LEGO Creator Expert - Real Madrid - Santiago Bernabéu Stadion

Product Information

Zooming in on some of the details, the 1×1 peaked roof tiles and transparent blue cheese slopes do an effective job of conveying the separation between stadium tiers and the luxury box suites. The “Real Madrid” logos feel a bit repetitive, but are authentic to the real stadium. It looks amazing, and better than the Camp Nou set. At least it is a stadium from a club that isn't going through a terrible phase lately like United and Barça. On other hand, there's some bad timing here, since the Bernabéu is under renoavation and it is going to look very different in two years or so. This is ultimately one of the flaws of football club-based stadiums, in that it only attracts those who follow and support these clubs. Being a pretty pricey set as well puts up a very high barrier to be able to enjoy this set, so unless you’re a Real Madrid fan, or a fan of stadium architecture, it’s highly likely that you won’t feel that this set is worth the money, time or space to display it.

I don't care about this set, the team, or the sport; but you better believe I have strong opinions on whether it should be called soccer or football. " The sizeable piece count is fully embraced in recreating so many of the football ground’s features, in a way that even in this scale, the sheer enormity of the real-life venue and the awe that it inspires is wonderfully captured. From any angle, there are details that will catch your eye and ultimately remind you of what one of football’s most iconic stadiums looked like, when by the end of 2022 the real thing will look very different.Hot on the heels of fierce rival Barcelona’s LEGO stadium set, 10284 Camp Nou – FC Barcelona (and that won’t have been by coincidence), 10299 Real Madrid – Santiago Bernabéu Stadium offers novelty and intrigue for a series of LEGO models that could otherwise risk falling into a formulaic pattern. So you heard something from your milkman's, cousin's, friend's brother-in-law that these sets weren't selling well. If only they'd told Lego as well, then they could have saved all that time and effort on making another one. And I'm sure Lego would used this information rather than any data they have on sales."

The way in which you build 10299 Real Madrid – Santiago Bernabéu Stadium is going to stay with you as much as the final model will hold your focus when you look at it. There’s so much to appreciate and understand in this fully-authentic LEGO recreation. It's funny, because I doubt it'd be as big of a deal or even a deal at all if American men were historically good at football. But because they're not, it's almost like England felt like and some still feel like they need to protect the quintessence of the sport from America or something by trying to separate the same exact sport via name. It's quite literally the definition of gate keeping. As an American I love England, in fact I want to live there someday, but it's such a petty thing to squabble about. Especially considering the fact that America in turn is regularly the team to beat when it comes to the women. Unlike the more modern Old Trafford stadium, with different levels, modern roof, and square footprint, I really enjoyed the curves of the Bernabeu – the design (maybe its the tan), reminded me a lot of arenas like the Colosseum, where gladiators did battle. What do you think of the Bernabeu now that you’ve had a closer look at it? Should LEGO keep doing sports stadiums, or do you think the audience is too narrow? Domestically, Real Madrid have won a record 34 La Liga titles and in European and worldwide football the club has won the most number of trophies, including a record 13 European Cups/Champions Leagues.Here’s a look at the 2 instruction booklets included. As I received this set fairly late, and only had less than 48 hours to build an almost 6,000 set set to ensure this review could get close to catching the embargo, I was really glad that the 2 books included allows you to build in tandem with a partner. A must-have for any Madrid supporter?s club room, view all of the iconic details under the bright stadium lights of one of the world?s most famous football pitches! Real Madrid fans feeling nostalgic about the redevelopment of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium will be able to recreate its former, iconic look themselves after LEGO released a construction kit to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the LaLiga club's ground. Parts of it are repetitive, especially as many sections of the stadium are mirrored, and it really reminded me of building Old Trafford, but at the same time, it felt quite novel and fresh too. Madrid unfortunately couldn’t mark the set’s announcement week with victory in the Champions League, losing 1-0 to PSG in the first leg of their Round of 16 match on Tuesday night. Their next game is at the Bernabéu on Saturday, February 19, where they’ll face 18th-placed Alavés in La Liga.
