Not a fan of the microfigures, could have had Agent Coulson or Bruce Banner, but instead we had them. Too many microfigures and too many small jets/vehicles that serve to add to the price count with tiny pieces.
Those micro figures arms and legs don’t move right? They kinda looked like they did.
They don’t
Not familiar with light or motor kits. Anyone with experience, can you tell me if I just need one of each of the 3 items listed for lights and motors? I understand no one here has seen the actual item but I was just hoping experience may dictate an answer.
Given the size of the model I’m actually a little surprised at the price. I think the Star Destroyer (not the UCS model) is priced at somewhere around $120-$150. $349 is a bit high… ah who am I kidding, I’ll probably buy it regardless. Damn my love of Marvel movies and Lego!!!
Good call, Scarilian. BOTH of those minifigures would have made this set that much more awesome, and definitely a required purchase for collectors.
Have zero interest in the movie tie ins (same with Iron Man, Amazing Spider-Man, and Man of Steel sets). Would really like to see more of the comic book versions of the Marvel heroes. For instance, I’d love to see a minifigure of Hawkeye in his traditional purple costume.
We all have minifigure wishlists and dream sets in mind, and just because those don’t always get fulfilled doesn’t make this beautiful set anything less than a masterpiece.
As regrettable as it is that every one of our individual LEGO fantasies doesn’t always come true, we should still be grateful that smart, impressive, and downright gorgeous products like this are even being considered, let alone produced, by a children’s toy company for their more mature demographic.
Even if it isn’t everything you would have hoped for, it’s still so much more than they really have to give us.
Well said.
can we make the ucs helicarrier to fly high with lego train remote control and lego technic motors?!
