Sorry, MegaBloks now holds the license for Spider-man 3. AFAIK LEGO hasn't said
anything about letting the license lapse and MegaBloks hasn't issued any press
releases about obtaining the license. However, in the last 2 weeks I have seen 5
different MegaBloks sets at TRU bearing the Spider-man 3 movie logo. For the
curious those sets are:
1947 Spider-man $6.99 (with 40 pcs. to build a 'Spider-car')
1948 Symbiote Spider-man $6.99 (with 45 pcs. to build a 'Spider-boat')
1949 Battle-damage Spider-man $6.99 (with 45 pcs. to build a 'Spider-plane')
1926 Spider-man $9.99 (with 92 pcs. to build a red and blue 'Spider-mech')
1927 Symbiote Spider-man $9.99 (with 85 pcs. to build a black and silver
'Spider-mech')
I found it interesting that the sets were all named for the minifigure included
rather than for the vehicle itself. And I seriously doubt that any of the
vehicles will make an appearance in the movie. MegaBloks is no doubt trying to
make sets that appeal to kids, but I still prefer LEGOs approach of making sets
that actually reflect what is in the movies.
As for the minifigures, they are the new designs that have articulated knees and
elbows. I didn't compare the sets, but I'm almost certain that the Spider-man in
sets 1947 and 1926 are identical, as are the symbiote Spider-man in sets 1948
and 1927.
Presumably there will be larger sets forthcoming that will actually contain
villians.
