Brick Fanatics
“43018 Lionel Messi – Celebration is the ultimate brick-built tribute to the Argentinian player, and the LEGO Editions set that’s closest in concept to LEGO Art. The model captures Messi’s victory pose from behind, showing off his shirt name and number, and includes plenty of... More Easter eggs referencing moments in his life and career. If you’re the sort of football fan to hang posters of Messi on your wall, this one’s probably for you.”

“The Big Kahuna of the collection, however, comes courtesy of the Messi Celebration Set. This is the priciest of the bunch, listed for $200 at launch. This bad boy features 1,427 pieces in total and stands over 15 inches high. This is a hanging set, so it's a little different... More from the first two full-body displays, but it makes for a great piece of LEGO decor. If you're running out of room to display your sets like some of us here (again, me), this is a solid space-saving option.”
