Aqua-Great!

" This is a great movie-accurate LEGO set with one of Aquaman's greatest foes Black Manta. Black Manta has great body print and a unique helmet. I was surprised that no head came with the Manta-helmet, so without his helmet Manta is headless which is kind of funny. I give this figure a 4/5 due to no head being included with this figure and there being no leg print on the mini-figure.

Meera's lego mini-figure looks great with detailed print and vibrant colours! Her blue suit contrasts nicely with her red-hair, in Aquaman's words, "Red-head's you gotta love em." And I do love this mini-figure I give it a 5/5.

Aquaman's mini-figure has great print on his legs and chest with the gold scales from the movie. His head is reversible with a calm and angry facial expression which I think is fitting for Aquaman's character. I give this character a 5/5.

The "Manta-mobile" or submarine was fun to build! It looks sharp, I like how spacious the cockpit is for Black Manta to sit in and the black and red colour scheme is very attractive! The shark included with this set is a fun extra which floats on top of the seaweed to make it appear as though the shark is swimming.

Overall this set is very well made with great mini-figures, it's pretty movie accurate, and there's an okay amount of playability.

I personally think this set is fairly well priced, but perhaps adding another shark, mini-figure, or item to increase the playability of this set could possibly have improved this set. All in all, I am very happy with this set! "

"Whatever it takes"

" As a Lego Collector, I needed to purchase this set as this is the best version of the Hulk-buster suit to date! The War Machine Buster's stickers and added weapons make it look amazing and intimidating.

The new versions of Ant-Man and War-Machine I really enjoy also as their helmet-prints and colour-schemes really match their Quantum Realm suits. The body print on the Quantum Realm suits are all the same, but that doesn’t bother me as Ant-Man & War-Machine’s helmets do a great job of complimenting their suits, and their face prints have dual sides to them, I give both these mini-figures a 5/5.

2 Outriders also come with this set, 1 with a shoulder pad and claws while the other mini-figure is the typical Outrider seen in the Infinity War LEGO sets. These enemies are nothing special but they are average mini-figures to fight against, I’d give these Outriders a 3/5.

As for price, this set is slightly more than I hoped to pay as the Hulk Buster armour from the Infinity War Set last year was $40 and came with 4 mini-figures. If you could find this set for close to $40 I would say that’s a steal of a deal.

If I had to buy only one set from the Endgame LEGO series this would be the set to buy as it comes with 4 mini-figures and an amazing War Machine Buster suite. Although this suit wasn’t featured in the movie, I would still highly recommend getting this set as it’s amazing to display or play with! "

Super-figures

" I love this set! Supergirl is exclusive to this set, with god print, she's a very expensive figure who makes this set worth it. Martian Manhunter and Brainiac have great print, Superman is an average figure, and having 4 mini-figures is great for the price of this set. I love the skull on the front of Brainiac's ship as well as the tentacle legs it stands on.

The one thing this set is lacking in is playability features, although for a cheaper set 4 great mini-figures makes it well worth your money. I'd definitely recommend getting it! "

"We'll go with the pirate-angel"

" I bought this set for the exclusive Teenage Groot, getting the newest version of Thor with Stormbreaker, and the escape pod that attaches to the Guardians of the Galaxies ship.

Rocket the Raccoon
- I like how the tail piece needs to be fitted through his legs, Rocket is my first figure I’ve needed to do that with so I found that a unique feature for a mini-figure. Rocket is the same mini-figure as we see in the Ravager Attacks so that’s a bit disappointing having the same version of the figure.
- 3/5

Teenage Groot is great! He has a one of a kind head piece, I like the torso print & his vine attachment. His legs are also plain brown and the vine attachment for his arm is hard to grip and fit into his hand; it needs a lot of pressure to fit into place.
- 5/5

Thor I love his hair, face & torso print, as well as Stormbreaker as it looks really great in his hand. I noticed Thor’s eyes are the same colour unlike that of the movie, perhaps the designers weren’t wanting to give away spoilers for Thor's eyes. My only real complaint about this figure are Thor’s legs are a plain black leg print which is pretty ordinary. Overall I still really like the mini-figure & a newly upgraded Thor with Stormbreaker is boss.
- 5/5.

