At last! A picture of Spider-man's Doc Oc Ambush

 

  • At last! A picture of Spider-man's Doc Oc Ambush

    Posted by Huw, 24 May 2012 10:00. Filed under New sets.

    Here it is: the first known picture of 6873 Spider Man's Doc Oc Ambush, courtesy of Mr Toys in Australia, which states it'll be available mid-August.

    The image could be better but you can just about make out what's in it: 3 minifigs (Spidey, Doc Oc and Iron Fist), some sort of wheeled contraption that Doc Oc appears to be attached to, Iron Fist being restrained by something and some laboratory equipment.

    That was a bit vague, wasn't it, but I suspect some of you will know what it's all supposed to be and from what movie and will enlighten us in the comments!

Looks great, will be buying it for Iron Fist and Spidey!

Posted by Brickman193 in Australia, 24 May 2012 10:24

And I believe it's based off the new Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon, rather than any of the live-action movies.

great I must have it

Posted by vwong19 in United States, 24 May 2012 10:38

Can't wait! Is it $30-40?

Posted by Kez in United Kingdom, 24 May 2012 10:43

I think it is $40 or £40 in Britain with 362 pieces

Posted by deathwatch in Hong Kong, 24 May 2012 10:49

It kinda reminds me of the Batcave....

Posted by brix in United Kingdom, 24 May 2012 11:09

I think Kez is right - considering the lex luther power armour set on the same site was $40 and this is $70, it will probably be $40 (USA) and £40 (UK)

Posted by DarthSte in United Kingdom, 24 May 2012 11:13

I was hoping for £35 like the Batwing battle thing...

Posted by CamberbrickGreen in United Kingdom, 24 May 2012 11:26

Correct me if I'm wrong, 'Ultimate' Marvel stories involve a reworked origin and storyline for the characters involved? Not that it affects how the Lego sets look, which is pretty great.

Posted by CapnRex101 in United Kingdom, 24 May 2012 11:27

Looks great, very reminiscent of the Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape if you ask me. I hope we see a few more Spiderman sets released (as well as some of the other heroes).

Too........Comical

Posted by fyrmedhatt in United States, 24 May 2012 11:35

The price people are reporting makes perfect sense, as the Marvel line needed a set in the huge gap between $20 and $50...

Posted by deepdalelegend in United Kingdom, 24 May 2012 11:45

I noticed that my local TRU store is kitted out in Amazing Spiderman displays, they had some movie sets but they are M***Bloks!

Posted by NeilJam in United States, 24 May 2012 11:52

This set isn't based on a movie. Iron Fist wasn't in previous movies, and MegaBloks has the license to make building sets based on the new movie. I saw that someone has been selling numerous Spidey minifigs from this set on ebay recently. I don't like how it looks with the base color for the torso being blue. The Spidey minifigs Lego made before look better than this one.

Posted by brix in United Kingdom, 24 May 2012 12:14

@ NielJam - I see what u mean about the blue torso. And I'm sure the arms are meant to be mostly red. I think this figure's disappointing :(

Posted by legofanatic2414 in United States, 24 May 2012 12:51

It seems to have just 3 minifigures, same as the Iron Man set. I suspect it is 20 to 25 no? Although, it does look to be of much more piece count. Either way, I will be buying it nonetheless. I have been waiting for this set for a while now, and I will definitively buy even if it costs the estimated 40$ price tag.

Posted by meyerc13 in United States, 24 May 2012 13:02

I find it very interesting that both Megablocks and LEGO will have Spidey on the shelf at the same time. I wonder how many kids are going to ask for the "Spider-man LEGO set" for a present from Grandma, telling her "Don't worry, you'll find it, it's the only one with Spider-man in it" only to end up with megablocks instead of LEGO.

