Wanted this set for a while and being a big Spider-man fan and even bigger Venom fan I finally bought it today.
First off I got it with a decent discount but even if I'd have paid full price I still wouldn't feel ripped off. This set is good value for money imo.
Lets start off with the minifigs; the new spider-man looks absoloutly brilliant, one of the best figs i've seen. Great print and lovely colour design. Makes the old prints look basic to say the least. The Venom looks great too. Aunt May is perfect and Spider-Gwen (Ghost Spider) is good too.
The build is enjoyable, the Spider-mech looks great and reminds me of the heavy hauler Ripley used in Aliens film. Spider gwens hover board is nice but maybe the stud shooters could do with being parallel to the board? (minor gripe maybe). But the main build is the large Venom-mech and it looks brilliant, the articulation is great and really does look like a supersized Venom.
Only issue is the amount of stickers in this set but it's to be expected in a marvel set tbh and any printed parts would have bumped the price up so in a way i'm glad they're stickers as much as I hate to say that lol.
I know people have complained about this wave of Spider-man sets being all mech/robo sets and even with them being released to coincide with the Spider-verse film none really have anything to do with the film other than a few minifig characters but don't let that put you off what is a great set for all ages and one of my favourite sets I've built recently and probably will be up there with my favourite sets I own.
A great value set, with great minifigs and fun buld that gives you a great playset or display one.
Keep up the great work Lego with the Marvel ones and if the far from home sets are to go by won't hve to wait long.
