LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Spider-Man’s Doc Ock Ambush (6873) Review

It’s been 8 years since the last Spider-Man set was released from LEGO for the Spider-Man 2 movie but in 2012, the wait is over. On July 23, the Spider-Man’s Doc Ock Ambush (6873) set was introduced. The set retails for $29.99 and consists of 295 pieces which is about $0.10/piece. There are three number bags, one instruction booklet, as well as comic book #5 in the Marvel Super Heroes series. The set is loosely based on the “Me Time” episode on the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon on Disney XD. One major difference between the set and the show is that Spider-Man was the one who was captured, not Iron Fist.

LEGO Pop-up Todai-ji and Daibutsu Model

A couple years ago, a Japanese builder who goes by Talapz, created a LEGO Pop-up Kinkaku-ji, a Temple of the Golden Pavilion, and posted it on YouTube, which has gained over a million views. He is back and has created another pop-up model, the Todai-ji including the Daibutsu (Eastern Great Temple with The Great Buddha). This model took Talapz 9 months to create and used around 8800 pieces. When folded together, it is approximately 96mm thick and about 48mm opened. If you want to create your own, he has also provided instructions at the end on how to make your own popup model.

LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes Batmobile (30161) Review

LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes Batmobile (30161)

The LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes Batmobile (30161) is now being sold at Target stores in the stocking stuffer section. The Batmobile was first given out for free in the UK’s Sun Newspaper earlier this year. FBTB reported it earlier today and I’ve happened to find a lot of them next to a bunch of LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 8 polybags. The Batmobile consists of 45 pieces and retails for $3.99 and has no minifigures. The car itself is a pretty nice mini version, much like the size of a Hot Wheels car. A nice little set for the cost of about a cup of coffee.

LEGO Castle Returns In 2013?

With only a few Kingdoms sets released in the last two years, fans of the Castle theme weren’t satisfied over the lack of medieval sets despite the release of the Lord of the Rings sets. The wait for new Castle sets may be over in 2013 because over on Brickshop.nl, they have listed 5 “new” Castle sets that have an expected release date of August 1, 2013. The same sets are also listed under the “Legends” category, which are sets that are re-released due to it being very popular many years after their initial run. There’s no details about the sets but there’s speculation that the upcoming Castle sets could be a re-release of the older sets or a release with updated pieces. This is definitely unexpected news and we’ll be waiting to hear more about them.
