Introducing the LEGO® Ideas 21337 Table Football set submitted to our We Love Sports contest by Donát Fehérvári (aka Constructions by Donat on LEGO Ideas) in early 2021.
Uniquely, Donát blew away the competition with his creation which gained 1244 votes, more than double that of the next highest, therefore winning the Grand Prize of the contest. However, the LEGO Ideas Review Board loved it just as much as the crowd and decided to turn it into an official LEGO Ideas set.
The first to test the new fully functional table football, consisting of 2339 LEGO elements, were legendary football icon, and World Cup winner, Thierry Henry and current Manchester United and England star Marcus Rashford MBE – who take on each other with their team of minifigures in a new video. Each player can first build their five-a-side team of LEGO minifigures plus a crowd of teammates and fans that watch from the sides from over 60 different elements before competing in a match.
The LEGO Ideas Table Football set honours football players and fans from around the globe and features a diverse line-up of minifigures. In total, 22 different minifigures can be built to play or watch with a diverse range of hair styles, facial expressions and skin tones to choose from. The portable size of the set means it is perfect for transporting to play with friends and play ‘away’ or ‘at home’. It also makes an ideal display cabinet piece.
The Table Football set is available from the 1st of November via both LEGO Brand Retail shops and LEGO.com/shop. The recommended retail price is $249.99 – £241.99 – €249.99 (*EURO pricing varies by country. For regional prices please visit LEGO.com/shop).
Thierry Henry says: “Throughout my career I’ve played football everywhere you can imagine – from my garden to stadiums across the world and now in a LEGO Ideas Table Football set! LEGO play is all about harnessing the unifying spirit of sport to rebuild the game for fans everywhere. I am very excited to see the new LEGO set bring people together across the world as they master the table football game in brick form.”
Talking about the design, LEGO Model Designer Antica Bracanov said: “What makes the LEGO Ideas Table Football set so amazing is that it harnesses the spirit of sport. Donat’s design champions the shared rollercoaster of emotions that fans experience when watching football games. At the LEGO Group, we are incredibly proud to have brought this set to life, allowing fans to swap football boots for bricks, and be inspired take part in the game of play, for the love of play.”
