REVIEW: 76292 Captain America vs. Red Hulk Battle

[Pchan1983]

Here is my review on LEGO Marvel 76292 Captain America vs. Red Hulk Battle:

THE GOOD:

• Good looking jet and fun build consider the size of the set.
• Exclusive minifigures of new iteration of MCU characters.

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• unjustifiable pricing.

Based on the upcoming movie, Captain America Brave New World.  LEGO once again delivered another Marvel set that is ridiculously priced.  Put pricing aside for a moment, the set itself ain't bad to be honest.  Given the size of the set, the jet has a pretty fun build with great use of parts to create some colour patterns & design.  It also look pretty good, however how well it matches the one in the movie cannot be verified for now given the movie is not out until FEB.  All minifigures are currently exclusive to this set.  All have good qualify print, I particularly like Sam here.  Although I do feel the earlier variant in CMF series is far more superior.  Good to get the new falcon, I do feel they could use a better helmet as current design doesn't feel sleak enough.  Red Hulk is good to have but it basically a green hulk figure in RED.  Given the cotent of this set, if this was under $60NZD, it will be a great fun set. BUT, this set is currently retailed at $100NZD, even if LEGO gives me 20% discount it still overpriced.  Unfortunately, this set is currently exclusive to LEGO Store in New Zealand so there is no chance to get discount at least for now.  While as a MCU fan, this is probably a set you would want but due to the price, it's hard to justify the purchase.  With the underwhelming reception from the trailer and a lot of negative reports surrounding the production,  it's unlikely the movie will do well and this set will be popular.  So there may be a chance this get a 50% off clearance in the future.
