Spiderman Bland New Day.......

[icm]

The big buildable Spider-Man figure looks pretty good, but heck to the no for the price. That's not $100 of Lego. I can see $80 or $85 with Marvel tax, but $100? Nah.

[NXS7]

My stance on leg printing has always been that not every character needs it, especially when what's being adapted is basic or near plain. As example the new AoU Quicksilver has no leg printing, but his costume has such minor details that are almost unnoticeable, so it's easier to save that leg printing for someone else rather than do it out of necessity

My point being, how out of the entire LEGO Marvel minifigure archive, how has BOOMERANG been deemed worthy of leg printing, while not a single Black Panther figure has ever gotten it?

Minifigures look great. Hopefully they go the Mysterio route and we get comic versions of these characters in the near future (Boomerang’s head could easily be recycled).

Mysterio had the privilege of being the main villain. We never saw a comic Hydro Man after FFH. Hell, we're still waiting for Shocker. I don't really care much for Tarantula's movie design, but at least Boomerang looks close enough to blend in with comic figures

I don’t understand why they dedicated the largest price point of the entire wave to a buildable figure…

The DODC Prisoner Transport looks really good, although a Punisher minifigure would have made this absolutely perfect.

The ‘Epic Clash’ has a great minifigure lineup, but the choice of a drab grey building is insanely uninspiring. It’s a deliberate choice given the back of the building shows a paint roller on one of the floors, but as a toy this just looks thoroughly unimpressive. Hulk being able to break the building apart will be a fun play feature at least.

When I was a kid I always lamented the lack of grey brutalist lego playsets, glad to see I will finally be able to fill that void

everyone who freaked out about no dual-molded legs for Spider-Man can rest easy now lmao

Yeah, I think it was always pretty clear he'd get them.

Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but is that a new neck bracket piece for Scorpion?

It looks like the FO/Sith Jet Trooper jet pack piece in dark green.

As I've said before, a Punisher figure would have made me buy the set.

Yup.

 

I say this as a huge fan of the mini-modular system, but they went just too far with this one. I don't want them all to have bright vehicles or mechs in them, but a tiny bit of color would be helpful for kids- or in this case, just giving the building SOMETHING architecturally. As-is, it's a weird mix between a presumably accurate but very drab building (And if the DODC building doesn't look like this, I have NO idea why they chose to do it) and then making it look almost run-down with all the holes for clear stands and function bits for the explode features. We can completely change the tank's design, but we have to be accurate to a fault for the office building? The figures are the obvious standout. Boomerang, Tarantula, Scorpion, Hulk, and Spidey are all AWESOME. Now there's one coughing baby alongside those five hydrogen bombs, I have no idea why a random hot dog vendor is here. Even if you're re-using/kitbashing, why not MJ or Ned? It's a DODC building, why not a DODC guard or Tramel Tillman's character? The price is not too bad, at least. $90 isn't great but isn't anything egregious.

Really disappointed with the tank set. Already set up for it with the lack of Punisher or his van, but the tank isn't remotely accurate. Even aside from not being remotely the right color, it's being made up as a very generic SHIELD type vehicle rather than having the Inner Demons symbols and more mad-max look of the tank. (I do like that the figure selection gives you a scenario to play out. Even if it's probably non canon, the idea of spidey having to stop Tarantula from breaking Tombstone out of the transport is a fun play scenario). Figure selection is mostly fine- the included driver is nice, and it's great that we get Tombstone given I don't think he's shown up in any official promos yet. But the lack of Punisher really does hurt it. The price is also REALLY rough, and I think is going to hurt sales a lot- why spend $60 on this when you could spend $90 to get more interesting figures and a much bigger build?

I think folks are really 'glazing' these sets because we're getting new characters. I'm very excited to have them too, but aside from leg printing, which is honestly unnecessary for characters like Tombstone or Boomerang, they look really bad.

Boomerang is the best one, if only because he is nothing but prints. The Tarantula bandana is bad, the lack of a helmet for Scorpion is worse. Top it off with a DODC goon and a Hot Dog vendor of all things. The builds arent even worth mentioning, theyre laughable. I wouldnt care about these things but $90 for this is insane.

I really hope they follow up with another set featuring Punisher and whatever else is going on in the movie;  Daredevil, the Hand, Sadie Sink, etc... these sets are for a bricklink order, IMO.

That’s exactly it. Took me a second to recognise it was this and not a new mould for Scorpion. It’s a great part usage though I wish Scorpion could have had a new helmet mould.

And yeah. It’s funny how the same theme that has no hesitation making 1000 spider-vehicles and a monster truck for Hulk of all characters also draws the line when it comes to a generic grey building. Even if it’s somehow accurate to the film, it’s an example where LEGO should have put their own spin on at least adding some colour and architecture to it.

I see where you’re coming from. I think the figures are fine personally, but as movie tie-in sets in general this is one of the weaker Spider-Man waves we’ve had.

Ignoring the initial NWH wave because that was…bad (although that was not LEGO’s fault), but the BND sets are nowhere near as good as the Homecoming wave (which was good) and the Far from Home wave (which was spectacular). Even this year’s January Spidey sets are far better than the BND sets.

It’s not the worst thing though. The January sets were amazing and I’m sure the Doomsday sets will be great too.

I like the DODC Tank the best, and it's probably the only set I'll get for BND Rep on my shelf. The figures are good, and the tank looks good enough to display on a shelf. I do agree with @Mandalorianknight that it's odd that the color isn't accurate, but given how the OG color might be too "militaristic" for LEGO, I understand why they made it the color they did. It's not the first time a LEGO Marvel vehicle has the wrong color. I'm also glad it's $10 cheaper than the price that was reported. 

I thought the building set was gonna look better, but it is a VERY Bland looking set that is only carried by the minifigures (AKA you might as well call that set a $90 Minifigure pack). It's good that 2 of those minifigures (BND Spidey and Tarantula) come in a cheaper and better set. 

The Spidey buildable figure.... it looks Passable in some angles but it's ultimately a skip. 

So basically, the only set I will get is the DODC Tank

I don't know if it's quite that bad, but I would say there's definitely issues with them. The DODC officer I don't mind because she's actually fairly important for the play feature of driving the tank/transporting the prisoner. But there's no reason for the Hot Dog Vendor to be there over any other character they could kitbash (MJ, Ned, a DODC guy, Sadie Sink, a suspiciously Jon Bernthal looking civilian, a suspiciously Keith David looking civilian, etc)

Tarantula I agree wasn't handled very well, which makes his inclusion in both sets odd. You think they'd choose Scorpion as the one to include in both sets.

Agreed, but unfortunately I doubt Punisher's lack of inclusion isn't because lego didn't know about it. Which also makes Daredevil unlikely, unfortunately.

Yup- I'm sure the budget doesn't exactly work out this way, but I'd easily trade Boomering and Tarantula's leg prints for Scorpion's helmet. Though I think this is a case where lego simply didn't know it was coming.

But why just the entirely wrong type of color, I ask? Why not a bright light orange or something? 

[Clone OPatra]

That grey building looks like it's a construction/demolition site, not a functioning building. Surely that's the intention?

All of these look pretty weak with some decent figures. Definitely the weakest wave build-wise for a Spider-Man movie tie in.
