August 17, 20168 yr 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.
August 19, 20168 yr 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). Edited August 19, 20168 yr by Soupperson1
August 19, 20168 yr Author 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.
August 19, 20168 yr Wasn't there a supposedly "leaked" image of Messi in minifigure form a couple of months ago?

August 19, 20168 yr 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, 20168 yr by LegoRomania
August 19, 20168 yr 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)

August 20, 20168 yr Picture Well guess I was wrong. If it was legit, I'd expect shorts to be printed on. (Like the Germany figures)
August 27, 20168 yr 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

August 28, 20168 yr Yeah, that head makes it an automatic fake. So now I'm gonna guess that we're getting unlicensed figures.
August 28, 20168 yr 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.
August 28, 20168 yr 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?

August 29, 20168 yr 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.

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.
August 29, 20168 yr 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.
August 29, 20168 yr 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.
