There’s only FIFA World Cup, and figuring out who gets to take home the official trophy every year is one of the most exciting parts of being a soccer fan. If you’ve ever dreamt of bringing it home yourself someday as a soccer player or you’re just a massive fan of the sport, LEGO has created the perfect collectible for you: a buildable and permanent building kit featuring the FIFA World Cup trophy in all of its golden glory.
Though the building kit is sold out on the official LEGO site right now, the LEGO Editions FIFA World Cup is still available at Amazon. You can get it in a matter of days as it’s in stock, however, and it’s just $199.99.
A special edition LEGO piece perfect for soccer fans
That’s a rather paltry sum for a kit that features 2,842 pieces that you can eventually build into a trophy that you can keep on yourself. It also comes with a special World Cup 2026 minifigure to sweeten the deal. This buildiing set is for ages 12 and up, and it looks just like the real thing: two human figures holding up the Earth with the globe and plaque that names off some of the World Cup winners from years past.
It also has a fun little secret: the top globe actually opens up to reveal the included minifigure with its own mini trophy and backdrop that displays the World Cup logo. You can keep it in there or take it out to play with, then put it back whenever you’re finished.
If you have trouble building the trophy, you can simply refer to the included app-based interactive 3D building instructions on the LEGO Builder app. It can help you zoom in, rotate the blocks in 3D, and track progress with the app. Then you can look back on it and see all the hard work you put into bringing it to life, something that’s always fun to do whenever you finish a LEGO build.
This is a lengthy build, which more than justifies the price. It’s also one that you’ll want to find a good place to display when you’ve finished everything. That means you should exercise caution when buying it for children or building it with impatient young children. It’s meant to be a keepsake, and that’s exactly what it can be when you’ve finished erecting it.
If you’re thinking you need to figure out a great present for a soccer fan or just someone who loves complex LEGO builds, you’ll want to go ahead and pick one of these kits up. Due to its popularity, it won’t be in stock too long. And if you haven’t already gotten yours at the official LEGO website, Amazon is probably your best bet. Be sure to get yours and put a smile on any soccer fan’s smile.
