LEGO has produced lots of balls, so today we are going to take a close look at the “soccer ball”-sized ones. Where did they get their start and where are they going? To find out, let’s get the ball rolling! LEGO Soccer Sets The first balls we are looking at came from LEGO soccer sets. LEGO soccer sets were introduced in 1998 with the large stadium, soccer field baseplates and grandstand. You could play with the LEGO soccer ball, but it was not really a play feature. The play features for these sets started in 2000 with the introduction of a spring-loaded shooter. With this shooter, you could shoot the ball at targets, or with set 3409, you could play a soccer match with a friend.

In less than 12 hours, the new LEGO Star Wars Collectible Clone Wars E (5008162) promotional item is now out of stock on the LEGO Shop for various parts of the world. The US is out of stock but you can still check your local LEGO Brand Stores to see if they still have any. Considering you needed to purchase the UCS Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser (75367) to get it with its high price point, I’m surprised to see it out of stock so quickly but then again, the Venator was a pretty hyped ship when it was first revealed.
