LEGO Marvel Iron Man Armory (76216) - 2022 Set Review

[@bitlasagna8966]

I think the new helmet works for the nanotech suits since it’s supposed to be slimmer, but not for the earlier bulkier ones

[@imveritasproductions]

Imo it works for both

[@EnderHero]

I think it works for the mark 25

[@Meemstation]

Like the jackhammer suit and war machine.

[@EnderHero]

@@Meemstation yeah, imo the printing on war machine is a bit odd tho

[@Jay-Zech]

I don’t like how big it is. It make him look like a bobble head imo😂

[@melihtunadogan]

The price is just incredibly high. The set is good actually but iron man helmets didn't need a change it was just perfect I think.

[@michelelarsen5625]

I kinda agree the set is overpriced and they should have used the older helmet style for the mark 3 and war machine, but the new helmet is perfect for the new nano tech armor.

[@clif472]

Also can they stop including the Mk85 in every single set? I prefer the new look to the hall of armor itself but the price makes it a money grab.

[@Cryptic62637]

The printing on the helmet is bad but it is better than the comic printing

[@marwana4834]

No it wasn't perfect. I still needed lots of improvements. Thy should have made one similar to Phoenix Customs' version which I would argue is the best version of an iron man figure.

[@imveritasproductions]

@@marwana4834 it would be if the helmet lifted

[@tygovisser5626]

I think more printable and versatile helmets are a good step, it just wasnt executed properly

[@janglesthearsonist5265]

It should've been Black Widow in her OG suit instead of Nick Furry. Ironman 2 was her debut!

[@Reds787]

"Furry"

[@CarsUnboxer]

It's fury

[@frogs3338]

@@CarsUnboxer I think they’re mad at Nick Fury

[@jacksonbrickmedia939]

The set is good but it should be 70 dollars. The avengers tower was also 90 with a similar piece count to this but just felt so much more substancial.

[@chunky_kit-kat1343]

Yeah it’s just the hall of armour with loads of little throwaway side-builds to stuff up the price

[@WookieeRandy]

$50 at most

[@totalcreativegaming6681]

The cool thing about the blueprint of the new element that Tony discovered or (rediscovered). Is that the area around it resembles a birds eye view diagram of Tony’s garage/ workshop. The left side is the armoury, the landing pad thing and some tables (presumably). The top left is the stairs behind the glass windows & fingerprint access door and right side is the garage & driveway. The bottom right part of the garage is where Tony’s car collection would be located. Near the bunch of windows that would look out towards the sea.

[@DonsStudios]

10:53 pretty sure that's supposed to be what Stane uses to remove the arc reactor from Tony's chest in the first Iron Man movie

[@winston9389]

Although the new helmet looks too big brain for the minifigures, I can get why they might have to update the helmet. Having all the original iron man, i can say that the visor connection is sometimes weak (especially overtime). So I would assume that the designers updated the visor mainly for the structure integrity, or at least I hope that was the reason.

[@janglesthearsonist5265]

I hope you're right! I have some Ironman 3 helmets that are on their last legs.

[@stam7250]

@@janglesthearsonist5265 I lost my faceplate for the mark 42. I need to find a cheap fig from the last two years to replace it lol

[@clamsion2202]

Yeah my Iron man 3 figures like the OG war machine face plates dangle off when you hold the figure upside down

[@itsobviousright720]

That and the flexibility of prints since some helmets eyes look different and have different details and stuff

[@brandonscott5544]

Great Lego marvel Iron man 2 amuory set review 👌 ashnflash @

[@BuginaRiver]

I’ll never understand how Lego is able to justify to themselves listing a set that’s worth at MOST $60 for $100

[@buhdeuce2131]

Because Lego Fans are stupid enough to pay it?...

[@Alert111]

[@cjp1599]

Mini figs will mean this is actually a good investment. 5 years from now you will be able to sell this set new for $150+.

