Lego The Avengers Assemble: Age of Ultron did the impossible it made me nostalgic for that movie.
The film itself may not be the most popular, but there’s no denying how iconicthismoment was.
Yes, there are bigger and more impressive Marvel kits.
But for my money, this will be one of thebest Lego setsfor the majority of fans.
You know the one that fight where they assault one of Hydra’s last remaining bases in snowy Sokovia.
This includes a bunker for Hulk to smash, complete with a swivelling turret.
Three Hydra soldiers are included too, all with mini blasters that actually fire studs.
For starters, it’s a surprisingly varied process.
But there’s something satisfying about clicking the characters into such an energetic action scene.
I didn’t appreciate the instructions as much, though.
Add some dynamic poses and a striking background for Lego brick perfection.
I’ve got almost nothing to complain about with the finished article.
Actually, I’d go so far as to say it’s the best Marvel kit for most people.
It manages to nail the look of frigid Sokovia with minimal parts, too.
There aren’t many other kits that bring the original Avengers together in one pack.
In fact, only one exists - Avengers Tower, as seen at theLego store.
Speaking of centerpieces, it’s fun to see Lego getting creative with a tricky task like this.
Not that you have to sit and stare at this thing.