I like how the escape pod connects with the Gaurdians ship it definitely makes the ship feel more complete. The bubble-like front & rear glass windows make it easy to see inside the cabin of the ship which was a smart open-concept design.

2/3 of these mini-figures are new plus a ship that attaches to a larger set made this a unique & affordable set I wanted to have.

The biggest con of the set was the device was the "Stormbreaker"which looks nothing like that of the movie, it's tiny compared to the movie, and has very little playability features other than a sliding tray and spinning middle piece which aren't that impressive. If the device was a decent amount larger with more pieces and neater playing features I would have been more satisfied with this set. "

Great Value!

" Exclusive to this new set you get a bearded Captain America, a blonde Black Widow, an infinity stone, a mini-ship, and 2 Outriders. For an inexpensive set $16 CDN you get 2 heroes and 2 villains this is a must have set!

Bearded Captain America
- I love Captain America’s new look! His beard, darker colour-schemed suit representing that Captain America is a vigilante from the law since he didn't sign the Sokovia accords.
- I don’t like that his hair piece doesn’t quite cover the back of his beard as you can slightly see the 2 shades of light brown and dark brown from his beard, which looks odd.
- I’m also not a fan of Captain’s forearm gauntlets/ shields as they are not like the shields in the movie. The movie version of the shields have more triangular-shaped-ends whereas these shields look more like claws.
- I would love it if an attachment could be made in the future or for Avengers 4 that looks more like his shields from Infinity War.
- This is still a great rugged version of Captain America, so I’m going to give the Captain a 4/5.

Blonde Black Widow
- Her blonde hair is movie accurate, she has good body and leg print.
- Her green military jacket doesn’t suit Black Widow as she’s usually dressed in black leather.
- Personally speaking I don’t like her fashion choice in terms of her jacket or blonde hair colour and this is visually unappealing. The movie version of Black Widow has a darker shade of green for her jacket almost appearing charcoal or all black.
- Regardless of her jacket colour, Black Widow is still a good looking mini-figure with detailed print so I’ll give her a 3.5/5.

Outriders
- They are very villainous looking
- The Outriders are movie-accurate and have great face and body print.
- 5/5

Drop-ship
- The opening feature on this ship is very smooth and easy
- It is very slick looking, and can seat 2 Outriders
- Being a cheaper set you could even purchase multiple quantities of this set to build an Outrider army.

All in all, you are definitely getting your money's worth with this set and it is a great value! "

"I Hope They Remember You"

" As a Lego collector, I really wanted to acquire Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet.

This ship is well sized and can fit the entire team! I like how spacious the interior is unlike the older 2017 Milano which didn’t have a lot of space for mini-figures. It has 2 seats for mini-figures which is a nice touch. I like that you can see front-to-back in the cabin as its interior an open-concept-design which I love! The back hatch of the ship folds and seals the cabin tightly to load up the team and the capture the Infinity Gauntlet. The ships wings are foldable, mobile, and a solid construct, it feels like Lego pieces won’t fall off this ship easily. The ship is a really nice addition to this set with many playable features. I had a lot of fun with this build!

The scooter for Star Lord and Gamora is one of my complaints as Star Lord & others cannot grip the steering wheel due to it being designed too short. I do like that the space-scooter has a spot for their weapons to clip onto the side though.

Mini-figure wise, we have a new version of Gamora, the old version of Star Lord (classic yes, but nothing special), and a newer version of Ironman with his face having the blue glow from talking with Jarvis during battle which is a neat addition.

Thanos
- Has great face print, the front of Thanos has print for his armour, great looking Infinity Gauntlet.
- However there is no back print, this is one of my biggest problems with big figures as their lack of print on their posterior, such as Cull Obsidian.
- Thanos’ armour is inconsistent with that of the movie trailer in which he is bald or fully amoured; so it looks odd to only have his helmet and chest piece on.

