Nike Slam Dunk

"Nike Slam Dunk earns a Skip It verdict with a BrickScore of 50.9: despite an eye-catching 40cm profile and clever Easter eggs, critics from both Brickset and The Brothers Brick found the figure unposeable, covered in stickers, visually unfinished, and hard to justify at $69.99."

Nike Slam Dunk (43010) earns a BrickScore of 50.9 and a Skip It verdict, with two expert reviewers from Brickset and The Brothers Brick both calling it a flawed execution of an interesting concept. Critics score playability at 25 and value for money at 38, reflecting a set that neither plays well nor justifies its $69.99 price tag. Owner ratings are modest at 4.29 out of 5 across 34 ratings, lower than most comparable sets, and The Brothers Brick delivered one of the more pointed critical verdicts in recent memory for this collaboration.

Where they split: Brickset called it a cool display model and gave it 60 out of 100; The Brothers Brick scored it 42 and described it as whiffing. Owner ratings average 4.29 out of 5, which is low relative to most LEGO sets but still well above the critical consensus, likely because the 34-rating sample is dominated by gift-givers and basketball fans who value the theme over the build quality.
