Today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO Marvel set 76309 Spider-Man vs. Venom Muscle Car, a box of 254 pieces available via the official online store since January 1, 2025 at the public price of €29,99.

Once again, LEGO tries to put a superhero who doesn't really need one behind the wheel of a vehicle in his image. Here it's Venom's turn to do it with a Muscle car rather successful with an aggressive look and which can even appropriate the tentacles of its owner to obtain an even more devastating look.

The vehicle is convincing with a rendering that finds its balance between what the Speed ​​Champions and Marvel ranges usually offer. It's cartoony without overdoing it with a very decent finish and Venom can even sit behind the wheel with his back accessory, once rid of his tentacles.

Two Stud Shooters are installed on the bodywork but they can be easily removed if they bother you. The hood with the Venom image is pad printed, there are no stickers in this box. This hood can be easily replaced by a neutral version of the very common part that is used here, you get on arrival a Muscle car generic black that can wander around your city dioramas.

LEGO provides us with a trunk that can be attached to the car in break-in mode seen in Fast & Furious, a few ingots and that's it. It's a bit meager for €30, knowing that the minifigs only partially save the day.

The Spider-Man figure is the one seen in a good fifteen boxes of the Marvel range since 2021, the Venom figure has existed in this form since 2019 and there is only Spider-Woman in the Julia Carpenter version to be completely new here. The minifig is successful, I would just have taken the opportunity to give him arms in two shades to symbolize the white sleeves of his costume.

But that's already very good, we're not going to complain about having the right to a truly new figurine rather than yet another variant of a character already seen too much in the past.
As is often the case, the white areas of Venom and Spider-Woman appear a little gray against the black background of the pieces that feature the pad printing, and the official visuals were once again a little too optimistic.

It should be noted that the title of the set does not even mention Spider-Woman; LEGO judged that this character was not well-known enough to attract customers.

Upon arrival, I find this unpretentious little set rather convincing, knowing that you can obviously find it cheaper elsewhere than at LEGO. It is in the soft underbelly of the range's price range and it offers three figurines associated with a vehicle with a look that seems perfectly acceptable to me. Children love cars, this one will definitely please them with its aggressive look and its attributes perfectly symbolizing its owner. No question of spending €30 for this, but at less than €25, it's worth a try.

Today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO Marvel set 76314 Captain America: Civil War Battle, a box of 736 pieces available via the official online store since January 1, 2025 at the public price of €99,99.

The topic covered here: the airport battle seen in the film Captain America: Civil War released in theaters in 2016. This is not the first time that LEGO has dealt with the thing, the sets 76051 Super Hero Airport Battle et 76067 Tanker Truck Takedown marketed in 2016 then allowed you to have fun reproducing this battle with a fairly decent overall playset.

LEGO continues to explore the subject by offering a new interpretation of this event this year, in the form of a product that is somewhere between a playset and an exhibition model.

One might indeed wonder what LEGO is trying to offer here and who this product is aimed at. At first glance, and because we get a board with several slots allowing us to stage the characters provided, a Quinjet equipped with Stud Shooters as well as a feature that causes two oil barrels to eject, we can imagine that LEGO is targeting the clientele of young fans of the Marvel universe.

Looking more closely, we quickly realize that there is nothing here to really have fun with other than the characters provided and the whole thing looks like a simple exhibition diorama for adult fans who do not want to be cluttered with the classic playset which would take up too much space on their shelves. Why not, there was undoubtedly material to return to the events concerned by offering the ultimate and definitive staging which would allow fans to move on to something else.

The result is a ersatz playset that seeks to appeal to a wide audience and which, in my opinion, completely misses its objectives. The game board is incredibly sad, there is no airport to be seen, not even a credible piece of hangar, the big Ant-Man figurine struggles to do better than the version in the set 76256 Ant-Man Construction Figure whose format and appearance it takes up with a few details and there is hardly anything but the (too) small Quinjet which finds vague favor in my eyes in this box despite a reduction in volume which makes it almost anecdotal. I also prefer the version on the same scale seen in the set 76269 Avengers Tower.

The minifigure offering is quite comprehensive, even if it's far from exhaustive, with Captain America, Winter Soldier, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Black Widow, and Black Panther. For €100, LEGO could have still gone all the way with the missing characters, such as Vision, Hawkeye, and War Machine.

Of the eight characters included, only two are new: Iron Man in Mark 46 version and Winter Soldier. The latter could have benefited from a pad-printed arm, but LEGO decided that it was not necessary. Iron Man's MK 46 armor has already been treated by LEGO in the set 76051 Super Hero Airport Battle, this new variant available for the moment only in this box will undoubtedly please the most complete collectors.

For the rest, the six other characters use elements already available elsewhere: Black Panther is also delivered this year identically in the set 76310 Iron Man Car & Black Panther vs. Red Hulk, the Falcon minifig is the one from the sets 76269 Avengers Tower (2023) with here a new interpretation of the wings.

