Oooo, that Miles' Mech and Mysterio figure are really nice.
Like it that they reuse the angry stormtrooper head from star wars to mario because it got replace by the new head.
Well, I'll be getting most of these. Not a fan of the mechs as they are but they're easily modded and usually have some fun parts. Not sure about the big truck though it's only a few small mods away from being a regular, non-Spidey truck.
The most exciting set here is the Ghost Rider Hell Charger. Been wanting this for ages, glad I didn't break my brain trying to design my own (I'm terrible at cars). Robbie Reyes will make a great addition to my collection!
Compared to this years set these aren't actually too bad, I actually quite like the 76173 set for the car build and figures. The mech are much better than this years ones.
The showdown kit, which looks 4+, is meh and the Van set is boring to me, probably got some nice play elements though and the build isn't too bad but just not for me.
Lool spiderman and his big truck! Lego is running out of ideas for spiderman vehicles now
They were so determined to give Spidey a monster truck they never stopped to wonder why.
The 'Spider-Man vehicle' thing LEGO keeps doing for whatever reason is goofy as hell. If they want large builds to go with their Spider-man sets, maybe they should do New York-style buildings.
Adults would appreciate the design, and kids would be able to make-believe Spider-Man's swinging off of them or that there's action going on inside.
Those mech heads look off...
But sweet damn, that Charger looks awesome!
I don't know what to feel except that they need to calm down on the motion blur in the marketing images. It makes them ultimately unreadable unless you like to view your sets at warp speed. They've gone to plaid.

Because you can drive it around, crash into baddies, and shoot stuff! Lego really isn’t targeting us with this stuff and kids love cool unusual vehicles.
I keep hoping the Ghost Rider vehicles will have trans orange hubs, to look more like flames. It's a good liking set, I'll definitely be picking this one up. Still making my mind up on the mechs.
I love the minifigs in this wave! Apart from the Thor, everything has some great new prints/molds going for them, especially the Miles and Cap figures
It's notable that Sandman has an 'angry clone' head because he was in 76037 with Rhino who had an 'angry clone' head in that set while Sandman had a reused elf head from The Hobbit sets.
Eugh, Carnage again, really? These sets look very cool (still very excited to see images for the Spidey Hideout set) but I wish they'd given us a couple of new villains
bor-ing
Nice to see Ghost Rider again! I honestly wasn’t expecting him to show up in another set, so this is a nice surprise.
The Mechs aren’t half bad, actually. I appreciate they’re giving more unique but still relatively easy to find variants of the characters. My favorite is Cap, but Miles is a nice inclusion as well.
As for the Spidey sets, this is when I need to remind myself that LEGO is still a toy and this is for the kids. They’re fine for what they are, but the mini figures are pretty sweet. That Dr. Octopus just kinda makes me wonder if LEGO wanted to make some sets based off the PS4 game,
Yeah that Ghost Rider ride lools fantastic.

My daughter who is 6 was mentioning Ghost Rider the other day so kids in the playground are talking about him (which I was surprised about) and she is always talking about miles morales and peter parker so spiderman is as popular as ever. She would love all of these.
Agreed - the main market is certainly the kids on these sets ... I still remember how much I loved the goofy vehicles I got with my DC and Marvel Secret Wars action figures in the 1980s - kids will always love this stuff. Besides, as @Jack_Rizzo said, at least there's some fun parts for AFOLS.
That being said, I do wish that they would invest in some leg printing for the classic comic book Spidey minifig...
Well, Miles looks super cool.

"76173 is my favorite out of this wave. I'm curious though; what happened to Thor's calves? they're so thick..."
That is a... fair point, I hadn't noticed them, I was too concerned with their plastic cape attempt. That's hilarious though. While still cool, that mech is probably the weakest set in the wave. Nothing new in the figure, and only a couple printed/stickered elements to add draw. every other set has either new/unique variants of figures or more action functionality
76173 is my favorite as I like the vehicle.
Maybe I'll get 76174 and just not put all the stickers on the set. But I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up like 2020 where the Marvel sets got pushed off the want list by other stuff I liked more.
That Miles Morales looks so good... and also reminds me that I should totally watch Into the Spider-Verse again sometime too, that was such a great movie. If I get any of these sets, it's definitely going to be him.
Or maybe just Bricklink the minifigure sometime, instead xD
Hard to believe we still have not gotten a Prowler minifigure from the Into the Spider-Verse movie.
It took me way too long to realize that Miles' dual molded legs are supposed to represent basketball shorts over his suit...
So 76173 is 75893 but with Spiderman figs and flames attached? I accept!
I only picked up the Thanos mech last time but as a massive captain America fan I will get this one and the Miles Moralles mech too got enough ordinary spidey figs as it is, the Ghost rider charger is quite smart...
However lego we are overdue a Fantastic four set or two, New Xmen ones and a few others like Punisher, Daredevil, shang chi, and Jessica Jones!!

