yep, that Yellow Sub model is intricate.....over 500 pieces!

Was one of the first things my boys complained about - the lack of mini figures of the band!!

I just wonder if there is a way to replace some bricks on the edge to make it more round. I want to hang it on my office wall.

Groovy...60 Tongue as an option

A 3D-Printer (in a FabLab) could print some rounder bricks ....

My "Lips and Tongue" logo arrived today.
Unfortunately, the QR code for the custom-built soundtrack doesn't work (yet). There is only general Lego advertising.
At first glance, the 220 pages of assembly instructions give the impression that this is rocket science.
But let's see.