[@therealnuggetball]

@@shadow_the_wanderer + new molds

[@Shadow_1287]

A year later target has it for 60$ just bought it

[@Eli-as12]

I think the reason for the new helmet is not for MCU Tony's Iron Man but for the different Iron Men and Women like Iron Heart, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, etc. Printing the design on to the helmet makes it more versatile as well as having them flip up.

[@Jay-Zech]

I feel like it would’ve worked well for Rescue(Pepper) from Endgame, as it’s more smooth than the other Helmets. It’s still too big imo though.

[@Eli-as12]

@@Jay-Zech Yep, it works well with characters that don't have the traditional Iron Man helmet design. And yeah, the helmet does look too long

[@Jay-Zech]

@@Eli-as12 Yeah. It doesn’t look very good on the traditional Ironman figures imo, but it does look really good on the Striker. I hope they use them where they work, and not try and cram them into every set even though it looks wrong

[@CinnaRoar]

Then keep the iron man helmet for iron man, and use the rest of them for well the rest of them

[@yozzzeh]

I might be the minority here but I do think that the new helmet mold is actually near perfection, it doesn't scale well with minifigure's head but it looks proportional to the source material. I personally always thought that the original mold feels squished down, and faceplate feels a bit oversized

[@jmccray84]

Yeah the new helmet seems proportional but the original had a more detailed faceplate that had molded eyes, a flip up that didn't make Tony's head look bulbous and to me was overall good for the MCU iron man suits, wished LEGO could've switched it up the helmets here between the three designs

[@BossBast1]

to really look like the source material, the chin part should be in helmet, not on the visor part.

[@yozzzeh]

@@BossBast1 But since faceplate don't just lift up like it does in the movie, I'm pretty sure that'll cause clearance issue

[@ch00pyjup55]

Ash, you forgot to mention that this is the first time we have gotten a War Machine minifigure in Gunmetal grey - the most accurate colour Lego has for him. Also, I think the helmet is a good attempt - I understand why they made a new mould, but it would have been nice to use the same base helmet mould that has been used for the last 10 years but just make a new face plate mould without the eye indents so that it is more versatile for different suits.

[@Dar_ishere]

9:25 just my favorite part it reminds me of iron man 1 when tony decides what mark 3 should be made of and painted

[@crossover1015]

I have a solution for the main build. Just move the rest of the build to the other Hall of Armor and use this main build as someone else’s suit display like Batman

[@xGhostCat]

The trick is to buy the sticker set for a dollar and slap it on a window. He has 51 suits onscreen in the films. 48 are his own, Two busters (44 and 48) and rescue (mk 49) seeing as his newest is mk 85 theres still mk 51-84 that havnt been seen!

[@Lord-Emperor-Vader]

Plus the Iron Spider, Iron Legion, (apparently) 7 War Machine suits and 2 Iron Patriot suits. I think the Rescue armor is also not an Iron man suit and under its own designation. If you want you can count the Spider-Man homecoming suit but that is not really an Iron Man like suit.

[@qwertyzillaofficial2969]

51-84 are just upgrades of the Mk.50 eventually becoming the Mk.80

[@xGhostCat]

This hasnt been canonized anywhere and its just a assumption. You could say that about most suits. Mk 2 and 3 the upgrade of the Mk1 that eventually became the mk4 and so on

[@EricIsntSmart]

Id prefer this if they made cheaper sets including one suit and one display capsule, so it'd be easier to tile the modules without buying several of the expensive sets

[@YouGoneMad]

Also loving the blue hologram sword piece!

[@Adahudgins]

I still like the helmets where you can open the visor instead of it being printed

[@scottcooper5060]

I really wish they had continued with hall of armor/armory sets that matched the last two. I like some of the side builds, but I'll likely just get some of the figures and build some more pods to expand my existing one. Especially at 90 bucks

[@brickity1447]

I feel like the Buildable Iron man may have been based off an Iron man with the new helmet. I just feel like the wierd Chunkiness makes more sense that way.

[@duckseverywhere7087]

The new helmet takes me back to that horrible X-Wing pilot-helmet-mold they introduced back in 2018. I hope this new mold here gets the same treatment.

