Today we take a very quick tour of the content of the LEGO Marvel set 76321 Spider-Man vs. Doc Ock Subway Train Scene, a box of 393 pieces available from LEGO and elsewhere since August 1, 2025 at the public price of €49,99.

The iconic scene from the Spider-Man 2 movie deserved a new interpretation since the one in the set 4855 Spider-Man's Train Rescue marketed in 2004 and LEGO is therefore trying this year to offer us something a little more modern and capable of seducing a nostalgic audience who would have missed the previous set.

In this new box, a New York subway car but nothing else. No rails, no additional construction adding a little context to the scene, it's minimum service. The 23 cm long car is well designed, it's a compact but relatively faithful interpretation of what we know of the subject, we can access the interior via two removable roof sections and it is even possible to adapt the two bogies so that they remain fixed in the axis of the car or become mobile in order to circulate freely on a classic train circuit.

For the rest, the interior space can accommodate half a dozen minifigures if they are properly crammed in, and LEGO provides enough to enhance the scene with some large white canvases. The body of the wagon is riddled with Technic bricks with a hole to accommodate an axle; it's ugly, but the presence of these elements allows for some staging variations.

In terms of minifigures, we get Spider-Man with a torso with a never-before-seen damaged costume and the head already seen in the LEGO Marvel set. 76261 Spider-Man Final Battle, all placed on a pair of legs available since 2016 and LEGO provides us as a bonus the face of Tobey Maguire with acceptable hair. We will remember that the rendering "in real life" is less sexy than on the official visuals abundantly retouched, the flesh-colored area visible on the torso is much paler in reality.

The Doc Ock figure is new in this form with a new torso and a new pair of legs but the face already seen in the set 76261 Spider-Man Final Battle. For those wondering, the hair delivered here is that of Suga from BTS, Max Dennison, Gambit and some mini-dolls from the Friends range.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the solution used to embody Octopus's tentacles; I find it a bit messy despite the maximum mobility of the four appendages, which allows the character to be well presented. To nitpick, LEGO could have chosen a more suitable color for the character's coat, with a dark green shade more appropriate than the brown chosen here.

We also get two characters who have no business being there in the context of the scene: Aunt May and J. Jonah Jameson. Both minifigures are simply recycling elements already available in the LEGO inventory.

Jameson's torso is that of Michael Scott, Creed Bratton or Professor X, the character's head is that of Barty Crouch Sr., Aunt May's torso is here flanked by a new reference but it is the one already seen in 2023 in the set 10325 Winter Village Alpine Lodge and the head delivered here is that of Pomona Sprout. Once again the LEGO Harry Potter range is serving the Marvel universe and we feel that LEGO wants to save money.

In short, nothing to get up in the night over, especially for €50, unless you're a huge fan of the movie that serves as a reference for the scene shown here. Train enthusiasts might find some inspiration here to reproduce the car and integrate a New York subway into their city diorama. LEGO could have made the effort to provide a pair of tracks, so as not to display the car alone on a shelf.

As it stands, there's certainly reason to be satisfied with this new interpretation of a scene beloved by fans, but the execution is a bit lacking, with an obvious concern for economy and recycling. As usual, we'll wait for a discount somewhere other than LEGO before buying.

Today we take a very quick tour of the content of the LEGO Marvel set 76324 Spider-Man vs. Oscorp, a box of 808 pieces currently on pre-order on the official online store at the retail price of €129,99 and which will be available from August 1, 2025.

I won't draw you a picture, this is a playset for young fans of the Marvel universe and even if LEGO promises us a "urban scene"grouping"Miles Morales' apartment above a jewelry store, the Oscorp building, and Venom's apartment above a grocery store", the whole thing is of a poverty, both visual and technical, quite disconcerting.

The apartments in question are actually only identifiable through a few very discreet references and they are furnished with the bare minimum. The construction might seem imposing at first glance with a footprint of almost 40 cm and a height reaching 46 cm, but you will have understood that these dimensions are only obtained through a massive use of glass in their frames and the presence of an antenna which allows the manufacturer to sell us a playset of an acceptable volume.

