LEGO Creator Expert Camp Nou FC Barcelona (10284)

Product Information

Then, for anyone who is into their football, who does have more than a surface-level appreciation of the extra detail that has gone into the design here, 10284 Camp Nou – FC Barcelona is another one of those very special LEGO sets to save up for and truly enjoy. Messi has recently left his longstanding club, thus dropping the allure of buying this particular set (for some). I'm sure I'm not the only one who got in touch with TLG with the strong suggestion that Architecture Stadia becomes a new product line.

The slogan on the bleachers reads “Més que un club,” which translates from the Catalan as “More than a club.” Given that Man United and Barcelona have fan bases that go way beyond their local areas I can see why they have done them. From the structure and tones of the base through to particular parts and techniques used to construct the supporting framework of the stadium, and from the unique printed parts used for the football pitch and the particular way in which the seating has been built, there’s plenty that worked so well in 10272 Old Trafford – Manchester United that logically has carried over into the design of 10284 FC Barcelona Camp Nou.

The proportions are WAAAAY off. The stadium shouldn’t be that tall (look it up on google maps 3D) "

Wow -- that's quite an overwhelming majority of negative poll responses! 62% have no interest, 19% don't like it. Just 8% plan on buying it."Once built, that is thanks to this continued and – even though we talk about it a great deal – still underappreciated level of attention to detail that the LEGO Group brings to sets in this current era of design. Granted, the wider audience for this LEGO for Adults set may only come into this model with a broad knowledge of the subject matter. Importantly, then, if all you know of Camp Nou is the coloured seats and the general shape of the overall stadium and its four stands, and you like football and LEGO, then 10284 Camp Nou – FC Barcelona immediately impresses. I tell ya, if they released an Architecture-scaled Anfield and Goodison, with Stanley Park in the middle, then I'd be in like a shot!!! I suspect the “Camp Nou” signage and impressive glass wall will be the angle most fans choose to showcase this from, though. There are so many little details included around the model too that at once both blend together to so smartly recreate Camp Nou, and still also speak to the subtle changes in direction and angle that make this stadium so unique. — Characters — Tied to Catalonia’s traditions that include its own language and culture, Barcelona is a more politicised club than most others and has previously ( and quite recently) found itself a focal point for the region’s search for autonomy from Spain. Even if its official position is one of neutrality, there are any number of examples of the respect the club pays to its local community and region, from communicating everything in media in Catalan (alongside Spanish and international languages), to incorporating the colours and design of the Catalan flag into more than one away kit design.

Yeah, we have no idea what LEGOs internal data actually looks like, but we can make some summations... like that despite how much myself and everyone else seems to hate the show, 21302 mustve sold well enough to launch a theme of sitcom set sets. So with this release i think we can surmise that as others have said in this thread, 10272 probably sold really really well. But not to regular AFOLs, to football fans.Being neither a ManU nor a Barca fan, these sets don't interest me at all and the chances of getting a Tottenham Hotspur Stadium / New White Hart Lane are probably next to zero! ;-) I'm not sure I'd spend this kind of money on even that, to be honest. As of now, we can epect to see the LEGO Camp Nou stadium launch later this fall come October, but an official release date has yet to be confirmed. It’ll most likely launch come the first of the month given the usual trend with new debuts. Pricing on the other hand is a little more up in the air. This set is only targeted at FCB fans so it's not surprise it's not well received here as statistically, even if we were all football fans, there wouldn't be many huge Barça fans. The next step puts the roof coverings on. There’s some clever tilework on the roof that does a good gapless job of approximating the curve of the glass wall below it. The roof overhanging the seating is braced with lightsaber hilts and blades in light grey, a detail that set designer Rok Zgalin Kobe calls out in the instruction books as a favorite touch.
