We didn't have toys like that when I were a lad

I used to play with Lego when I was younger, but haven't been near the stuff for years. Honest! Back then, the cleverest stuff was Technic, so I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what a friend had bought for novelty value.

Lego 2 vs 2 basketball! You have to have a go to appreciate both how cool it is, and how cleverly it has been designed. The men have grooves near their feet to catch the ball, and by simply pushing them forwards they pick up the ball ready to throw. Pull back, aim, and fling it in the far basket.

Awesome. I want one.
