REVIEW: 76291 The Avengers Assemble: Age of Ultron

[Pchan1983]

Here is my review on LEGO Marvel 76291 The Avengers Assemble: Age of Ultron:

THE GOOD:

• Nearly perfect recreation of the iconic scene from Age of Ultron.
• One set and get the full Avengers line up and they are all excellent.

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• Building experience is a bit bland.
• Frustration with the Barricades placement.
• Still no Quicksilver.

As a MCU fan, any sets depict iconic scenes from the movies will immediately catch my attention.  I have to admit, while I was building this set, the build wasn't the most exciting as I felt it just your typical super heroes sets.  There were parts even frustrating to build like the Barricades which are a pain as it's quite lose.  However, once the set is completed, I ended up liking it very much.  Because it really recreates the iconic scene from Age of Ultron extremely well.  The use of clear elements is smart and the way it makes the jeep tilt is also brilliant.  On top of that, you get the full Avengers line up!  The minifigures are excellent, I particularly like how well Hawkeye and Black Window were done.  It does lack play feature though but again I believe this set is more like a diorama.  And if you remove the jeep, it gives you lots of space to do whatever you want.  And could be perfect to utilise to recreate a scene from Deadpool v Wolverine.  At $180NZD RRP, this is not cheap but if you a like me able to found a deal like 25% off then it suddenly makes this a very good deal especially if you don't have and want the full avengers line up.  And if you love MCU, definitely get this if you can.  The only things I was disappointed with this set is that there is still no sign of QuickSilver ...
