My four year old son received this playset as a gift. It was fairly easy to put together, but fell apart as he tried to play with it. The set comes with a Spiderman with magnets on his hands and feet. Spiderman is supposed to be catapulted from a spring board onto the metal portions of the playset, but the momentum is too great and Spiderman seldom sticks. My son loved sticking the Spiderman to the refrigerator and anything else metal he could find. However, after two or three days the magnets fell out of both of his feet. He playset now sits in the box and now Spiderman only sticks to fridge with his hands. If your child loves Spiderman like mine, invest in the Spiderman action figures and let your child create their own adventures for Spiderman.

I have a beautiful 6-year-old boy ho loves Spiderman! He got this as a birthday present. I am disappointed with the pile of junk he got! The whole system is unstable it falls apart very easy, the magnets on feet and hand of Spiderman are very powerful and stick and hold very well, but fell out the very next day. The net is supposed to be somewhat retractable, it does not work. The best thing about this toy is the box. DO NOT BUY IT!!!

My 5 year old son got this for his birthday from his grandmother. I couldn't believe how cheaply made it was. It was very unstable which frustated my son and myself. Because it is a spiderman toy my son won't give it up, otherwise it would have been in the trash by now.

I have been purchasing toys as a father for over 14 years and I have never purchased a more worthless toy in my life. The construction is so flimsy that it is an absolute chore just to stand the play set up. I thought that I had purchased a defective playset, but after reading other reviews I realize that they are all this poorly made. My son was so looking forward to this playset and he can't even play with it. They should all be recalled as they are worthless!! I wish we had read the reviews before we purchased. We are going to attempt to return- it is that bad.

I bought this toy for my boys for their birthday. It was always in a broken pile on their floor. It does not stand up so you can play with it. I would not recommend this toy. I already took it back to the store.

Save your money. My 7 year old son was bored with it after about ten minutes. The web trap is already broken as well. Go for the Power Rangers Megazords. My son and nephew both love them!

I saw the reveiws, but my son had his own money and wanted to buy it so I let him. Well, For starters there are two tall heavy structures being supported by a thin bridge-like peice that is supposed to snap together. Well, we designed a little brace for that because it never stays together. The Web trap was broken from the start, and the sky wire doesn't fit properly and comes undone when used. That is only the start of the construction issues. If you are creative, there are ways to fix these problems, but I don't like having to pay the price to reconstruct it when I get it home.

As far as the entertainment value, my son really does like it. We have it almost permanently set on his book shelf so it is not as likely to fall apart, but he does play with it often. There are some neat feature, like Jameson peaking out of the back, and of course the magnetic spiderman that stands sideways on my refridgerater most of the time.

My advice is not to buy this. It is too much money for little quality. I just hope my son has learned a little lesson about what you see is not always what you get.

I read the other negative reviews for this toy, and thought, "I'll play WITH my child and have fun together." That way I figured I could get it put together properly. But guess what, the other reviews are right. Even with an adult sitting right there, this toy falls apart...not to mention needing quite a bit of assembly in the first place. PLUS we also were not able to get Spiderman to ever launch right, which greatly reduces any fun of this toy. After just a few minutes, my child decided on his own that we needed to send this toy back and get something different.

No stars for this awful thing. My kids begged for this and we got it for Christmas. It was falling apart as we put it together. Finally my husband mounted it on wood with glue, nails and velcro (crazy that we paid 35.00 and we had to MOUNT it) and it stayed together a little better. It is all posterboard and plasitc chip pieces, if Spiderman tried to slide down the web, the toy would implode. It was pretty much in the trash can by the end of the week. Wish it would have been made better.

Do not waste your money, even $10 (what I paid at the local toy store). In just a few hours, multiple important plastic pieces have broken, was even gently used. Even before plastic pieces started breaking, our family did not even think it was very fun.
