$24.99 for a Venom bust that clocks in under 300 pieces — LEGO® is charging premium and delivering budget. The figure itself has a certain wild-eyed charm, but this price point is a hard sell when better brick-built figures exist for less.

The Full Take
The Venom Figure set has one job: put a menacing symbiote on your shelf. It mostly delivers on vibes — the angular jaw, the white eyes, and that unhinged grin read well from across a room. But crack open the price tag and the math doesn't add up; 297 pieces at $24.99 is steep for what amounts to a bust with limited build complexity. There are no minifigs, no alternate display options, no playable element — this is purely a shelf piece, and it has to justify itself on looks alone. For casual Marvel fans it scratches an itch, but dedicated collectors will feel the gap between what LEGO® charged and what they delivered. If you love Venom specifically, you'll probably still enjoy having it. Everyone else should wait for a sale.
