The only reason I included the holders and the bricks is that their primary
use is for sports models. Pretty much any piece out of this line could be
used outside the sports line (except the balls). Just thinking off the top
of my head, the basketball/quidditch hoops could be used as hyperspace gates
for mini-style space ships, a la Cowboy Bebop. But I guess the holders
could fall under minifig accessory (like the seats) while the field/court
bricks could fall under the brick category.
