LEGO SET 76279 - Alternate build | Spider-Man Race Car & Venom Green Goblin L

May 5, 2025

Exploring the hidden potential of your LEGO parts is one of the most rewarding aspects of building, and the pieces in set 76279-1—Spider-Man Race Car & Venom Green Goblin—offer a surprisingly versatile palette. Beyond the dynamic duo theme, these elements can be reimagined into sleek hypercars, nimble riders, and even multi-model mashups. Whether you’re chasing speed, sculpting character, or experimenting with modular designs, these builds show how a limited part inventory can still unlock endless creativity.

From high-performance vehicles to imaginative 5-in-1 composites, each alternate build demonstrates a different facet of design thinking:

Emphasize Form Over Function
By focusing on the silhouette and proportions of a vehicle—like in the Spider Hypercar—builders learn to maximize impact with minimal bricks.
Play with Color Blocking
The contrasting reds, blacks, and greens in the original set translate beautifully into new motifs: notice how the RED RIDER repurposes the green elements into highlights against a primarily red frame.
Modular Mashups
The 5IN1 mocs build illustrates how you can take core subassemblies and recombine them into multiple, distinct models—great practice for optimizing part usage.
Character-Driven Design
The Spidercar and Spider Rider show that even simple builds can convey personality, using headlight elements as “eyes” or handlebars as “web shooters.”

Whether you’re a seasoned MOC-ist or just diving into custom builds, these designs encourage you to look past instructions and see each part’s hidden potential. Ready to explore? Here are five inspiring models you can build using only the parts from set 76279-1:
