Venomosaurus Ambush

"With a BrickScore of 78.3, Venomosaurus Ambush is a solidly recommended Marvel set — the Venom T-Rex is a genuinely impressive build, Spider-Ham alone justifies collector interest, and kids consistently love playing with it, even if the price feels slightly steep for what you get."

Reviewers across the board find the Venomosaurus Ambush to be a fun, well-designed Marvel set anchored by a striking black-and-white Venom T-Rex and an impressive five-minifigure lineup. The Venomosaurus itself earns consistent praise for its articulation, hidden abdomen cavity, and detailed head, while Spider-Ham and Iron Spider are singled out as standout minifigure inclusions. The main criticisms center on price-to-size ratio, a sticker-heavy Spider-Man buggy that feels like a filler build, and a few fiddly construction quirks like T-Rex claws that pop off easily. Overall enthusiasm is high among both kids and collectors.

Where they split: Expert reviewers (Brick Fanatics, Hoth Bricks) took a more measured stance on value — Hoth Bricks recommended waiting for a sale, while Brick Fanatics said buy now — whereas owner/buyer reviews were overwhelmingly enthusiastic with little price concern. The buggy sub-build divided opinion: Brick Fanatics called it a piece-count filler, while Hoth Bricks praised its suspension engineering.
