"I thought it was a water truck.."
" By far this is my favorite set of the civil war line (I don't own the airport set so I cant say for that) and maybe even my favorite set of 2016. I had ordered this set from Toys R Us and expected it to be delivered on 8/4/16 but I was surprised to have it come on the first, the sets release date. The set was fairly easy, only takin me about 20 minutes to put everything together, but I did lose a couple pieces and spent 5 minutes trying to find them.
The Build:
The build is a Roxxon oil tanker as shown in the picture, while this did not appear in the movie (or well, in that color) its a fun easter egg to the Roxxon company in the comics. As I said, the build was fairly easy and had a really fun feature with the handle, once you move it the top blows open and fire shoots out. I thought this was really cool for a set, for the car part it was fairly decent and at first I didn't think I could fit a minifigure in but I could. For the wind sock (I believe that's what its called?) it was also very interesting and a fun add on to the set, as well as the motorcycle, which was the third one in the civil war line.
5/5 Build

Minifgures:
While many probably wanted the minfigures most out of the set, I thought build was a great add on and was a main factor I purchased the set, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the minifgures.
Hawkeye: While many were in outrage that Hawkeyes face was the same as Captain Americas from Black Panther Pursuit, it didn't really effect me. I just took off the head and replaced it with Bilbo Baggins, because it surprising looks pretty fitting. I really enjoyed the printing on the back and front as well as adding the detail of him having a cut off sleeve. The black and purple was also a fun mixture for the minifig. 5/5

Captain America: Somewhat of a disappoint to the set (Considering this is our third Cap in the line) I could understand why they'd throw him in there since its his film, but a minfigure scaled ant man would've been a lot better and more fitting. It's the same old Captain America from the AoU so nothing new but that doesn't mean the minifgue isn't a good one. 4/5
Vision: Surprisingly enough from, Visions minfigiure doesn't get a lot of praise from the Lego fans but I disagree, he's by far one of my favorite minifigures. His entire printing just looks so great, the green and the purple fit really well with the figure and I'm glad they changed the gem in his head. 5/5
Spiderman: The man of the set, Spiderman was honestly a great part of the set, he is probably the most printed minfigure in the Marvel line, with head printing from back to front of his head, arm printing, toros and back printing, leg printing and double colored legs, making his minifgure very unique. They captured the new Spidey extremely well and I am glad to add him to my minifgure collection, along side Miles. 5/5
Overall this was a great set, even though I could nit pick and believe I have a lot to say about it, I feel its good to give it a positive review because it was a great set.

"Say thank you to the bird"
" For this set, I'll be going over the basic of the set, the builds, the minifigures, the accuracy of the build, and the pros and cons.
The basics:
The basics of the set are simple, it comes with one vehicle which belongs to Crossbones himself, it also comes with a small avengers motorcycle with a handle bar for Black Widows weapon. This set comes with three minifigures: Black Widow, Falcon, Redwing, and Crossbones. The weapons include one flame thrower, 2 blue Lightsaber hilts, and two guns.

The Builds:
The builds of the set are extremely easy, it includes a simple made drone that belongs to falcon, it comes with two flick missiles (Thought you aren't supposed to flick them) and a holder (For which I think is the tail or the eye?) For the car, its a mix-matched vehicle that seems to be made in a rush, the vehicle has a function in the back that spills two crates of radioactivity and two flick missiles on the top. The motorbike that Black Widow uses is also simple, only being about 5 pieces put onto each other.

Accuracy:
The build is unfortunately, not as accurate as I hoped. The car that Crossbones used is completely different in the movie, as is the bike that Black Widow uses.

Minifigures:
Black Widow 4/4
She is the same as in AoU but still an amazing figure. I thought I was going to be extremely disappointed with her hair piece thinking it would be flimsy and poorly made, but I was wrong. The hair piece fits amazing and had no trouble with it so far. For the torso its amazing as well, fits perfectly with the suit she wears in the movie, along with her pants
Crossbones: 5/5
One of my favorites of the Civil War line, his face fits really well, its not extremely accurate but looks good on him, and his torso as well. Making it seem mismatched (Like his car) and out of place, but still works well. His pants are alright plain and I wouldn't ask for anything more.
Falcon: 3/5
I was excited for him, but a bit disappointed that his hair was not that I expected, I would've also asked for a face without the goggles so I could maybe represent the film in which he was dressed normally. The wings and the torso are done well, but I would've rather had him with printed legs.
