Legois a very fun, but very expensive, hobby to pursue, particularly if you have a penchant for the bigger, more complex sets like I do. Most of the time, the closest I get to those massive sets is when I admire them through a Lego store window. However, if you are reading this in time, you can currently pick up one ofMarvel’s biggest and best Lego sets for a lot less than it usually retails for.
It’s the Daily Bugle set, which is modeled after the newspaper’s HQ from theSpider-Manmovies. It was really Lego’s first real crack at making a much larger Marvel set, pre-datingthe Avengers Tower setthat will seemingly never go on sale, much to my dismay, andlast year’s X-Mansion setthat was released to coincide with the huge success of X-Men ‘97.
Lego’s Daily Bugle set is heavily discounted for Insider Days
It’s not often you can get this much Lego for so little
The Daily Bugle Lego set’s release not only predates both of the larger offerings mentioned above, but it remains the second biggest Marvel set ever created. That’s why, at $350, it’s also the second most expensive. However, if you pick it up before the end of Lego’s Insiders Days sale,which comes to a close tomorrow (July 17), then you can get the set for even less than the considerably smaller X-Mansion.
The Insiders Day salebrings the cost of the Daily Bugle set down to just $279.99,which, fora set that’s made up of 3,789 bricks, is an incredibly good deal. By comparison, the X-Mansion has 700 fewer bricks and currently costs $60 more. Lego’s upcoming Baratie Floating Restaurant,which will be a part of its first-ever One Piece collaboration, is also a lot more expensive despite being considerably smaller.
Some secret Lego sets can only be bought using Insider points, such asthe Mario Kart Spiny Shell set, andthe Sonic the Hedgehog Crabmeat set.
Marvel’s Daily Bugle set isn’t only great because it’s big. It’s the attention to detail when it comes to these larger Marvel sets that truly makes them special. Turn the set around once complete, and you’ll see various rooms, some of which those who have seen the Spidey movies will immediately recognize. The set also comes with 25 Minifigures based on famous heroes and villains from the Spider-Verse, including Spider-Gwen, Green Goblin, Mysterio, and, of course, J. Jonah Jameson. I mean, he’s the one running the place after all.
