4.0 out of 5 stars A little pricey for what you get, but worth it for the Hulk April 19, 2012

I'm a recent convert to the cult of Lego collecting. I grew up with the toys, but was brought back into the fold as an adult. And being a huge comic book fan growing up, this Marvel line has been something that I've really looked forward to.

Of all the Marvel sets, this was the one I was most waffling over purchasing. I really wanted the Hulk, but the set itself just didn't strike me as much as the others. After building, it's cooler than I thought, but still not the best option from the Marvel line.

MINIFIGS:

1. Hulk - The reason most will be buying this, I suspect. He's a little big and lacks any leg articulation, but those are minor quibbles because the figure itself is great. it looks really cool standing next to the other Avengers figures and can even hold them in his giant hands!

2. Thor - This is one of the two sets you can get Thor. He's pretty cool. His beard's a little darker than his hair, but the costume's great and the set comes with his trademark hammer.

3. Hawkeye - The other reason I wanted this set, since I'm not picking up the cheaper set that he's available in. His body's awesome (and he comes with a cool bow and arrow), but I'm not too impressed with the hair. It doesn't seem to match either the comic's version or Jeremy Renner's movie version of the character.

4. Loki - Loki's never been one of my favorite Marvel villains, but this figure's awesome. His staff comes apart to reveal a hidden dagger and his horned helmet is rubber so it's easily malleable.

SET:
The blue jet looks a lot cooler put together than it does on the box. Very sleek. The helicarrier lab, which I'm assuming recreates a scene from the movie, is kind of boring. The glass case that blows open to let Loki loose is a neat feature. The rest feels a little underthought, especially the right-hand side of the playset, which pretty much amounts to a blank platform. If they would have thrown in a Nick Fury minifig with this, I think it would have more than justified the high price point. Still cool, though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Average set but nice LEGO mini-figs May 11, 2012

Like another reviewer stated, I got this set mainly to get the Hulk. My husband and I put the set together last night and here are my thoughts on it:

The set is just average. There are clever and fun parts like the clear panel holding Loki that comes out with a push of a button and the top of the jet that can pop out. However, the overall set just feels lacking to me. There was no sense of "oh my gosh...that's The Black Pearl/Millennium Falcon" when I was done with the set. But I chalk that up to the fact that The Avengers didn't have a whole lot of memorable locations and vehicles. At the very least, they could throw in a couple of random SHIELD agents to man all those "computers" since I don't think Thor, Loki, or the Hulk would be up to using those fancy gadgets.

The mini-figs are pretty awesome. It's a bit disappointing that the Hulk's legs can't articulate. But it's cute how he can grab other LEGO mini-figs. Thor and Hawkeye both have two faces so you can choose between angry and serious with a turn of their heads. I kinda wish it was a choice between angry and happy since I like my mini-figs silly looking. For some reason, Loki only has one expression. Maybe he's too dignified to be angry?

So overall, it's pretty fun to put together but it didn't give me the sense of satisfaction LEGO sets usually give me. I'm not rating this toy's educational value since I got it for myself for the fun of putting LEGOs together. And LEGOs are damn durable. Just put them out of reach of puppies and my nephews and they should last past my lifetime. Usually, I get LEGO sets for the sets. But I have to say, for their superhero line, I'm mostly getting their sets for the mini-figs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really cool and Definitely worth the Price once you Buy May 28, 2012

I got it for $49.95 with Prime - Purchased this on Amazon because of Free Shipping and No Tax with Prime. After seeing the movie and being a nerd for those types of things I had to have this set. Its the only one with the Hulk, and its pretty cool. Comes with a few super heroes. The Set resembles the scene in the movie pretty well. Would have been cool if they put in Bruce Banner himself, but nonetheless its a real neat set. I'm glad Lego is trying new things with their products. Its a pretty good value overall if you buy it for a child because you get a few pieces. Also the Hulk isn't available in any other set and hes pretty much worth it alone. Pretty cool character.
