The Hulkbuster UCS by Raychow is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. Obviously, the build is based on the Hulkbuster seen in Avengers: Age of Ultron and the Hot Toys version. We already had an official version of the character with The Hulk Buster Smash (76031) but that one is puny compared to the detailing of the proposed one.
The Hulkbuster UCS project joins the Boat Repair Shop and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. “The Bus” as the projects that qualify the Third 2016 Review Stage.

When will people get it into their heads that TLG isn’t doing Ideas models based on existing licenses? At present the Lego Ideas website seems to be some kind of pointless online circle-jerk for people that don’t know that MOCpages and similar websites exist.
Agreed (maybe not in the language but the meaning). LEGO should simply remove any such submissions and send a note to the poster explaining the guidelines, instead of letting them build up votes like they have a shot of being made. I mean seriously LEGO, you cannot have one or two folks keep an eye on the Ideas submissions and set up a bot to report anything resembling a license type set to those two people to review?
Apparently, the rules actually refer to any existing licenses under the Ideas banner. I made a similar comment on a Lego Ideas FB post and this was the response: “The new rules only concern licenses that have been produced as LEGO Ideas sets, such as Wall-E, The Beatles and more.”
So once a licensed Ideas set is produced, they won’t accept any more ideas from the same license? That’s weird.
There is the Chinese way: Simply call the “Hulkbuster” as the Green Monster Smasher, or Golden-Red robot 🙂 (of course I am just joking)
Haven’t they already done something similar? Seems to me my grandson has a smaller version of that already.
yes they do and they wont make this. the ideas guidelines exclude current themes, and something this similar to a current model has no shot. Its also unlike the SHIELD set will qualify. Its sad because a set like this hitting 10k may actual reduce the likely hood of anything like it being made. they took a lot of flak for the Ghost Busters Headquarters being released, after the ideas version hit 10k. And its possible they will avoid any chance of that happening again.
Its an ‘alright’ design – its just a slightly larger stretched out version of the previous Hulkbuster set that we got. Honestly it seems a bit too thin and trying to claim it as a ‘UCS’ set doesn’t really work for me given this probably wouldn’t cost more than £30 to replicate as the pieces are not that rare – could probably work as a set, but they’ve already done it – so i hope we get the ‘Agents Of Shield’ set instead.
Congratulations The lego ideas Hulkbusters UCS Achices get 10,000 supporter it’s cool.
