SUMMARY:
This Marvel set was released in the Spring wave of LEGO sets in 2019. The set contains 471 pieces, four mini-figures, and an instruction booklet. It’s recommended for ages 7+
REVIEW:
Starting with the mini-figures, this one comes with Peter Parker, Mary Jane, Mysterio, and Hydro-Man. While he’s not Spider-Man, Peter Parker has a pretty generic look beyond an open jacket revealing his Spider-Man suit. He wears a cap that acts as a pulled-up version of his mask. For Mary Jane, her exclusive piece is her head, which looks on point — with two faces to choose from.
Mysterio is the most common, but he is also the most detailed figure of them. Specifically, it’s the amazing printing on the torso, legs, and feet. His cape is the newer fabric material, and his bowl piece is removable, leaving a silver head. Hydro-Man is actually a great figure, too, with a mix of different blues to imagine that he is living water. He also comes with a brick-built base that he can just stand in to make it look as if he is riding a wave. Overall, these are great figures, with Peter, MJ, and Hydro-Man all being exclusive to this set and coming with exclusive pieces.
As for the main build, it’s littered with detail and play features to appease both older and younger builders. Starting with the bridge, it is a study design with a great look and holes to pop Spidey’s webs into. Under the bridge is space to fit a black gondola, which comes with an oar. The boat has lots of space to move, and both the bridge and gondola don’t feel crammed.
As for the other section of this build, there are more holes to put webs into. The tower uses great build techniques, but it doesn’t have any real play features. There is also a coffee shop, which can be accessed from the side of the build. Inside there is a basic interior to accommodate a mini-figure and a coffee dispenser. There’s not lots of space to play, but it’s a nice touch. The table and chairs have a lever off to the side that can be pushed to send someone overboard!
For LEGO Spider-Man fans, this package works as a playset and for display purposes.
