Gee, some of those Juniors sets are a bit rough, aren't they?
Why does Spidey need a car, when swinging is so much cooler?
Venom is not the one with the vehicle, what a surprise.
Spider-Car
Spider-Car
He does whatever a spider car
Flying spider car. yay

To be fair, it's a flying car. At least, I think it's supposed to be; those are rather undersized wings.

What? Nonononono, duck-taping a pair of cheap plastic wings to the sides of your car does not automatically convey flight capabilities, even if it is a sub-sub-sub-sub-compact car that makes a Smartcar look roomy and luxuirious.
Guess it makes more sense than him being in an actual aircraft (ie. 76016)
This doesn't look like a pursuit. Venom is just standing there.
Funny enough just got back home from watching Spiderverse
I have this
@PurpleDave: Reads notation...processes...realizes...HANK! HAAAANK!!! SHUT "ER DOWN, AND STEER AWAY FROM THE CLIFF!!!...:D
I got this set through a bulk haul, soon I can try to put it together with my oldest grandson (4).
We recieved this as a gift. My son played with it a little and dumped it. I still have the minifigures in my collection. Hmmm, it just hit me, I may build a DC vs Mavel minifig diorama...

When I was a kid, the only equipment my Lego cars needed to fly was a set of tires with really, really grippy tread. Like, so grippy it could hold onto thin air. A little pair of wings on the side seems like plenty of equipment to convey flight capabilities compared to that!
Even for a Juniors set that seems like a pretty lacklustre side build, just a big old stack of grey
It's better than 10789
Spidey's eyes are pink. Don't let him touch you.
just got this on the second hand market. nice little build.
More than ten years already and we're still getting basically this set every once in a while.

Menacingly! In front of the world's smallest "skyscraper."

Depends on the two vehicles' maximum altitudes.
Venom is in a 4+ set but “too scary” for E and E10+ Fortnite gamemodes.

I suppose the difference being that as a minifig, the four year old determines how 'scary' Venom is/isn't, versus in the game where the developers would program the character to behave 'too scarily' according to how he behaves in comics, movies, etc.

Minifig is physically incapable of eating another minifig’s head off.

Venom could only serve as a player avatar in Lego Fortnite and would only be able to perform the same basic actions as any other character, but for some reason Lego still has his skin blacklisted from Lego Fortnite.
@cms02:
Venom is currently licensed to Sony as a Spiderman character. So that raises the question of whether any of the other characters under Sony's control have appeared in LEGO Fortnite, or if Venom is the only one affected by this.

Every Spider-Man character that has a skin in Fortnite also has a minifgure skin variant in the Lego mode with the exception of Venom and Carnage.
