Yeah I thought they mislabeled it, my eyes were just trippin’ and found a better quality picture. It’s all good.
Surge Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 not to sound like a broken record here, but can anyone tell if that ant man is new? i knew rumors know it said he would be, but i still cant believe they would make a new one, doesnt make any sense that vision is phenominal, that cape is so cool hulk looks great, the other figures are kinda meh tbh, not bad tho, just ok
living_off_lego Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) honestly, now that I've sat with it a bit, avengers tower is mildly disappointing? I guess I expected cooler or more decked out Minifigures, but that was just me setting my expectations too high, the one big ommision is Bruce banner, I would wrather have him over Kevin feigie. also, its a bit odd how they threw him in as a civillian, (as seen on the back of the box) instead of a mystery box with maybe a quote plaque, but in the end bruce is availiabe in a good 40-50 dollar set thats still on shelves right now. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but oh my God that vison looks amazing, hes gonna be highly desirable in the future. a completely brand new Minifigures with printing everywhere! unheard of in Lego marvel! anyways, still holding out hope that hulk comes with an alternate haed, and that the floors are removable after you take off the tilted portion of the walls! 2 hours ago, Surge said: not to sound like a broken record here, but can anyone tell if that ant man is new? i knew rumors know it said he would be, but i still cant believe they would make a new one, doesnt make any sense it not (: Edited October 17, 2023 by living_off_lego
LemonFlavouredBleach Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 This set is basically perfection with maybe the slight issues with the figures like a lack of Ultron’s last version, no minifig ant man, no bruce banner and the horrible hawkeye face. Aside from that, this is one of the best marvel sets ever. People calling the build disappointing are wilding out

Agreed. I think I set my expectations too high. However, now that we're seeing the minifigure selection and build I think I can justify my disappointment. The interior seems empty and to only have only a couple detailed minifigures is a big miss for me. I only have enough funds to buy either the Batcave - Shadow Box or the Avengers Tower and these image leaks have made the decision much harder.
Mandalorianknight Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 3 hours ago, Classic_Spaceman said: The top of the box has leaked! The Minifigs are as follows: My thoughts: Tony Stark, Iron Man mk 7, Cap #1, BW (I'm gonna count the new leg print as part of Hawkeye), Loki, Nick Fury: Solid Re-Uses for characters that needed to be in the tower. Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye Ultron: Very important figures to have in the tower, new prints/molds/colors/whatever were used well here. Vision: UNIRONICALLY THE BEST FIGURE IN THE SET. That leg/cape effect is INCREDIBLE. War Machine, Scarlet Witch: Solid Re-Uses for characters related to the tower, even if they didn't show up in these specific outfits. Erik Selvig, Pepper Potts, Alexander Pierce: Good part re-uses for "civilian" style figures. 4x Chitarui: I'm fine with them showing up, it's good to have an army to go against the avengers. Dr. Cho, Kevin Fiege- There were new characters we may have needed more (Ultimate Ultron), but I'm not holding it against these two since there are other slots for new prints taken up by worse options. Cho is a great shoutout to AoU and Fiege is perfect for this set... though three new prints may have been a tad much. Tony #2 and Shield Agents: This is a fun way to get shield agents, I like it. Good way to make a single new print stretch out. The other two agents have inaccurate heads, and I feel proud to complain about this as possibly the smallest nitpick of all time. Falcon, Wasp, damaged mk 6 (Why? Am I forgetting the plot of this movie? Shouldn't it be a damaged MK 7?): Waste of new prints. Should have been Ultron drones/Ultimate Ultron/anyone else who was actually at the tower. Cap 2, Wong: Waste of a re-use. Should have been Bruce Banner, another civilian type, etc. 3 hours ago, Classic_Spaceman said: America's megablocks, I'm kind of surprised they reference that so directly here. 1 hour ago, Classic_Spaceman said: This set is very mid, which for its size and price, it cannot afford to be.

JeanGreyForever Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 I hate to sound nitpicky but the minifigures are very disappointing. So many lacking leg printing and for a set of this price, there's no excuse. The lack of Quicksilver is also perplexing yet there's room for Wasp or especially Wong?
Rwbricks Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 2 hours ago, DaredevilFan said: Wish they included some more Age of ultron representation, feels much more like a stark tower. Same with minifig selection, especially with repeat avengers. But you can’t have everything. Think I’ll wait for the X-mansion reveal and see which one I like better I totally agree. As one of the dozens of major Age of Ultron fans, I was hoping it would be more of a mix, if not more AoU inspired. Hopefully the rooms we can’t really see include the lab and Vision’s cradle, but given the lack of Quicksilver and especially Bruce, I wouldn’t bet on it unfortunately. All that being said, and ignoring my nitpicks with the minifigure selection, the outside of the tower is just beautiful. I can see why they didn’t include the base, and to me, it looks as good as it could. I can’t wait to at least see it in person.
Agent Kallus Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 4 Chitarui , 3 Shield grunts , 2 Caps , 4 Tony Starks. Overall set Unpopular opinion but if we are calling out unwanted figs, I've have rather a different character over a second Iron-Man suit. 2 hours ago, NXS7 said: Hope the big omissions of Quicksilver and Ultron means a Sokovia final battle set in our future And I hope you are right. Quicksilver is such a glaring omission that I'd have assumed it was a rights issue, if it'd happened before the the merge. Maybe if Lego hadn't had a quicksilver set planned, they'll see the want for him now, like with Cody.

