This was posted on NDSU's facebook page but thought I'd share it here.

Anyone notice anything interesting about the other college teams listed?

Just ignore that they have Craig Dahl in the current jersey and have his name on the back of his jersey......

It is technically legal. I'm sure they paid to use his likeness and they paid to use NDSU logos. It's kind of like when they used to make the NCAA Football video game and the cover player was a guy who had just gone into the NFL, so they could pay him, but in his college team's gear.

[Milkman]

Oh no I'm not commenting on the legality just the accuracy

If you look at the box it's called Campus Legends, it accurate as he is in the NFL, I would guessthey will make for all NFL guys to colloect? Tyrone, phil, etc..maybe

You had to bring that up...Thanks Ed O'Bannon.

At first I was like :facepalm: and then I was like :) :)

[Milkman]

Ha sorry I should be more clear. I'm weird about stuff like that. Like if they put Alan Page in a current Vikings jersey. Dahl never wore that jersey and definitely never had his name on the back. Stupid nitpick. It was meant as a joke. I really think these a pretty cool

I don't think I've bought something so fast in my life. My son was basically yelling at me to buy it. I usually tell him no but not this time.

[NDSUBowler]

I don't have kids but I want it anyways! Will look fun on my desk!

[gumby013]

I'm a Lego nut, so it pains me to see these are not authentic Lego. That being said, if it weren't for the fact that I am going to be away from home for pretty much the rest of the month, I would purchase several of these right now. I plan on it once I will be able to receive them.

[td577]

I bought one of the endzone kits. I am interested in seeing the quality of this set.

Hopefully it's at least in the middle. I gt an endzone and a Thundar. I'll put it on a shelf in my son's room or my office or something.

[BisonFanAnn]

I bought one (using a 15% off coupon code!). I plan to set it up near the TV on game days (at least those games for which I won't be in Fargo). And probably put them in my office the rest of the time.

Dude. Buy another set for your son to play with. My $.02

[tjbison]

im going to buy the NDSU set and the Gopher set, then hit up Toys r us for a Lego ambulance and put a few gophers in it

[MrSnuffleupagus]

Well....not so fast there:

i dont see them or any other listed as currently available on the OYO website?

[Bison 4 Life]

From what I see, they are an able compliment to legos. The lower body articulation is different than standard minifigs but they do work with current Lego sets.

That said, I didn't really get it to play with, it's not going into my kids Lego bin.

[MrSnuffleupagus]

Im just saying, they have made other FCS teams before. Maybe they stopped making them becuase they didn't sell? I dont know.

Either way, you slap a NDSU logo on ___insert anything___ and it will sell like crazy.

[SDbison]

I bought one (using a 15% off coupon code!). I plan to set it up near the TV on game days (at least those games for which I won't be in Fargo). And probably put them in my office the rest of the time. Is the 15% off coupon available at the purchase website or did you get it elsewhere?

[MrSnuffleupagus]

Their website. I was looking around at it last night. If you use PLAY15 you can get 15% off. However, that with shipping still makes it more expensive than if you just drive up the campus and buy it at the bookstore.

[Tatanka]

Assuming no markup at the bookstore ;)

Dammit, I was clearly in too much of a hurry.

[Milkman]

I will be anxiously waiting to see a bisonviller's recreation of the Fargodome. You know, minus the corner supports and with added luxury suites. Kidding not kidding

[Tatanka]

Free shipping on the site with $75+ order. Also, can get a NFL midfield set to go with the end zone sets for a full field...

However, no corrugated tin blocks to build an end zone wall so sorry grand forks.

Are garage doors available?

[Tatanka]

I'm guessing the SDSU set has one more brick in it according to the specs?

I'm also guessing the Illinois State set comes with a set of instructions which you don't actually have to follow as long as you're good at distributing bricks.

It comes just a few bricks short.

It comes with bricks from the FBS sets.

Bought my endzone kit through the online bookstore over lunch; no markup. Tax, yes. But ends up being cheaper to buy through the bookstore than online...and in my hands faster.

[gumby013]

NDSU also gets more money if you buy through the bookstore.

[Milkman]

You can purchase it online at the bookstore and use promo GOLDRUSH which gives you free shipping on orders over $50. I live just north of campus and I'm still gonna go this route.

