Today, we’re getting a first look at an upcoming Creator Expert set, which is giving FC Barcelona the spotlight with a 5,500-piece version of the club’s iconic Camp Nou football stadium. The two football clubs they've done so far have large worldwide fan-bases (probably very popular in Denmark), so on paper there is a market for them. It is here where for over six decades (and only interrupted by the pandemic) more than 90,000 fans have shuffled into the ground every week to worship La Blaugrana (blue and reds). I was tempted to see if I could find a different phrase to build into the set using the letters provided.

The repetitive segments are there to create the nucleus of the set, but there’s great fun in what you build around it, whilst the end result comes together so remarkably well that even if you were a little bored putting it together, you’ll more than forgive what’s in front of you. About the proportions, for the Manchester United and ancient Roman stadiums the designers said they deliberately exaggerated the vertical scale relative to the horizonal scale.The sticker sheet is bright and colorful and contains prints that probably would never have found a use in other released sets. But now that all of this time has passed, it looks like we are in fact getting yet another massive recreation of an iconic football club headquarters. That would work by not just allowing for a range of smaller - and therefore more affordable - sets, but would also make it easier to produce stadia across a range of sports.

The glass wall sections here are connected using hinged plates, with the right side clipping onto the fourth wedge. Entering into the Creator Expert theme, it’s safe to say that there will be plenty of authentic inclusions from the real world location.Support the work that Brick Fanatics does by purchasing your LEGO through one of our affiliate links. Regarding LEGO, theyve already branched out into Funkos, and now theyre chasing sneakerheads, i can sorta see someone w/ a wall of shoes having one LEGO one, not that out there. There’s nothing too exciting about this, but I was surprised the designers didn’t have this section be the final part of the build. We do at least have some idea of how much we’ll need to pay to bring home the first follow-up to 2020’s 10272 Old Trafford, though. We have mentioned comparisons not only to 10272 Old Trafford – Manchester United but also to 10276 Colosseum and that is with purpose, both positive and negative.

These factoids help keep things interesting and are a welcome addition to a 600-page marathon build. If you’re not a sports fan (and I, admittedly, am not) this set may not have nearly as much shelf-appeal, unless you’re looking for a giant parts pack. Regardless of if this becomes a staple lineup in the Creator Expert theme going forward or just a type of kit that launches every once and a while, it’s nice to see FC Barcelona getting some love.Piercing the grid-like structure of the surrounding streets of Barcelona with its huge oval shape coloured inside with vibrant blue and red seating, Camp Nou towers as a cathedral of sport over – and for – not only its city, but the entire region of Catalonia. Compared to the actual building the dimensions feel a little off, but that might just be the photos I’ve seen. Antoine Griezmann abruptly left last night before the transfer window closed to take the burden off their finances. This is a display piece, so there’s no playability to discuss, and the build is pretty tedious with a handful of interesting techniques that quickly become rote. There’s some clever tilework on the roof that does a good gapless job of approximating the curve of the glass wall below it.