[@Quentino808]

If this was $50-60 I'd get it, there's alot of cool little things (new helmet, stark expo, whiplash, war machine) but I'll probably just get that stuff on bricklick if it's not crazy expensive like the set. Shame, I don't have an armory yet and I liked the look of this oni

[@RACCorpStudios]

Costco gets sets like this discounted all the time I’d wait for that and it could be marked down like 20 bucks

[@janglesthearsonist5265]

I only grabbed one of the cheap Legos for Ironman 3 but thank the All Father that I got the one that came with the real Mark II.

[@OwenRose_9]

The Tony Stark mini fig is actually wearing a Black Sabbath shirt not Metallica.

[@Admb_]

The stark expo model would work great in a no way home happys apartment moc or even set.

[@albertogeorge2903]

Just wanted to let people who were confused know, The reason the helmet is so high up to fit his giant brain because he is very smart

[@hoangkhai8968]

get the car license, make the car 2 seats and correct size, to hold the map like in the movie instead of leaving it behind, it looks weird, return the old helmet to the previous armors, maybe not nano armor but still looks weird, go back to the old armor display, fix the face, the character skin, then 90 bucks, 100 bucks if lego wants to go wild on the price and it would make a lot more sense

[@pian-0g445]

I feel like they can still use the old mold for his old armours like 3 and maybe up to like avengers or age of ultron but using the new one makes sense for the ones after it as they have quite a different shape, and the printing for the new one allows you to really see the difference in design

[@Gzilla313]

Could you please do a video comparing the original hall of armor pods, the spider lair pods, and the new hall of armor pods? I'd be curious how compatible they are with each other. I found the Ironman and Spider-Man pods didn't fit that well together, especially when it came to putting the display on a curve.

[@imveritasproductions]

I think a war machine comparison video would be cool

[@Celtic1020]

13:38 I think they made it larger so the visor hinges don't break as easily.

[@Shad0w_Z]

I think if they filled out the entire faceplate and made the helmet shorter, it could be so so much better.

[@lesgrossman6332]

For me the new helmets are weird cuz the back is fine but the front looks like it’s flat. The old ones had edges and curves to the front.

[@Aithon_Phoinix]

The hairpiece for whiplash is technically accurate to the scene the armor appears in, the helmets if you notice in the film, don’t go clear up, you could probably live with the new helmet design if you don’t put em up all the way. Stark 11 was the license plate on the car actually used, but could be a reference to how many movies he was in for marvel. Overall if you watch the film, this set may actually be more accurate than y’all realize!

[@Aithon_Phoinix]

Keep in mind it’s lego, it’s not perfect

[@anequallygoodchannel.2761]

9:00 who else thought that black minifig head was a coffee pot? I thought it was one of his mechanical arms going to pour coffee in the cup that's on the table.

[@JamesLawner]

Great review, and I can’t wait for the comparison videos and even an updated Iron Man minifigure vid.

[@WillyFresh92]

My biggest gripe is that they used the Mark 3 instead of the Mark 4 here. Huge miss on Legos part to please us completionists wanting to make a full hall of armor display.

[@scottlloyd5324]

That will be in the next hall of armor for $119.99 plus tax

[@funnyyellowdog2251]

I think the blueprint is for Malibu Mansion honestly. The stairway, outline and circular coffee table-like structure kinda reminds me of it honestly.

[@YeetingNoodle]

i think whats best about the original iron man helmet, was that the face mask had molded etails on it. not an almost entirely flat piece with a printed face. the new one just looks less like iron man because there is no depth, you know?