Thanos’ sword looks like a huge "butter knife" (Sorry if this offends the designers). I just can’t get the image of a butter knife out of my head when Thanos holds this, hopefully this sword makes an appearance in the movie to make this weapon seem cooler than how I’m envisioning it.
- 3/5

Gamora
- has great full body print!
- Her hair piece is snug and doesn’t twist which is nice so I don’t need to adjust it to sit correctly
- This is a new and improved version of the mini-figure
- 5/5

Star Lord
- There is nothing new with this mini-figure, which was a disappointment. He does have his classic red jacket, no new facial expressions or beards.
- 3/5

Ironman
- I like his over-powered-Jetpack-which will help him fly in space most likely
- I also like the blue glow from talking to Jarvis a.i.
- the blue blast pieces make this version of Ironman look like the best version of Ironman I have to date.
- 5/5

In terms of price, this is an expensive set for $90 CDN, I feel like Lego could have added another 1 or 2 mini-figures in it or lowered the price to $75-80 I would have definitely said this set is worth what I paid for it; currently this set is more on the expensive side. It would be nice to see other new mini-figures being added to future Lego sets we don’t typically see such as Wong, and Antman.

Conclusion, I would recommend this set for collecting Thanos, the Infinity Gauntlet, collecting a great ship, and better versions of Ironman and Gamora. "

Lego hits a homerun!

" This set was better than I expected!

It comes with 2 villains (Vulture and Shocker), 2 superheroes and a vehicle that has a lot of playable features. The Vulture and the playable van are the reasons I got this set.

Price point: this set is normally $50 CDN but I got it at Walmart for $35 today (30% off) so I couldn't pass up this opportunity! $50 is a bit more than what I’m willing to pay for this set, but if you can find this set on sale it is well worth the purchase.

Exclusive mini-figures and pieces in this set are the Vulture, Shocker, and Spider-Man's web-rope attachment. The rope-web is useful for tying up bad guys or hanging onto the Vulture or Shocker's van.

Spider-Man has great print, his cell phone is a great attachment which Peter Parker uses during the Homecoming movie. This version of the mini-figure is very similar to that which we see in the "Tanker Truck Takedown" during Civil War. This is still a good looking mini-figure so I'd give him a 10/10.

The Vulture was my favourite build of this set! The wings look amazing! Though some may think the wings are a bit big and bulky, to me this makes the Vulture feel even more menacing and reminds me of the movie version of the villain. I love the green and grey panels on his wing which are visually appealing and make them look more stream-line. Vulture's wings pivot and his bottom thrusters can be used as a stand so you can pose the Vulture with ease. The only part of this figure that feels a bit unfinished is the Vulture's feet don’t have claws like in the movie. Adding claws or a foot attachment would have made this set even better! This figure is almost perfect, and so I'm giving the Vulture a 9/10.

Shocker is a pretty nice minifigure I like his glove attachment and the print on his torso. I especially like the yellow and brown colour contrast. There is no leg print on Shocker so for that reason I’ll give him an 8/10.

Ironman has a clear blue face with no Tony Stark inside the Ironman suit which is an Easter egg for a scene during the movie. The print on this Ironman was decent but nothing out of the ordinary, 8/10.

The Van was my second favourite build of the set. I was really surprised by how customizable this vehicle was! If you take off the foldable ceiling off the van you can convert this ride into a pickup truck pretty easily. Also the turret is reversible so you can change the direction of the turret if you want to shoot people behind you during a high speed chase; which was a great unexpected feature! I love the sticker “How’s my driving?” and then scribbled overtop of that print is “SHOCKING!” as a pun referencing the Shocker. The van is a sturdy build, has foldable mirrors, the floor space comfortably fits the boxes, making this an enjoyable build- 10/10.

I got more than I expected buying this set, I am very happy with this purchase! "

Worth it!

" Overall this is an excellent set, you get 2 members of the Black Order, an exclusive Iron Spider, the updated version of Dr. Strange, a great looking Ironman, and very playable building to stage fight scenes.

