Finally, your epic LEGO recreation of the Avengers film can be accurately depicted. Yes, LEGO has heard our cries and is unleashing a ginormous, 2,996-piece, S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier set. Thatâs right — nearly 3,000 pieces, folks. Bigger is better, after all. Plus, as we all know, the ultimate fate of all Helicarriers is a dramatic and bombastic crash sequence, and what better way to capture that than with a LEGO set?
Revealed exclusively to The Wall Street Journal â the go-to source for the latest LEGO news â this monster set comes with everything you need to recreate your favorite movie and comic moments. Along with the Helicarrier, the set includes several other microscale vehicles and 5Â minifigures, one of which is the amazing Maria Hill. Since the set is technically microscaled â although, at 31 inches long, calling this thing micro seems ridiculous â it also comes with 12 microscaled figures to man and operate your new flying behemoth.
Logistically, finding a place in your home to display this bad boy might be an issue, but hey, if friends and family cant appreciate a gorgeous centerpiece like this, maybe itâs time to get a new social circle. Just imagine having a dinner party where guests casually pick appetizers off a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier runway. Why, youâd be the talk of the town. Or the Hail of the Hydra, even.
The LEGO Helicarrier set is due in March and has a price tag of $349.99. Start saving those pennies, kiddies.
