Editorial Review

Do you need to work on those dribbling and passing skills? Soccer fans can practice anytime for the next World Cup with the LEGO Championship Challenge soccer game. Construct an entire football field, including goals and teams, with the 274 LEGO and LEGO-compatible pieces. Each side has five clean-cut players plus a mysteriously unshaven goalie. Each spring-action player stands on a separate 2.5-by-5-inch chunk of the field, and a paddle that projects from behind the goal controls the goalies. The complete field, including sideline advertising and goal areas, is about 20 inches by 11 inches--unless you choose to put together one of the wacky nonstandard fields instead. A detailed, illustrated instruction booklet is included. --Richard Farr

This lego has proved very popular with my son (aged 6) and all his playdates. It looks good and works well. However, the kit lacks an essential item - a tube of good glue. After playing for the first time, we needed to move the pitch, and there was no way to pick it up without it falling apart! I subsequently bought the Lego storage table to try and fit it onto something stable, but it doesn't fit properly and is way bigger than any of the bases we've been able to find. The solution was superglue, which of course prevents us from remodelling the traditional pitch into anything else....I would also take issue with Lego's policy of providing no spare bits whatsoever - except balls and elastic bands. There are quite a few little fiddly bits which tend to flip off (yes, even when glued in place), more specifically those that keep the net in place. A good goal and an agitated goalie could have you writing to Lego for spare parts while you spend the next few weeks crawling around to look for lost balls which get through the back of the net when the fiddly bits fall off....

My four year old received this for his birthday. Although he could not assemble it himself, once it was assembled he and my ten year old have really enjoyed playing with it. I assumed it would fall apart like many of the other Lego sets and be too frustrating for a four year old, but it stays together remarkably well.

2.0 out of 5 stars Worst Lego Design, November 16, 2000

My kids love Legos and we have so many but this one has no durability whatsoever. It fell apart a day after we got it and the parts have been sitting in the box ever since. It needs some type of support base with it to help hold the board together. My 10 year old could not put this set together and got extremely frustrated. What's the point if they have to wait for their parents to put it together.
