Okay, so I was looking at the selection of Spider Man figs showed at ComicCon, and I was thinking about the kinds of sets they could make out of them. As far as I could tell, there were only two villains: Dr. Doom and Venom, and a Spidey set would need to have a good set of villains in addition to Spider and allies. Perhaps some of them are repeated thru the sets, like Loki was for the Avengers sets. But since there don't appear to be other Marvel character sets (No X-Men ) it looks like Spidey should get a wave all to himself. (Unless they combine the Marvel and DC waves next year, in which case it will be Batman and Spidey... but I'm assuming not.)
So, assuming Marvel had a line of spidey sets, I was wondering what they would be like. Specifically, what would a cheaper $11 set include? Both Venom and Dr. Doom seem likely to be in the expensive sets, but maybe there could see a small scene with Spider-Man vs Venom, set on a rooftop or sewer or something. Have simple bust useful scenery pieces.
But then I realized that they're probably just going to give Spider-Man his Spidey-Bike from the TV show, so the cheaper set will yet again be that stupid, overly large bike mold, with a handful of lame street-side pieces to bulk up the piece count.
That's my prediction. They did it with Catwoman's cycle and Captain America. They're going to do it for Spidey. I can just tell.
Oh well, I'm sure next year's wave of sets will be shown in the upcoming months, and then we'll know for sure. Just putting out my prediction.
Also, I wanted to point this out. The Spidey sets are based off the new Spider-Man cartoon, which I'm still kind meh about. But anyway, he had a super hero team he works with, and I noticed that Lego produced the two of the four who have white skin: Nova and Iron Fist. Can we not get more characters with other flesh tones? (Especially female ones?) Still waiting on a Storm minifig and a X-Men Blackbird model. (Hey, they made Phoenix, so there's still potential for more X-Men stuff.)
