A reportedly premature retailer listing has put LEGO Art 31222 in the spotlight, claiming the next major brick-built Van Gogh release will recreate Almond Blossom. If the details hold up, the 2,903-piece set will arrive at the start of 2027 and become LEGO’s third official model based on the artist’s work.
What happened with the LEGO Almond Blossom leak
French retailer FNAC briefly listed an unannounced LEGO product identified as 31222 Vincent van Gogh – Almond Blossom. The page was removed after it was spotted, but the listing reportedly included a January 1, 2027 launch date, a 2,903-piece count, and a €199.99 price. A US price around $199.99 is expected, though that figure has not been officially confirmed by LEGO. The model is said to belong to the LEGO Art range and carry an 18+ age recommendation. FNAC has surfaced unannounced LEGO information before, including several Harry Potter products ahead of their summer 2026 release, but buyers should still treat every detail as unconfirmed until LEGO makes an announcement.
Why the reported set matters
Almond Blossom would extend LEGO’s growing relationship with Van Gogh’s catalog. The company first adapted The Starry Night through LEGO Ideas in 2022, followed by the LEGO Art Sunflowers model in 2025. Almond Blossom is a fitting candidate for a display-focused build: Van Gogh painted it in February 1890 to mark the birth of his nephew, using flowering branches as a symbol of new life. Its pale blossoms, blue backdrop, strong outlines, and close framing reflect the influence of Japanese printmaking. The subject also offers a markedly calmer visual identity than the swirling energy associated with The Starry Night.
What to watch next
The biggest unanswered question is how LEGO will translate the painting’s delicate branches and blossoms into a large-format display piece. The rumored 2,903-piece total would make Almond Blossom larger than both The Starry Night and Sunflowers, suggesting a substantial wall or shelf model. A minifigure is also unclear. The Starry Night included a Van Gogh figure, while Sunflowers did not, and the latter shared the same reported $199.99 price level as Almond Blossom. Another LEGO Art product, numbered 31224, is also rumored for May 1, 2027, with 879 pieces and a $129.99 price, though there is no evidence it is connected to Van Gogh.
Key takeaways for LEGO collectors
- Treat the January 1, 2027 release date as a retailer-leak claim, not a confirmed LEGO schedule.
- The reported 2,903-piece count points to one of the larger early-2027 LEGO releases.
- A price near $199.99 is plausible, but only the €199.99 retailer listing has been reported.
- Collectors of LEGO’s Van Gogh releases may want to watch for official confirmation on display size and minifigure inclusion.

Expert View
LEGO Art’s strongest releases work when they offer more than a flat mosaic, and Almond Blossom has the color contrast and branch-heavy composition to support a distinctive build. The leak suggests LEGO is turning Van Gogh into a reliable premium display line, but the final design—not the piece count—will determine whether this becomes a must-have companion to The Starry Night and Sunflowers.
