LEGO Spider-Man: Homecoming sets review

There are only two LEGO Super Heroes sets this summer, both from the Marvel Comics universe, and related to the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming film. We will look at both sets in detail below. 🙂

#76082 LEGO SUPER HEROES ATM HEIST BATTLE: This is a small set with a minimalist bank kiosk, and three minifigures. As you will see in the video-review below by JANGBRiCKS, the bank itself is not particularly well designed and the play-features don’t work that well either. The three minifigures however are excellent, with very detailed printing all over their bodies, and great looking masks.

Here is the official description of the set: Help Spider-Man to stop the masked robbers burglarizing the bank in this action-packed LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set. The bank opens out for easy play and features an exploding window function, a removable ATM, and an ATM with an explode function to send LEGO cash elements flying everywhere. The two robbers are equipped with a stud-shooting ATM Buster and a gun with hybrid-tech chain to drag the removable ATM away, plus a getaway bike. Attach and fire Spider-Man’s Power Blast weapons to take down the villains. Includes 3 minifigures: Spider-Man and 2 masked robbers. 185 pieces. Price: $19.99 – BUY HERE

#76083 LEGO SUPER HEROES BEWARE THE VULTURE: This set is twice as large both in piece-count and price, and is definitely more substantial and better designed. I really like the look and features of the van; sort of a combination between a van and a space shuttle. I could see having quite a bit of fun with it even outside of the Spider-Man story. The set comes with four excellent minifigures that you can see in the video-review below.

Here is the official description of the set: Team up with Spider-Man and Iron Man to catch up with The Shocker’s Van and tackle the Vulture’s attacks in this thrilling LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set. The Shocker’s Van opens up for easy play and includes a mounted, adjustable 6-stud rapid shooter, a buildable rifle and buildable tech egg, while Vulture’s wings have 2 detachable stud shooters. Includes 4 minifigures: Spider-Man, Vulture, Iron Man and The Shocker. 375 pieces. Price: $39.99 – BUY HERE

LEGO Super Heroes Spider-Man sets are pretty rare, so it’s nice to have two new sets at the same time. They are small, and don’t really offer much as far as displayability, but they do have some play-value, and LEGO went all out with the minifigures. I would say the bank is not really worth it for the set itself, but it is the cheapest way to get the new Spider-Man design. The larger set has better play-value and design, and you also get four excellent minifigs, including Spider-Man, and a unique Iron Man armor. Comparing the two sets, I would say that the second one is an overall better value, but of course you are free to pick your favorite. Both sets are available at the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes section of the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think? How do you like these two new LEGO Spider-Man: Homecoming sets? Are you looking forward to the movie? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below! 😉

If you are around kids, you have probably run across the current fidget spinner craze. Fidget spinners are small gadgets that you can spin between your fingers. They are advertised as a type of stress-relieving toy, although experts are divided on that claim. One benefit fidgets spinners definitely have is that it’s easy to make them, and thus coming up with different designs stimulate creativity. 🙂

Fidget spinners can be made of pretty much any solid material, as long as they have a spinning core. This of course means that they can also be made out of LEGO. YouTube is full of kids showing off their fidget spinners, including the ones they made out of LEGO pieces. Recently LEGO themselves also got on the fidget spinner mania, and they released a number of fidget spinner designs on their website, social-media pages, and YouTube channel. Below I have included LEGO’s own resources for making fidget spinners with full building instructions.

Making LEGO fidget spinners is very easy, but if you are just starting out, having step-by-step instructions can get you on the right track faster. A couple of LEGO fidget spinner designs can be downloaded from the LEGO Classic website. They use parts from the recently released #10706 LEGO Classic Blue Creativity Box and the #10707 LEGO Classic Red Creativity Box. Both of these are small, $5 sets that are easy to get, or you can just substitute parts and colors from your current LEGO selection. You can find the sets under the LEGO Classic section of the Online LEGO Shop, and you can download the instructions from the LEGO Classic website here: LEGO CLASSIC FIDGET SPINNERS

There are also instructions for three LEGO fidget spinner designs on the LEGO Technic website, using parts from the #42060 LEGO Technic Roadwork Truck. These spinners are more technical and spin faster, but are not as colorful as the LEGO Classic fidget spinners. You can find the set under the LEGO Technic section of the Online LEGO Shop, and you can download the instructions from the LEGO Technic website: LEGO TECHNIC FIDGET SPINNERS

In the video-player below, you can see in action both LEGO Classic fidget spinners, and the three LEGO Technic fidget spinners. The second video in the player includes yet another fidget spinner from LEGO’s YouTube channel. There is no demonstration for this spinner, but the video includes step-by-step building instructions.

I have also included a few more videos from LEGO fans with some really cool fidget spinner designs. Tyler from The Brick Show demonstrates how to build six different LEGO fidget spinners. And Astonishing Studios shares step-by-step instructions for two versions of their LEGO fidget spinner; one using real ball-bearings, and the other only LEGO pieces. You can watch all the above-mentioned videos in the player below.

There are many other LEGO fidget spinners you can find online, but these should help you in starting out. If you want more, YouTube is the best place to find other designs.

What do you think? Do you have any fidget spinners? Did you make any out of LEGO pieces, or are you planning to? Are there any other LEGO fidget spinner designs you really like? Or you think that the whole fidget spinner craze should just go away as soon as possible? Feel free to share your thoughts and own designs in the comment section below! 😉
