Brotherfromanotherbrick Posted July 16, 2016 I have been recently told by an inside source that LEGO sports will return in 2017. We will have subthemes such as Soccer, Hockey, Skateboarding,Skiing,Snowboarding, and Basketball. Please take this only as a rumor currently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Meleca Posted July 16, 2016 make sense, after the germany soccer team, GB team and this one but I do not believe we are going to get sets as those in the 2000´s... only mini figures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazing Bricks Posted July 16, 2016 Hmmm, would make for a great theme. Hope it's true! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrickJagger Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Hope this happens. Here's a video on it that I found: link removed Edited July 18, 2016 by Rick No need to promote silly Youtube videos containing only text. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert8 Posted July 16, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised of this is true The last Sports line was like 10 years ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickJagger Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) OK, here's why I think he's legit: He said they were making every major sport next year except Baseball,Football and Hockey. This makes sense because OYO Sports owns the right to make sets based on those sports. Most people don't know that.

Robert8 Posted July 16, 2016 Ah? How could someone own the rights over baseball and football? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This makes sense because OYO Sports owns the right to make sets based on those sports. Most people don't know that. OYO also has hockey too though. Not sure if exclusive And these major league players? Or just generic players.. Playing the sport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickJagger Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) OYO also has hockey too though. Not sure if exclusive And these major league players? Or just generic players.. Playing the sport. Sorry about that, he said Skiing, not Hockey. Ah? How could someone own the rights over baseball and football? They own the rights to replicate those teams in building block form.

Robert8 Posted July 17, 2016 They own the rights to replicate those teams in building block form. Ahh that's different So, this is going to be a licensed theme, like the Germany Team CMF's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
just2good Posted July 17, 2016 I mean with the Messi figure that leaked a few months ago, I guess it makes sense... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Fezter Posted July 17, 2016 I doubt this would be a fully fleshed theme, as those sub themes would take up half a wall of a Brand Store alone. More likely? CMF's. Brick built figures. But as for a theme, no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert8 Posted July 17, 2016 I mean with the Messi figure that leaked a few months ago, I guess it makes sense... If that Messi minifigure will be in this theme, I hope they will include an alternate torso with a prison outfit #halamadrid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrickJagger Posted July 17, 2016 Speed Champions, City, but i got barely any news Keep asking him questions, we need for info to find out if this is true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoRomania Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) Speed Champions, City, but i got barely any news If you can,please ask him if there will be a new space theme. Edited July 18, 2016 by LegoRomania Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anonknee Muss Posted July 18, 2016 Whoa! I hope it isn't a flesh line, otherwise I would probably lose interest. Makes sense really, lego do bring back old themes at least every half decade like the pirates and agents them, makes sense they are bringing the sports theme back.

Exetrius Posted July 18, 2016 I really hope it's not minifigures only, even if I'm probably not getting any of the sets. As a kid, I missed out the Sports and Extreme Stunts sets, but when I saw them in older catalogs, I really wanted them. Bring back the halfpipes, the ski ramps, the basketball and the (ice?)hockey fields!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazing Bricks Posted July 18, 2016 Skate park, that's what I've heard about this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Magma Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) I always liked all of the older sports themes when I was younger, it would be interesting to see those themes make a comeback. I do wonder if the hockey stuff will be done with figures like that one from one of the older Collectible Minifigure series, but I think they will (if LEGO hockey will be a thing again) since I can't see them making those technic/BIONICLE-ish guys from back then again today.

Robert8 Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) Someone in LEGO just loves skating too much Seriously Edited July 18, 2016 by Robert8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Magma Posted July 18, 2016 I hope we'll get to see a Pepper Roni (from the LEGO Island games) cameo in the skate park set, that would be awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
