"The Menace of Mysterio earns a middling BrickScore of 49.7 — a fun, instantly playable set for young Marvel fans anchored by an excellent comic-accurate Mysterio minifig and entertaining mech, but undermined by a weak helicopter, thin building experience, and a price that outpaces the content."
Reviewers are split along age lines: younger builders and their parents/grandparents tend to love the set for its immediate playability and fun characters, while more analytical reviewers find it overpriced, under-complex, and propped up largely by the new Mysterio minifigure. The Mysterio mech is broadly praised as the highlight, but the Spider-Man helicopter is widely criticized as weak design. At $30–€34.99 for a 4+ set, both critical reviewers flagged the price as hard to justify.
Where they split: Buyer/parent reviewers on LEGO.com awarded near-perfect scores and emphasized how much young children enjoyed the set, especially the mech. Critical reviewers (Hoth Bricks, JANG) gave scores of 55 and 45 respectively, focusing on the weak helicopter design, overpricing, and shallow build experience — a clear generational and audience-based split.
