Recommendation: yes 9 / 10 by just2good

Overall, this set is great, but I would buy the Wolverine set first since the Wolverine set is cheaper by $10 USD and includes 3 exclusive figures (just like this set). But still, the pieces in this set are great and the same goes for the $30 USD price point.

Recommendation: no 4 / 5 by Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Spider-Man's Doc Ock Ambush is a pretty good set for the value. All the minifigures are exclusive to the set until next year when we'll be getting Spider-Man in a couple more sets. The build was extremely easy and there were also a few nice spare parts. The set has some very nice playability features to it but Doc Ock's vehicle seems out of place.

Recommendation: meh 4 / 5 by Oky

It's not the greatest Spider-Man set (it's based on The Ultimate Spider-Man after all), but it's still pretty good. For a fair and affordable price, you get Spider-Man and two other characters which are exclusive to this set (at least for now) along with a neat lab and a little car, so unless you really hate The Ultimate Spider-Man or mad scientist labs, I recommend getting it (if you can find it in stock anywhere). If you just want a Spidey minifig, I would probably skip this one though, because rumor has it that he will be available in an even cheaper set next year with two much more desirable characters, Venom and Nick Fury.

My son and I derived very little enjoyment from the set, but Spidey has been hanging with Shelob and the Hobbits for a week now and he's still a hit. I wish I could've loved this set, but I don't and in the end it barely squeeks into the like catagory.

Figuring it wasn't enough to index LEGO reviews, we decided we needed to write some as well! Simple and to the point, this blog is where three Swedish LEGO geeks vent and rave about the sets we buy.

Oh, and we're not related to The LEGO Group or The LEGO Company in any way shape or form. We just really like their toys, the AFOL community and the creativity of it all.