Captain America's torso and Scarlet Witch's torso have been available since 2021, Spider-Man's torso is the one seen in the set 76218 Sanctum Sanctorum, the Black Widow one is also in the set 76313 Marvel Logo & Minifigures.

Many of these elements reused here will also be present in the set 76323 Avengers: Endgame Final Battle planned for May 1, 2025, a box which also tries to be the ultimate diorama on a specific subject but which also misses its point.

If we're being lenient, this is a bit of a sloppy summary of what Marvel fans would like to see on their shelves without chasing minifigs into different boxes. I understand the idea, but I think it's poorly executed.

The large Ant-Man figurine gives a bit of volume to the whole but we get lost in terms of scale with a mini Quinjet which is no longer consistent with the majority of characters delivered here in minifig format. The display tray is too compact and stingy with decorations, it becomes visually too confusing when the characters are staged there and it is intended to fill the corner of a shelf, there is nothing to see on the back of the two longest sides. If we add the large handful of stickers to stick and the absence of important characters, this product becomes in my opinion even more dispensable unless you have nothing else on the subject in your collection, especially for 100 €.

Fortunately, this set is already available elsewhere than at LEGO for a little less than the manufacturer's asking price. It's still too expensive for two truly new minifigs, but those who absolutely want to add the new interpretation of Iron Man's MK46 armor to their Ribba frames can do so for a few euros less:

Today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO Marvel set 76312 The Hulk Truck vs. Thanos, a box of 229 pieces which will be available via the official online store from April 1, 2025 at the public price of €29,99.

Everyone knows that Hulk never travels without his favorite off-roader, a vehicle he may share with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. More seriously, LEGO is once again taking the easy route to younger fans of the Marvel Universe by including a vehicle in a set featuring characters who didn't necessarily need one.

The Monster Truck delivered here is not without merit, it is well executed considering the inventory provided and it even has the luxury of having a semblance of suspension via a few rubber inserts. The vast majority of the set's inventory goes into the vehicle, Thanos being on foot.

For once, Hulk isn't throwing a vehicle at his enemies; he's at the wheel, wearing his yellow helmet, as if he were about to take part in a Monster Jam competition. The whole thing is very quickly assembled and promises several hours of play for anyone who enjoys this big off-roader.

No doors and the minifigure must be installed at the wheel of the vehicle by removing the roof. Three stickers in the box, those of the doors with the words "Hulk Smash!" and the one with the Hulk head that sits on the front hood.

As I said, Thanos is on foot, which incidentally allows us to keep the product's retail price at an almost reasonable level, even if the character could have done with a skateboard for the sake of appearances. We'll do without.

The Hulk figure uses the torso already seen in the sets 76241 Hulk Mech Armor (2023) et 76287 Iron Man with Bike and The Hulk (2024) and the character's head was also present in the set marketed in 2024. No legs with ragged pants, it's a bit of a shame especially in relation to the subject matter here. You can choose to install his hair or the yellow helmet provided. Hulk obviously needs a helmet while driving, you never know, he could get hurt in the event of an accident.

The Thanos minifig allows you to obtain a torso with a very well executed new design, the head of the character is the one already seen in several sets since 2021. In the hands of Thanos, an Infinity Gauntlet and the Tesseract, that's always something.

In short, this little box probably won't revolutionize the genre, but it will allow a child to have a little fun while their parents discreetly steal Thanos's torso to supply their Ribba frames with various and varied variations. For €30, it's almost reasonable.

Today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO Marvel set 76315 Iron Man's Laboratory: Hall of Armor, a box of 384 pieces currently on pre-order and which will be available via the official online store from April 1, 2025 at the public price of €54,99.

If the contents of this new release seem familiar, you're not dreaming. With a few details and figurines, this is a "light" version of the content already seen in the LEGO Marvel sets. 76125 Iron Man Hall of Armor (524 pieces - 69.99 €) and 76167 Iron Man Armory (258 pieces - €29.99) launched in 2019 and 2020 respectively. These two combined boxes then made it possible to obtain a relatively opulent staging.

This new 2025 interpretation of Tony Stark's lab is a little more economical and it's also a reboot The design of the niches housing the various armors of the owner of the place is quite successful. Three spaces are available, they are flanked by their respective stickers (see the scan of the board below).

We can't say that we're really winning, especially at the price LEGO is asking for this 2025 new product. We can console ourselves with the scanner, the maintenance platform with its two robotic arms and the presence of the MK38 "Igor" armor delivered here in the form of a buildable figurine, still as ugly but ultimately rather faithful to the reference version for an interpretation at this scale.

There is no doubt that this is the first part of a larger room, of which at least one extension will sooner or later try to rob us of a few dozen additional euros to obtain a more convincing presentation.

