Introduction
Hey guys memez2002 here with my FIRST review! And I am thrilled to be reviewing a Juniors set. While it's gotten lots of hate and bad reviews I personally see a silver lining for this set and the Juniors line in general. Hopefully this review will make you want to buy this right after you read it!
Price
I'm disgraced about the price it's $12.99. I didn't think it was worth it after reading lots of reviews that said it was bad... I can't see why though it's a very good set.
So let's get onto the set!
The Box
The box is very small for a $12.99 set, so it's very small and barely has that many pieces included!
The front is basic it has the LEGO and Juniors logo on the top. The box also has a nice little graphic of him ripping right through the box. The info about the set (Which is listed above) is always as it has been. The model on the box shows off the "Spider-Car" and Venom! This set also includes a wall with an antenna. The background is just some city buildings.
Opening the box
The contents of the box were:
- 1 Instruction booklet, which has the same artwork as the front of the box.
- 2 One bag containing the pieces
The Minifigures!
I speak the truth when I say "I always build the minifigures first", it's pretty normal for me.
The Spider-Man figure. Nothing special to see here.
The venom minifigure included is identical to his other one but with fewer accessories.
Spider-Man He is identical to all his other appearances, The printing on the torso is great! It shows a detailed web design. The suit has no leg printing but the same speedo thing that Superman has.
Venom It's onto Venom who is great in my opinion! The face is nice but has no hair piece. The torso is great for LEGO army customizers or customizers in general. it features a large spider and abs. The only thing I don't like is the accessory he holds, I don't mind him the way LEGO made him though. Lastly he has some very nice black legs.
The Build
The build was very simple and is easy for everyone, I like the shape of the vehicle too. Nothing really bad about the build other than it was a small build for a 12.99$ set. I just wish they worked on the wall more because I don't think it holds the web well enough with only one clip. The car is pretty cool but I don't understand it honestly. Why make so many spider vehicles?
My thoughts
So I have come down the this ending. . .
- Build 4/10 It was very easy so I docked it points because of it.
- Minifigures 6/10 The Spider-man included is the same as every other one and the Venom minifigure just has less accessories than his predecessor.
- Pieces 7/10 A couple nice new pieces such as the car body. If you just just wanted to create a MOC this would be a great set.
- Box 5/10 It was nothing special, there was not a lot of features show don the back of the product's box.
- Play features 7/10 It isn't much of a pursuit considering Venom's lack of vehicle, but still has great play-ability.
END SCORE 29/50 Pretty bad. If you like Spider man this is kind of your only choice for juniors. If you don't want the set it's OK but I think the main part of the set is some of the pieces out of it for older audiences.

This was the first Super Heroes set I planned to not buy since the release of the theme in 2012. But then I saw how cheap it was, and I thought I may as well.
The Box
I don't usually care much about the box, but this one got my attention, because of some of the details on it-
- The top, instead of featuring a minifigure at 1:1 scale as usual, randomly features a wheel
- The advertising for how easy Juniors is on the back doesn't really make sense to me-
- Pre-packed bags - don't all LEGO sets have pre-packed bags (or in this case, bag)
- Easy instructions - they're no easier than normal (you can't get much easier than normal LEGO instructions). Unless having a picture of a minifigure with a magnifying glass on every second page somehow helps. All he did was just confuse me, I still don't know what he's doing there.
- Quick start - ? I don't get what this means.
- I believe these details are on all Juniors boxes (at least something similar was on the box for the Juniors Batcave), so it's nothing weird about this specific set. Of course, none of this even really matters, it's all about the set itself.
The set
- Spider-Man's car
OK, so it doesn't look amazing, and most of the car is made up of one big red car shell piece. However, there's nothing particularly wrong with it, being this small, you can't get too much more detail. One really good thing about this set (and the Batcave as well) is that there are no stickers- the front piece with the spider on it and the headlights are all printed on. Presumable this is done so kids don't have to worry about messing stickers up (something I never do myself, only on nearly every set I build), but it would be nice to see this being done again on a wider range of sets, so the serious collectors out there can build detailed sets and don't have to worry about applying stickers (and having them degrade over time). All in all, there's nothing too special or interesting about the car except for the printed parts, but I don't dislike it. Also, I do think it looks better in real life than it does on the box.
- Venom's wall
It's as simple as it looks. Basically a few 2 x 4 bricks stacked onto a platform, and some bricks to attach the web to. Again, nothing special or anything to talk about, but with the web to tie Venom up in, it's not a bad play feature.
The minifigures
- Spider-Man
We've all seen him before, however this time he comes with a red hip joint instead of a blue one. While probably not accurate to the comic books or movies, it does help to break up the blue a bit more, and being more a fan of the 2002-2007 Spider-Man trilogy than the more recent depictions of him, I'm happy to see more red on his suit.
- Venom
Venom's the same as the one we've seen before, except with only one smaller bomb and no tentacles attached to his back. He still looks great, I think like Spider-Man, he'd appeal to little kids as a minifigure, and it's a nice cheap way to pick him up if you don't already have him.
Overall
If you don't already have Venom from 76004 and you even only slightly want him- get this set. I doubt there's a much cheaper way to get him, even buying him online opened and used wouldn't be much cheaper than getting this set, and you get a Spider-Man and about 50 other parts along with it. If you already have Venom, it's very likely you'll already have Spider-Man, so it's not really about the figures unless you just feel like getting another Venom. As I've said, there's nothing particulary special about the set- but I'm glad I got it. It's a nice quick build, I've got some small models to add to my Super Heroes collection, and I'd say it's definitely got good value for money.
