Based on 8 reviews · thin
Mysterio on a monster truck is the kind of fever-dream mashup that makes you question everything — then buy it anyway. A C+ overall means it's fine, not special, but the minifig lineup salvages what the build can't.
Is the price fair?C+A hair overpriced for what lands in your hands — the Mysterio fig helps, but doesn't close the gap.
Will you love it?C+Fun for an afternoon, then it blends into the shelf — the concept is better than the execution.
Holds its value?CFlat resale story; Mysterio minifig interest keeps it from tanking, but don't expect a return.

The Full Take
Spider-Man's Monster Truck vs. Mysterio is the set that sounds way more exciting than it builds. The monster truck itself is chunky and fun for a few minutes, but 447 pieces don't add up to much shelf drama or build satisfaction — it's over fast and lands somewhere between 'pretty good' and 'could've been better.' Mysterio is the real prize here: that fishbowl helmet minifig is legitimately hard to source elsewhere and does most of the heavy lifting for this set's identity. The price is a mild sticking point — $39.99 for what you get feels a tick high, not highway robbery, but not a deal either. It's a solid kids' set wearing a collector's price tag, and the gap between those two things is where this one loses points.
