Bring Back Lego Spiderman

I would love a spidey theme based on the comics.

I don't think so. Harry Potter was one of, if not the only licensed theme Lego ever brought/will bring back. Harry Potter is, of course, a huge cash cow, and (good) movies are still to come.

I personally saw Spiderman 3 as the worst movie of the year, and you know, let mega have it. The reviews were awful too, and kids just don't like it anymore. Lego can't make any money off of it.

Wait... Disney was brought back... but that's different.

Star Wars came out only a year or 2 at the most before HP and its still continued due to the sheer number of fans, characters, vehicles, etc (not to mention the new Clone Wars stuff...). I think TLC simply erred when it was trying to "protect we customers sensibilities when it comes to darkness and violence" (Wasn't that the reason, or something close to it, stated for dropping the sets after OooP? If I'm wrong, then please enlighten me...).

Spidey 3 was both good and bad, IMO. If they (Sony) had simply gotten a decent storyline out of the Sandman trying to save his daughter, (like Doc Ock and his brush w/ madness in the 2nd movie) instead of shoehorning the Venom character into it (and don't even get me started on the dancing... ), then Spidey 3 would have been much, much better...

I hope they do revamp the license. There could still be soooo much coolness in new Spidey Lego sets based on a movie.

I don't know all the ins-and-outs of licensing, but if Marvel was smart, they'd tie-in and new Spidey movie to the current Iron Man, Hulk, (coming) IM2, Thor, Cap, and Avengers movies.

Now, as far as Spidey Lego coming back, its def possible. Probable? Maybe not yet... But between Marvel, Lego and Disney - I really think the possibilities are endless and potentially very successful. I hope, the powers-that-be will at least explore the idea of new sets whether or not they are based on movies, or comic books, or even the newspaper strip!!

Sony has production rights to Spider-Man as long as they keep making movies. If they don't make films for x number of years (I don't know how many) then the rights revert back to Marvel. Same with the Fantastic Four at Fox. So those can't be licensed wholly by Marvel the way other characters can. Maybe in ten years or so, Marvel will have taken back control of all its licenses and have the freedom to easily work with Lego.

Well - here's a bit of news on a new Spidey... http://marvel.com/news/moviestories.11000...._for_spider-man I'm really hoping for a new and different villain for the flick. Much as Batman Begins used Scarecrow and Ra's, it would be fun to see Chameleon or the much anticipated (from the Raimi trio of films) Lizard. Maybe utilizing Doc Connors as the Lizard in an "opposites look" at the combination of human/ non-human science. The good that can come versus the bad effects if you will.

That out of the way, is anyone else trying to cobble together a Spider-Buggy from the instructions of Toy Story's RC?!
