A detailed trophy replica
The standout release is a 1:1 scale LEGO replica of the iconic FIFA World Cup Trophy. Built from 2,842 pieces, the set features intricate detailing, including the official 2026 World Cup logo and an exclusive branded minifigure holding a miniature trophy. A printed plaque lists every World Cup winner since 1974, adding historical depth and collectability.

The exterior features six decorative panels, while inside, builders will discover a hidden mini stadium celebration scene—adding a playful surprise element to the display piece.
