Lego Spider-Man
Lego Spider-Man is a product range of the Lego construction toy, based on the first two Spider-Man movies. The theme was first introduced in 2002 as a sub-brand of the Lego Studios theme, to tie in with the release of the first Spider-Man film. Three new sets were released in 2003, this time without the Lego Studios branding. In 2004, seven new sets were introduced, to tie-in with the Spider-Man 2 movie. After this, the line was discontinued, and the rights to the third film in the series Spider-Man 3 were sold instead to rival company MEGA Brands, resulting in a Spider-Man 3 range of the Mega Bloks toy. However, in 2012 LEGO revived the theme, starting with several waves of sets based on the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series in their Marvel Superheroes line.

Discontinuation
After 2004, no new Lego Spider-Man sets were released, despite the release of the third film in the franchise, Spider-Man 3. Instead, rival toy company MEGA Brands, who produce the Lego-compatible product Mega Bloks, entered into a multi-year licensing deal with Marvel Enterprises, giving them the rights to produce 'playsets, vehicles and other building-themed products' based upon Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Hulk, Captain America, Daredevil, Silver Surfer, Punisher, Blade and Namor.[1] It is unknown whether Lego intended to discontinue the Spider-Man license or were out-bid.
Comeback
Spider-Man returned in the Marvel sub-theme Lego Super Heroes. The first line of sets were based on the Ultimate Spider-Man TV series, with the first set released in 2012, but Lego later also released sets based on the two Spider-Man films set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home, as well as the inclusion of Spider-Man in one set based on Captain America: Civil War (which marked Spider-Man's debut in the MCU) and one based on Avengers: Infinity War. Another line of original Spider-Man sets was started in 2019.
