Amazing Bricks Posted August 17, 2016 I think they can pull a good sports theme without a license. And the sets would be cheaper Yep, and I hope it's that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickLord123 Posted August 18, 2016 Any ideas about when the wave will be released? I'd guess summer wave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soupperson1 Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Any ideas about when the wave will be released? I'd guess summer wave. Is January not more likely?, we have no new unlicensed theme coming out next year (unless you count LEGO batman movie).

CM4Sci Posted August 19, 2016 Is January not more likely?, we have no new unlicensed theme coming out next year (unless you count LEGO batman movie). I heard it was just a preview in the catalog and it'll be out next summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anonknee Muss Posted August 19, 2016 Wasn't there a supposedly "leaked" image of Messi in minifigure form a couple of months ago? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acalade Posted August 19, 2016 any Idea if the Mini-figs will be fleshies, or yellow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoRomania Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Well the original Sports line had yellow,but there were some fleshi also speed champions has yellow minifigs,so I vote for yellow. Edited August 19, 2016 by LegoRomania Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acalade Posted August 19, 2016 That would be my vote as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickLord123 Posted August 19, 2016 It could be a fake. True, but from what I remember, the printing was really high quality. (I haven't seen the picture in a while so I could be wrong) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrickLord123 Posted August 20, 2016 Picture Well guess I was wrong. If it was legit, I'd expect shorts to be printed on. (Like the Germany figures) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrickLord123 Posted August 27, 2016 I found a custom Neymar figure which appears to match the design of the Messi figure, but this figure has leg printing. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neymar-Junior-football-Barcelona-minifigure/dp/B011D43FYY/ref=pd_bxgy_21_img_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=3FAGQP836CW08ZSSQWM1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrickLord123 Posted August 28, 2016 Yeah, that head makes it an automatic fake. So now I'm gonna guess that we're getting unlicensed figures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hisstori Posted August 28, 2016 Dang! Didn't know about these rumors. Anyways, making unlicensed sport themes would be cheaper like mentioned above, which would probably be for the best. Though, making stuff like NBA, MLB, NFL, MLS, etc. might appeal to more people and thus increase the want for fans to get those sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ookami Posted August 28, 2016 Perhaps they can make the thing they did with Octan like you know - inner brand. Maybe there will also be some original sports leagues and teams for Lego city, which actually don't exist in the real world? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrickJagger Posted August 29, 2016 Perhaps they can make the thing they did with Octan like you know - inner brand. Maybe there will also be some original sports leagues and teams for Lego city, which actually don't exist in the real world? Doubt it, simply because it would be more profitable to get the licenses. I'd love to be wrong, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe there will also be some original sports leagues and teams for Lego city, which actually don't exist in the real world? Well, we have these teams in the CMF line, so it's not without precedent (I included the American Football player even though there's no team name or logo): I'm hoping this is the route they take, but I'm pretty eager either way.

Bricknblue Posted August 29, 2016 Guess this won't be a popular line in the US... Just like EVERY other sports related themes LEGO has ever made. I can't wait for these to be 75% off, should be great. Will we get just a goal post because LEGO doesn't make baseplates in sets anymore, so any type of field is out.

Hisstori Posted August 29, 2016 When will we be getting rumours? If these sets are coming out in the summer time, we should be getting some info during this leak season (within 2-3 months). But we can't talk about that stuff here, of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
