LEGO® CELEBRATES 110 YEARS OF AN ICONIC FOOTBALL STADIUM
News Release: LEGO Malaysia Trading / Edelman
For the first time ever, Manchester United fans can now build and showcase a unique and authentic LEGO® model of the ‘Theatre of Dreams’.
Malaysian Manchester United and LEGO® fans alike can now get their hands on and build Old Trafford brick by brick. The 3,898-piece LEGO® Creator Expert model is a spectacular tribute to one of football’s most iconic stadiums and makes for a true collector’s item that is bound to take centre spot at home or the office. This will be the first hands-on experience that the fans will have in constructing a replica of Manchester United’s Old Trafford from building bricks.
The model is a true celebration of the passion for the game shared by fans all over the world, paying special homage to Manchester United fans. Developed particularly for fans aged sixteen and up, the high attention to detail makes this LEGO® model of Old Trafford so special. The 1:600 replica model features several authentic details including the Munich memorial clock, players’ tunnel and a statue of Sir Alex Ferguson.
The model will bring Old Trafford to the homes of Manchester United’s enormous fan base of 659M fans worldwide and to those that have not yet been able to experience the stadium in person. Offering the ultimate building experience, this set will give a chance to the fans to indulge in challenging projects that will be rewarding and satisfying as well as giving the chance to show their passion for their club.
Sean Jefferson, Manchester United’s Director of Partnerships has said, “Our Old Trafford stadium is as iconic as Manchester United itself and we are proud to be able to bring it to life in LEGO® form. I think everyone has played with LEGO® bricks at some point in their life, however, it’s still amazing to see the level of detail the LEGO® designers have managed to recreate in this piece. We are sure it will be hugely popular amongst Manchester United and LEGO® fans alike.”
Building this set is sure to be a nostalgic experience for Manchester United fans while also providing a rewarding building experience for LEGO® fans. The building instructions include information on the stadium and its rich heritage and history as well as the designers that have brought the set to life.
According to Michael Psiaki, LEGO® Design Master, “To create Old Trafford in LEGO® bricks was a tremendous design challenge for the team, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. The 110-year-old stadium provided us with so many important locations, features and stories to tell as we constructed this model. We are excited for our fans to be able to experience all of that history and attention to detail as they construct and proudly display this iconic stadium.”
