The Hulk Truck vs. Thanos

"Scoring a BrickScore of 65, The Hulk Truck vs. Thanos is a solid, unpretentious kids' play set with a fun monster truck gimmick and a noteworthy new Thanos torso, but recycled Hulk parts, a bare-bones truck interior, and US overpricing keep it from being a recommendation for anyone outside its core young audience."

Both reviewers land at the same score and share a mixed-but-leaning-playful verdict: 76312 is a competent, fun monster truck build for young kids that doesn't do anything surprising or essential. The Hulk-driving-a-truck concept is admittedly quirky and charming, the functional rubber-insert suspension is a nice engineering touch for the piece count, and the new Thanos torso with metallic gold armour is the standout collectible highlight. However, both critics flag the same structural frustrations — no doors, an empty truck bed, recycled Hulk components, and purple (not dual-moulded) legs — and neither reviewer sees it as a must-own for adults or collectors.

Where they split: Brickset recommends skipping the set (especially at US pricing), while Hoth Bricks leans toward a buy, considering the European price point reasonable and the overall package worthwhile for its audience. Both agree on the mixed quality, but differ on whether that clears the bar for a purchase recommendation.
