The Man of Steel is now less than a week away, and for many fans, the anticipation is getting nearly unbearable. To make the time go a littler faster you can watch a 13-minute Man of Steel making-of featurette or

Superman: Black Zero Escape

Or--and this is the most fun of all--you can clack together some awesome Man of Steel LEGO. There are three movie-based sets to choose from ripped directly from scenes from the film. We take a closer look at the sets and mini-figures below:Man of Steel is at its heart a science fiction movie and two of the three sets are heavily sci-fi themed. This is a fun set with great mini-figures (love little details, like Lois' vest) and does a good job of replicating one of the key scenes in the movie. Bonus points for the awesome drawing of the floating Superman mini figure on the box... Don't know why that gets me.

Superman: Metropolis Showdown

Here's a closer look at the pieces of the set:The smallest and least expensive of the three sets, this one features a simple tableau of Superman squaring off against Zod (sans armor this time). As with most mini-figures these days, the heads feature two expressions, and in this case, we get to see Superman's heat vision eyes, which look pretty menacing.

Superman Battle of Smallville

Here's a closer look at the elements in this smaller set:The battle mentioned in the title is one of the key action set pieces in the film. The alien craft is the centerpiece, and it's a brilliant work of art. Three hatch doors open with spaces for mini-figures, the stabilizers at the back of the back of the craft open up and are poseable, and it fires rubber darts that actually shoot with some punch. Plus, there's Col. Hardy's Jeep and five mini-figures! If you're only going to get one Man of Steel set, this is the one.

Let's take a look at this set up close:
