The verdict

I opened this set expecting a helicopter and got a minifig showcase with a helicopter attached.

Rescue (Pepper Potts in her Endgame armor) is genuinely one of the best Marvel minifigs LEGO has ever printed, and that alone had me grinning while I built. The vehicles themselves, though, are where I have to be honest with you, they're original designs loosely inspired by the movie rather than screen accurate builds, and they show it. If you collect Marvel minifigs or you have a kid who loves Hulk and Endgame, this earns its spot on the shelf. If you want a helicopter that actually looks like something from the film, keep looking.

Best for: Marvel minifig collectors and Endgame-obsessed kids who want Hulk in the box, not just on the box

The full review

What it is

The first thing I did when I cracked open the bags was hunt for Rescue, and she did not disappoint. Pepper Potts in her gold and red battle armor is printed with real care, and next to her the two-tone Hulk big figure with his own little Infinity Gauntlet is just a fun, chunky presence to have in your hands. Black Widow rounds things out, and the two Chitauri troopers mean you've instantly got a battle on your table the moment the last brick clicks in.

The catch

Here's the part I have to be straight about. The helicopter and the Leviathan flyer are not the ships from Avengers: Endgame, they're LEGO's own stand ins, and once you know that it's hard to un-see it. At $59.99 for 483 pieces, you're paying a licensed-set premium mostly for the minifigs, and the sticker sheet (14 of them) instead of printed detailing feels like a corner cut on a set this expensive. The drop function where Hulk releases from the helicopter is a nice touch but it's a one-trick gimmick, not the reason to own this.

Who it's for

Get this one if you're chasing the Rescue minifig for your collection or you've got a young Hulk fan who wants the figure and the smash-play more than screen accuracy. Skip it if you're after a faithful Endgame vehicle recreation, because that's not what's in this box.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

Building this is quick and a little uneven. It comes in three bags with a 100 page instruction book, and the helicopter goes together fast with straightforward, chunky construction that's clearly aimed at younger builders rather than anyone chasing an engineering challenge. The Leviathan flyer is a similarly simple build. Neither took me long, and neither had a moment where I stopped and admired a clever technique.

The pieces that actually earned my attention were the minifigs. Rescue's armor printing is detailed enough to look genuinely premium, and Hulk's big figure mold with the opening Gauntlet hand holding the Infinity Stones is a fun little feature you don't get in every Marvel set. Two Chitauri troopers add army-building value that stretches the play beyond just the core heroes. For 483 pieces and five minifigs, the piece count itself is unremarkable, this is a set where the value lives almost entirely in the figures, not the parts bag.