As it stands, it's still very minimalist with three constructions without any real physical link between them and the presence of a few clips on the sides of the section which allows three armors to be aligned gives hope for a rapid evolution of the diorama. The set's maintenance platform 76125 Iron Man Hall of Armor had at least the merit of being connected to the rest of the structure to be built, this is not the case here.

Being honest and putting aside the asking price, it's all actually pretty well executed and visually pleasing. But in my opinion, it's far too simplistic for €55, with the unpleasant feeling of paying full price for the start of a larger playset and locking yourself into having to go back to the checkout one day.

On the other hand, the figure offering is quite comprehensive with Pepper Potts, Aldrich Killian, Iron Patriot in MK1 version, Iron Man in MK6 version and Iron Man in MK43 armor. DUM-E is also there with his favorite fire extinguisher, just like the MK38 "Igor" armor delivered here in the form of a buildable figure.

Aldrich Killian, who we hadn't seen at LEGO since the set version 76006 Iron Man Extremis Sea Port Battle marketed in 2013, returns here in a more cinematic interpretation with a nice torso but a pair of desperately gray and neutral legs which spoil the figurine a little.

Pepper Potts has reused the torso already provided for the character in several sets since 2021, as well as Claire Dearing's hairstyle. It's a shame, as the character probably deserved a more significant update to make her a less generic figure.

Regarding the armor provided, Iron Patriot in MK1 version is new from the helmet to the legs including the torso, except for the head which is logically that of War Machine in other sets of the range since 2022.

Iron Man in MK6 version benefits from a new torso resting on legs already seen elsewhere. He wears a helmet available since 2022 in this form and uses only a transparent head to symbolize the empty armor. Iron Man in MK43 armor, for his part, is saddled with elements already seen elsewhere since 2024.

The MK38 "Igor" armor could save the day a little because it is, as I said above, relatively faithful to the reference version, but the gray ball joints used at the hips and knees unfortunately remain far too visible to convince me. No joints at the elbows, you have to make do with the part usually used for the arms and legs of the mechs at €14,99.

We can also discuss the sticker sheet provided, partly composed of stickers on a transparent background that don't look the best once applied with visible traces of glue. I understand the need to keep the partition of the niches that house the different armors transparent, but it would be good if LEGO looked into the subject a little seriously. For €55, I think we could have even had nice pad-printed windows.

This little box is probably just the beginning of the reboot of what is therefore becoming a chestnut tree of the LEGO Marvel range and in my opinion we must expect an extension which will give a little cachet to the whole.

The niches provided for the armors are well done, some fans might consider using them as inspiration to upgrade their home Hall of Armor. In any case, we will wisely wait for this product to be available elsewhere for much less than at LEGO, the minifigure supply here is indeed relatively substantial but it reuses many already seen elements and does not give pride of place to truly new versions of the different characters.

Today we stay in the 4+ universe with a quick tour of the contents of the LEGO DC set 76301 Batman & Batmobile vs. Mr. Freeze, a small box of 63 pieces available since January 1, 2025 on the official online store at the public price of €19,99.

As with all the boxes in this transition range between the DUPLO and System, it is better not to try to evaluate the content/price ratio of the product, it is not to the advantage of parents who are concerned about offering the best to their young children who are fed up with DUPLO and who are ruining themselves in the LEGO section.

The subject here: the Batmobile. The approach is necessarily ultra-minimalist and will bring back memories to fans of the defunct Mighty Micros range with a version barely more substantial than that of the sets 76061 Mighty Pickups Batman vs. Catwoman (2016) or 76092 Mighty Pickups Batman vs. Harley Quinn (2018)

The whole thing is very quickly assembled, there are no stickers and the vehicle is easily handled without breaking anything. If you collect Batmobiles in all formats, this one can join the equally minimalist and almost cute one from the LEGO DC set 76224 Batmobile: Batman vs. The Joker Chase (€47.99) marketed in 2023.

Opposite, we find Mr. Freeze with his very symbolic ice cannon topped with an Eskimo and capable of ejecting the two pieces provided. Nothing crazy, but the youngest will probably have fun for five minutes trying to knock out the Batmobile.

The good surprise comes from the two figurines provided in this box: Batman is flanked by a new torso that is currently only available in this box but that we will probably see again and again in future products and Mr. Freeze is new in this form with a very nice torso but a pair of neutral legs.

Mr. Freeze's head is not new, however, it is the one available since 2024 in the LEGO DC set 76274 Batman with the Batmobile vs. Harley Quinn and Mr. Freeze (€59.99). No hard cape for Batman, the accessory probably didn't fit into the budget and you have to make do with the usual soft element.

In short, nothing to get up at night for, but the possibility of getting two currently unreleased figurines at a lower cost in a box that is obviously available elsewhere than at LEGO for a little less. It's still a price for collectors whose Ribba frames dedicated to the DC range have been struggling to fill up a little in recent years.
