Hi,

I just browsed shop.lego.com and 'mosaic' is added to the 'S@H exclusives'
section! The setnumber appears to be 3443 ...

Text reads:
"Try out the NEW Brick-o-Lizer where you can turn a digital image into a
LEGO Mosaic - a picture made of LEGO Bricks. You can then order your own
personal LEGO Mosaic set including almost 2000 LEGO Bricks and building
instructions. The set also includes frame and hanger so you can hang your
LEGO Mosaic on the wall. Take photos of your family, pets, friends, and
drawings, almost anything, and watch as the Brick-o-Lizer helps you turn
them into LEGO art. Also in the Brick-o-Lizer you will find Tips & Help on
how to make your LEGO Mosaic look even better, and a Gallery with pictures
you can Brick-o-Lize. Go ahead and design your LEGO Mosaic now! To begin
creating your LEGO Mosaic click "Add to Shopping Cart", this will take you
to the Brick-o-lizer application where the fun begins. (Brick-o-Lizer not
available for Macintosh browsers at this time.) "

also the train and castle bulk packs are available OnLine!
