I genuinely thought this was Jambos fans hitching on the back of the Hampden Exuberance Hibs Lego that was doing the rounds yesterday. Is the Hibs one in fact hit hitching onto this embarrassment? I’m gobsmacked here. It is most definitely a thing It's an Aberdeen company so most of their Football Lego has been Aberdeen FC related http://printabrick.co.uk/squad-afc-printabrick-puzzle-bricks-157-p.asp Obviously no small company is going to risk doing business with Rangers at the moment, but there's Lego set coming for Celtic and Hibs fans soon.,I assume the former will be Lisbon themed and the Hibs one will be 2016 themed If you think there's a market for a Lego 1971 Partick Thistle League Cup Parade bus (and we're approaching the 50th anniversary) then you'll need to get in touch with them.

Hibs and Celtic aren't exactly endorsing it though, are they? Also, the Aberdeen thing is being sold for £10 by the company itself. Aberdeen haven't bought the stock from the company and attempted to shelf it off to their fans for 8x the price. Only an extremely shady club would do that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 It says ours was genuine Lego. And there’s no price. I can’t imagine Milne would charge much for a cheap insubstantial construction kit. That would be out of character. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing is beyond embarrassing. Scary thing is it looks like they may have sold 350 of the 500 already. Nice wee earner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge we didn’t do an open top bus parade so any authentic re-creation would have to be the players holding the cup out the skylight of a single decker. [emoji23]That aside, such trinkets might attract interest among fans if they were a tenner or so, although I wouldn’t bother with one myself. What on earth makes this effort worth 80 quid? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambie's Doocot or Dennis McQuade and his three wheeled car maybe? Having taken my nephew to a Lego Fair I've seen quite how hardcore grownup Lego nerds are about their hobby so I suspect that at least some of the uptake will be from Lego Fans with an interest in football as opposed to football fans with an interest in Lego 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the Aberdeen set used Genuine Lego Bricks, I don't know whether they were able to source official Maroon bricks for this project. Serious builders seem to be into custom bricks from 3rd party suppliers, or even 3D printing them at home. A bit like boy racers with their custom car parts only less likely to kill themselves or other road users in a blazing ball of twisted steel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclizine Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I was going to say Uncle Roy getting up on a stage in a gazebo on the away terrace at Victoria Park, to play guitar with Torridon. But actually that was awesome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dindeleux Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Hibs are following the Hearts trend by bringing out a toy representation of their 2016 Scottish Cup victory.They are selling it for a far more reasonable price though. RRP not confirmed but expected to be somewhere between £16.90 and £19.02. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
