"Ghost Rider Mech and Bike is a character-driven impulse buy that fans of Johnny Blaze will enjoy, but with a BrickScore of 49.7 it falls into Skip It territory: the price per piece is high, the parts selection is thin, and there is not enough building complexity to justify the cost for anyone who is not already sold on the character."
The Ghost Rider Mech and Bike (76245) earned a BrickScore of 49.7, placing it in the Skip It tier based on expert consensus that the mech format underdelivers on parts value, playability, and value for money at $34.99 for 264 pieces. There is a sharp split with real buyers, however: 1,056 owner ratings average 4.78 out of 5 across Amazon, Walmart, and LEGO.com, with 86% saying they would recommend it. Owners consistently highlight the Ghost Rider minifigure and the fun of the mech-plus-bike combination, but these are casual buyer ratings that skew toward the positive for any completed LEGO build.
Where they split: The gap between the expert BrickScore of 49.7 (Skip It) and the owner average of 4.78 out of 5 is the defining tension of this set. Expert reviewers penalized the parts value, playability depth, and price efficiency, while buyers respond primarily to character appeal and the fun of completing any LEGO build. These are genuinely different signals measuring different things.
