Dr. Strange Universe Breaker
" Pros: I really liked this set for as small as it is it got a lot of nice details and a clever play mechanic in the form of the monster. I love the figures and the furniture builds. Also NO STICKERS!!!
So-So: This set was ALWAYS out of stock...I got really lucky and almost a year after the fact managed to acquire one for myself at MSRP but it was so hard to find...even here it was always on back order or sold out.
Cons: The set seems to tie into the movie based on the figures...but notably absent is the main villain of the movie Kaecilius...that was disappointing.

Ms Marvel!!!
" Pros: I love Ms. Marvel and I love that they gave her stretchy arms. This was a fun and concise set. The jet was sturdy and had some fun play features and all 3 figures were good. We got a new villain as well which was a good reuse of existing parts.
Cons: WAY overpriced...almost $.13 per part at MSRP and nothing to justify it...I got it on clearance or I wouldn't have gotten it at all.

Defend The Sanctum
" Pros: Fantastic model that can easily fit into a normal cityscape. I love all the figures...and the level of detail in the build...this is a great set of building parts...and detail pieces...clever design elements include the book cases and the furniture. Overall a really fun set to play with with several play features including the break away wall revealing the Time stone's secret hiding spot. I really like the new blast elements they add something special to making action displays. This set is sturdy as well making it easy to move and store without coming apart.
So-So: Value wise you do get a lot of specialized parts...but at $.10+ a part they are not coming at a value...this is a good set to get at 20% off.
Cons: Stickers. For a $100 set they could easily have added a few more figures...Wong, Pepper Potts or even a couple other characters that weren't even in these scenes. 5 characters seems a little stark given this is the apex set for the movie.

The Benatar Arrives.
" Pros: I like all the figures and really love how the infinity gauntlet was designed allowing the builder to add and remove the stones. This was a great build with some clever irregular design aspects that gave it just a touch of challenge. It is also a great set to secure some less common orange parts. The ship displays well and is very swooshable making it good for collectors and kids both. It is also designed to combine with set 76102. The locking mechanic here is great as it keeps the ship from coming apart in play. I also like that the set was designed without tacky additions that don't add to the set.
Cons: Stickers on curved parts. At over $.10 per part it isn't a value oriented set and they could have easily included Drax and or Mantis just to round out the cast.

Wakanda Forever!
" Pros: This set is a good set giving us access to Shuri's lab which was glaringly absent the Black Panther line. One more infinity stone is included here. I love all the figures in this set. By far my favorite version of Vision.
So-So: This set does not really display well and is a little fragile when moved...it works well as a play set with several action features and rooms to fight through.
Cons: Stickers. The spinning saw blade launcher seems tacked on...these things were massive in the movie and it feels out of place in this set...should have given more minions and made that its own set with Scarlet Witch, Proxima, Black Widow and Okoye.

What World Is This!?
" Pros: This set is a good play set...nice vehicles for each side and a great selection of figures. This feels like the kind of set a kid would want. So happy that Coulson finally got a figure and was quite happy that Lola gets a Lego debut. The "hover mode" rotating wheels and the spinning saw and auto cannon on Detroit Steel are great play features as well. Detroit Steel is decently articulated for play and the set has a nice assortment of colored parts. Coming in at under $.08 per part it strikes high on the value scale as well.
So-So: While I like getting more variety in Iron Man helmets this version is not my favorite and people should be aware it does not have the flip up visor...that said it does reflect one of the more popular versions of Iron Man out right now. additionally this is not my preference in Detroit Steel either...not Justin Hammer. I almost wish this set had been more focused on the comics of the MCU versions of both characters...but they are accurate to their sources so that is strictly a personal preference.
Cons: Stickers.

The Claw...
" Pros: Very swooshable vehicle build without unnecessary extras on the side. I like the figures and while not exactly movie accurate in Klaue and Killmonger's case they were a nice take on them. The ship has nice shooting blasters and looks good in comparison the the on screen versions. It displays very well. The value per part is also reasonable.
Cons: Stickers on curved parts.

Hulk Not Invited.
" Pros: I LOVE THIS HULK BUSTER! It would have been VERY easy to exclude this set from the line since Banner did not go hulk this movie. The fact that they didn't is great. The new Hulk Buster reflects the movie updates well and is very well articulated over the last scale version. The arm mechanic was well done allowing you to power smash using the knob on back...and yet it can easily be disabled if you simply want to pose the armor. It is also a sturdy build for the articulation level making it very payable. Once more an infinity stone is included. I like the figures a lot...Falcon and Bruce look great. As another play feature the bad guys get a shooting cannon of their own. At $.08 per part this set falls into the decent value heading as well. The part variety in this set is also good with lots of little detail parts that can be useful in creating mechanical looks.
So-So: The Proxima figure is off. It must have been made on a preliminary version of the character but she doesn't match the movie version so well. The cannon while a nice play feature doesn't add a lot to the set. I'd probably have eliminated it and Proxima and put Cull in the set instead as that was who Hulk fought in the armor.
Cons: Curved parts with stickers...my personal pet peeve.

Not The Real Avengers...
" Pros: I love that this scene got a set. It was a great moment in the movie and I love the masked thugs...the head pieces are great for re-uses as Halloween party masks. I like the bank build a lot here too, the ATM break away feature and the small but complete structure make it fit in nicely in any Lego city scene. The spiderwebs and play features feel solid.
Cons: At $.11 per part this is high priced for what you get. Definitely get it on sale but worth getting. Stickers.

Wasps Ghosts And Ants
" Pros: I really like the build of this set...it feels like they went for the movie look. I liked that a lot. I love all 3 figures and the set is solid and swooshable. I love the inclusion of the trophy and the particle container...subtle but important details from the movie. Overall the set turned out well. This set actually has a lot of good parts for greebling.
Cons: At $.10 per part this set is overpriced especially given the rest of the marvel line this year. The other big problem was the canopy parts...the ones included in the set had seriously messed up printing that did not even remotely match the box. I had them replaced but the new ones were equally messed up. Lego did send a 3rd set and they were fine. Seems like there was a big QC issue on those though. That is rare for Lego and they fixed it in their usual diligence but it was something that should have gotten caught sooner.