Posted by UtarEmpire in United States, 24 May 2012 13:08

I'm honestly surprised by why Marvel/LEGO decided to go with Iron Fist out of the thousands of other characters to choose from. Guess this brings up my hopes for a Moon Knight Minifig. (Honestly, I think I would explode if LEGO did something like a "Marvel Collectible Minifig" thing.)

Posted by vwong19 in United States, 24 May 2012 13:13

I think this version of Spiderman is consistent with the comic version. Black webbing instead of silver and the pant leg being all blue is only a little disappointing that his boots are not red, but that is consistent with Lego not painting shoes in general. Eyes are white instead of silver also is consistent with the comics.

Iron Fist is pretty accurate to the comics and cartoon. Doc Oc is disappointing...

I hope this is just the beginning of a long line of Ultimate Spiderman sets. So far they have a pretty nice assortment of characters...

I'd love to see Nova, Nick Fury, Taskmaster, Dr. Doom, Klaw, Venom, Blizard, ...

Posted by followsclosely in United States, 24 May 2012 13:15

$30-$40 is crazy talk. $59 is low as this will go.

Posted by Renegade007cjh in United Kingdom, 24 May 2012 13:28

Been looking forward to a Spidey set... missed out on the "Studios" releases, so definitely going to get this. BTW (and not wanting to pick nits), but I think it should be Doc OCK, not Oc... Thanks for the heads-up!!

Posted by swlego@hf in United States, 24 May 2012 13:37

Glad they did this, even if it is based on a completely horrible rendition of the character. Iron Fist is a nice addition, making up for the bad doc ock. A must buy? yes, but not for 70 dollars. Hopefully i'll be able to get it when it goes on sale (when pigs fly).

Posted by swlego@hf in United States, 24 May 2012 13:37

@UtarEmpire-agreed, that would be awesome.

Posted by vwong19 in United States, 24 May 2012 13:41

^ It's $70 AU... which is probably $40 US.

Posted by legoguy2805 in United Kingdom, 24 May 2012 13:42

£40 isn't too bad... even if it's more than that I'll be finding some way to buy it as I collect Super Heroes.

Posted by Rockman Xtreme in United States, 24 May 2012 13:52

39.99 USA. All true, with piece count at 362 pieces.

Posted by Gandalf1 in United States, 24 May 2012 14:23

$40 is actually a LITTLE bit much but certainly better than some sets *cough*Weathertop*cough*.

Posted by Mirakle in France, 24 May 2012 14:34

Good news !
I appreciate Iron Fist character.
I hope the set will be released soon in France.

Posted by legoguysw in United Kingdom, 24 May 2012 14:40

Looks good. I expect it'll fill the £30-£40 gap in the Marvel sets.

Posted by Outer Rim Emperor in United States, 24 May 2012 14:54

This looks better than I was expecting! I can't wait to get my hands on this one! I missed all of the original spider-man sets :(

Posted by The Reviewer in United States, 24 May 2012 15:12

I was hoping this set would be based of the New movie coming up instead of the cartoon. I hate it when they make Spiderman's white eyes really big.

Posted by Legolover9531 in United States, 24 May 2012 15:19

I LOVE the set, only problem is is the cartoon is crap. It seems like a full 22 minute Family Guy "like the time/when". Still buying it though!

Posted by refriedbeans in United States, 24 May 2012 15:49

I love the set AND the TV show, so I have to buy this!

Posted by Zacherano in United States, 24 May 2012 15:56

This looks pretty amazing - not just the minifigures, but the parts selection too. It's smaller than I expected, though, so I hope the price won't be too ridiculous (seems like it should not be more than about $40 USD).

Posted by Legobatman27 in Canada, 24 May 2012 16:14

Should I get this or the funhouse I can't choose

Posted by brix in United Kingdom, 24 May 2012 16:27

^ Funhouse - it's amazing - u get 5 awesome minifigs and more pieces overall for what we're guessing is the same price :)

Posted by skipper1011 in United States, 24 May 2012 16:34

I am not to overall impressed with the set itself. The model looks like something a kid mashed up on the LEGO Digital Designer. I'll probably buy the Spiderman figure off Ebay or Bricklink. Other than that, this model is very mediocre compared to all the other MARVEL sets.

