LEGO Marvel Spider-Man – The Brick Post! https://www.thebrickpost.com LEGO® Related News, Reviews, and More! Thu, 05 Jan 2023 10:05:46 +0000 en-GB hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 https://www.thebrickpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/TBP_Logo_Black_Fav-100x100.png LEGO Marvel Spider-Man – The Brick Post! https://www.thebrickpost.com 32 32 LEGO Marvel Spider-Man Magazine Issue 2 – Out Now! https://www.thebrickpost.com/reviews/lego-marvel-spider-man-magazine-issue-2-out-now/ https://www.thebrickpost.com/reviews/lego-marvel-spider-man-magazine-issue-2-out-now/#respond Thu, 05 Jan 2023 09:30:16 +0000 https://www.thebrickpost.com/?p=23925 The latest issue (2) of the new LEGO Spider-Man Magazine is here and with it an amazing Minifigure!

The magazine itself follows suit with all its predecessors, with a ton of puzzles and activities, such as dice based games and mazes. These are great fun for the intended younger fans, offering up a fun yet somewhat educational experience.

 

A fun addition to this magazine, and others in the LEGO family, are the comic book stories, usually centred around the character that comes bundled to the front cover. Obviously Spider-Man is going to be the main guy and rightly so, it’s his magazine after all. But the story usually centres on the character that comes with the issue, in this case its Carnage.

What I particularly like most about the comics is the art, there are some truly astounding set pieces to see and bring alive when reading the captivating storylines. The one pictured below really caught my attention, I’m a sucker for bright colours and cool Superheroes.

It even tells you all about the many Spider-Man varients, including where they live and what they like to do, kind of like a basic encyclopedia. The many powers they possess are listed too, from wallcrawling and swinging to Spidey-sense.

What I like most about these Magazines as an AFOL, after the Minifigure of course, is the double sided poster. The art work is usually stunning and well worth keeping. My plan is to one day have a LEGO room where I can showcase some of them, which I now haveany of, probably 10s if not 100s!


The main draw for the magazine is the included Minifigure, which is Carnage

The design and printing is done to the high standard we all know and love from LEGO, it even comes with leg prints.

If you like Carnage and don’t yet have this Minifigure then grab this issue now, it’s a must get. The characternisnt as well known as Spider-Man but don’t let that put you off, he is a villain not to be messed with, especially with his tentacle-like appendages.


Thank you for reading this LEGO Spider-Man Magazine Issue 2 rundown, we hope you manage to find one in your local Newsagent or Supermarket. Unfortunately these Magazines are still not available in the US and other regions, currently UK and Europe are the only places lucky enough to get them.


If you’ve made it this far here is a sneaky peek at the Minifigure available in Issue 3.

Review: LEGO Spider-Man Magazine Issue 1 https://www.thebrickpost.com/reviews/review-lego-spider-man-magazine-issue-1/ https://www.thebrickpost.com/reviews/review-lego-spider-man-magazine-issue-1/#respond Wed, 14 Sep 2022 19:04:31 +0000 https://www.thebrickpost.com/?p=21357 This week marks the release of LEGO Spider-Man’s very own magazine, filled with puzzles, activities, and a very cool Minifigure!

This isn’t the first, second, or even third, time we’ve had Spider-Man appear in a LEGO magazine, so sadly there is nothing exclusive to report, but it’s the future that holds all the excitement. What will this run of magazines offer us over the coming months/years?

Theany powers he possesses are listed in the adjacent page, from wallcrawling and swinging to his iconic Spidey-sense. Spider-Man has also done some research on Venom and included what he’s dug up so far.

The main draw for the magazine is the included Minifigure, which is of, yep you guessed it, Spider-Man.

We can’t see to get away from this friendly neighbourhood superhero, as we add yet another one to the collection. Sadly he’s not exclusive to the magazine and if you were lucky enough to pickup a resent Spider-Man set you’ll most likely have him already, as he comes in several.

