[@mkalic7423]

Honestly, the Chitauri were absolutely needed in that set. Imagine all those 20+ Superheroes in a set with a big fish, Ultron, Loki, and his bodyguard as villains? I think 4 Chitauri is a good number for a set like this, it feels like Loki's army is arriving

[@iansteelmatheson]

agreed,, but multiples of Iron Man and Captain America? pfft.

[@gijsvanelk6337]

@@iansteelmathesonI don’t mind getting more Iron mans, building an armory. And captain America is 2 because of the movie reference. But you do you, are you getting the set?

[@lanefaulhaber875]

Totally agree.

[@kuchenjaeger2164]

Coulson not being a minifig feels like a crime. He is the reason the Avengers were able to ACtUALLY become a team :(

[@jardex2275]

It appears that Coulson has had only one minifig, being part of Detroit Steel Strikes (76077-1), a set based on a Lego Avengers cartoon. I agree that he should have been represented here, since he was the connecting piece across all of Phase 1, and his death is what brought the team together in the first place.

[@AbsolutelyJason]

I miss Coulson and I wish he would have been included, too.

[@nlald]

@@AbsolutelyJasonPhil Coulson will be exclusive to the Tahiti set.

[@AbsolutelyJason]

@@nlaldIt's a magical place.

[@FrancescoDedo]

They used that quinjet because probably it is the most iconic design, and also it's simpler to render at a smaller scale. The Age of Ultron quinjet is too sleek to be even recognizable at that scale and blockiness :)

[@TiagoCatarino]

Right. But it would still made more sense I think. Had this quintet been made in a Helicarrier model, I would have no issues

[@FrancescoDedo]

Yeah, i feel like that this set is more like an MCU playset centered on the Avengers Tower rather than an actual reproduction of the scenes revolved around it in the movies. (An optional Stark sign would have been awesome in that regard) @@TiagoCatarino

[@benjaminvdvyt]

​@FrancescoDedo stark sign would have been pointless without a ton of extra pieces. The stark tower is more white, grey and brown, whereas this has a ton of blue. Also the window areas look very different. So you would need at least like 1000 pieces to turn it into the stark tower, if not like 2000.

[@FrancescoDedo]

@@benjaminvdvyt indeed, but at that point, if accuracy wasn't the main goal...

[@snoopycharlie8718]

Stan Lee minifig would have been a fun inclusion. Unless someday they do a Stan Lee gift with purchase of his office, with him at his drawing / writing desk 🤔

[@slippinjenny7410]

I think The Wasp is included because in the original Avengers comics she was one of the founding members along with Iron Man, Thor, Ant-Man, and The Hulk

[@AbsolutelyJason]

That's a really good point.

[@Shrek-jh6ne]

Yeah the designers confirmed that but thank you because most people didn’t know

[@TheOpIsReal.]

But i still wonder why wong is in the set

[@Shrek-jh6ne]

@@TheOpIsReal. idk it says in the instruction book that he needs to show hawkeye his hotdog but it doesn’t make sense

[@cosmiccosmoo]

I love when designers do this kind of stuff, jam pack the set with references. And speaking of references, at 13:57 a little silver infinity gauntlet hidden on the box.

[@AbsolutelyJason]

Good eye!

[@zmano55]

Hey Tiago! Both Rhodey and Falcon were at the party scene in the tower in Age of Ultron, and Wanda was in the tower when Vision was brought to life.

[@dylansstudio3877]

Yes! But it’s still sad that Quick Silver(Pietro, Im not sure if I spelled the name correctly) wasn’t included in the set, since he was in the building when vision was “born”

[@maxluoma-aho9192]

​@@dylansstudio3877yes pietro is his real name

[@jsshull19]

Sam is at the party in Age of Ultron at the tower, and Wanda is there for Vision’s “birth”

[@zeberto1986]

I love how this set can either be a clean display piece or by adding all the figures around it gives it a more 'diorama' type feel and adds some good little story elements making the set look a bit more alive.

[@DiagonalBricks]

Omg I only just started watching the video and that set is GIANT omg

[@Mrloophole]

It's GIANT

[@Bigthundrinmonutin]

I got so worried that the bugle’s letters would overlap with the tower and they couldn’t go next to each other

[@TiagoCatarino]

Actually, it can’t go next to it if the bugle is on the right side of the tower!

[@raychow5419]

I was wondering why you didn’t show the Bugle on the right side instead.

[@laserbeamlightning]

@@TiagoCatarinocan you make a community post showing us this arrangement?