While I would absolutely love to get to see Daredevil, Punisher and Jessica Jones in LEGO, Punisher and Jessica are probably too violent/thematically dark for LEGO to cover. We've gotten some references to Daredevil previously, so there's definitely still a chance there
All of these seem like really fun play sets. Love the giant Captain America shield - and the scowling Thor with jumbo Mjolner build is pretty cool. But whatever is going on with the 76174 spider-man vs mysterio is downright bonkers. Every element in it seems over the top - and I'm more than ok with that! Doc Oc and Mysterio look awesome and sign me up for that Spidey Monster Truck.

I had a late 70s diecast Superman vehicle, I think made by Corgi. It was a single seater space ship/jet plane (of course), with two punching fists cannons on the front (of course of course).
One man's tat is another kid's Ossum!
I only just noticed that the web elements in the Monster truck set are trans-clear! That has potential to be really versatile and fits with the Ghost Spider concept for Gwen
I don't get why LEGO didn't use the Dodge license they already have when they did the Ghost Rider set--as I understand Ghost Rider's car is a '69 Charger. And besides, Hot Wheels used both licenses in their iteration. And, the move to eight studs would definitely improve the look over the last Charger that had a similar body style, the '70 Charger R/T in 75893. Both "Chargers" look pretty awkward at six studs.
I love the Spider-Man monster truck. Reminds me so much of Tamiya's Lunch Box.
I can't stand Super Heroes as a theme, but the Ghost Rider and Spider-Man sets are on my list.
The mechs are kind of neat especially the Miles Morales one, and I really am digging that Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider.

Well then, looks like the designers know what they’re doing! Hope she enjoys this upcoming wave!
And Ghost Rider is kinda surprising to hear kids talk about. I remember when I was younger I just kinda... knew who he was. I never saw the movies or anything, so I don’t know how I heard of him, but something about just the idea of him kinda stuck. I wasn’t even aware of his backstory and all until I was a teen.

What they could do is base them on the Fox kids versions from the 90,s or the comics, we haven't had iron fist for a while either there are do many villains needed in lego form aswell like kingpin, kang, Namor Lizard, Iron maiden, whirlwind & Zemo!!
So we've got some lovely looking arm printing for spidey, but we've lost the dual molded legs!

Do her friends play Fortnite? They recently introduced a Ghost Rider outfit; he looks like a cross between Johnny Blaze and Danny Ketch.
Spidervan, spidervan, goes wherever a taxi can...
so when are we getting the ninjago set pics? really excited for the ninjago city gardens.....
Great figures in weird sets. The Ghost Rider set is nice though.
Those are all neat sets (that Cap mech’s shield is sick), and I’ll be purchasing them.
My only gripe - and it’s sort of a big one - is that LEGO is treating Spider-Man and Batman as the main ‘anchor’ characters of their respective universes, and making them the center of almost every set gets really repetitive.
There are so many Marvel and DC characters of which LEGO could be producing minifigures, it just seems like a waste to base everything around only two figures. I don’t mind if they are included in most sets, just stop making them the focus of most sets.
Oh, and when is the Fantastic Four and Four Freedoms Plaza going to make an appearance? My Hulk bigfigs need an ever lovin’ blue-eyed Thing for poker night!

The Super-Mobile!
That Miles Morales fig is really nice, and the Ghost Rider set is pretty rad, too.
This might be one of the better Marvel waves of the last few years. The mechs are terrific for the minifigures (I need the new Cap and Miles Morales) and I really like Ghost Rider. However, the builds still aren’t great.
No Venom either, so we can finally have a break!
The mechs look pretty good imo, I might even buy the Captain Puerto Rico one.
I am really excited for the mechs because I don't have any of the minifigs included with them, and the mechs look cool. As for the normal sets, good minifigs, meh builds

