LEGO Spider-Man Daily Bugle 76178 (3772 pieces)

Lets be clear I very nearly did not purchase this set. As a collector of Lego modular buildings I had doubts that this over the top Marvel monster would clash with the sleepy old world charm of my 'Lock Down Street' project. My wife was even more adamant, " Don't buy that, it looks daft". But, I did and I love it. I added a standard white Lego lamp post on the front and increased the depth of the pavement by a couple of tiles to blend in with the rest of the street and just like that it looks wonderful. OK, as I chose to display all 25 mini figures on the outside front of the building its definitely 'busy' out there but I don't care. Oh and the wife thinks it looks fantastic, " its so much better in the flesh than it looks in the photos and although I can't explain it, looks really good in the street ". So in summary a gamble that paid off. Well done Lego.

Wanted this set since it was first revealed, was finally able to get it before it's retirement. It is incredible. Well worth it's price per parts. The build itself is a very solid structure, where the lower floor is rather difficult to actually get into, the other 3's removable window makes for easy rearrangement/viewing. the selection of figures is great, where some are obscure, having DAREDEVIL in Lego form is a very wonderful addition to my collection. (Plz, More Daredevil Lego!!) Only negative I feel is the lower floor being rather inaccessible, aside from that it rocks!
