Olympic Minifigs: I didn't want to talk about it but ...

You had the info, hard to miss since yesterday: LEGO would release a mini-range of 9 mini-figures in bags representing the British athletes who will be present at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London next June. This exclusive series of minifigs would only be distributed in Great Britain.

The concern is that this information is based on a single visual that does not necessarily inspire confidence in everyone. The photo is bad, the presentation simplistic, everything is coated with a visual of a box and a bag on which these athletes appear strangely all with a gold medal around their neck ... In short, something to doubt.

But on Briket, many forumers advance the fact that they know British toy store managers who have received an email from LEGO offering to place their orders on this range. With this image as a presentation of what this range could be. LEGO has accustomed us to sometimes very simplified preliminary visuals, but this is still a lot.

Overall, opinions are divided. The more enthusiastic believe in it and can even try to bid on eBay on a seller's announcement (or a crook, the rest will tell) who indicates that he is selling his minifigs, but that it is a pre-order that will be available within a month ... The others are convinced that this is just a bad joke from a good Photoshop hack that has tricked the biggest blogs in the LEGOsphere. Eurobricks just changed the title of his news to something less affirmative ...

And you what do you think ?
