Editorial Review

You may never have the raw basketball ability to keep up with NBA All-Stars Shaquille O'Neal, Allen Iverson, or Tracy McGrady. Unless, as in this amusing LEGO set, each of those guys are just a couple inches high and attach easily to plastic pegs. Besides Shaq, AI, and T-Mac, other players included are Kobe Bryant, Jason Kidd, Antoine Walker, Steve Nash, Kevin Garnett, and a particularly weird-looking Dirk Nowitzki. The arena can be built with the assistance of a detailed instruction booklet and resembles a slightly flattened-out Velodrome. The neatest feature in this 481-piece set is a little round basketball that players can pick up between their hands and actually shoot by leaning back at their spring-loaded waists. Admittedly, it makes for an unorthodox shooting style, but that's never hurt players like Shaq in the past. Everything is compatible with other LEGO sets, which creates opportunity for interesting transference: let Antoine Walker mix it up with pirates, send Steve Nash into space. The choices are limited only by your imagination. --Charlie Williams

I bought the Lego NBA arena for my son. He is 10 years old,he loved it.I did use car model glue and glue the lego arena pieces together,so they wouldn't fall apart.He uses the lego guy pieces and pretend plays basketball.He has also used other legos and built a locker room and other rooms for the basketball lego players.I think this item is great for kids interested in basketball and legos.

My daughter is an absolute lego lover and when she saw the huge basketball arena she had to have it. It combined her love of building legos and her new love of basketball. I love seeing her put the set together. Great brain builder and fun shooting hoops at its completion.

I got this set for Christmas last year and I had a great time building it and playing with it. This set is rather large so be prepared to have a place to store it (I built it on a piece of plywood). I would also suggest building it on a hard surface.
