LEGO Creator Expert Camp Nou FC Barcelona (10284)

Product Information

If you’re a collector, it might be worth a gamble due to the worldwide popularity of the subject matter. The back of the box showcases the dimensions of the set (Height: 8″/20cm, Width: 19″/49cm, Depth: 18″/46cm), some inset shots of the real life stadium and LEGO version, and a “view from the field” alternate angle of the build. If I’m not interested in something it is because I have impeccable taste and my opinions speak for everyone on this planet. You guys are going to love my idea of my house being made into a UCS style set with minifigures of me and my family!

All that is immediately obvious in the set that sits before us, just as is the fact that at first glance there are clear echoes of 10272 Old Trafford – Manchester United throughout. We are therefore very proud to get the opportunity to jointly create this reproduction of the stadium with the LEGO Group that fans will be able to build from bottom to top and which represents the home of all Culers”.You can read our review here and commiserate in the comments below if it has sold out by the time you are reading this. Indeed, if there’s one aspect to forewarn anyone looking to pick up 10284 Camp Nou – FC Barcelona about, it’s to stretch out the build process or share it with someone, because each quarter of the stadium that you build is very similar to the other three, as they are all made up of a number of almost identical segments clipped together. The white cardboard envelope does a good job of protecting the two perfect-bound instruction manuals and the sticker sheet. Camp Nou is a stadium that has borne witness to some of club football’s most revered and decorated teams, and celebrated some of the game’s most gifted stars.

Granted, the wider audience for this LEGO for Adults set may only come into this model with a broad knowledge of the subject matter. 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. Along with the pitch, which uses the same printed tiles as 10272 Old Trafford – Manchester United, . The score board also references the club’s momentous 5-0 win over rivals Real Madrid in 2010 and two of the stands proudly feature the “Mes que un Club” motto that is known by fans around the world. Inside the white box are 22 bags that will build steps 1-14, two loose large printed tiles, and another white envelope.Section two is just a mirror image of section one, with different stickers for letters and scoreboard display. The final bit of the build is adding some decorative touches to the top of the stands and to the grey base. That’s not to say that 10284 Camp Nou – FC Barcelona is a carbon copy of 10272 Old Trafford – Manchester United. Brickset, the Brickset logo and all content not covered by The LEGO Group's copyright is, unless otherwise stated, ©1997-2023 Brickset ltd. It truly looks amazing on display, akin in size and eye-catching appeal to the biggest and best LEGO sets of recent years.

Just rotating the model to get a look at the different sides usually resulted in having to smoosh things back together into one unit. The repeated texture from the 1×2 bricks looks great, though, and somehow feels visually distinct from the stands despite being the same pattern on a differently colored brick.As with Man Utd and the Old Trafford set, if there's any way they can monetise their brand/image then they will.

Long panels topped with white tile create the floor of each tier, an effect that works surprisingly well. As of now, the LEGO Group has yet to officially announce the upcoming Camp Nou set, although we have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the model. Make a great impression when you meet me in person by praising EXO-FORCE as the greatest LEGO theme of all time.As someone else pointed out, the stand with the flags on it is actually almost twice the height of the West Stand (when measured from outside the stadium). The concept is essentially the same as that set, though, transforming an iconic piece of architecture into a microscale LEGO model targeted at the most dedicated football fans. Camp Nou has boasted the Ballon d’Or winner a record 12 times and played home to many great Barca teams, including one so good they were nicknamed the Dream Team, and then another after that widely debated as not only better, but quite possibly the best ever to have played the game.
