Holy cow, she’s been abducted by aliens!
Nothing outright screams sports or sportswear, so uh, yeah, I guess someone was a bit confused naming these accessory packs in 1998.
*Girl not included
Todays random set of the day and random part of the day remind me of McDonalds happy meals where they always had some cool "boys" toy (like bionicle for example) and then the girls toy is like, "here's a lavender colored plastic mirror"
Of all the LEGO RSOTD sets I have enjoyed viewing these past several years, this must be, by far, the most un-LEGO set yet. I will sit patiently and wait for someone to share the even more odd set that I must have inevitably missed.
I imagine the sporty Scala girl is invisible?
Ginger SCALA girl was always my favorite, followed by baby SCALA girl.

Did you see "My Dad" (also known as "Christian With Gifts", 3220) from last year? https://brickset.com/article/57248/random-set-of-the-day-my-dad
Just our luck. The Rapture already happened and only the SCALA dolls were true believers.
A: it's very un-Lego like.
B: Geez, these are awful-looking clothes.
Where is the girl?
Alright, they've given us the Invisible Woman, where's the rest of the Fantastic Four?
I’d unironically make a Brickfilm with Scala/Belville figures if I was willing to spend money on them and damage the clothes (if not figures as a whole) in a fight scene. I already have an anime schoolgirl dress and kimono for dolls that could fit if the actual items are too valuable much of a commodity (I keep the former on a modified First Order Stormtrooper CCBS).
Lore?
I had no idea LEGO produced sets based on the rapture.
She’s a fast, sporty girl. Couldn’t catch her to put in the box.
Still at large: you have been warned.
@Zordboy:
If she is, she’s still not wearing any of the clothes in the picture. They’re all flat, and one of them is even still on a hanger. That’s not to say she’s necessarily unclothed, since some forms of invisibility physics extend outward from the subject to render anything they wear invisible like themselves.
Is that a yellow blanket in the bottom center? Also, what's the white thing/stuff in the bottom right?
I'm a SCALA Girl,
in a SCALA world,
Made of plastic--
it's fantastic!
Give me sporty clothes,
No one even knows
if they fit me,
I'll dance about invis'bly!
@PDelahanty:
It’s either one of those weird Scala plates that only attaches to bricks/plates/tiles in multiples of 2x2 configuration (no 1x, no x3, and absolutely no 1x3 or 1x5), or it’s her pile of ashes after she was vaporized by aliens, or after she touched a small white bunny with large black eyes.
This is actually what 3220 likes to wear when nobody is watching
First and only time Lego have dipped their toes into the Christian views of the Rapture…

NOT LEGO! Bionicle, maybe, but not this!
I wish Scala had more normal clothes, why are they almost all so weird...

That's harsh to Bionicle ;) which was all still in-system.
What did all of you expect, that they would sell a live girl along with the clothing?
How do you people buy clothing?
Do you people buy people to get free clothing?
Scala's creepiness strikes again!
We are going through a Barbie/Bratz/Monster High doll phase in my house at the moment so I really like these.
Odd name - one is a dance outfit (is dance counted as 'sport'? Isn't dance just dance?). The other just a nice top and trousers. So why it's called 'Sporty' I don't know. Maybe there was some Spice Girl confusion but Sporty Spice always wore trackies and not a ballet frock.
Anyone know the average price of these. One thing that annoys me about Barbie clothes is they are so expensive to buy (for such teeny tiny bits of material).
@PDelahanty: According to Bricklink's inventory page for this set, the yellow thing is a towel.

These are also perfectly acceptable for purist MOCs."
NGL I would love to see someone build a Matoran-sized constraction character to wear some of these clothes.

Where's the LORE?! I want to hear the incredibly detailed back story to that green crop top and it's epic struggle to overcome the evil tutu.
@magmafrost:
It probably requires a working knowledge of contemporary Danish teen/tween fashion.
@bookmum:
That depends on whether you’re trying to cheat your way into Title IX compliance in the US. Cheerleading was reclassified as a sport to balance things out, until the courts ruled that it really isn’t a sport after all. As for Barbie clothes, just like how you’re paying more for the packaging than the food it contains, you’re paying more for the cutting and stitching than the material they hold together. And the label. That’s often the most expensive part of any garment.
@TheOtherMike:
Hopefully not a Terrible one. I don’t want to see My Dad recreating scenes from This Is Us…

Dear lord, I legit LOL'ed at this... but now it's stuck in my head. It's a perfect Trojan horse - seemingly innocent at first, but once you've read it, your doomed to sing it forever. Sort of like certain older TV theme show tunes. (Green Acres, The Munsters, original Thomas and friends tune, etc...)
I wonder how Vidiyo will look 30 years in the future?

“This is the theme that predicted we’d all have animal heads and learn to play music. How did they know?”

"I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company..."
(If we're all gonna get together and play music / sing in thirty years, why not make it a classic song?)

"Where is the girl?"
After 24 years with same clothes: probably gone shopping to catch up with fashion
Are these parts actually printed, or are there stickers?
@Wrecknbuild:
The clothes? No. The cloth they’re made from? Well, that’s dyed, which is a very different process. Even solid colors need to be dyed, either after the cloth comes off the machine, or the thread it’s eventually made of. If you’re dying whole cloth, it’s a fairly simple switch to just dye it with a pattern vs having to injection mold parts in a specific color before sending them off to be pad-printed on a different machine.
