Roebuck Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) It will most likely be a best seller with Man U. fans (AFOLs or not), but wonder how many it will sell to other AFOLs Beckham is probably over the moon Edited January 12, 2020 by Roebuck Typo Quote
Jay Psi Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 It's a common sentiment amongst United fans that Old Trafford could use a few new bricks, but this is probably not what they meant... More seriously, it's about time they got rid of that knock-off brand that does the rounds in the megastore. If it's up to the usual standards, this might be my first non-Technic purchase in a decade.

lowlead Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 ...OH! This is real! Upon first glance I immediately thought MOC. I have zero interest in this, but for Manchester United fans?? WOW! Sets like this give me hope - that one day TLG will kick out some huge random super-specific set that I'll go nuts over. Good for you...futbol...soccer...Euroball crazies! Looks pretty awesome. Quote
TeriXeri Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Edit. pitch is 26x18 studs , or 22x14 between lines. Edited January 13, 2020 by TeriXeri Quote
Lucarex Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) 269.99 apparently Will sell a few in China, but you have to wonder which rabid fan at TLG made the choice/approach? I wonder if it's accurate to the real stadium to include rust and leaky roof tiles? Maybe the Lego license fee will help the Glazers fund some repairs, you know, ignoring that half-billion in debt.

jimmynick Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 I saw this on Instagram and thought "this has to be a hoax" but if it's real then . This is the best news for Man Utd supporters in several years! Quote
The Island Chronicles Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 @Lucarex That's 270 USD. But it's not minifig scale so I can't have in my town. Good for display purposes though. Quote
Vindicare Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 This seems more limited in appeal than most sets of this caliber they’ve done. But it is an impressive looking set. Quote

But it is an impressive looking set. Right?! I completely don’t care about this but maybe, hopefully, this can open doors for similarly niche things if it does well. This feels like it belongs more in the Architecture line. It even has the same all black box. I wonder why it’s under Creator Expert instead. Quote

kermit Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 definitely a skip i wish it wasnt micro scale Quote

At minifig scale, the piece count would have to at least double I imagine. Then the question of how many minifigs do they include? From that perspective alone, going micro scale was the way to go. However, I’d absolutely love to see a minifig scale one. Just for curiosity’s sake. Edited January 12, 2020 by Vindicare Quote

I was speculating about Minifig Soccer/Sports sets in the City forum, just based off 1 sticker, but we got a Fair people pack that was hinted on a sticker in 2019 , and 2020 also is an olympic year + euro 2020 soccer across many european countries. They did make soccer sets in 2000 during Euro 2000 , 20 years ago. Edited January 12, 2020 by TeriXeri Quote
autolycus Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 5 hours ago, kermit said: definitely a skip i wish it wasnt micro scale How massive of a set would you want? Anything even remotely reasonably scaled would have a pitch that's several baseplates before you even started with the stands. True scale, based on 1:42 that a mini figure is to an average human, you'd have a pitch that's a little under 10 baseplates long. Quote

I looked back at the old Sports theme, I’m somewhat familiar but not enough to really picture them. They definitely were small but I loved how you could buy the additional stuff-lights, food stands, signs. Very cool. I don’t think I’d buy them, but I’d like to see them revive that & see how they handle it now I was meaning though seeing this Creator set at minifig scale. Curiosity would be to see the piece count & price. Quote

Old Trafford holds about 76000 people. If they did even 1/10th of that number, that is 7600 seats. The pitch would be too large to fit on even a large coffee table or similar display area. Quote

Doing that would put the set over 900 USD. Sorry but I agree with @autolycus and @MAB on this one. It ain't happenin' bud. Edited January 13, 2020 by Brandon Pea Quote
Retro Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Is it possible that the poster meant he would rather see a reasonable sized play set with minifigures rather than an enormous, literally 'minifigures scale' set? So Hogwarts 75954 instead of 71043. Quote

So Hogwarts 75954 instead of 71043. These are Creator Expert sets that aren't meant to be played with. Creator Expert is one of those made for display. Quote
TeriXeri Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 https://brickset.com/sets/10272-1 Not my type of set but interesting build techniques. Quote
JaBaCaDaBra Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 even the naming is wrong It's a soccer stadium, not football Field lining is also soccer Quote
