This kit was great, when I saw it in person, I had to have one.
I never did figure out one thing thoa: why the soccer ball?

Well, the official answer is from Christina:
There is a bit of LEGO history behind that and an BrickFest tradition.
1. In almost every LEGO set there is an extra piece. Typically, it is a
spare of an element that is already included in the set. But since this
set was not made by the LEGO Group.. the people involved in making it,
decided to put a non typical extra element in it.
2. Often times one can find a group of people on the Mall in front of
the Capitol playing soccer.
3. LEGO Soccer, particularly the LEGO soccer ball is an element that has
been present at every BrickFest in Washington since 2000.

Hey, thanks. I guess a bunch of us had figured that, I was just wondering if
there was something more insidious going on. ;) I really wish Lego had added
some sort of “minifigure handle or rod” hole on the ball thoa, so it could be
attached to something. But your gesture is still pretty funny.
