Review 5014 Hockey Slammer

[Alasdair Ryan]

Today I was lucky to receive the 5014 hockey slammer set free with a Bricklink order I got through the post today,so I thought I would make a review of it.

Some basic details:

• Theme Sports
  
• Year released 2003
  
• Pieces 28
  
• RRP £0.78
  
• Packaging Polybag
  

The front of the bag is pretty boring as you would expect for a set this size.....

why is that player aiming for the other players face?

Back of the bag looks like this....

The back of the bag also shows you how to place the puck in-between the 'legs' of the players and what should happen if you press down the 'head',that is if you build it right.....

The parts.....

The parts sorted....

There is no really interesting parts here,but you could say that all the parts may help boost you collection of technic parts.

The instructions.

The back of the instructions.

I wounder if that red basketball player is really that bendy?

Half way through the build,for some reason I have chosen to build both players simultaneously....

And finished.....

Players from the back.

Spare parts,there should be another spare rubber band but I got a piece of hard plastic instead...

Ratings:

Parts 8/10

Build 6 /10

Playability 5/10

Overall 7/10

So to sum up it's a interesting set,it is not very expensive but does give you some good parts to add to your collection.

The build was as you can expect from a set this size not very interesting,just some parts stuck on top of each other.

personally I would not of bought it myself,I got it as a free give from a Bricklink order..... so I am not going to complain.

Decent review of an unusual set, but I think it's a glaring omission that you didn't mention how well its action feature works. That's what I'm personally most curious about.

But that would spoil the surprise if you get the set yourself.

It works good it fires straight ahead,but that's really all it does.

Good review, 'Alasdair Ryan'!

I remember this promotion at MickeyD's. Though I do not own any of this line, my friend owns some of it. They are really bland, but really, who complains for free LEGO (unless it's Galidor ). I think you might have rated it a bit too high, though.

I am a generous man.....

I have one of these, but with different colors. One figure is orange the other is black and white. I got them around 2005 with a Duracell battery promotion.
