Calli Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I don't see why they would not be popular. The German soccer team is (among) the most favorite in the world. Players like Thomas Müller, Manuel Neuer and so on have fans all over the world. Every child that plays soccer knows them. Their names will stick with soccer fans forever. (I might be biased though cause I am German ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordoflego Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I googled somewhere that release date is May 14th, not sure if it was mentioned. Also, they will be introduced on April 12th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I think there's a set number for these now. I'll make a note to find it and change the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_rpg Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Heh this makes me think of this set from way back: http://brickset.com/sets/3409-1 They even had a version with the French and US team, but of course with the simple generic faces from back in the day. EDIT: this set is also hilariously realistic I know some people will certainly be disappointed that they chose Germany instead of France. Now that I think of it, are there even any French people on this forum? I get the feeling most French people tend to stick to the French side of the internet Edited April 2, 2016 by c_rpg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffProbst Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) Football fans won't be the target market for these, CMF collectors will be. I'm not sure that there are any die-hard fans of the GB Olympic Team outside of the UK but people still want the figs for their collection.

Well you are talking to one so add me to your list however I would concede that it is not aimed as much at football fans. Another separate point though I wonder is who will be in the 16 man team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
111ins Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Team GB was only 9 figures, so this will likely be similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
