Editorial Review

LEGO NBA Challenge (3432) This is a real, functioning table-top basketball game made entirely out of LEGOs. The surprising thing is how well it works--you can stage your own 2-player tournament of little red men versus little blue men, or practice free throws solo. Here’s how it works: you make your men, who are mounted on a spring mechanism, and then shoot or pass by flicking the ball in the direction you want it to go. Each little ball player is mounted in a dimple on the court, allowing the ball to roll to him. There is also a defensive player at each end of the court who can be hoisted up and down with a lever to block shots. Not exactly a realistic simulation, but really fun nevertheless. It is quite a task to assemble the thing, but the text-free instructions allow for kids to do this themselves. If there is one downside, it’s that pieces tend to fall off with overly enthusiastic play, but, being LEGOs, they snap right back on. --David Stoesz

Me and my little brother bought this lego on one of the first days it came out. I was surprised at how much fun it is to play. You actually control the players and shoot the ball, it's like Lego Soccer but you catch the ball, not kick it. I recommend this to anybody who liked the soccer legos. The only problem is that since it is a lego and you build it, it is not the most durable of toys. All in all, I really enjoyed this toy, even though i may seem to "old" for it.

Ok
at first you think it is the best. if you don't have anyone to play with you, you get bored easily like me. I got it, built it, played for awhile and got bored. if you want to you can make the court nearly unbreakable. i really like it but i get bored easily. all in all i am happy i got it but i wish i had someone to play With in my family. do not think it is like other legos where they break easily b/c it doesnt break that easily as you may think it is.

PROS: fun to build, easy to play with, pretty durable

CONS: boring when you are by yourself,

I think this toy is great. It's awsome how the little guys with springs in their waist can shoot the ball. You can pass, shoot, and block. I think it's worth twenty-five$ It would be hard to build for someone under 10. It helps if you have built lego basketball toys before. I'm eleven and me and my almost sixteen brother had a little trouble building, but it wasn't that hard. I hope I'm not discouraging anybody who wants to by it.
