The LEGO® Daily Bugle #76178 retired in late 2025, with final LEGO.com availability recorded November 19, 2025. It retailed for $349.99.
The minifig monster of the Marvel line
The Daily Bugle's headline number was never its 3,772 pieces. It was the cast: 25 minifigures, a record for any Marvel set at its 2021 release and still fifth on our all-time most-minifigures ranking. The lineup mixed A-listers with characters so deep in the Spider-Man bench that their minifigs became instant conversation pieces, and at $14.00 per figure the math worked before you built a single floor of the tower.
Four years later the presses stopped: expected exit logged for the end of 2025, last LEGO.com availability November 19. The demand tail is long. 4,931 Brickset members still want one against 15,144 owners, a Heat Index of 96.3, and single minifigures from this set now circulate the aftermarket like currency.
Finding one now
Recent retirees follow a pattern: months of lingering marketplace stock at near-retail, then the slow climb. The Bugle retired under a year ago, so patient hunting can still pay. Check the search below, and if you only care about specific minifigures, buying figures individually sometimes beats buying the tower.
Frequently Asked Questions
When did the LEGO® Daily Bugle retire?
Late 2025. Brickset logged its expected exit for the end of 2025, and LEGO.com availability ended November 19, 2025, wrapping a four-and-a-half-year run that started in June 2021.
How many minifigures does the Daily Bugle have?
25, a record for Marvel sets when it launched and still one of the highest counts ever. Only the 2025 Death Star (40) and Avengers Tower (32) and a couple of castles beat it on our census.
What was the Daily Bugle's retail price?
$349.99 US, which works out to $14.00 per minifigure with a 3,772-piece skyscraper thrown in.
Is the Daily Bugle worth more now that it is retired?
We do not publish market values (yet), so we will not pretend to a number. The demand signal we can verify: nearly five thousand collectors have it on their Brickset want lists as of our latest refresh, and its Heat Index sits in the top few percent of all sets.
