Review: LEGO 6322501 The United Trinity Promo Set

March 3, 2020 By Jay Ong 3 Comments

One of the most surprising sets announced by LEGO this year was 10272 Old Trafford, a massive ode to the Manchester United stadium.

I’ll be reviewing Old Trafford soon, so keep an eye out for that (it’s a monster!), but before that, let’s take a quick look at the accompanying promotional set – 6322501 The United Trinity. 

It was made available when Old Trafford launched, however if you missed out, here in Australia, limited numbers of these may still be available (when I last checked two weeks ago) at the Melbourne Legoland Discovery Centre, and are free with purchase of Old Trafford.

Special thanks to the Legoland Discovery Centre Melbourne for providing this set for review.  

Name: The United Trinity
Set Number: 6322501
Pieces: 37
Price : Gift with Purchase of 10272 Old Trafford
Exclusive to: LEGO.com / LEGO Brand Retail Stores / Legoland Discovery Centres
Theme: Gift With Purchase
Release Date: 16 January 2020

Unlike most other LEGO promotional sets, the packaging of The United Trinity is a little peculiar – instead of coming in an exclusive designed box, it comes in a standard yellow square box.

The instruction manual doubles as the illustration on the front, sliding into a pocket of the box like a frame. On the inside, the elements are curiously bagged in a ziploc bag as opposed to the usual sealed plastic bags.

It all feels very odd, and unlike any other Gift with Purchase that suggests that this promotional set wasn’t planned and was a last minute addition.

Here’s the build – it’s a really simple build and nothing to write home about.

It’s a minor but very nice touch that the text on the pedestal is printed and  features the names of George Best, Denis Law and Sir Bobby Charlton – some of the most legendary United players best known as the Trinity.

The minifigures have plain red jerseys, and white pants. The minimal red jerseys are pretty period-accurate – a relic of an era before massive corporate sponsorships.

That said, the legs are very inaccurate and would’ve been much more appropriate if they had been shorts instead.

On the back, we have the Jersey numbers of the players – again, period-accurate as they didn’t have their names printed on the back in the 60s.

One glaring omission in my opinion is the lack of a football, held by Sir Bobby Charlton, which doesn’t quite match the actual statues outside Old Trafford.

Here’s a comparison with the micro-version of the statue from the Old Trafford set.

What I liked:

  • A great piece of history, especially for Manchester United fans
  • Semi-accurate jerseys with printed numbers
  • Printed text on the pedestal

What I didn’t like: 

  • They could’ve all worn shorts
  • The packaging leaves much to be desired

Final thoughts: As a Manchester United fan, this promotional set hits all the right spots for me.

To have minifigure versions of The United Trinity to go alongside the Old Trafford set just feels right, considering these are the first to feature actual Manchester United players as minifigures.

The choice of packaging is a little lacking, and lacks the polish and collectability of a typical gift with purchase set.

While the minifigures aren’t 100% accurate, (shorts would’ve definitely made these much more compelling) they do a decent job of replicating the look of these United legends.

If you’re a United fan, these are a must-have, especially if you own the Old Trafford set.

They’re rising rapidly in price on the secondary market. If you still want some, I’d check in with the Melbourne Legoland Discovery Centre as they’re still available with purchases of the Old Trafford set, although I imagine that they’ll soon run out!

Rating: 3/5


Thanks for reading this quick review of the LEGO United Trinity promotional set! Take this as a short preview of my upcoming Old Trafford review, which I hope to complete soon!

Are you a United fan? If you managed to snag this promo set when Old Trafford launch, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the set!

    Anyone know what part is the hair piece for George Best?

    Maybe the new packaging is an experiment for Lego’s green goals?

      It could be it – it does seem like a new “modular” format for sets, but the fact that we got a ziploc bag instead of the sealed plastic bags does strongly suggest that this was a very last minute thing.

With the reveal of 10325 Alpine Lodge (hit the link in bio to learn more), I was really surprised that LEGO managed to maintain it's US$99.99 pricetag.

This is now the 6th year running that the LEGO Winter Village set has been priced at $99.99, and it's especially impressive this year with the price of everything going up.

Good job, LEGO for ensuring families and long-time fans don't get priced out of the annual Winter Village tradition 👏

Here's the exact sequence of events as it happened 😱

How's your day going? ☺️
Here's a look at the exclusive minifigures from th Here's a look at the exclusive minifigures from the UCS Venator, plus the commemorative Clone Wars 20th anniversary brick!

Phase II Captain Rex makes a long-awaited return, and while he's sorely lacking a cloth kama, this is still a really good, and clean version of everyone's favourite Clone Trooper.

A younger Admiral Yularen makes his second appearance as a minifigure with his signature stache and Republic uniform.

While minifigures aren't the main reason to pick up a UCS set, these two really complement the UCS Venator, and will make a fine addition to anyone's LEGO Star Wars collection!

Full review of the UCS Venator coming soon, so keep an eye out on the blog for it!

Special thanks to LEGO for sending this review copy over!

It's running during the school holidays until 8 October and there's a few new fun DreamZzz-themed activities to do, including the premiere of the new 4D movie Z-Blob Rescue Rush! 

As annual passholders, we got to check out the Pyjama Party launch which was quite fun.

A great way to check out DreamZzz sets and it's a fun afternoon if you're looking for something fun to do with your kids during the school holidays.

If you can find this set on sale, Tranquil Garden is a fantastic pickup, and hands down one of the most aesthetically pleasing sets of 2023.

The Geisha is from LEGO Minifigures Series 4 and a great addition to the set.
