Hmmm...doesn't look like they ship to the US. Probably wouldn't be worth the cost anyway.

They do have a US store, but looks like it has only American sports merch.

Yet to see a commercialily available model stadium that actually looks any good.

Doesn't include the new fan zone. I'm out

I bought that two or 3 years ago and never did finish it.

Open the box for the Palarse version and you get pieces to make a fence and a IOU for the rest. And it smells of piss!

Not a fan of these syndicated Lego sets. Anyone can follow the instructions, use all the specially shaped bricks and finish it.

Long gone are the days when you had to make a model using multi coloured bricks, no specially made shapes, and have to sift through a bin full of assorted shapes to find sorting vaguely suitable to make Airwolf’s rotor blades.

Only to be fed a lump of freeing cold poison and have our Fathers dance on our graves singing hallelujah before being woken up three hours before we went to bed to spend the day licking the road clean with our tongues.

Very wise, I’m guessing you were waiting on final plans for the North Stand shelf before completing it.

To my untrained eye that looks every bit as crap as that 1930s milk lorry with the Skint-era club crest they used to sell in the Queens Road shop. The very definition of overpriced tat. One for the Christmas Market? :lolol:

I’ll put you down as a ‘maybe’ then ……

I bought one of those a couple of years ago from the club shop for my Jnr. I got halfway through (notice that it was 'i') & realised the stickers were missing!!! The club shop said I had to return it & wouldn't budge & just send me the stickers. I was so incensed that they were expecting me to start the thing again that I ended emailing PBOBE on NYE begging him not to put me through it again. Some (most) of the pieces are tiny, although it did make me realise I should go to an optician. I sent him a couple of pics against a 5p piece to demonstrate how painstaking it was to get as far as I did. :lolol:

Needless to say he sorted it.

Top tip, glue the base boards to something solid, as if they're sitting around unfinished for a month or so, as you can't face continuing they sort of bend and when you try & relocate it, it all starts falling apart. :tantrum:

No I didn't bloody finish it!

I wish Lego would do a set, because quite frankly that one is pants and only has a similarity with the real thing.

Don't be fooled, most of that kit is full of small 'one,ers'. Smaller than the usual lego 'one,ers'. The instructions aren't that simple either, the Millennium Falcon was easier as it was how you've described.
I'll pay £10 to anyone who wants to put it together for me & I'll glue the base boards onto wood 1st! You need the patience of a saint! :lolol:

I know someone that has built a set of the Amex and it took forever. Looks good though.

And a working model monorail and I’m IN

Proper Albion logos all over this stuff but is it actually club merchandise? I’m confused.
