The smallest set in the new LEGO Editions FIFA World Cup sets is the U.S. Soccer National Team Jersey (43033) and taking a quick look at it. It has 167 pieces and retails for $24.99.
Minifigures
There are two minifigures in the set, one wearing the U.S. team’s stripes kit and the other wearing the stars. The stripes kit is mostly white with the stripes having the colors of the U.S. flag. It has have the 26 on both sides of the jersey as well as on the shorts. Both the jersey and shorts also have the the Nike logo.
The stars kit is a darker blue color scheme with some red accents. You do have the metallic silver 26 jersey number and Nike logos on the jersey and shorts as well.
The minifigures have both male and female heads that you can switch out to your heart’s content.
Build
The frame is a 16×16 layout with the brick-built jersey right in the middle. The outer border is decorated with the red, white, and blue stripes and stars on the corners. The stars do use stickers. The U.S. National Team logo at the top as well as the U.S. Soccer sign on the bottom are printed tiles.
The brick-built jersey uses various slope pieces to the overall shape. The striped slope pieces used are printed and there’s space in the middle to put your favorite jersey number sticker on it.
At the back, there’s a stand you can use to display it on a desk or shelf. There’s also a hanger piece that you can hang on the wall as well.
Results
Overall the LEGO Editions U.S. Soccer National Team Jersey (43033) is just a mediocre set that is a little overpriced for what you get. The exclusive minifigures are the main draws along with some of the printed pieces. Other than that, the using stickers for the jersey numbers is actually a bad ides. One is that they’re not resuable and if you want to change the numbers up, you’ll most likely ruin the stickers. I felt that using printed numbers would’ve been better suited for this application.
