LEGO Shoot N' Score (3401)

LEGO Shoot N' Score (3401)

What do you get when you cross the games of Foosball, Tiddlywinks, and Quarters with one of the world's most popular building toys? That'd probably have to be the Shoot n' Score kit from LEGO. Unlike most LEGO sets--even their own popular soccer-theme series of components--the Shoot n' Score is more game than interlocking block kit. The 22 pieces assemble quickly to offer a choice of football scoring games for multiple or solitary play. A simple, yet ingenious, mechanism allows players to shoot the mini soccer ball either through numbered windows or against a goalie-on-a-stick controlled by another player. The whole set, recommended for ages 6 to 16 years, piles into the plastic goal net box, which clips to your belt. We can hear the cheers now: "LEGOoooaaal!" --Tony Mason
