Spider-Man vs. Oscorp

"A BrickScore of 50.5 places Spider-Man vs. Oscorp firmly in the Skip It tier, with both expert reviewers agreeing the debut of Oscorp is undermined by sparse interiors, corner-cut minifigures, and a price-per-piece of 17.3 cents that is not supported by what ends up in the box. The high owner rating (4.72/5 across 262 ratings) reflects younger fans' enjoyment of the play features, but critics and serious collectors are unlikely to find value at $139.99."

Both expert reviewers reached the same verdict on Spider-Man vs. Oscorp: an overpriced, under-detailed set that squanders the long-awaited LEGO debut of Oscorp Tower. Jay's Brick Blog and Brickset both praised the Green Goblin and Norman Osborn minifigures as highlights, and acknowledged solid play value for young fans, but condemned the $139.99 price for roughly 800 pieces (17.3 cents per piece) as difficult to justify against sparse interiors, corner-cut minifigures, and a building that looks more like a basic grey rectangle than an iconic skyscraper. Owner ratings (4.72/5 across 262 ratings) sit significantly higher than expert scores, reflecting a clear critic-vs-buyer split.

Where they split: The most significant split is between expert reviewers and the buying public. Both Jay's Brick Blog (60) and Brickset (40) recommended skipping or waiting, while 262 owner ratings average 4.72/5, suggesting younger or less critical buyers are genuinely happy with the set. Brickset also noted potential clearance-sale value in buying multiples, which Jay's Brick Blog did not discuss.
