So I took my daughter to see the movie last night, and I loved it. But now I can’t stop thinking about the LEGO Avengers Endgame sets. It’s like they’re from a completely different movie than the one I watched…
FINAL WARNING. SPOILERS AHEAD
No clue who designed the LEGO Avengers Endgame sets
LEGO 76131 – Avengers Compound Battle
There is no Avengers compound battle. Well, there is, but the Avengers compound is just a giant crater. And there certainly aren’t any jeeps or helicopters in the battle.
And Captain Marvel’s hair is all wrong.
LEGO 76126 – Avengers Ultimate QUinjet
Did the Avengers even fly in a Quinjet? At all? I know they didn’t use one in battle, that’s for sure.
LEGO 76125 – Iron Man Hall of Armor
I was REALLY hoping for Tony Stark to go into a hall of armor and suit up in some new super sweet suit. Nope. No Hall of Armor whatsoever.
LEGO 76123 – Captain America Outriders Attack
What the heck is this??? The Captain doesn’t even touch a motorcycle of any kind!!!
LEGO 76124 – War Machine Buster
Yep. You guessed it. No War Machine Buster. Busted!
While the sets are cool enough in and of themselves, they just don’t have anything to do with the movie. I can see these sitting on shelves forever. What kid wants toys from scenes that don’t actually happen?
I won’t get these until they’re at least 50% off.
What are your thoughts? Have any licensed sets missed the mark so badly before?
I am an Adult Fan of LEGO (AFOL) and an active member of the Michigan LEGO User Group (MichLUG). I have loved LEGO for as long as I can remember. I am currently working on the following models:
– UCS Millenium Falcon
– Emmett’s Apartment Building
– Gringott’s Bank
I think as a) fans have complained about Lego sets givingq spoilers in the past (such as with Civil War), b) the Russos liking to mislead fans with fakes trailers etc, Lego probably got very sketchy details of the film & plot. I notice that Lego haven’t mentioned ‘Endgame’ anywhere on the box and just go with Avengers, unlike with previous sets that do have the film titles on.
Excellent points! I didn’t even notice the boxes don’t say “Endgame”. The power of the mind filling in blanks, I guess.
