Editorial Review

Snowboarding and LEGO wouldn't seem to be a natural fit. The former is dependent on smooth surfaces and fluid movements; the latter is built predominantly out of little bumps. But this 225-piece set arrives at some pretty interesting compromises. Following the detailed graphic instruction manual, assemble a large "half-pipe" snowboarding arena with naturalistic touches such as little trees. The two LEGO snowboarders, one dressed in black, the other in red, schuss along on the ends of longish LEGO rods that you hold. Sure, that's obviously not how real snowboarders do it but once you suspend the disbelief a little bit, it's actually pretty fun. Since this is LEGO, it's also compatible with other sets, meaning that you can attach any old LEGO pirates or spacemen to the boards and send them off for the ride of their lives. --Charlie Williams

It's all-out snowboard action! Includes stilted ramp, half pipe, and two snowboarders.

This review is from: LEGO Sports Snowboard Super Pipe (3585) (Toy)

I bought my 10 year old the Snowboard Boarder Cross Race last week for his birthday and he absolutely loves it! He plays with it every day -- he enjoyed putting it together and says it's amazing to play with! He was so excited that he took $... of his hard earned money (parking cars at football games) today to buy the new Snowboard Super Pipe. Unlike its counterpart, it does not work as advertised. This was a big surprise since most lego products are absolutely wonderful (fun to build and play with). It's impossible to get the snowboarders down without crashing or going over the edge. The Super Pipe is the worst lego (terrible "bang for our buck") we've ever purchased.
