Johnny1360 Posted July 17, 2018 Funny everybody is raving on how much they like this set, I see it and say crud more mechs two in one set none the less, I literally have an army of mechs and don't really want any more. I do understand there are people out there though that love mechs and just can't get enough of them and that's cool. Hopefully they are really good ones, since I will probably get this set anyway.

Well to be fair the Venom "mech" isn't really a mech. Its more like Venom in big symbiote form and as such it is more appealing. I agree that the Spider-Mech is a bit odd but for play purposes I do understand why they included it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueberryWaffles Posted July 17, 2018 Love the new set! Big Venom might be one of my favorite builds in the theme. Minifigures are great as well, really digging the updated Spider-Man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walter529a Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) I Think its actually Monster Venom, just a big version of him, as said above. Edited July 17, 2018 by Walter529a Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love the character and her inclusion in an official set, but the minifig could definitely use more printing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benderisgreat Posted July 17, 2018 Now that’s a cool set! Sure Spider mech looks horrible, but giant symbiot build is great! Minifigs wise 50/50 new Venom and Spidey, old (no pun intended) aunt May and then there’s Spider-Gwen. It seem they took her LMS2 version and kinda downgraded her with lack of arm and leg prints. But overall it’s a good looking set, but not for 50$, 40 at most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nexo Bricks Posted July 17, 2018 I really, really like this set. $50 for 600 or so pieces is a great deal! The December 1st release is also pretty smart as well. The new Spider-Man based off of his Into the Spider-Verse appearance is absolutely gorgeous, and I'm so glad we're getting another new variant for Spidey. The new Venom is a nice upgrade of the old one and certainly looks great. Aunt May is nice as always, and SPIDER GWEN!!! FINALLY! Spider-Man's mech is a little "meh" in my opinion considering we're getting a Batman one as well in the same time frame. I'll have to judge it in person, but I do like it's design and how it integrates the web pieces into the build. Monster Venom or his "mech" looks amazing. I love the look of it, I love the tentacles, I love how the head is built, I love it all. Can't wait to build that. I can probably see myself keeping the Monster Venom built while parting out the Spider-Man mech within the year or so. Gwen's hoverboard is nothing special. It looks nice, I guess. Lastly, I love the web pieces. They're so useful for display! I love that we're also getting web handcuffs as well, seeing that Spidey does that a lot in the comics. This makes me really hopeful for at least a few more comic sets this year. Daredevil may finally become a reality! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Savage Oppress Posted July 17, 2018 probably going to skip the set, Venom and Aunt May are just repeat minifigures from the earlier sets that they were in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aunt May has a new variant (not that anyone really cares, it's just a different torso), but Venom is completely different from his previous version Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fenghuang0296 Posted July 17, 2018 Something that I don't think anyone has noticed yet is that the press release makes note of a 'tech spider'. And if you squint at the stud shooter arm of Spidey's mech, you can see what to me looks like one of the Tech Critters from the last Nexo Knights wave. That's interesting. But this set looks awesome. People are calling out the Spider-Man Mech for being skimpy with details, but to me it just looks like they kept it smooth, so that it would be agile and manoeuvrable, like Spider-Man himself. And the giant Venom is pure, unadulterated awesomeness. I'm pretty sure that's just a repeated City torso with fleshie hands on Aunt May, but the Bridge Battle set a couple of years back was out of my budget at the time, so I won't protest the chance to get her. And Spider-Gwen/Ghost Spider seems to have come from the same place that the Wasp did, but I guess poorly detailed Spider-Gwen is better than no Spider-Gwen. Definitely getting this ASAP. If it really releases December, it'll be just in time for the Christmas sales. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vstat05 Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) That's probably the best Spider-Man figure since the Homecoming sets. Judging by the symbol and the faint blue in the eyes the costume is based on his all new all different appearance. Giant Venom is pretty cool, and the new Venom figure does look better than the last one. I also like what looks like web handcuffs.

THELEGOBATMAN Posted July 17, 2018 This set is Incredible! Spidey's Mech is a cool build, same as Gwen's hoverboard. Giant Venom is one of my "all-time favorite builds"! It's so perfect. I love it so much! But those minifigures! Finally a new Spider-Man. Dual-molding! Aunt May is alaways cool, Spider-Gwen is awesome! No foot printing like in Lego Marvel 2, but it's awesome. Venom is the best! FINALLY a new variant. Old one had awful face printing. This one is perfect. Price is great! For 604 pieces, I would guess a 60-70$ price. But it's 50$! It may be my favorite Marvel set. On side note: 76117 Batman Mech vs. Poison Ivy Mech. 76115 Spider-Man Mech vs. Venom Mech. So unoriginal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also like the new venom minifig, even though i’m not sure what version i like more. Spidergwen is a cool fig for all of her fans. I really love all the web pieces, and even web handcuffs? Spidey does that all the time in the comics, so yay for web handcuffs! The spideymech on heels is a bit too much for me. Also way to many stickers. I probably won’t build it. Too bad we get another Aunt May, i rather saw someone else thrown in I didn’t notice those were handcuffs! That’s awesome! Nice eye! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HyperOnion Posted July 17, 2018 Gonna sell the actual Spider-Mech, but giant Venom is awesome (and I say that as someone who doesn't like Venom), the new Spidey minifig looks great (awesome to get an upgraded comics based Spidey, was not expecting that at all), and I'm super jazzed to get Spider-Gwen (even if that custom has completely spoiled me). And then also an Aunt May, which... I don't need another of, but always good to get more civilians, and the last one was in a $100 set, so not mad to get her out there again. Awesome set overall, and I'm super excited we're getting a non-MCU wave! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpiderJazz Posted July 17, 2018 I dunno if this is already mentioned but the new Spider-man head is perfect for Iron-Spider MCU! Looking forward to that piece!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoldenNinja3000 Posted July 17, 2018 Venom’s torso is new as well, I saw a picture of the new and old side by side and there are some subtle differences. Also, I feel like Spider-Gwen couldn’t be improved unless they gave her arm printing and I guess they didn’t have room in the budget given the totally new Spider-Man and Venom figures as well as the new web pieces. I can’t tell what piece makes up the monster Venom’s head- is it new or just a constraction shoulder piece? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Range Trooper Posted July 17, 2018 6 hours ago, Mattallica said: this looks to be a cool set indeed, im thinking that the large venom is to be just that a "grown" version of the character and NOT a mech, notice the way the musculature is sculpted, the more organic feel of the tongue, claws and tendrils,and the minifig is not in any kind of cockpit. plus it makes much more sense character wise that spidey creates a large mech to battle a giant venom, instead of venom using a mech. is that a new part on the venom ankles? looks good Actually the official set description is up and says that the Venom mech DOES have a cockpit.

Hopefully more comicbased villains as well (proper green-yellow Electro) and maybe some different spider-man versions (symbiote spidey is now possible because of the new torso Venom has and the sdcc one would still be exclusive). Bring them on! Just now, Range Trooper said: Actually the official set description is up and says that the Venom mech DOES have a cockpit.
