    The perfect Marvel set

    Written by (TFOL , silver-rated reviewer) in United States,

    This might be my favourite Marvel set. For it's $80 retail, it was well worth the money.

    The figures in this set stand out; an exclusive Iron Man, War Machine, and Scarlet Witch. While Cap and Bucky aren't new or exclusive, they are a great inclusion, and allow for people to recreate scenes from the movie.

    Ant-man deserves his own paragraph; the micro figure is a phenomenal thing to get, and even better, you get 2! But the real reason anyone bought this is for the giant man build. This was the first brick built lego figure, and all other ones have stemmed from it. While the stickers aren't ideal, the build still holds up. The mask fits the iconic character, and allows for you to fold down what covers his mouth, revealing a grin. He can even hold figures in his hands, great for recreating scenes!

    I could go on all day about Giant-man, but the rest of the set is great as well. The tower is an easy build, but adds to the atmosphere. With spots for the Ant-man micro figure to be put, where it activates a play feature to explode boxes. I enjoyed the tower, and it looks good in a city as well.

    The quinjet.... the worst part to the set, in my opinion. It's not a bad quinjet, but the 2015 version is hard to beat. The build is very sturdy; I've dropped it so many times, but it hasn't broken. The only complaint it the lack of an interior. A knob can be spun to reveal stud shooters on the underbelly, but the small spot to put a figure doesn't satisfy after the roomy Age of Ultron version.

    Avengers disassembled

    Written by (TFOL , bronze-rated reviewer) in United States,

    This set is very cool and detailed for a Marvel. I feel Lego Marvel doesn't get (as much) attention compared to DC. It was mostly accurate to the scene in the movie (Captain America: Civil War). I liked the references on the boxes. However, my pet peeve is Agent 13, who was not in the scene. I think she could have been replaced with Hawkeye, a normal sized Ant Man, or Spider-Man. As always, the Iron Man suit is exclusive. War Machines suit is awesome. It could fit into easily to your Lego City Airport. The Quinjet is The most accurate one yet.

    LegoMoose's Super Hero Airport Battle review

    Written by (TFOL) in United States,

    This is a great set!

    From the playability to the building, this is just all in all a great set.

    The build is fun and easy. You don't need to be a very experienced builder in order to construct this set.

    The control tower is nice, and it has a little play feature where you can blow out part of the tower. The set doesn't come with any actual minifigures to operate the tower. You also get this little luggage cart. The tower does make a good addition to a Lego City airport one might build.

    The quinjet is really nice. It has a sleek design with a bunch of play features integrated into the build. The cockpit can hold two minifigures, however they are a little hard to get in there just right. You can twist a little gear at the top and a gun will come down from the inside. You can open a hatch in the back and fit a minifigure in there if positioned right.

    The Giant ant man is awesome! It's the first style of this build that we have gotten. It is an amazing build. It is sturdy and well detailed. Some people have bought this set just for the giant ant man.

    The minifigures are good, with Iron Man, War Machine, Captain America, Bucky Barnes, Scarlet Witch, Agent 13, and a microfigure ant man. (You actually get two of the microfigure ant man.)

    This is just the poster child of a lego play set. Great features, minifigures, and builds. The price is set right, and you get a good amount of pieces. I am giving this set a solid 5.0 out of 5.

    Have a good day/evening and happy building!

    May be the best Marvel set of the year

    Written by (AFOL , platinum-rated reviewer) in United States,

    This might be the best Marvel set we have seen recently. It has it all. Broad clear scene to recreate from the movie. Some highly off the wall builds and not typical subjects, and utterly fantastic minifigs.

    The unquestioned Star of the set is the huge brick built Ant Man/Giant Man. He is amazing in every way possible. He will quickly become part of you permanent display.

    Runner up is the Quinjet. This is the third Quinjet we have gotten, and unquestionably the best of the bunch. It's the smallest by a wide margin, but is better for it. The lines, curves and colors much better match the on screen craft. It replaces gimmicks with good shaping and a solid build.

    The minifigs are great. The standout is the new War Machine. We also get a Civil War print Captain America with his full cowl, a Civil War print Iron Man to add to the armory. Scarlet Witch in a more updated outfit, The Winter Soldier who has become common, and the unique to this set Agent 13 Sharon Carter. Agent 13 is both a delight to get and a meh figure. As with ALL of the Marvel females they gave her the wrong hair color. She should be blonde. Very blonde. Famously so. The standard yellow blonde ponytail hairpiece would b a much better selection for her. We also get a teeny tiny incredibly painted Ant Man mini statue fig.

    The remainder of the set consists of serviceable destructible things for the heroes to toss around. The control tower and the baggage cart.

