LEGO's World Cup 2026 Collection Praised for Creative Trophy Set
LEGO World Cup 2026 Collection Praised for Creative Trophy

LEGO enthusiasts are celebrating the FIFA World Cup 2026 with a new commemorative collection that includes themed builds perfect for display during the tournament. The competition kicks off this week with Mexico facing South Africa, and excitement is already building among fans.

Standout Set: FIFA World Cup Official Trophy

The highlight of the collection is the LEGO FIFA World Cup Official Trophy, priced at £159.99. This 2,842-piece set offers a rewarding challenge and results in a striking display piece. Finished in metallic gold with a distinctive spiral form, it sits atop a black base and includes a decorative nameplate featuring the official FIFA World Cup logo. The set is suitable for ages 12 and up and has been praised by customers for its intricate design and enjoyable level of difficulty, with many describing the build as 'fun' and satisfying.

One reviewer commented: "As a Lego family we were absolutely thrilled to have received this product, even more so for my football mad son. The box was really big, as always there were the instructions and individual packages containing the Lego. Very easy to use and create. The finish was fantastic and it is now pride of place."

Another customer noted: "In my opinion this is the most creative set Lego has created. They turned an abstract piece of sculpture into an accessible but challenging build. The selection of pieces and colour shades is amazing." However, not all feedback was positive, with one reviewer describing it as a 'frustrating build' due to pieces flying off if too much pressure is applied.

Player Highlight Kits

The collection also includes Football Highlights kits featuring four football stars. The Lionel Messi set (£24.99) pays tribute to the Argentine star with a replica of his number 10 shirt and a minifigure, along with Easter eggs celebrating his career. The Kylian Mbappé set (£24.99) showcases his initials and shirt number 10, with a commemorative plaque bearing his signature and statistics. The Cristiano Ronaldo set (£24.99) features Portugal's national colours and Ronaldo's CR7 branding, including a minifigure in his Portugal strip. The Vini Jr. set (£24.99) highlights the Brazilian star with a bold 'V' in Brazil's colours and his number 7 jersey, plus a minifigure. Each set contains between 471 and 500 pieces and is designed for ages 10 and up.

Other Alternatives

For Manchester United fans, the FOCO BRXLZ 3D Construction Toy is available for £26.26 on Amazon, allowing builders to assemble a display piece with the club crest and colours. Those seeking a non-sporting option can consider the LULUFUN Statue of Liberty set, priced at £30.99, which comprises 2,810 pieces and can be showcased as a decorative ornament.