[@asmo1313]

@@TiagoCatarino makes sense, the plane would not be able to land with the daily bugle at the right side

[@user-nf8kr6ul7q]

Amazing how you get, and share all of the easter eggs, with such clarity and hawsome video and story telling abillity.

[@tomagunchi8816]

Thank you for calling out the half-assed minifigures selection and lack of inaccuracy. Really appreciate the LEGO designers for finally bringing this build to us, but sadly too many poorly-made compromises. Beautifully designed building, but that this price point aiming for hardcore fans, I'd rather have it be $50-100 more for better minifigures and much more accurate details... Great review as always, Tiago! Excited for you to review the Orient Express

[@TiagoCatarino]

Soon!

[@GreenNinj4]

I agree, except for the last part. Better figures and details should have been included for THIS price already.

[@laserbeamlightning]

@@GreenNinj4Massive agree. As it stands Daily Bugle is still superior for that reason

[@grumpletybooeg3338]

@@laserbeamlightning Couldn't agree more with you and ​ @GreenNinj4 . Not only is Bugle cheaper, figures are by and large better quality, better value for money, this set just isn't what I would be remotely satisfied with for Half A Thousand Dollars. i think there's good stuff here but am broadly disappointed. Easter eggs are neat, sure.

[@laserbeamlightning]

@@grumpletybooeg3338 If they really wanted to do a celebration of the Avengers I would have opted for a bombed out Avengers compound from Endgame. Bigger platform but lot more potential to include a variety of characters

[@ShortRound42]

Good call for Hawkeye and Selvig not having alt-faces with the blue eyes in a trance. That was a big oversight from the designers.

[@lanefaulhaber875]

I'm so glad LEGO does sets like these so well. I feel like they have stepped up the last couple of years and started making these really colossal sets, and it's really awesome. And although some of their minifigure choices are strange, I think they are usually the right choice. For example, I am glad they include 4 chitauri because from my knowledge, we have never gotten chitauri figures, and it would be hard to feel like an army of aliens is attacking the tower, with only one or two minifigures included. Overall seems like a really great set!

[@luckydawg7540]

There were chitauri in the originals Lego superhero’s theme when the first avengers movie came out.

[@BouXIII]

WEll everything seems well, besides the price

[@GJBricks]

Can’t wait to get mine! Had been planning to build a moc of it using three of the smaller playsets, but this is wayyyyy better! Love your passion for the set. Be interested to see where you put it.

Wow fantastic set epic minifigs awsome review

[@AbsolutelyJason]

Great review! Thank you!

[@TylerJGaming1]

It’s perfect!!!!😍

[@CringerKitty]

It is a beautiful looking set, no doubt. Just curious - can the "Hulk windows" be fixed, so that the windows/building look more uniform?

[@vinylyearproject]

The "broken windows" contains the 2 window elements that can just be used to build the windows normally

[@davidliskey3553]

On the daily bugle all the pieces are there to make the window normal, no reason they wouldn't do that here also

[@laserbeamlightning]

@@davidliskey3553 same designer and he’s said it’s important to him that these elements can be repaired to create a whole version of them

[@dylansstudio3877]

Yes it can

[@that-1-boi]

That quinjet is the one they used in the 2012 avengers to bring Cap and Banner to the helicarrier and to fly to Germany

[@TheTagggy]

They should stop using stickers all together.

[@fraserr851]

It’s nice how you can put a minifigure inside the quintet as it is scaled down to fit the build but it’s good got playability and it also matches the style and scale of the build

[@BrickHQ]

Awesome set

[@briandain8432]

Great Review!!

[@jethrowiselee7681]

Definitely getting this

[@C_harlie_J]

vision is stunning!

[@ShortRound42]

LOVE all of it. Love your review, but isn't it bizarre they didn't include the Iron Legion figures and their launch/repair bay that enters/exits from the big 'A'.

[@SophisticatedWaffle]

I seem to notice the window sticking out near the bottom. Is that something you can fix like the daily bugle window or do you have to ignore it? (by the way, the poles on the daily bugle go on the top floor in case you weren't aware.)

[@CBee7]

Scarlet witch was at avengers Tower when vision was created, and also before the final battle

[@Plaster610]

I think that they included Ant-Man and the Wasp because in the comics they were the founders of the Avengers toghether with Hul, Iron Man and Thor, so maybe, they included them as a tribute

[@MrPerez333]

"if you are into marvel as much as I am you are probably getting youself into a 1 metre tall 500 dollar problem soon". You didn't need to call out me like that Tiago 😂

[@Octolithic]

I'm really hoping to get this set for Christmas, though I don't think it's going to connect very smoothly to my only other large set, ninjago city gardens

[@carlsoll]

Wow. Came for a lego review and got a whole run down of the MCU! Great video as always!