[Tony Almeida]

Good stuff!

More good stuff!

Reps were added.

[StL Bison Fan]

Was in the bookstore today. They said to order on line. They do not have any there but 80 sets will arrive tomorrow and they will begin to fill orders. The have a lot of new stuff. Scheels shrunk. Bookstore grew.

[MrSnuffleupagus]

Umm no...the entire 1/2 of the back 1st floor is NDSU stuff now.

[tjbison]

yeah hate scheels or not but man do they have NDSU gear and collectibles.....i too was thinking they got a little bigger, and it usually increases during the FB season so im guessing after Labor day there will be lots of Tailgate supplies, new shirts ect

I think so as well, which hey...more power to them. NDSU fans most likely give Scheels 60% of the revenue in the fall.

[StL Bison Fan]

They moved the clothing to the side and have more women's than mens. For some reason the men are not buying clothes.i was in there today also and although they had lots of little things that are new- nothing that i wanted to buy. The bookstore had loads of new decals, string lights, pillows and cases, cookware and on and on...

Scheels also had number 11 jerseys and i heard they will also have 25

[Bison 4 Life]

So the set came today. A bit of a warning, some of the pieces are VERY, VERY small. The minifigs come in at least 9 pieces each.

[MrSnuffleupagus]

Got mine the other day; Banana for scale.

Also, if you get the endzone kit, it will have a little piece of paper with a code on it. You can redeem for one free college figure. Went to the website, entered the code, went to the NDSU section and added 'Thundar'. Save yourself $13.
http://i.imgur.com/IOVmrZf.jpg

[Bison 4 Life]

I ordered Thundar with it so I took Craig Dahl.

Those pictures are pretty good illustration. Each hand/arm is a completely separate piece. Not terribly good to put together with my 5 year old.

[MrSnuffleupagus]

Those pictures are pretty good illustration.

Minus the fact that for whatever reason imgur is hosting them as MEGA GIANT pictures. They are being weird today...whatever.

[Bison bison]

So do you always have a banana handy for comparison?

[Bison 4 Life]

I switched my minifig parts around a bit to be a little closer to life.

I made Chris Board (1) black, of course but this one has a beard, best I could do.

Jedre Cyr (30) is a good old farm boy so I gave him the more "tanned" look from a long Summer.

Grant Morgan (90) got the white head, he's from Oshkosh, not as many farmers out there from what I remember.

Would having these figures pose with a buffalo nickle be too passé?

Well shoot...now i need to do that.

oh man! someone has to do a stop motion of the whole nickname fiasco!

[Milkman]

Lego college students with offensive shirts and insensitive banners up north. Walks demonstrations and protests and protests of protests. A hockey team choking while fans can't move on......cut to the NDSU endzone(same layout that was painted at Frisco) And the players raising YET ANOTHER national championship trophy......cut back to a lego tin shed and an anonymous player with a blank green jersey holding up a buffalo nickel. fades to black and then in white text "Keep the change"

The price for the end zone set seems like a ripoff to me.

So I of course had to buy one for my 5 year old.

[Bison 4 Life]

So, it appears because of the massive demand for the Craig Dahl minifig, they need to delay my order and offered me a $10 coupon code.

Crowdsourcing my decision, should I go for the Superfan or generic 00? I kind of like the super fan but it seems corny.

I think it was on all NDSU stuff. I got the email this morning that my free Thundar miniature is delayed until 8/27 but upgraded to free expedited shipping and a $10 off coupon. So looks like ill be getting one more of them...damn their marketing schemes.

[Bison 4 Life]

I'm pretty sure that's what I paid for it.

Aw damn, they made a trainer cart. I hope my son doesn't see that, he wanted one when he saw the Vikings one.

[bisonp]

I saw the end zone and cart sets in Scheels last week. I didn't do any price comparisons though.

[thebootfitter]

My boy just got the end zone set from his awesome auntie and uncle for his fourth birthday. He loves 'em!

[yopaulie]

Pretty sure the price did go up, about a month ago, after the first posting in this thread. Too much Bisonviller demand pushing up the price! Got a set for my son's birthday this weekend, to be opened just prior to the game with the Whoiux!
