Pros & cons
What I actually noticed.
LEGO Marvel Avengers Tower
Pros
- 31 minifigures — the largest figure roster of any LEGO set in history
- Six floors with iconic MCU scene staging on each
- Tower silhouette matches the MCU film design exactly (with the iconic A logo)
- Lifts apart by floor for full interior access
- Best display companion for the [Daily Bugle](/reviews/daily-bugle) and [Sanctum Sanctorum](/reviews/sanctum-sanctorum)
Cons
- $500 is the highest Marvel LEGO MSRP to date — material commitment
- Tower silhouette is tall — needs serious vertical clearance
- Some MCU figures duplicate ones you may already own from solo movie sets
LEGO Marvel Thor's Hammer (Mjölnir)
Pros
- 1:1 scale Mjölnir with movie-accurate proportions
- Norse rune-engraved display base
- Includes a Thor minifigure with cape
- Tesseract included as a small accessory
- Smallest-footprint Marvel sculpture set — fits any shelf
Cons
- Hammer head is hollow, not solid — feels lighter than expected
- Display angle is fixed (you can't easily reposition the hammer)
- Some sticker work on the rune base
