Sixty dollars for a statue with no minifig and 546 pieces is a hard sell — Carnage looks mean on a shelf but the price tag is meaner.
The parts alone are worth about 64% of the street price — the basis for this F price read.
OverpricedYou're paying well above the parts' value — $56 of parts for a $87 price.
Carnage as a LEGO® bust is a genuinely cool idea — the character's chaotic, tendrilly design translates well into brick form, and the finished piece has real shelf menace. The problem is LEGO® charged a premium for what is essentially a decorative sculpture with no minifig, no playset, no reason to exist except to sit there and look gnarly. At $59.99 that's a tough ask, and the price grade reflects it: an F is rare, and this set earned it. The build itself is competent — some interesting techniques in the symbiote tendrils — but 546 pieces doesn't add up to a satisfying session for experienced builders. Secondary market hasn't rewarded it the way villain busts sometimes do, so there's no rescue story there either. If you're a die-hard Carnage fan who needs this on a shelf, you'll find it; everyone else will find better ways to spend sixty bucks.
