Football enthusiasts are celebrating the release of the LEGO FIFA World Cup Official Trophy, which has been praised as the 'most creative set ever' by fans. Priced at £159.99, this impressive 2,842-piece set recreates the iconic trophy with a metallic gold finish and elegant spiral design, making it a standout display piece for any collector.
Building the Dream
Designed for builders aged 12 and over, the set offers a rewarding and challenging experience that can be enjoyed as a family project during the FIFA World Cup 2026 tournament. The model sits on a black base with a decorative nameplate featuring the official FIFA World Cup logo.
One enthusiastic buyer commented: 'As a Lego family, we were absolutely thrilled to have received this product. The finish was fantastic, and it is now pride of place. Absolutely love this and had so much fun building it with my son.' Another fan described it as 'the most creative set Lego has created,' adding that 'the selection of pieces and colour shades is amazing.'
Mixed Reviews
While most feedback has been positive, some builders found the set frustrating. One reviewer noted: 'If you apply too much pressure, bits fly off and you have to work out where they go.' However, another customer countered: 'This is a great set to build. We built it as a family, which was great.'
