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 Sanctum Sanctorum
Pros
- All three Spider-Men from No Way Home (Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, Tom Holland)
- Three full floors with movable interior walls
- The iconic round window with the Vishanti symbol
- Cloak of Levitation on a buildable stand
- Roof and floors lift off for full interior access
Cons
- Greenwich Village exterior is darker than the comics suggest
- Some interior wall printing is sticker-based
- Three Peters mean three different face prints — easy to mix up
