A new Marvel inspired model is scheduled to be released on June 1. The LEGO Helicarrier Set contains 3,057 pieces and is meant for ages 18 and up. Standing at 11.5 inches high, this challenging set contains runways, engines, a control tower, and interior rooms. It also comes with six different minifigures representing fan favorite characters. They include Winter Soldier, Captain America, Phil Coulson, Maria Hill, Hawkeye, and Nick Fury.
Inspired by the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier from The Avengers movie, this set is perfect for any adult Marvel fan. It’s the perfect size to display on shelves along with other superhero merch. Plus, it’s versatile. As the LEGO site says, the set contains “dynamic features, such as a runway which removes to allow access to the interior and a Quinjet that can be placed midair using a posing stick. Internally, multiple scenes from the Avengers movies are referenced using simplified representations of familiar characters.”
Although the set isn’t available until summer, there are plenty of other Marvel-based sets that you can build in the meantime. The LEGO store is selling an Avengers Tower, which contains 5,201 pieces and stands at 35.5 inches high and 14 inches wide. The set also comes with a whopping 31 minifigures, including Nick Fury, Hulk, Thor, Ant-Man, Wanda Maximoff, Vision, and Black Widow.
There is also an Iron Man Bust available, which will take less time to build with only 436 pieces. When completed, this model has two adjustable flaps on the back, two retractable shoulder cannons, and a rotating head. It also comes with a printed nameplate and a removable Iron Man minifigure.
If you’re looking for something different, there is also a Miles Morales Mask, the X-Mansion, a Ravager Jumpsuit Groot, and the iconic Marvel logo. They can all be found on the official LEGO site.
