Review for LEGO set 3548 Slam Dunk Trainer from Brickset
“This set comes with a cardboard with basketball net and audience picture on it, a blue baseplate, a basketball player (specially designed arms to hold ball, but normal legs). and a simple lever system which allows the player to dunk the ball. You have to flick the black,... More rounded edge as hard as you can in order to sink the ball.”
