LEGOs were one of my favorite toys growing up - the only limit to what you can create is your own imagination, and you can get lost for hours, just building and imagining what it would be like to live in or interact in the environment you just made.

Details such as the operating hours of the Deli are not overlooked as they are on the window, even an "OPEN" sign is there. The Doc Ock character lacks the pot-belly and man-boobs of his on-screen counterpart - the little character looks more like one of the children in "Village of the Damned" than Doc Ock, but I don't think kids are going to care. He has the flexi tenticles coming of his back - that's enough right here!

Also included are a clock and a very futuristic looking taxi with taxi driver included.

Because all LEGO sets are interchangable, your kids are not limited to the one rendition of the scene as it appears on the box. The sky's the limit with LEGO.

Eventhough your are not a lego fan, this toy is Terrific.
I wass a huge fan from the original spider-man comic book serie, and I always wanted a toy like this one.

"Spider-Man 2: Cafe Attack" represents the scene that we saw in the trailer for the blockbuster film from the summer of 2004 a gazillion times before the movie came out (and which surprisingly does not come until over halfway through the movie). Mary Jane is confronting Peter over their relationship, demanding to know if he loves her and insisting on a kiss, just to check something out, when he says he does not. The kiss, which was not going to be upside down, so it would not be like it was going to prove anything, is interrupted by Doctor Octopus tossing a sports car through the window.

This 132-piece LEGO set includes the figures of Spider-Man, Doctor Octopus, and a cab driver; if you want Mary Jane you have to pick up "Doc Ock's Hideout." You have the front of the cafe, the black car that Doc Ock tosses through the window to get Peter Parker's attention, and a cab for the poor cab driver who is caught in the middle of the fun to drive around. Yes, getting the Doctor Octopus figure posed the way you want can be tricky, but you have to admire the attempt to provide such an ambitious LEGO figure.

Other LEGO sets in the "Spider-Man 2" collection are "Spider-Man's Street Chase," "Doc Ock's Bank Robbery," "Spider-Man's Train Rescue," "Doc Ock's Fusion Lab," "Doc Ock's Crime Spree," and "Doc Ock's Hideout." You look at these titles and you are inclined to think that LEGO is siding with the super villain instead of the hero in this one. If you arrange these LEGO sets in the right order you can create a nice little series of tableau's representing the blockbuster film. "Doc Ock's Cafe Attack" certainly represents the signature scene in "Spider-Man 2," which made it to the Top 10 list for all-time money making movies this month.

Final Note: If you have not already, be sure to go to the LEGO site where you can check out their hilarious mini-movie with Spider-Man in "The Peril of Doc Ock." It is good to know that Spider-Man's webbing is strong enough to catch an elephant. You will also find Spider-Man LEGO comics and more cinematic fun with LEGO figures,