The product makes extensive use of stickers, all graphically very well executed, and the whole thing would have difficulty existing without these stickers that give a bit of character to the different facades. Unfortunately, the whole thing remains very poor technically with numerous panels, windows and other plates that allow you to quickly gain volume without inflating the inventory too much but which significantly shorten the assembly time of the product. LEGO has taken care to divide the process into five different booklets, so it is possible to build with several people.

The presence of Miles Morales's motorcycle, the few integrated features that boil down to dropping or moving things and the possibility of vaguely rearranging the different modules of this "modular" playset are not enough to save the day. Aesthetically, there are some good ideas in this diorama but it is far too symbolic and the whole thing is sorely lacking in finish in my opinion.

If the €130 LEGO is asking isn't in the build, it might be in the assortment of minifigures included. Here we have an interesting cast of eight characters: Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Miles Morales with his motorcycle, Eddie Brock, Ghost-Spider, Norman Osborn with his glider, Kraven the Hunter, and the Green Goblin.

All these figures are well executed, but they are not all new by any means: the Spider-Man minifigure is from 2021, the Spider-Woman minifigure is identical to the version seen since the beginning of the year in the set 76309 Spider-Man vs. Venom Muscle Car, the injected legs in two less colors, Ghost-Spider exists in this form since 2019 and Miles Morales dates from 2021.

Norman Osborn's torso is that of Barty Crouch Sr., his head is also that of Arthur Weasley, Eddie Brock's torso is that of Harry Potter, and he shares his head with the Winter Soldier.

We're left with two new figurines: Kraven the Hunter, with Doctor Strange's head, and Green Goblin, who is the only one with pad-printed legs. That's meager for a box that sold for €130, if we were counting on the figurines to justify the expense.

There's no point in insisting, this product seems to me to be what LEGO often struggles to avoid: a large handful of figurines accompanied by a construction that only serves to promote the "construction toy" label of the thing. It's difficult to defend the creative bias, if there is one, at work here in trying to immerse us in an urban atmosphere, it's really too simplistic even for young audiences.

I have trouble seeing where the €130 that LEGO is asking is, let's hope that this set is soon available for much less elsewhere than on the official online store.

The LEGO Star Wars range is also taking its time in terms of pricing this year, but it still offers something relatively accomplished in terms of construction in exchange for the amount requested. Here, this is far from being the case and we feel that LEGO is only counting on the presence of very popular characters from the Marvel universe to sell this derivative product, which is not a toy worthy of what we can expect from the world number one in the sector in 2025.

Daring to ask €130 for that is a bit pretentious and disappointing knowing that the manufacturer recycles many elements already available for the different characters supplied: Selling us parts from the Harry Potter range in a Marvel licensed product without making the effort to offer us some torsos with an original design confirms a certain laziness and a concern for economy which seems to me a bit exaggerated here.

The LEGO DC range will be enriched from September 9 with a new reference: the set 76300 Batman: Arkham Asylum which is currently available for pre-order on the official online store.

This box of 2953 pieces will be available at the public price of €299,99 and its contents will allow you to assemble a Structure of Arkham Asylum measuring 25 x 25 cm and 32 cm high. You will also get 16 minifigs: Batman, Batwoman, Batwing, Robin, Mr. Freeze, The Riddler, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Scarecrow, Harley Quinn, Bane, The Joker, The Penguin, Killer Croc and two security guards.
The interior of the building will be accessible by removing the upper sections, it will be necessary to stick 65 stickers that LEGO presents as an inexhaustible source ofeaster eggs and other references scattered throughout the construction and we will also assemble a prisoner transport van.

Today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO Marvel set 76329 Miles Morales' Mask, a box of 487 pieces currently available for pre-order at the public price of €69,99 on the official online store and which will be available from July 1, 2025.

This new mask will then join the Spider-Man mask on your shelves, available since 2023 in the set 76285 Spider-Man's Mask. It should also be noted that the inventory of these two products is logically identical with 487 pieces in both cases, as is their public price set for these two sets at €69,99.

And if the two models concerned share their qualities, they also share their defects and other approximations: the shapes are generally there but there are still some gaping spaces that are a little unsightly that we will have to try to mask by playing on the lighting and the shadows.

