Lego Sports
If you love your sports but you love your Legos, too, there's just no need to feel torn between two loves. The Lego sports series of theme toys just keeps on coming out with new ways to indulge in Lego athletics.
And what better way to re-live your favorite championship games than by re-creating them using your Lego sports kits for film sets. You can do this with football, basketball, hockey, and soccer. Each kit comes with enough bricks and other pieces to construct entire playing fields, arenas, and skating rinks.
Your favorite Lego sports teams are available, too. Buy them with a kit or supplement the team with individual minifigure characters designed to specialize in a particular position on the playing field.
You can't enjoy competitive sports rivalries to the fullest without a screaming bunch of fans and a scoreboard to keep the pressure alive. Lego sports fans and scoreboards for soccer and football will keep your brickfilms sports action scenes authentic to the last detail.
Basketball fans can build a mini NBA arena with the Lego sports series with the 481-piece NBA Ultimate Arena kit, complete with two scoreboards and bleachers for the fans. The open top means the filming opportunities can be zoom shots or distant, courtside or bird's eye view.
The NBA Ultimate Arena kit from the Lego sports series is a great way to start a collection of minifigure basketball stars. The kit comes with two-inch players that have spring-loaded waistlines so they can actually shoot the ball. Your first team will include Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, Kevin Garnett, Allen Iverson, Jason Kidd, Tracy McGrady, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, Shaquille O'Neal, and Antoine Walker. With a line-up like that, you just can't lose.
For gravity-defying, action-packed Lego sports adventure, turn to the Gravity Games series marketed from 2003 to 2004. This series brings a skateboard street park, snowboarding big air competition, skateboard vert park challenge, snowboard boarder cross race, and a snowboard super pipe. Awesome, dude!
As your own enthusiasm grows for the Lego sports series, it's a pretty sure bet the sports-themed series itself will grow, too.