The design and printing is done to the high standard we all know and love from LEGO, it even comes with arm prints.

If you like Spider-Man and don’t have this Minifigure then grab this issue now, it’s a must get!

Review: LEGO Marvel Spider-Man at the Sanctum Workshop 76185 https://www.thebrickpost.com/reviews/review-lego-marvel-spider-man-at-the-sanctum-workshop-76185/ https://www.thebrickpost.com/reviews/review-lego-marvel-spider-man-at-the-sanctum-workshop-76185/#respond Tue, 04 Jan 2022 08:36:09 +0000 https://www.thebrickpost.com/?p=15445 As fans of LEGO Marvel, and Marvel in general, we couldn’t resist this new set that is based on the recently released Spider-Man No Way Home movie.

The set features a small area of a Workshop inside Dr Stranges’ Sanctum. I have yet to see the movie and don’t fully understand the location or many of its details, but once I’ve seen it I’m sure it’ll open it up even further so I can appreciate it more.

The LEGO set up for review today is LEGO Marvel Spider-Man at the Sanctum Workshop (76185), so let’s jump into it!


The Box:

Over the Years the box art has gotten progressively better and now includes a lot of background details along with the set in question on display. The Marvel sets have always been a joy to look at and this one’s no different. We see an action scene where Spider-Man and the gang are battling a creature that has somehow got into the Sanctum Workshop.

On the reverse we see an Alien free scene where the gang are going about their daily chores. I really like see the rigid Cape piece holding the drill, I may have to recreate that photo at some point.

The instruction manual is what we usually get from LEGO, a small-ish in size booklet that shows 2 or 3 LEGO pieces per stage, nothing too taxing at all.

It also highlights that you can digitally access the instructions via their online portal, great for gadget fans or for those of you that prefer a screen to flick through.

There are 3 numbered bags which makeup the set and as always these are broken down at the start of the manual to tell you which bags make which part. I always take a quick look at this section to give me a basic understanding of what to expect.


The Build:

I’ll start off by saying that the build itself is quite small in terms of pieces used, the overall area covered though is quite substantial and does take up quite a fair bit of room.

The workshop consists of 355 pieces and most of these are either dark grey plates and slopes or masonry bricks. OK there are other parts included obviously such as the accessories, but the set does seem very limited when looking at it.

This may have gone down better as a proper room-set similar to LEGO Bro Thor’s New Asgard (76200). For the cost (£34.99) it could have easily been a bit bigger and still be enclosed, adding to the inadvertent vignette style of sets.

Having the centre of the set open and presumably representing a portal to another World or area, is a really cool idea and does work well, especially having part of the set built behind it. Now having seen the movie yet I can’t comment on if it lines up and matches what’s on the big screen.

The parts I personally like the most in many LEGO sets are the furniture and how LEGO implement different techniques every time they produce bookcases and desks etc. There are both included in this set and they look beautifully design and made, with the bookshelf being my favourite. The added accessories really make these furniture pieces truly come alive and give them the details they need to resemble what they are.

Being a Workshop the set really needed to have some sort of work bench, and we weren’t disappointed. Not only that but a full selection of tools were included too, from wrenches and screwdrivers to oil can and cordless drill!

Matching desk and drawers are a must too and I must say they look good together, the colour scheme really works well. The other desk, which the computer sits on, is basic but does the trick. On the screen you’ll see a few open tabs with the front one featuring Peter Parkers face and the title ‘Who?’.

As always the design team have done an incredible job with the stickers and prints, which there are quite a few of, especially around the portal/window. Each of the tiles have a stickered pattern that runs around the outside and acts like a frame. Although there are quite a few of the same pattern I think they’re needed and finishes off the decor nicely, without them the frame would look to stark and out of place.

There is a side build included but I have no idea what it is and why it’s included. The construction of irlt is nice with the use of ball joints etc but the premise of it eludes me sadly. In my opinion they could have left it out and reduced the price of the set. Although saying that it may have some relevance to the movies storyline and be quite important. Either way this could, and should, have been left out.

