Robert8 Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) DFB is Deutscher Fußball-Bund, which means German Football Association! So, this is about the Germany National Football Team and not the Bundesliga (which is a shame beacuse I wanted a Lewandowski minifgure!)

escortmad79 Posted October 20, 2015 Could it be a generic footballer, 1 from each nation that qualified for the Euros on a European release? So a minifig with shorts/socks & the national team torso with a football included & stickers for the back of the torso? Proper blind packaging Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAB Posted October 20, 2015 ^ I doubt it. And if they did, it would be tough for them to get agreement from all the individual football associations to use the badges and kits. If you've ever looked at the Panini stickers, check out England. They always end up with a generic flag rather than the badge, and the kits are airbrushed white. The English FA won't allow Panini to use the badge or kit, as they sell rights to Topps. Character Building has had a license for international kits, I wonder if some of those licenses are still current. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enzo Posted October 21, 2015 Should be a Euro 2016 series with all teams with a wider release. Can't help but think 16 x German player minifigs won't make for a great collecting experience. Minimal accessories too (a ball, and ummm....?) unlike Team GB 2012, which will make the whole blind bag experience particularly frustrating. Especially for football-mad kids...even German ones.

Has it been confirmed that it is a series of 16? It could have a different number (like Team GB). A series of 11 numbered and named players would make sense, or could be 11 + substitutes. Although you are right it could be a bit boring. Most German players even seem to have the same haircut, so not much variation at all! If it is actual (named) players, I wonder if they would go down the fleshie skin route? If it is a Euro 2016 series, I don't really get the German DFB connection. The DFB only does it's own marketing, not marketing for other national FA's. Plus there are 24 teams in Euro 2016. It would be pointless to do a series with only some of them so the series would need to be 24 sets. Edited October 21, 2015 by MAB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert8 Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) According to CM4Sci, this series will have 4 variations: Well, the Soccer series has four different variations depending on the 4 countries they're going to be sold in. Who knows. Edited November 28, 2015 by Robert8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CM4Sci Posted November 28, 2015 Can we get this thread's name changed to 71014 Soccer CMF or something? I was told by someone we consider an insider that there could possibly be 4 different versions of this series, one for each country these are going to be sold in - Germany with German players France with french players UK with UK players and Spain with Spanish ones.

Amazing Bricks Posted November 28, 2015 What's awful about this is that us Americans and the rest of the countries not mentioned above, are not going to be able to get them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sven F Posted November 29, 2015 Sure we will, on ebay with a 70% markup. Luckily i do a lot of traveling in the summer when these are due, and Germany happens to be a big place in my way of wherever i wish to go. If these don't come with any special parts or hairs, i don't think i'll care for them anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KCMatze Posted November 29, 2015 I am not too exited for these, but we will see ;) I might get those for the sake of collecting or for any Borussia Dortmund players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope not. I'd prefer available in UK (or even just England) with England players. While it would be great for those in Northern Ireland or Wales to get their players, I doubt the markets are big enough there. Plus it would be great to see Scottish collectors having to get a purely England team to be complete :-) That said, I'd prefer they did one minifig in generic (unnamed) strip for each country.

Robert8 Posted December 1, 2015 Maybe a Roman Weindenfeller minifig? I bet each series will have only 11 minifigures, and the goalkeeper would be Neuer for sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bricksfan Posted December 1, 2015 Just in case it´s 16, my guesses are: 11 lineup, Sub goalkeeper, sub defence, 2 sub Midfielders, sub Striker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KCMatze Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Weidenfeller is definitely no option. Reus and Hummels should be save for Germany. IF they release real life persons of course. Edited December 1, 2015 by KCMatze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