Lego figure wise, this is a great set for the exclusive Iron Spider and if you do not yet own a Dr Strange minifigure. This version of Dr. Strange is almost exactly the same as the old minifigure figure other than his new hair piece with the grey streaks which is nice, the fire attachments are great for fight scenes.

Iron Spider is one of the main reasons I got this set other than the cool building and play features it has. The new design looks great! I like the gold mixed in with the traditional blue & red colours. One downside to this new costume is Iron Spider’s iron-legs weigh this figure down which makes it hard to balance on flat surfaces and causes him to fall backwards often if he isn’t clipped into Lego bricks. In terms of appearance I’d give him a 5/5 but functionally-speaking Spiderman’s legs are a bit larger and throws hi off balance so I’d need to give him a 4/5.

Cull Obsidian I would say is the major downside to this set, he is okay as big figure. I do wish he had more print on his legs and back though as there is a lot of grey on his back and legs which is very plain. His right shoulder has limited mobility due to his shoulder pad. I’d give him a 3/5 as he’s an “okay” big fig. It is tricky to get Obsidian to grip his hammers as you need to apply some pressure to clip his hammers into his hands.

Ebony Maw is a beautiful looking figure! His powers will likely go toe-toe with Dr. Strange during the movie and he looks very villainous; I love his facial expression! The print on this figure is detailed and good also 5/5.

Ironman with his blue-blast attachments make this version of Ironman look much better! This can help simulate Ironman flying & blasting foes. It’s cool how they have the blue glow on his face from talking to his AI (Jarvis) while operating his suit during battle, that’s a new feature specific to this Ironman. With his detailed print he earns a 5/5 even though he’s not my favourite figure.

This was a very fun set to put together! Constructing the Sanctum Sanctorum’s front resembles that from the Dr. Strange movies and is an attractive looking building. On the inside of the building, I love the green recliner for Dr. Strange’s leisure time, the stickers include fun references from the first Dr. Strange movie, with the Ancient One’s portrait, a copy of that book that contains the dark magic, and they even have a router for wifi as reference for when Mordo gave Dr. Strange the wifi code and explained “we’re not savages.”

Peter Parker’s apartment has the classic brick siding and escape ladders on the outside which are easy for minifigures to grab onto if they wanted to during a fight scene. On the inside, the trap door is a great play feature in case any villains are snooping around Peter’s apartment. I love the bed and pillow which can fit a minifigure onto it easily which is exclusive to this set. Peter’s desk with the computer is pretty great and even though the room feels a bit small this could accurately depict a smaller New York apartment. I liked the amount of additional items include in the buildings including pizza & pizza slices as well as the extra weapons in Dr. Strange’s Sanctum.

It's an expensive set but worth it. "

Finally a cheap Falcon and Black Widow set!

" I bought this Lego set online from Walmart as this set was already retired and it has great minifigures! Thus is the best version of Falcon I've seen so far he had good face print and I like his wings construct. Black Widow is good minifigure, with her short red hair, good body print, and translucent blue batons. Cross bones is a pretty good minifigure also with his flame thrower.

The biggest drawback to this set would be the Jeep which seemed a bit unfinished. I think this vehicle could have benefited from the top of the Jeep being closed or having a hatch opening for Cross Bones to shoot from. The Jeep has "flick missiles" which is a neat feature though I prefer the stud shooters, but that's just a personal preference.

Overall it's a great cheap set for 3 hard to get mini-figures. "

The Cutest Avenger!

" I was given this Captain America Brickhead as a present and it is great! I love the colour scheme used as well as the shield included as an accessory and even a place to clip his shield onto his back like in the movies which was neat! While building this I found it funny that there is a 2 X 2 pink brick just under the helmet to symbolize his brain which is a cute feature of the Brick Headz.

I display this Lego Brickhead on my desk at work so people clearly know Captain America is my favourite avenger. As far as Brickheadz go, this set in my opinion is one of the best ones to date! It's tough to play with Brick Headzs so that's why I only gave this set a 4/5 for playability but it's looks great for display 5/5! "