As usual, we assemble the base, then we mount it using techniques borrowed from the BrickHeadz format and a few solutions that allow us to save parts inside the mask by leaving a little space in the process. It's ingenious, inspired in places, lazy in others and a bit of a failure at the back of the model.

As with the Spider-Man mask, here we also alternate between pad-printed pieces and stickers without knowing why this or that element has had the honor of being printed while others have to make do with stickers with somewhat haphazard alignments.

The result isn't bad, Mile Morales is recognizable and even if the two builds are identical, I prefer this one with a nice contrast at the level of the slightly oversized eyes. Some will judge the reuse of the same inventory and the same techniques for the two masks a little lazy where others will appreciate this consistency between the two models. However, in my opinion, there was room for improvement in certain details on this new version.

The use of stickers is always disappointing on a pure exhibition product and those provided here are relatively large.

In short, it's a wringing out of a formula that is undoubtedly a little out of breath and which in any case will give way to the new range of busts launched this year with the sets 76327 Iron Man MK4 Bust et 76326 Iron Spider-Man Bust.

Miles Morales deserved to be the star of the line, but not at €70 for a barely 19 cm tall build. We'll therefore wisely wait for the price of this product to drop elsewhere than at LEGO to complete a collection of Marvel-licensed helmets and masks before starting another.

Today we take a very quick tour of the content of the LEGO Marvel set 76316 Fantastic Four vs. Galactus Building Figure, a box of 427 pieces available since June 1, 2025 at LEGO and elsewhere at the public price of €59,99.

It's an understatement to say that the arrival of the Fantastic Four at LEGO was eagerly awaited by many fans and other figurine collectors, and with the release of this box, it's a bit of a cold shower for many of them.

The large Galactus figurine will probably not go down in history, it is a Action Figure LEGO sauce, as the manufacturer regularly gives us, with its limited range of joints, its ball joints that are sometimes too visible due to their color or positioning, a back that lacks a bit of finishing and a very large handful of stickers with a fairly large surface area.

The figure stands 28 cm tall, has a pad-printed face, and comes with a clear stand that allows you to display Johnny Storm in flight. There are several studs on the surface of the shoulders, in the palms of the hands, and on the feet to install the included figures and obtain a dynamic presentation of the set.

Ultimately, it's better not to dwell too much on the design of this Action Figure which remains within the codes of the usual LEGO format, I am not sure that this format is the most suitable for embodying the immense Galactus briefly seen in the trailer of the film. We will console ourselves with the available joints which still allow some interesting poses.

The four minifigs included in this box are without any real flavor, even if the outfits are fairly faithful to those seen in the film trailer. The Fantastic Four: First Steps expected in theaters on July 23, 2025. As this is a Origin story, the film features outfits that are more like Lycra pajamas than modern superhero costumes, and the LEGO version of these four characters ultimately only mimics the costumes from the film.

However, it does not do it correctly: we will regret the technical errors which give us symbols not always very well centered on the torso of the characters, the reuse of the same torso for three of them, an economical solution for LEGO which deprives us of the logo placed on the belt of Ben Grimm (The Thing) and the arms which should have been pad printed with a white area for the latter and Johnny Storm (The Human Torch).

We can also discuss the faces and hairstyles of the different characters; it's hard to see Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. Finally, Reed Richards's extended legs are embodied here by a few pieces that struggle to convince me, and Ben Grimm's turtle-shell "hairstyle" seems a little strange to me.

And that's not to mention the character's additional "hands," which look a bit ridiculous when installed on the figure. Even more petty on LEGO's part: the regrettable absence of the white boots worn on screen by the four members of the group. Here, we're left with neutral pairs of legs that give a rather unpleasant, almost economical impression.

The result is, in my opinion, clear: it's a bit rushed and without much flavor, even if we can rejoice to finally see the Fantastic Four arrive in our collections. We will have to be content with it and hope for better, even if this derivative product will probably be the only one around the film and that even in the case of a second set marketed later, we will probably have to put up with the same figurines.

With a little patience, it should soon be possible to pay a little less for this box elsewhere than at LEGO.