It would never come with everyone, but they could include both minifigures they’ve missed as well as some reuses.
Undi3sss Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 Minifigure line up is a bit disappointing, but I love the new Vision. Wasp kinda makes sense becuase she's a founding member in the comics, but Wong is so random!. Plus if displayed next to the Sanctum, where do I even put the repeat of Wong since he won't have a use in the Tower!. No Maria Hill or Bruce Banner is disappointing too, since they clearly have the hammer table/ultron entrance scene. I like how they use clear stands to have minifgures flying around the building, but Loki's Chariot and the Leviathan don't seem to have a stand or anything to keep them up in the air for display purposes. Anyone have a good idea to support them up on the building?.
PGBQW Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 I understand micro Ant-man being here because he was in the endgame scene referenced in the box. But why are Wasp, Wong, Falcon and Scarlet Witch here? Not that I dislike them or anything, I'm just surprised as I don't remember them being at the tlwer at all. Can't believe Kevin Feigie isn't the most out of place character here.
benderisgreat Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 Wow new Avengers tower is amazing build wise! Almost 1 meter high, looks like it’s nicely detailed, but I expected more floor tbh. As for the minifigures I have to agree Vison is such a standout here! Amazing cape print ( and I thought 2016/2018 version was great) and Trans clear legs to give shifting effect? This Vision alone might be a good reason to but the Tower. Hulk is great, and apparently has new mold since it looks like his head can move. As for the rest of minifigures, they are mixed bag. I expected them to reuse Avengers 1 cast from Quinjet and it’s fine. Although it still bugs me they use fat Thors face for younger Thor since it doesn’t fit this version of him! But new Hawkeye get such a generic face print here, he looks nothing like Jeremy Renner, I mean even 2015 Hawkeye had more accurate face than this new one! New battle damaged Mk6 is a welcome addition, reuses of Fury and Pepper are expected. New dr Selvig and Pierce are good. Helen Cho and Kevin Feige are great additional figures. Scarlet Witch is not AoU based for some reason? Why would they cheap out and put inaccurate figure of her in this set? Also Tony Stark could have used new face print as 2018 one is getting old and tired( it also feels expressionless). Also why no Quicksilver? He was important part of AoU, and only ever appeared in 1 set! For some reason Wong and Wasp who never were in Avengers tower in the movies are here for some reason! And finally why we don’t get AoU version of Avengers in addition to part 1 versions here since the set is mostly based on that movie? We already have that versions of Cap and BW on the market, why not add Thor, Iron Man and Hawkeye as well? Overall minifigs are a mixed bag, not great but decent. But it’s 500$+ set why can’t Lego be bothered to put more effort in Ucs set?
Legocentrico Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 Feige's presence highlights how much the set is a tribute to the MCU, and does not necessarily have to remain limited to Avengers and AOU, the box itself makes no reference to those films. I still don't understand the doubts about Wong, Wasp etc. they're there to represent Marvel Studios (and probably to add inclusivity to the set). Perhaps the designers will explain precisely why they chose these characters. We have been waiting for this set for years, we know that it has existed for many months now, it is normal that we have all created expectations (me first with ironman), and many have not been maintained (how could it have been??) but we have to evaluate for that that is, not what it was supposed to be in our heads, and it is an AMAZING set! The build is impressive and detailed, there are 31 minifigures, THIRTY-ONE! How can you say it's not enough? Black Panther had no minifigures, Hulkbuster had 1, here we find a lot of them and some were also highly anticipated, some were obviously obvious and others are pleasant surprises, but together it is an absolutely satisfying lineup, it represents the great stages of the MCU. I've also read complaints about the interiors, but we still haven't seen them O_o I think the image with the open side is misleading, because the side wall makes it seem "empty" but that's where we place the glass, there's still plenty of space for satisfactory interiors... we criticize lego for many reasons, and 2023 in particular really sucked, as far as I'm concerned the set changed this perception and saved the year in corner
CF Mitch Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 Alright then... Based on the new pictures, the minifigures are mostly quite nice. I like the updated MkVI (thought battle damaged) and MkVII and Tony Stark as a Shield Agent is a nice touch, I'll be swapping his head to make a generic agent though The inclusion of Erik Selvig is definitely appreciated, as well as Helen Cho and the updated Vision. Regarding the build, I will await better pictures of the interior to make my decision, but so far it looks very nice. The exterior sure does All in all, I think I'll wait for a discount to get the set, though. Regards, Mitch

I get what you mean, but even as a general representation of the MCU rather than just the Avengers I think the figures fall a bit flat. Wong shows up a lot, sure, but neither he nor Wasp really fit that theme either. If that's what they were going for then surely characters like Thanos, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange or Black Panther (as an actual inclusion rather than a GWP) would make more sense? Thanos in particular is the primary antagonist of a whole saga AND shows up in Avengers 1; you wouldn't even have to add another load of army builders. To be clear I'm not saying I was expecting Thanos, but some of these choices miss the mark as both an Avengers set and a general MCU one. Figures aside I agree it's an amazing set but for $500 dollars I don't think people are wrong to be a little critical.
BrickBob Studpants Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) Personally, I‘m very happy with the minifig line-up Hulk, Vision, and the damaged Mk 6 suit are amazing, plus Cho, Selvig, and Pearce are more than welcome additions! Finally, an unambiguous CA:TWS tie-in! I also love how they incorporated scenes from TA, AoU, and Endgame. Still cackling about them referencing the „America‘s megablocks“ scene, and right on the box to boot Edited October 17, 2023 by BrickBob Studpants

Chris10 Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 For those with space issues like myself, based on the HD picture of the dimensions, I think you’re looking at about 82cm tall if you remove the antenna and Selvig’s portal device.
