I made an extra post about it here: http://www.toyark.com/info-toy-biz-m...street-178595/

I got that back when it was new and actually still have it (except for maybe the stretchy web piece). So the sticky, stretchy web thing (not pictured) was meant to be latched onto the various small hooks on the wall and dumpster with the intention being that you put a bad guy behind it so it looks like Spidey caught them in a web. The back of the dumpster has an armature which extends and has a grabbing claw like end, you put Spidey's waist into the end, extend the arm, pull the entire piece to one side until it clicks into place, and then press down on the garbage can to make him jump or flip or whatever the gimmick was supposed to be. You have to extend the entire dumpster section forward to do any of that though. The coolest part to me was the magnets in Spidey's feet (really they are his feet) which work on the set with the sign on the wall and the floor of the balcony, of course then they also worked on any other surface which magnets could go on. There was also then a pole thing which attached to the top of the set that you could have Spidey hang on to with the plastic web that went around his arm (pictured there hanging on a wall hook), then you could spin it around with Spidey on or just have him hang off it for some other poses. There's also then a hook on the end of a line which can be cranked out and attached to the pipe top piece to create a sort of zip-line but I never found that to work all that well. I don't know if that eBay picture is all you're getting or if the description mentioned more but just based on that picture you won't be getting the stretchy web thing, the armature, or the pipe piece. It's still a really cool diorama without that stuff though and if you mainly got it for display then you're not really gonna want the armature at all anyway.