[@ironman-lg3dv]

the think of the minute 10:52 is the thing that obadiah uses to remove tony's arc reactor in iron man 1

I do not yet own a nick fury, but after buying about 4-5 of this set, I have a feeling I will be sharing your "Nick Fury is everywhere" feeling, lmfao

[@legodomain8362]

At Costco, you can get this set for $60 and it comes with the I Am Groot set along with it

[@YouGoneMad]

I will be likely picking up multyiples of this set in order to essentially bild my own idea of how the armory should be built. I plan on having an armory case for each set of Armor, as mentioned in this video

[@noahmckenzie4613]

Yes yes finally 🥳🎉 I've been trying to find a review for it for so long

[@beastlife9676]

The price is too high and the new helmets suck. So I am gonna wait until a discount or something comes EDIT: Also why couldn’t Pepper be in her Rescue armor in this set? We only got that figure once and in none of the recent Endgame sets.

[@andybricks576]

hey Ashnflash. At about 11:20 the build is a drill press dude. great review.

[@matthewd7719]

If you have no Iron man figures this is a perfect set to buy one time and have a nice little Iron Man theme display

[@emilianodelgado6573]

I got the set today and it’s honest not that bad, I do wish that it would’ve been $75 instead of $90. Although the minifigures are great but I do wish they wouldn’t have changed the Ironman helmet.

[@Donnosaurus]

I understand you don't like the new hall of armor display with the holograms. You could just apply the stickers on the door/window panels pieces right? Then just use them on the previous design, you probably have some left without stickers from previous sets

[@YouGoneMad]

You really should have shown a comparison of the original flip up helmet vs this new one, because as I am holding the original one in hand, comparing it to your video (as I do not own this new one yet), they seem to appear the same size??? Although I can definitely see the cut line difference, and prefer the original were ONLY the gold face plate moves up, whereas in these new one the gold face plate is outlined by a border of red metal that also flips up, and it feels weird, or not as cool looking as the original. Just my 2 cents bub.

[@Ashnflash]

They aren't the same size. Tomorrow's video will be the comparison between all three

I was able to buy this set on a Black Friday for half the price. Got super lucky!

In the side builds the red thing I think is a bench press :)

[@Proper.Gaming012]

Some ask “Is it better to have the old iron man helmet with the face plate or this new one?" - I say, is it too much to ask for both? With that in mind I humbly present you the crown jewel of Stark Industries' Freedom Line, using the old ones for the original suits and the new one for the nano suits.

[@AnxietyDanvers1994]

This was a missed opportunity to also toss Black Widow into this set since she was in Iron Man 2

[@jimbofest909]

If I get this it will be later in the year when it's discounted or as a Christmas present.

[@coltencavegn5593]

I feel like this might be one of the most controversial sets of the year. I really like all of the builds in the set, even though you pointed out that the display is a little tall, with my only complaint being that the holograms are placeholders, which is not a big deal for me, since I do not have a lot of Iron Man suits, but it could be a bigger problem if I get more Iron Man suits. I like the Whiplash and the Iron Man Striker figure as well. I also do not have the Tony Stark, so I am excited to get that. The one huge draw for me though, is the new helmet. I love the back of the helmet with the detail there, but I hate everything else. I understand that they want to make the helmet design for the different suits unique, but it just looks weird, and I never noticed this until Ashnflash said this, but it is really long. I honestly hate the print, and that is a drawback for me, but I do feel like it works really well for the Striker suit for some reason. The funny thing, though, is that I have only three Iron Man suits, excluding War Machine, and they are the Mark 42 from Iron Man 3, the Mark 85 from Endgame, and the Mark 3 from Iron Man 1. That lowers my incentive to pay $90 to get 4 figures (The two Iron Man suits, Nick Fury, Pepper Potts) that I already have. Then, like I said earlier, I hate the new helmets, so the two Iron Man suits that are in this set that I have are downgraded in my opinion. Other than that, I love the side builds more than anything else, and I will probably wait until my birthday or Christmas to get this because in my opinion, it is not worth $90 of my own money on this. It really should have only been at the most $60.

[@Vincent1996]

The tool at 11:15 is supposed to be a drill press, I think!

[@Angry_Squirrel555]

Hold on, are those 1/4 round tiles in trans-yellow on the car!? Oh yes! Also, it’s called a drill press. It’s not too bad of a set but I’ll just be getting it mostly for the suits like most people.
