Lego unleashes DIY stadium trophy for Barca fans
Lego has outdone itself with the Camp Nou – FC Barcelona set. It’s the latest in the construction-brick library of soccer kits.
The large Lego soccer library includes kits for Old Trafford of Manchester United and the Real Madrid stadium. The detail in this latest installment edges out the previous offerings in detail.
The new FC Barcelona kit requires connecting 5,509 plastic bricks. It’s among the most detailed of all Lego kits. The stands recreate the Més que un club (more than a club) motto and the scoreboard displays a stunning 5-0 win.
The set design allows the stands to be split into five sections. That way, if builders desire to customize the finished display for maximum appreciation of details around the stands and around the pitch.
Lego tossed in a package of stickers and flags so builders can work for realism or maybe get creative.
Barça Licensing and Merchandising director Jordi Balsells got involved in this stadium reproduction kit. He said the club is fully satisfied that fans will enjoy building “the home of all Culers” from beginning to completion.
