Based on 8 reviews · thin
Three iconic characters crammed into a $20 set that can't quite hold them — Carnage deserves better than this backdrop, and so does your shelf.
Is the price fair?D+$20 for this much set is a tough sell — LEGO® leaned hard on the name value here.
Will you love it?C+The minifig trio is the whole argument; the build itself is forgettable filler.
Holds its value?C-Flat resale potential — character sets at this scale rarely move the needle after retirement.

The Full Take
Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, and Carnage in one box sounds like a dream lineup until you see what LEGO® actually built around them. The set is essentially a thin pretext — a small Carnage symbiote structure and a couple of web elements — to deliver three minifigs at a price that doesn't pencil out. At $19.99 for 221 pieces, the build itself wraps up in twenty minutes and doesn't leave much impression on a shelf. That said, the Carnage minifig is legitimately striking — the printed detail on that torso does work — and Ghost Rider with his flamed-up bike is a combination that rarely shows up at this price tier. It's the set you buy for the characters and forgive for everything else, which is either fine or frustrating depending on how much you care about what surrounds them.
