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

do you guys really think TLG ends the production so fast? it hasn't even been out for 2 month...

You have made a mistake, not 2 months, but 2 weeks. Official release was May, 14th. The last availability on S&H ended  four days ago... There are stil some rests at retailer shops...

Apparently. I did not believe it at first, but it seems to be the case.

I'm sure TLG will have taken notice of the popularity though. I wouldn't be suprised if we see a second series from a different country at some point. TLG has made deals with Adidas in the past, so I think national teams with Adidas shirts are more likely to get a set. Now that I think of it, that might be part of the reason why they picked Germany and not France.

that is so sad. do you guys think selling single pack of them still make $$ (instead of a set as it is pretty much impossible to get a complete set).

Depends on what you have obviously. If you have 5 Schurrle's and 3 Khedira's you are not going to make a lot of profit. How many do you have? I found that some people are willing to trade 2 common figures for a rare one. You could still get a complete set by trading.

Thankfully found some of these at the Berlin LEGO Store this morning, they had two almost full boxes

Grabbed my full allotment. With some luck I might be able to get a full set from these and the 16 that I ordered from LEGO Shop at Home UK. Spares shouldn't be too hard to move

You can get Displays on BL <450$

Okay got a full 60 box for 362 EUR with shipping. Was a tough decision but I would be killing myself if I did not jump.

Double RRP, ouch, you must have faith in the German side at the Euros

I don't think that the Euros result would influence its subsequent price in any substantial way. This will be a novelty item, just as the GB Olympics set is. Plus I am a collector, I just needed to tick the box to stop the itching. Missing out on stuff hurts.

good choice.

Difficult to forseen if the prices wil jump to above 400 during EC or not... For a long term 500 Euro could be possible...

Whats the "Display"?

I think he mean the display case.

I don't think the value of this will be affected should Germany not do well at the Euros, but I think it would skyrocket even more should they win it. Their popularity will be at an even higher level than now should they win it. 

Just like the French in 1998 and 2000, and Spain from 2008-2012

Lego should just make minifig squads of legendary teams. Doesn't have to be solely football

Can be like the Chicago Bulls 1996 Team

Or Football legends of the past Minifigures

How would they solve the issue of regular figures representing Muggsy Bogues as well as Manute Bol? Maybe they would have to use figures of all scales availabe:

Muggsy Bogues, Spudd Webb = Micro Figure
Nate Robinson, Chris Paul = New Baby Figure
Jordan, Pippen and everyone between 6'5'' and 7' = Regular Mini Figure
All 7-footers:= Hulk Maxifigure
