"A visually arresting collector's bust that lands firmly in Mixed Reviews at a BrickScore of 59.6 due to mediocre parts value and frustrating sticker use, but owners rate it 4.6 out of 5 and investment data shows strong aftermarket appreciation for patient buyers."
The Carnage Helmet (76199) sits at Mixed Reviews with a BrickScore of 59.6, reflecting a genuine split between its strengths and limitations as an 18+ collectible. Investment-focused reviewers from Wolf of Bricks praised the set enthusiastically and documented strong aftermarket appreciation, while the broader consensus flags a parts value and value-for-money that trail the set's striking visual appeal. Owner response tells a different story from the critics: 550 buyers across Amazon and LEGO.com average 4.6 out of 5, and 95% say they would recommend it, suggesting that fans of the character are largely delighted in person.
Where they split: The BrickScore of 60.6 reflects critic-level mixed sentiment, driven by the parts value and sticker complaints, while 550 owners rate it 4.6 out of 5 with a 95% recommendation rate. That gap is real: fans of Carnage who display it are far more satisfied than the aggregate expert score implies.
