I’ve always had an interest in the Star Wars expanded Universe, I love the way that shows like Star Wars Rebels bridge the huge gap between the movies and introduce us to new and exciting characters. However, since Disney announced that pretty much anything outside of the movies is now considered non-canonical, the impact of

Fear not, however, because off screen the skull-headed demonic anti-hero is actually pretty awesome after all, teaming up with
When it comes to Marvel Comics, I’ve always had one favourite, it isn’t Iron Man or Captain America, it’s a favourite that I share with his creator, the legendary Stan Lee. I am of course referring to your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man. Pieces: 1092 Set Number: 76057 Minifigures: Spider-Man, Scarlet Spider, Spider-Girl, Aunt May, Green Goblin, Kraven The