By the way, does anyone have any info about the Palpatine's Arrest set? Has a price been released yet?

Posted by Doctor Leg O'Brick in United Kingdom, 24 May 2012 16:52

@roguetrader1987, yes, you are correct. After Marvel had suffered heavy losses in the late 1990s due to many things (artwork, poor story lines, variant issues, popularity falling among kids) Marvel revamped their comic line with an Ultimate Spider Man comic. Set in the present day in a alternate reality, heros only had just started to emerge instead of the 40's/50's/60's in the main comics. This apealed more to kids/tenagers much like the comics in the 60s because they could relate to it more, and could pick it up from any issue without knowing the back story. Ultimate X Men, The Ultimates, (thier version of the Avengers) and Ultimate Fantastic Four were next, along with many others. As the years went by their was more popularity for the main line, with company wide crossover epics like Civil War and Secret Invation gaining the lost poularity. In the end, they killed most of the Ultimates off in an Epic of there own, Ultimatum. They killed many characters off including Spider Man, but this year have again revamped it.

As for the the set, it looks great but would pay no more than £40 for it.

Posted by teamladd in United Kingdom, 24 May 2012 16:54

I can't wait for this!

Posted by vwong19 in United States, 24 May 2012 16:54

@Legobatman27 - I would think based on your handle that you would have the Fun House already...

Posted by aquafreak125 in United Kingdom, 24 May 2012 16:55

Loving the look of the set, will definitely pick it up after my GCSEs finish! Huge Spider Man fan so I can't skip this set!

Posted by Zacherano in United States, 24 May 2012 17:34

@Legobatman27 - Judging from your username, I would recommend the funhouse. I am an owner of this set, and I must say that nearly everything about it speaks of fair pricing, great figures, and a nice piece and color selection as well. Unfortunately, the model's foundations are a bit weak, but that can be easily remedied with a few extra bricks. If you really really really like Spiderman, though, you should definitely get this set as who knows how many other Spiderman sets Lego plans to produce after a seven or eight year hiatus. I will be getting the Spiderman set, if not for its design, then for its sheer minfigure selection and potential value.

Posted by swchk1993 in United Kingdom, 25 May 2012 05:09

i would have been so much happier if they did spiderman and the lizard, with the same kind of laboratory scene but in the actual to-be-releashed spiderman blockbuster this year!

Posted by The BrickKeeper in United States, 25 May 2012 08:39

Looks kinda cheap and tacky to me, just like all the other Super Hero sets.

Posted by snoboarder31 in United States, 25 May 2012 09:36

*drools*

Posted by kenhew in Malaysia, 25 May 2012 09:49

Methinks this is one of the less tackier of the superheroes sets compared to batcave(ugh!) or even helicarieer. Good first impression on me, though I'll have to see it for myself when it comes out or at least a clearer picture surfaced. 70 aussie dollars ain't too bad (OZ pricing are almost the same with the asia-pacific region, and yeah we've gotten used to these kind of pricing by now so not gonna start complaining). As usual, can't wait ;)

Posted by LostInTranslation in United Kingdom, 25 May 2012 10:34

@energyarrow - your question has already been answered in a previous comment: TLG does not have a licence for the forthcoming film.

Looking forward to this set, aiming for 100% completeness on Superheroes. I think I prefer my old Spiderman minifig but will reserve final judgment until I can compare them both accurately.

Posted by graallll in United States, 25 May 2012 19:29

nice figs (and set)

Posted by cool_kid555 in United States, 25 May 2012 21:24

the brickset effect happened again, the link no longer exists.

Posted by wesman21 in United States, 26 May 2012 13:33

Easily the best Spiderman minifig to date. Good job lego! Secure the rights to the comic book characters instead of the movies!
