LEGO’s Camp Nou FC Barcelona building set was a majestic piece, but let’s be honest, who has 350 dollars lying around and 20 x 49 x 46 cm of real estate in the house sitting unused? Not many. I surely ain’t aware of anyone with that kind of money and space. Thankfully, for struggling fans, you can still get your hands on “building” the stadium without robbing the bank (don’t). Enter the CaDA Spotify Camp Nou FC Barcelona (C66023).
The Camp Nou may not be an ancient building compared to the many classical architectural marvels that emerged throughout Spain’s rich history, but it’s still considered one of the most iconic structures in the country. Once the largest stadium in Europe, it has been home to football—no wait, soccer—legends like Cruyff, Messi, and Ronaldinho.
Officially licensed by Spotify Camp Nou and FC Barcelona, the CaDA Spotify Camp Nou FC Barcelona (C66023) may be a “micro” build with a modest 728 pieces, but man, it’s not exactly small, small. When completed, it measures 28.2 cm across, 21.6 cm deep, and 7.7 cm tall (that’s 11.2 by 8.5 by 3 inches for you imperialists). The build features the stadium floodlights, red and blue spectator seats, scoreboards, and on the East Stand, you’ll find Camp Nou’s iconic words “MÉS QUE UN CLUB”—which translates from Catalan to “More than a club”—faithfully printed on the stand.
The pitch is meticulously recreated using green elements with white lines where appropriate. Meanwhile, on the outside, you get the beige exterior, an FC Barcelona logo, and, of course, the naming rights sponsor—Spotify—plastered before the stadium name.
The CaDA Spotify Camp Nou FC Barcelona (C66023) has launched in China with a list price of 299 yuan. As before, the actual checkout price is a discounted 199 yuan [CH]* (~28 USD)—as if the MSRP wasn’t already a bargain. But hey, who’s complaining? Definitely not me!
