Review: Periodic Table of The LEGO Colors v3.0

Remember, in March 2021 I was telling you about the second version of "Lego Periodic Table", a derivative product that had had a small effect within the community of LEGO fans, and the WLWYB sign (We Love What You Build) there is now a new updated and corrected version of this original painting which has nothing scientific but which is intended to be a beautiful decorative element for the most assiduous fans. This new version still uses the principle of the Mendeleïev Table which aligns all the chemical elements classified by their atomic number and adapts it to the assortment of colors offered by LEGO.

The format of the object does not change and on the 40x30 cm support we find this time 75 LEGO bricks (compared to 65 on the previous version) glued cleanly and without burrs on their respective locations and accompanied by several information more or less relevant according to your affinities with the different classifications used by fans or marketplaces. I specify it for those who would have a doubt on this subject: the parts used are once again original LEGO elements. I also note a good effort on the overall quality of printing with small, easily readable characters, which was not necessarily the case with the previous version.

The presentation is always a little dense at first sight even if the manufacturer has considerably simplified the nomenclature used, it will be necessary to refer regularly to the legend placed at the bottom right of the product to understand the logic implemented: year of introduction and possibly withdrawal of the color concerned in the LEGO inventory, number of sets using this color, Bricklink reference, LEGO reference and even an abbreviation created from scratch for this table, we always get lost a little.

If you are looking for a precise and reliable documentation tool in this product, go your way, the object is not exhaustive on the subject it deals with and it is above all a decorative painting whose main purpose is to allow you to display your passion for the LEGO universe in a slightly more subtle way than with the usual posters. This new version gives pride of place to colors that are a little more original than the classic shades, it is always the potential starting point for a discussion between fans.
Also note that the first 1000 copies of this new version are numbered. The product does not become ultra-collector, but it is a finishing touch that some will appreciate.

Once again, I remind you that some of the information mentioned on this product will inevitably end up becoming obsolete, the LEGO inventory being constantly in motion, but I think we can count on the brand to release a version 4 when the time comes. will have come.

WLWYB is selling the thing for $49.95 including shipping and the product arrives well packaged in a dedicated carton with internal bubble wrap protection. It is possible to hang it on the wall via the folding hook glued to the back but I think that it will then possibly be necessary to consider placing it in a frame deep enough to accommodate this painting whose thickness reaches 1.5 cm. There must be a suitable framework at IKEA or elsewhere.

If you would like to offer yourself a copy of this "Lego Periodic Table" or to prepare a birthday by making sure that the beneficiary will not already have the gift you wanted to give him, know that WLWYB has provided me with a code that allows you to get 10% off, you just have to enter the code HOTHBRICKS at checkout to benefit from it and pay the whole $44.95 including postage. It's always taken.
