76286: Guardians of the Galaxy: The Milano Review
It’s been 10 years since Marvel’s biggest bunch of a-holes first appeared on the big screen. Back then the Guardians of the Galaxy were a little-known part of the wider Marvel universe. Thankfully, moviegoers instantly took to Star-Lord, Drax, Gamora, Rocket and Groot, who all became a big part of the MCU, particularly the Infinity Saga. Their importance to the MCU has seen the Guardians feature in several LEGO® sets,...
76291: Avengers Assemble: Age of Ultron Review
One of the most iconic moments from the Marvel Cinematic Universe has to be when the original members of the Avengers assemble during the Battle for New York. It was a moment which has tried to be replicated including during the opening of the Age of Ultron. The film opens in a snowy forest, where the Avengers are battling through HYDRA forces. For a brief moment, the action slows as the Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Captain America,...
76297: Dancing Groot Set Review
Before 2014, the Guardians of the Galaxy were practically unknown but their fun-filled intergalactic adventures soon cemented them as an important part of the MCU. But one member of the team has become particularly beloved. The Flora Colossus is also known as Groot. Although Groot becomes a little less colossal, he remains a fan-favourite Guardian. Groot has appeared in a few different LEGO® sets including buildable versions of the...
76288: Iron Man & Iron Legion vs. Hydra Soldier Review
This year has been a little light on new Marvel content, so the LEGO® Marvel theme continues to seek inspiration for new sets from past MCU eras.

In the opening moments of the film, the Avengers descend upon the HYDRA Research...
76290: The Avengers Vs. The Leviathan Set Review
With the Avengers assembled and the Battle for New York in full swing, Loki’s Chitauri forces step up their attack with the massive Leviathan creatures. That moment is the inspiration for one of the smaller of the new LEGO® Marvel Summer sets. As the name of the set suggests, it features some of the Avengers and a Leviathan. Here’s an early look at the new LEGO Marvel set, The Avengers vs. The Leviathan. Product Details...
76289: Thor vs. Surtur Construction Figure Review
Thor’s journey in the MCU has been an interesting one. After the first two Thor films, the third embraces the absurdity of a race of alien gods with Thor: Ragnarok. In the opening moments of the film, Thor is found chained in a cage, captured by the fire demon Surtur. The prophecy that Asgard would fall during Ragnarok came true as Surtur was released and rained terror on Thor’s world. It’s those moments which has...
76295: The Avengers Helicarrier Set Review
It’s time to start the Summer set reviews by looking at the entire new range of LEGO® Marvel sets. The first set I’m taking a look at is the recently revealed mini version of the Helicarrier. This gigantic airborne aircraft carrier acts as the mobile command centre for S.H.I.E.L.D. It first appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Marvel’s The Avengers/Avengers Assemble. Since then it’s appeared in multiple...