"Oooo, that Miles' Mech and Mysterio figure are really nice."
I think that Mysterio was on a set this or last year, but maybe without the green fumes - he had robot armor of some kind while robbing a bank. Mixing his helmet and green fumes with the one from the Far from Home Mysterio will be golden
Did any of you watch Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse from 2018? One of the multiverse Aunt May characters has a Spider-Cave, very much like the Batcave, and it has every Spider-themed vehicle you can imagine. Nearly all Marvel Spider-Man sets since 2018, not based upon the cinematic universe or game media, are directly inspired by that film. Lego hasn't run out of ideas, you're just not paying attention to the sources.
76173... That’s one I’m gonna get. Ghost Rider baby... Yeah!
Miles Morales looks good, as does Spider-Gwen with the new hood and Mysterio. However, I'll not be getting any of these as the overall set quality is lacking, but you just gotta laugh at Spider-Man's Monster Truck! Like, seriously LEGO? Hilarious!
More mechs? Boring, come on, give us something different for once please...
Although I do see some uses for a few of the parts in the trans-blue web pack.
Why would Spiderman drive a monster truck?
Oh no . . . yellow frictionless pin recolor in 76172. Honestly I'm fine with it as long as it doesn't phase out the grey version. I'm surprised no one else picked up on that yet.
Also thrilled to see the Miles Morales Mech. I know someone who just got into LEGO and is absolutely going to love it!
Ya know, I actually think the old style hood element looked better in Spider Gwen (aka Ghost Spider).
These looks “just ok” overall to me. They’re clearly skewing younger with these Spider-Man sets, and that’s fine. The minifigs have always been the main draw anyway. I wonder if there’s still truth to the rumor of a Spider-Man’s Lair set?
Wow, so, clearly the designer who's obsessed with monster trucks is still designing sets.
I like the mech-suits, though. I didn't think I'd like them (because it was a terrible year for superhero sets, for both Marvel and DC), but I bought the Spider-man mech this year and *absolutely* loved it. So I'll definitely be picking up these three.
Hope that monster truck has some nice suspension to it. Also liked the mechs, might get some of those.
Can they stop giving us only Spider-Man characters for Marvel and Batman characters for DC? There are many more superheroes in both universes than these two groups and many of the other characters that haven’t appeared in Lego sets. Characters like Odin and Cosmo the space dog from Marvel and Dr Fate and Atrocitus from DC have gotten appreciation in lego movies and games, but not in the sets. I’d even accept more Avengers and Justice League sets without new characters, as long as they just stopped mass producing the same two characters in hundreds of sets.
I want the Miles Morales Mech, nice illiteration LEGO, and the Hell Charger. I also am interested in both other mech sets. Overall this looks like a great wave of sets.

Yeah, I caught that, too. Ghost Rider's going to have to lean back a bit while he's driving.
That, or, lose his roof when he goes over a bump.
Remove one letter from Mech and what do you have?
Meh...
That Charger is hot af though. The Monster Truck is very Juniory. Not...that...there's...anything wrong with that.
I must express my true, non-jokey chagrin that there is no Minifigure here that makes me say "WOW they are releasing [insert pronoun here]??? No WAY!!!"

The hideout (hall of spidy suits) and Ironman vs Thanos
Miles will be mine!
I wish they’d get some interior hood printing on Spider-Gwen, it really is the most important part of the costume.
Also, would really like a collection of Marvel figures this year. I need me some Dr Doom.

I was gonna say, not calling it the Spider-van is a missed opportunity.
When did Spider-Man get a monster truck if I remember in the comics and on the 90s cartoon he had too beg to borrow a daily bugle van off jameson??
I will 100% buy the ghost rider dodge and also the armor mechs
Just to surprise the punters another 3 Marvel Mechs to add to this years 3 Marvel Mechs? Has anyone asked why does a superhero need a Mech, surely only those with no superpowers need a Mech?

According to Instagram the next 3 mechs are Captain marvel, Hulk and Black widow with a possibility of a Hawkeye one!!
Some good stuff. I like these mechs especially for kids. Rather than inventing nonsensical vehicles for Spiderman, they should do various sets with different modular subway train cars that can be combined to form a longer train - a lot like 4855 Spider-Man's Train Rescue - which was a fabulous set.
Another gd monster truck?!
I really want to get the mechs, because they all look awesome! The capitan America one has the big shield, the Thor one has an awesome figure same for the Miles Morales one! I'll also be getting the ghostrider set, because it has spider-man with arm printing, and also that super cool looking ghostrider! The dodge is cool as well. As for the other sets, and also the spring sets, I'm not interested in them at all
Was hoping for a miles morales spiderman and lego did not disappoint! (even if it is in a mech)
Any news on a 3-in-1 mech bundle like 66635 from this year?

I remember one like this but from the Super Powers line.
It must be just me, but it looks like lego have lost their way on the Super Heroes front. The older Spiderman sets had far more imaginative backdrops. The new sets are just revamped old figures and the 'supporting cast' lacks the wow factor. I suppose they have to churn out something to claw back the licensing fees!!