    Overall this is this years standout Marvel set. The Giant Ant Man figure is something we have never seen before, and is amazing.

    "Has Anyone Seen That Really Old Movie, The Empire Strikes Back?"

    Written by (TFOL , rhodium-rated reviewer) in {Unknown},

    I bought this set immediately after seeing Civil War in late April, and is quite something. Few sets manage to nail the balance between great figs, a fun build, and a satisfying end product, but this one ticks all the boxes.

    Box/Instructions

    Box is the usual size for £70 set, and the instructions come in a nice perfect bound booklet, as is the practice for larger sets these days.

    Parts

    The only particularly interesting part is the new 2x4x2 windshield-thingy used for Giant-Man's helmet. I look forward to seeing other applications for it in the future.

    Minifigures

    This is where it gets good. I'll do this by team, starting with Iron Man's squad (the best, in my humble opinion)

    Iron Man Mk46 - I am an avid collector of Iron....... Men? and this suit is easily one of the finest yet. It's certainly movie accurate and has printing galore. I won't bore you with an in-depth breakdown, because you're probably bored of Iron Man printing analysis by now.

    War Machine - Wahey! They finally got the right suit in the right movie! Also stunning, though I would recommend swapping the face for the old Rhodey one, and maybe changing the stick clip for a smaller gun like on the older suits.

    Team Cap (Booooo!)

    Cap himself: Same as usual. Nice torso, nice head, print legs, make shield darker, blah blah blah.

    Bucky/Winter Soldier: Pretty good. Torso printing is ace, and is very easily transferable to other spy-type dudes - I used mine for a Bobbi Morse - but the legs could use some printing. His arm has been through some serious stuff since his really rare, then kinda rare, then common as muck polybag appearance last year, and now looks suitably worn, which is accurate to the movie. His hair is on point, but it's gave I have the biggest issue with - I didn't know Chris Pratt played Bucky. I don't mind re-using faces (Though Gandalf for Pym? Unacceptable) but my problem is two people who co-exist in the same universe having the same face. I think for this reason, Bucky should have gotten a new face print.

    Scarlet Witch: And the award for most improved player goes to..... Wanda has seen some serious changes both in movie form and in Lego, but they're both similar, which is good. Her hair is now accurate, her torso printing is great, her powers actually look like...... her powers, and the skirt really tops it off.

    Micro Ant-Man: To quote Hope Van Dyne: it's about damn time. A great little fig all round, with accurate printing. And they give you two, so you can stick one in your Ant-Man set! I'll get to his BIG brother in a bit.

    Last and, let's not kid ourselves here, least - Agent 13/Sharon Carter/To-paraphrase-Quicksilver-who-didn't-see-that-one-coming?: I guess she's pretty accurate or whatever, but I didn't really enjoy her character, and I feel the same way about the fig. The jacket print's pretty nice, so do the smart thing and use it for an accurate Black Widow instead.

    The build

    Fun fun fun. You start off with the usual miscellanies; this time it's a (surprisingly versatile) luggage cart. It explodes, and you can put Ant-Man in below. The suitcases have stickers from Billund, Sokovia and Wakanda. Then you do the tower. Also fun. More explosion features. And it houses the (sacred?) fire extinguisher. Then you should do Giant-Man, but I strongly recommend saving him for the end, because he's brilliant. Not brilliant? The Quinjet. It's an okay build, but it's easily the most boring part overall. Giant-Man. Oh yeah. This is why you buy the set. Great fun to build, great fun to play with, and an homage to genius.

    The completed model

    Outstanding. I cannot describe with words how good it all looks together. Giant-Man is a serious achievement in terms of modelling figures, and the tower is easily on par, if not better than, the average City control tower. The Quinjet is something of a disappointment, and I must confess mine is currently on eBay, having been swapped out for the (more movie-accurate, on top of other things) 2015 version. There are also a lot of Easter eggs. On top of the aforementioned suitcases, there is also a cool sign saying "authorised minifigures only" on the tower door, and those boxes (which can be blown away by Ant-Man) have Stark Industries, Hanmer, and AIM on the top of them.

    Overall opinion

    Buy this set. Even if you're not too fussed about having complete teams, or even if you're not even a minifig person, but this set. The figs are great, the models are great, even the price is reasonable. And if you are looking for more, 76067 Tanker Truck Takedown is the perfect add-on, not just for rounding out the teams (though it does leave you with only three gaps in the team line-ups), but as well as being a great set in in its own right, it will enhance your experience with this set as well. Even on its own, however 76051 will probably always be remembered as one of the finest superhero sets of this era. Just buy this set.
