Based on 11 reviews · thin
Scarlet Spider getting his own Mighty Micros set is a W for the deep-cut Spider-Man fans — but nine dollars for 89 pieces in 2018 was already pushing it, and this one has never really recovered from that starting point.
Is the price fair?FTight piece count at $9.99 made this a tough sell at launch and it still is.
Will you love it?B+The Scarlet Spider minifig alone earns this — it's the only LEGO® version he's ever had.
Holds its value?C-Retired and modestly scarce, but secondary prices have barely budged — this one's flat.

The Full Take
The Mighty Micros line had a gift for distilling iconic characters into something small and goofy, and Scarlet Spider's inclusion here is a genuine surprise. Sandman's little car — built from tan bricks with a wave silhouette — is the kind of detail that makes you appreciate what LEGO® could do with a constrained format. The minifigs are the draw: a proper Scarlet Spider hoodie-print and a solid Sandman both hold up years later. The build itself is fast and forgettable, more of a five-minute warm-up than a session. At launch this felt like a tough ask at $9.99 for the piece count, and secondary market prices haven't moved enough to justify buying it as anything other than a character grab. If you need Scarlet Spider on your shelf or in your collection, this is the only LEGO® option — and that scarcity is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
