This feature-packed Spidey building toy includes a pirate ship, Spider Island with a slide, Green Goblin’s ship and a smaller boat. There’s a cannon on the pirate ship, a disc shooter on the island and shooters on Green Goblin’s ship.
The Green Goblin in his “ship”
Spidey’s web rope can be used to catch a fish, a treasure chest or Goblin’s ship. This Spider-Man gift for fans of Spidey And His Amazing Friends comes with colorful pictorial instructions, a Starter Brick and separate bags containing 1 buildable model per bag to make creative construction fast and fun.
This must be the fort on Spider Island
And, with the LEGO® Builder app, kids can zoom, rotate in 3D and track progress with simple digital instructions. Building set contains 201 pieces.
The app is the map to build the set
LEGO Pirate Parts
Most AFOLs probably don’t give a fig about a set aimed at wee nippers.
But there be useful parts abound, most notably a firing cannon!
Let’s hope these parts find their into future pirate sets
A generous number of fans were dismayed when they discovered 10365 Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship sported brick-built cannons in favour of the moulded cannon parts we know and love. So it’s reassuring to learn they’re still being churned out in the factory.
Hull parts in blue
Spidey’s ship is built upon blue hull parts – always useful for expanding your Imperial Armada’s armada beyond its flagship.
The set also offers a map, treasure chest, lantern, oar, telescope, mast, crows nest, shark and flag in cyan blue.
Look out! This set has one of them blue flame throwers!
Oh, and a ladder, so yer minifigs don’t need to levitate to access the next floor… like they did in the early Soldier sets.
Yer probably won’t be using that sail in yer LEGO Pirate builds
These useful elements probably don’t warrant a sale, so buy this set for yer kiddiwinks and then pillage all the good bits!
What Do Yer Think?
Has the LEGO Group jumped on the shark or be this the cross-over we desperately need in our lives?
Or be ye both a LEGO Pirates and Spiderman fan, and think this concept is absolutely fan-floggin-tastic?
Share the love of LEGO Pirates and Spiderman this Christmas
Well, at very least, the set provides an insight towards which pirate-themed elements are in production for the immediate future.
And now… With great sets, comes great discussions, so tell us whether 11208 Team Spidey Pirate Ship be worth a cracker in the .
