LEGO Minifigures of Soccer Legends

In a first, LEGO has released minifigures of these four soccer legends. These minifigures are part of collectible sets that not only celebrate the illustrious careers of these players but are also replete with vibrant builds, hidden details, and designs ready for display.

Unleashing Creativity with Football Highlights Sets

The Football Highlights sets, priced at $29.99, offer a unique interactive experience for kids aged 10 and above. These sets allow children to recreate iconic moments from the players’ careers using letter-shaped builds inspired by the players’ names. The sets are thoughtfully designed with team colors, jersey numbers, and fun Easter eggs for fans to discover. For older builders aged 14 and above, a larger Messi-themed set, LEGO Editions Lionel Messi – Celebration, priced at $199, can transform into a 3D piece of wall art that captures Messi’s signature celebration pose.
