LEGO Brings Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappé and Vinícius Jr. Together for Its ‘Everyone Wants a Piece’ Campaign

LEGO is turning its World Cup Everyone wants a piece moment into a full athlete collab ecosystem. Moreover, they are putting Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappé, and Vinícius Jr. at the center of a new LEGO Editions football universe.

Four superstars, one brick stage

For the first time, LEGO brings Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, and Vini Jr. together in a single global campaign and product push. The campaign is built around the line Everyone wants a piece. In the hero film, the four stars are reimagined as minifigures competing over a brick built World Cup style trophy. This taps into both their on pitch rivalry and the idea that every fan wants a piece of football history.

LEGO Editions athlete sets

This is a line that turns cultural icons into detailed builds for older fans. New sets include minifigure scale tributes to each player. In addition, there are larger display builds such as a Messi model made from 958 elements with interchangeable poses and name plaques. These are designed as shelf pieces as much as toys.

A LEGO Editions FIFA World Cup Official Trophy set also anchors the drop. All four athletes are shown building it together in campaign imagery. This reinforces the everyone wants a piece tagline through the physical act of assembly.

#HonestlyItsNotAI as a brand stance

LEGO tags the spot #HonestlyItsNotAI to stress that the worlds, crowds, and players are built from real bricks and shot practically. That line doubles as a statement about process. In a marketing moment dominated by AI visuals, LEGO is staking its position on tangible craft, playful detail, and hands on creativity with real athletes.

Collabs across sport and sneakers

This World Cup work lands alongside LEGO’s deepening ties to sportswear, including the Nike Air Max 95 x LEGO Collection, which pairs a kids’ Air Max 95 Big Bubble with a 1,213 piece brick version of the sneaker. Together, these projects show how LEGO is using elite athletes and iconic footwear to reach older kids, teens, and collectors. These are people who sit at the intersection of football fandom, sneaker culture, and buildable design.
