So from this can we assume that lego will release olympic sets?
OR is it that only soccer is to get this treatment for one or more of the
following reasons:
[1] It's in Australia
[2] not enough soccer being played
[3] can't be bothered creating an olympic range
[4] It's in Australia
[5] Where's Australia
[6] In order for the sets to arrive in time, they should have been shipped
months ago
[7] the sets were shipped last week
[8] It's in australia
[9] who'd want to buy them
[10] everyone would want them
[11] how do we juniorize javellin throwing?
[12] can't be juniorized enough
[13] It's in Australia
[14] Kevin Gosper minifig wouldn't be popular enough
