Great set, With a few bad details.
" The Car (Lola)
The car build is made from the first bag of parts. As you might be able to see, it does look very nice. It's very streamlined, and the license plate is a printed brick, so that was a nice surprise. The only thing I didn't like was the mechanism that turned the car wheels so it can "fly". The axle that makes this play feature possible has a couple of ugly yellow pieces on it that kind of make it feel out of place. Just a nitpick, but it does effect the overall feel of the set.

The Detroit Steel Mech
This build is made from two bags. The first bag will feel very overly familiar to anyone who built the Age Of Ultron Hulkbuster set, and is a somewhat bland build. It does look nice, but the fact that they're just re-using an old design just kind of irritates me. Also the angular fins that attach to the shoulders have a very limited range of movement, and it is very hard to make them look nice. The build improves vastly with the legs and forearms (bag 3), however, as they use a very imaginitive clunky boot design. the only thing I didn't like about the forearms was that the buzzsaw looked absolutely terrible until I reversed it.

Minifigures
Agent Coulson
His head is very detailed, but his pants have no printing. Also, the printing on his torso is not very detailed on the back. 3/5

Iron Man
This iteration of Iron Man is based on his most recent armour from the comics and is very different from previous iterations of his suit. For one thing, this time around his helmet doesn't open. I do like the more colorful classic red and gold color scheme, and the "power blast" pieces are gimmicky, but fun. 4/5

Justin Hammer
This was, by far, my least favorite character in this set. His head does not look like a bad guy, and I would've liked a different helmet mold, instead of a printed version of the Iron Man one. His legs and torso have really cool printing, but it only serves as a reminder that the rest of his fig could have been cooler. 2/5 "
