Built at 1:600 scale, the Old Trafford is a detailed set. It includes the United Trinity statue, the Munich Memorial clock, and players tunnel among many other authentic details. Additionally, the built product measures 18.5 cm (6.5”) high, 47 cm (18”) long, and 39 cm (15”) wide.

Personally, I am not a big fan of any team sport. Therefore, I find it hard to get excited about this set. Additionally, it does not come with or accommodate any Minifigures. Minifigures are a huge selling point for me. However, Old Trafford (10272) will appeal to fans of soccer (football), and specially to Manchester United fans. Will it be a big seller? Only time will tell. With a reported fan base of 1.1 million, there are probably a number of people willing to dish out $349.99 for this. I just will not be one of them. What about you?

Until next time,
