The LEGO 3560 set, otherwise known as the “NBA Collectors #4,” is part of the LEGO Sports series that was released in 2003, focusing specifically on basketball. This set celebrates the NBA by featuring three mini-figures of prominent basketball players from that era, with each mini-figure designed to resemble its real-life counterpart, complete with team jerseys and logos. Alongside the mini-figures, the set includes accessories such as basketballs and a small piece of court to enhance playability and display options.
LEGOs decision to produce NBA-themed sets was part of a broader strategy to capture the excitement of professional sports and engage basketball fans of all ages. The 3560 set, in particular, appealed to collectors and sports enthusiasts alike, allowing fans to own a piece of their favorite sport in LEGO form. While designed for play, many of these sets have become collectibles over time due to their specific association with NBA teams and players, as well as being part of a unique theme in LEGOs vast product range.
