![]() ![]() Besides Peter Parker and his superhero alter-ego, you're getting most of the Bugle staff, Spider-Verse allies like Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen, foes including Venom, and supporting players such as Aunt May. Even the Clone Saga's Scarlet Spider makes an appearance.īecause it features a wealth of Spider-Man minifigures as well (25, to be precise), this is hands-down one of the best Lego sets for fans of Marvel's webhead. This kit makes the most of that history.Īn enormous 32-inch tall building with more than 3,000 pieces to its name, the mammoth project is crammed with nods to all eras of webhead history - from ads for JJJ's recent 'Just the Facts' show to the infamous Spider Buggy. Jonah Jameson, it's been gracing comics since the 1960s. The home of New York City's favorite fictional publication and a certain Spidey-hating J.

But you're getting a lot of Lego goodness for your money here (including more Minifigures than most sets combined). ![]() Sure, there's no denying that it's expensive. The fact it can be displayed as a sprawling facade - allowing you to peek inside its many rooms and cubby-holes - or as a 'complete' building is another feather in its medieval cap. The Lion Knights' Castle is a throwback to classic kits from decades past, and it combines that nostalgia with modern advancements for the ultimate project… no matter whether you're new to Lego or a veteran of countless brick-based builds.ĭig out the herald trumpets, because this set deserves much fanfareĬrammed with hidden nooks and charming details (including a fun Easter egg for the 1978 'Yellow' Castle), this is the sort of project that's just as much fun to look at after it's finished as it is to build. If there's a Lego set that deserves a hero's welcome with herald's trumpets and pageantry, it's this one. It's sure to enchant any guests who see it, and is comfortably one of the best Lego Super Mario sets. ![]() That makes it a fun centerpiece and conversation starter as a result. ![]() This one also has moveable arms, eyes, head, and mouth to go with an ability to shoot 'fireball' rockets from its jaws. That makes it a whole lot taller and more detailed than its predecessor, leaving us with the most accurate take on the villain yet - right down to a display stand modeled after his iconic castle. Whereas the original Bowser wasn't much bigger than Lego Mario himself (and was similarly blocky), this alternative weighs in at a much more impressive 2,807 pieces. Yes, there is a much cheaper version of the King Koopa on offer… but in comparison to the new version, it feels like a bootleg knockoff. Y'know when your parents used to say "we don't need, we have one at home" and the 'one at home' is rubbish? Lego's Bowsers remind me of that. In other words? It's amongst the best Lego Star Wars sets, no questions asked. There's a swappable radar dish too, allowing the kit to represent either time-period. Han Solo and Chewbacca obviously lead the pack, but Princess Leia, C-3PO, Rey, Finn, and Han as he appeared in The Force Awakens are also included (yes, it's weird that Lando is nowhere to be seen). Actually, there are 11 characters to be found in total. You're getting minifigures from both the original trilogy and its sequels, too. That includes a realistic exterior mimicking the ship's cobbled-together nature, individual rooms full of furniture, a gunner's station, and even that holographic Dejarik game Chewie hates to lose at. Thanks to an impressive total of 7,500 bricks (which makes it a contender for biggest overall Lego set), it's much more intricate than the cheaper equivalent based on Rise of Skywalker. And yes, this kit is eye-wateringly expensive. Much more expensive than the standard versionĪs fans will know, being a Lego collector is punishing on the bank balance. ![]()