Other LEGO parts to note are the Hour Glass and Candelabra elements, among others, as they’re relatively new and rare. Again the details make this set what it is and takes it to the next level, oh and the Minifigures are fantastic too!


The Minifigures:

There are four Minifigures included in this set and they’re all quite sought-after with one in particular containing a very smart looking Cape, that’s right Dr Strange comes complete with a fully moulded cape piece!

Starting with Dr Strange and his amazing torso and leg printing. The design is spot on and looks absolutely stunning, I maybe a little bias as Dr Strange is one of my favourite Marvel Superheroes.

Without belittling the set one of the main reasons to nab this is for the moulded Cape piece, as it now only comes in two sets, this one and the recently released LEGO Marvel Gargantos Showdown (76239).

It’s such a nice piece to have and as the box highlights has a multitude of uses, as a Cape and as an independent being that can help Dr Strange with his chores. Some of the LEGO tools fit into the capes neck grip which is a very nice touch.

Wong is also a great Minifigure to include in the set and is often present when Dr Strange is around, well at least for a scene or two, as seen in the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer.

I’ve yet to have Wong in my collection and I’m truly giddy at the though of having him join the ranks of my small but growing Marvel Minifigure collection.

Again he doesn’t have any arm printing but the torso and legs more than make up for it. With a jam-packed design the prints look crisp and detailed right down to his gold rope belt and yellow puffer jacket.

Sadly he only has the one face print, which is fine as a second expression isn’t really needed for this particular Minifigure.

MJ is on par with Wong and although doesn’t add much to the set overall it’s definitely a nice addition, and I won’t grumble at another Minifigure.

Thankfully the Minifigure has two face prints although there isn’t much difference between them. One is a slight smirk while the other is a more inquisitive expression.

The legs are plain with no additional print where as the torso features a chequered shirt/jacket that could easily be used for bith Female and Male Minifigures.

Spider-Man is definitely where it’s at with this set and has to be one of the greatest Minifigures we’ve had for a while in terms of Spideys. Not only is it different from the others but it’s his latest suit in the movie franchise and one that I personally think is very cool indeed!

Complete with dark greys and Gold accents the design looks spot on and accurate to the movie, well the trailer at least. LEGO certainly has a way with creating crisp lines for its Spider-Man Minifigures and this one is by far the nicest.

Dual moulded legs are pretty much the icing on the cake and add that extra something to the overall look and feel of the character and Minifigure. LEGO have really put done themselves here, and I love it!


The Conclusion:

Overall the set is great and worth the current RRP of £34.99.

Although the build itself does let it down somewhat the accessories, nice selection of parts, and furniture helps to make this set decent.

But with so many other LEGO sets the real value and attraction comes from the Minifigures and having four very well designed and executed characters in this set makes it a must have.

After watching Spider-Man: No Way Home in theaters I may appreciate this set a while lot more and find hidden meaning to the build and its details.

LEGO Marvel Spider-Man VIP Print Revealed! https://www.thebrickpost.com/news/lego-marvel-spider-man-vip-print-revealed/ https://www.thebrickpost.com/news/lego-marvel-spider-man-vip-print-revealed/#respond Sat, 04 Sep 2021 13:29:16 +0000 https://www.thebrickpost.com/?p=13122 A couple of Years ago LEGO offered a range of VIP only Marvel Prints, which were available in the Rewards area, some still occasionally reappear every now and then.

We can now share with you another print that could be coming our way and it features the LEGO Daily Bugle and Spider-Man!

The print has appeared as a ‘Free Item’ on LEGO.com, which means it could be a future VIP offer or GWP, although the GWP option wouldn’t necessarily make sense as the LEGO Daily Bugle Set has been out for a while now.

You may recognise the artwork as it was used to promote the release of the above mentioned set.

When more details surface and what it takes to bag one we’ll let you know as soon as possible, watch this space!
