Underwhelming while not bad.
" I got this set for the stones and the Iron Man figure. I know it wasn't the best financial decision, but was unhappy with the costs of the individual mini figures. I thought the building looked nice, and figured why not.
Once I had it I was surprised by how few pieces it has. The box is light and thin. I recently built the Ideas Friends set and that set was significantly more substantial for 40% less cost. Sadly the parts were very generic. I appreciate the gun metal grey studs, but there is a significant number of basic easy to find parts that were a disappointment. The build was simple, but I'm fine with that because its intended for a younger audience.
As for the actual builds I appreciate thats its a location that actually was in the film, but the facade is where the similarities end. Its essentially a husk of a garage and a coffee table for an interior. The car and helicopter are not relevant at all and simply exist for kids. I wish they could have put less parts into that or had only one vehicle. That way they could have put more into the building that connected it to the film. They already had a good idea from Homecoming so I don't get what the challenge was there.
The figures...I think they caught on that people like me buy sets just because they have an Iron Man. Then throw in repeats. Generic Hulk number what 5 or 7? No new mold just some different printing. Cap Marvel is a strait up repeat right? This is the flag ship set of the line? Thanos...Lego can make new moulds for random no named Star Wars characters or barely known DC figures, but the main villain of of the first 10 years of MCU cant get a more accurate mold? He looks like a Rugby playing cave troll. And whats with that hammer? They got it right(er) in the set from the year before with him.
TL:DR Barely Different Iron Man with some tiny stones. Rest is just filler and Lego knows it. Just buy the figs and stones you actually want.