[@Fathers_Of_Fortnite]

I can't buy feel the Tower looks like a Fortnite Lama - how do I unsee this! Great review my friend

[@CMYKolours]

With so many duplicate mini figures.... why not a Bruce Banner? Lab coat Banner.... Green hands half transformed Banner/Hulk? Anything Banner??

[@TiagoCatarino]

Exactly!

[@LegoMyEggoProductions]

I know that wasp was included because she was in the original comic book team, and Wong is becoming the connective tissue for the modern avengers. Kevin was probably just for fun :)

[@jardex2275]

That's a pretty good point. What I liked about the Daily Bugle set is that it represented various eras and incarnations of the character. Kinda wish they had done more of that here instead of making it MCU focused, but they already had a large cast of characters to deal with.

[@mr.flupsurf2860]

thanks for the review. i love the set but i gonna wait for the discount.

[@nathonso_edits]

Yooo that vita rush soda dispenser is actually a reference to that coca cola commercial with Ant Man and Hulk! It has a pym logo on it and the slogan is 'smash your thirst'

[@juliussloth4665]

The initials of 4 avengers asking who is watching is the same as Netflix asking which account to use

They included the Wasp since she was there in The Avengers first appearence in the comics.

[@brotatoalan2189]

Tiago could you make a comparison with The Daily Bugle and Avengers Tower to decide which is better? I can’t decide which one to get😟😟😟

[@kirboioproductions74398]

Besides the Mini-fig selection my only complaint is the huge gap on the loading dock

[@user-fb5jz5mv9n]

The quintet comes from the first avengers movie its what cap Natasha and Clint used to get to Manhattan. It also has other less prominent appearance throughout the movies

[@minekim]

the reason why wasp is in this set is because wasp was first member of the avengers in comics

[@rogerhalt3991]

12:35 in the designer reveal video, the curved roof is removed as well. I feel like the is is an awesome set but some rooms could be based on actual scenes rather than moments in the saga.

[@dgotcookies]

The Loki and Vision minifigures are crazy good

[@SilverScarletSpider]

I really like the Translucent Vision Blue Green Minifigure color. I give them big points for that. I think your suggestions to include Agent Coulson and an Iron Legion are reasonable. This set loses a lot of points for putting a random kevin feige fanboy minifig in the set, he isn’t even canon.

[@Movietuff]

They should have made the option switch for the Stark logo if you felt like it.

Excellent review : extremely detailed, and informative. I do love the set, I’m just not sure where I would display it ! It’s Hugh .

[@jamesmoncrieff7685]

whats the set on the very right at the beginning? anyone know?

[@BrentGerno]

Out of everyone reviewing this set, who are part of the ambassador program, your review is the best and most honest about what could have been better and what SHOULD have been better. The fact hawkeye nore Eric Selvig have a second faceprint with the blue eyes is the first big inaccuracy I’ve noticed when it was first revealed, and you are litteraly the first and only reviewer who calls them out on those mistakes. Offcourse whe could have gotten other figures instead of double Tony’s, nick fury, but it’s not as a agregious decision as the lack of accuracy on the whole brain wash aspect of the two previously named figs, wich was the reason Eric Selvig was on top of the tower to begin with. You did mention not understanding what Wanda was doing here, but there is actually a very important scene in age of ultron, where she, her brother quicksilver, cap, Tony stark and Thor battle it out to prevent vision from beeing born, so instead of Wong or wasp whe SHOULD have had quicksilver to complete the charachters from that iconic scene. Talking about that, leads me into my 3rd biggest gripe I have with this set; Why a loki helicarrier jail cell, instead of a vision birth chamber where the previous mentioned scene takes place? I feel swapping out Wong for quicksilver, the jailcell floor for a visions birthpod, and dual molded legs for both captain americas would have virtually made this set perfect for me. Whe have come a long way with marvel Lego, but I feel like there is still much to do when it comes to making Lego understand that most people buying this set are going to be AFOLS(16+ at the least) and that those people want the Star Wars UCS treatment if it comes to €500 sets like these in therms of accuracy and details, often concering minifigs across the IP. The GWP actually shows and proofs my point when it comes to the whole “UCS” treatment for the marvel IP.. outriders??, and a plain black panther??, with a SINGLE seater cab??… that’s the part where I’m not feeling treated siriously as a Lego Marvel AFOL, wich they do get when it comes to the Star Wars IP, so there is no excuse IMO.

The Wasp is in this set because since thee is a comic, and in the comic, wasp is there, so the designer wanted to include all the heroes in that comic.
