Hapori Tohu Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 The 2012 Summer Olympics are approaching, and it appears that LEGO has been preparing. In honor of the Great Britain Olympic team, LEGO is releasing a special edition Lego Minifigure line-up representing nine different British athletes. While the minifigures will be available exclusively in the UK, I recommend you check out the images <a href='http://www.brickset.com/news/article/?ID=2991' target='offsite'>here</a>.

Cederak Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 That's pretty cool. Kinda makes me wish I were an Olympian athlete from Great Britain. -Ced Quote Cederak's Library l Blog: Fair Enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meiko Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) In case people want to see pictures, there is only one really, but it's official.Personally my favorite is the equestrian, because for one, I'm an equestrian, and two, I love the leg printing.

CHTrilogy Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Nice! I'll pick a few up if I see them. Quote ~ CHTrilogy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xccj Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 It's a shame they're only going to be released in the UK, but I'm sure the collectors over there are loving this. Anyway, the figs have some nice designs and some unique hairpieces that I want.

GSR Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) I think it's safe to say that if there's a Lego figure of yourself (or at least one based on you/your teammates), your life thus far has been a success.

Meiko Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Looks cool, but will we be getting any U.S. minifigs?Potentially, next time the Olympics are held in the U.S., which hasn't been planned so far.My boss is going to be in the UK in June, so I might get a couple if he goes to pick 'em up.Still deciding what to get if he does.I'd say try to get one of each, because this is the smallest series yet, with only 9 figures instead of the regular 16.

For the UK?HALLELUJAHAhem.I will have to buy these, possibly just so I can shove it in the faces of all those people who have bought Target-exclusives of everything over the years. Or I could just go 'I don't need to buy all of these...' just to torment the completists who must have everything.I kid, I kid But I will probably get some.
