"With a BrickScore of 66.4, Spider-Man Race Car & Venom Green Goblin is a fun but formulaic kids' set that lives or dies by its one genuine showpiece — the Venomized Green Goblin — while its recycled supporting minifigures and questionable premise hold it back from being a must-buy at full price."
Reviewers broadly agree that 76279 is a decent but unremarkable entry-level Marvel set whose headline attraction is the Venomized Green Goblin minifigure — a genuinely unique, well-executed figure with a double-sided partially/fully venomized head and convincing torso printing. The race car itself is colourful, all-printed (no stickers), and packs fun stud-shooter play features, but both sources flag the recycled Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy/Ghost Spider minifigures as a significant limitation. The set is squarely aimed at kids and casual Marvel fans rather than serious collectors.
Where they split: Reviewers mostly aligned, but BricksFanz scored minifigures notably lower (55) than Hoth Bricks (68), reflecting a sharper disappointment with the recycled Spider-Man and Ghost Spider figures. Both still converge on the Venomized Green Goblin as the sole minifigure highlight.

"Not enough to get up at night with this little set without great pretensions but there is still plenty of fun to be had with three characters all equipped with their means of transport."
