A rumor over at Eurobricks has surfaced regarding a special limited edition series of Collectable Minifigures dedicated to the German soccer (football) team in the same manner the Team GB back at the Olympics in 2012 series was done. Source

As frustrating as this whole matter is for non-German LEGO fans and investors, for Germans it is a nice gratification that was long overdue imo. They never ever got anthing exclusive to this date, while U.S. folks get limited convention sets all the time for years now. In Germany there has never even been a promo where you get a LEGO polybag with a newspaper (like in the UK). You never see the online store newsletter more than one week before the month begins. You only have 2 printed catalogs throughout the year instead of 4 in the U.S. As a German you hardly get the impression to be really "valued" as a customer in any way. So, now this is the first ever limited Germany-exclusive LEGO collectible - and it will probably stay the only one for decades to come. The demand is crazy and it was hard to get sealed boxes even if you knew what you were doing. But if you did put in the effort, you could still get a nice stash of sealed boxes in the end.

Mate, there is no other neglected land like the Land Down Under. We never get anything. Cry me a river

Will you trade a case for my handful of City helicopters and Nexo Knight's cycles I picked up last weekend?

Hmmm, I´m absolutely not sure whether there will be a second production run, or not. Here in Germany every store tells something different, and even the Lego SAH were quite unsatisfying, because 10 people will give you 10 completely different answers to your questions. 

Every big German retailer has no chance to make a new order for these minifigs - this means either that no further run will happen OR that a further run will happen but not today or tomorrow but in few weeks... (When we think about the EC they would have to harry up...)

And again sold out at S&H:

Sold out again.. Lets hope for good.

My 16 are apparently up for delivery today.  I'm guessing most others in UK are the same. 

Hope the ones my brother ordered get dispatched 

Called S&H now - she mentioned they will come back in few days or two weeks...

Can someone else call them to check this?

Maybe we can just leave the help alone and just wait and see?

Mine have just turned up at the office. With the parrot in its own box lol. 

Haven't opened them all but smooshed them and I've got one Low minifigure which seems to be on one of the rarer ones so I'm happy. 

They are not shown anymore on the toysrus website. Previously it was click & collect only.

It would surprise me if these thing do make a comeback. But then again, with Lego anything is possible.

I don't think randoms will add any value sealed unless you know they are Löw 

First 16 arrived, quick smoosh, x3 Löw

So just checked ebay, not one Löw listed? and when I search DFB I only get 54 results, am I missing something?

Dude, just opened my box and had the same! Has the packing slip in with only a parrot listed on it too. Thanks a bunch! Suppose I'll have to send off an email or something......

Then 54 results are very much indeed... 

I ordered a case from eBay, but the bullet with 10% ebay bucks back. I am splitting the three full sets with 2 other people, if any of them back out I will have a full set available and will also have the 12 extras that come in the case.
