    It’s not my intent to put down any builder and these helmets are certainly cool builds but I have to imagine this is the smallest demographic that can be appealed to for LEGO. I’ve seen folks at Lego Conventions with football apparel on but I don’t picture anyone sitting in their build room with the game on.

    Although I agree that this is a limited market and an odd crossover considering they only made the one football figure so far, I must inform you that I am that person who sits in his building room and watches the game while building. It is a perfect match because of all the commercial breaks and replays, there is plenty of time for both activities at the same time. Soccer or hockey are much more difficult to watch while building. ; )
