LEGO 76175 Super Heroes Attack on the Spider Lair

Product Information

The accompanying video game screen displays Spider-Man swinging through New York City. Certain aspects of the design resemble the recent PlayStation 4 game, although not perfectly. Five varying Spider-Man suits appear beside the video game, including one which is enlarged and reminds me of the original Spider-Man minifigure from 2002. However, the most intriguing example is the Bombastic Bagman costume! LEGO components satisfy stringent industry standards to ensure they are consistent, compatible and connect and pull apart correctly every time – it's been that way since 1958. Apparently there are a few other Batman rogues with fairly regular appearances. I see ten minifig-based sets for Riddler, nine for Mr. Freeze, and eight for Catwoman. Even Poison Ivy ties Venom with seven. To add insult to injury, one of the monitors makes a reference to the Super Fantastic Four Costume (perhaps better known as The Bombastic Bagman), a disguise Peter Parker was forced to don after Reed Richards (or Mr. Fantastic) separated him from the alien symbiote, leaving him to swing home without a costume. A physical version of that outfit would have been a perfect addition here, and giving us our first and only Fantastic Four costume as part of a different character sounds exactly like the kind of frustrating thing the LEGO Group would do anyway.

LEGO® components satisfy stringent industry standards to ensure they are consistent, compatible and connect and pull apart correctly every time – it's been that way since 1958. Surrounding the lair are Spider-Man’s work tools, as well as a rather admittedly flimsy attempt at a stand for the Iron Spider’s spider arms. I’m not sure what the thought process was here for these stands, maybe so they can be laid down when not in use? It certainly feels cheap though. All LEGO® Marvel Spider-Man playsets are cool and collectible and give kids the chance to relive favorite superhero movie moments and create imaginative stories of their own.On the plus side, this figure has some interesting decor. It’s a striking costume design that carries over well into LEGO form. For children aged 3 and over there are also LEGO Friends. Join Aliya, Autumn, Leo, Zac, Nova, Paisley, Olly and Liann and explore new interests with exciting new expeditions! There's a variety of characters, playsets, and settings that inspire learning through imaginative role-playing. LEGO for the experienced builder… The price is absolutely disgusting and the only reason I got it is because (I had Birthday Vouchers and) the Stealth/Big Time Suit (no idea why they are calling it Ultimate Spider-Man) is my favourite Spider-Man costume of all time, so I am absolutely DELIGHTED to have this figure, and indeed a pretty good version at that. A little arm printing would have really set it off, but other than that it's perfect.

However, I appreciate the consistent design features which appear repeatedly throughout the model. Trans-yellow elements are ubiquitous and the prison cell reflects the costume displays, although that decision has compromised its size. There is ample space for a minifigure though and the differing modules can be reconfigured very easily, detaching from the base and linking together using clips. LEGO components are dropped, heated, crushed, twisted and analyzed to make sure they fulfill rigorous global safety standards.Superheroes frequently possess concealed lairs from which they operate, integrating enormous computer systems alongside cabinets for varied armours and costumes. Among these countless characters, Spider-Man is rarely associated with such elaborate sanctuaries. An ideal birthday, holiday or just-because gift for Marvel movie fans aged 8 and up who want to stand out from the crowd with the premier LEGO® set Spider-Man’s HQ. Spider-Man’s spectacular headquarters measure over 5 in. (14 cm) high, 16 in. (41 cm) long and 6 in. (17 cm) wide and combine easily with other LEGO® Marvel Spider-Man sets. The rest of the lair makes use of a standard “pod” build. The design is modular, and thus easily expandable if you wanted to create a bigger custom display. All LEGO Marvel Spider-Man playsets are cool and collectible and give kids the chance to relive favorite superhero movie moments and create imaginative stories of their own.

Massively juniorised (and again, I know sometimes people criticise this criticism because ultimately it is still a toy aimed at children, but larger sets can still appeal to children without becoming as dumbed down as this set). Young superheroes join Spider-Man playing games in his HQ. When 2 super villains force their way in, it's time for battle. Kids must use the amazing equipment and their own skills to save the day.Moving on to the middle of the lair, Spider-Man has his supercomputer where he can sit down and surf….the WEB. Even superheroes need to chill-out in their room sometimes. But only Spider-Man could have a room like this! With a computer, PlayStation, basketball hoop with ball shooter, skateboard with ramp, and a drinks area, it's the ultimate teenage den. But it's much more than that. It’s also the ultimate superhero headquarters, with Peter Parker´s camera, training equipment, motorbike, Iron Spider Suit, weapons and even its own jail – all of which come in very handy when the evil super villains Green Goblin and Venom force their way inside. The other figures are alright, obviously one new one but similarly to above, the printing isn't particularly good.
