is the black panther exclusive to the GWP?

Looking forward to images of the GWP taxi!

By the way,the minifig selection is great,but there's gonna be SOME people whining about it.(tommycbricks, the mandR of lego marvel.)

Now Hawkeye really is Legolas, re - using a common Star Wars face print.

For the record,quicksilver's coming as a figure in the summer infinity saga sets in 2024. The back of the torso leaked a few days ago.

I'd like to see how this looks next to 76178 . Seems great. Pricey, but wow!

I own a total number of zero Marvel set - I might get the Doctor Strange Mansion for the modular street. But this is a nice building, after removing all the characters. Once that's done, I do not think you have $500 value. So it might be an idea to buy the parts separately, build the tower and change the A for whatever you want - (i.e. Jang could then put a J there!) Or, alternatively, you buy the thing at full price, sell all the characters and get a nice tower for a somewhat reasonable price.

Limited appeal to me as I don't see any recolours and/or new parts. But I do like the tower. Certainly happy for the fans.

Wonder if that busted window can be fixed like the Daily Bugle had a solution for?

I like the outside, not too bothered about the rest of it. But it's worth a lot of points, although I don't want it over everything else I still have yet to get.

I keep thinking about the daily bugle which I don't like, but I wonder if I should get, because I want this and I have the sanctorum. From a non marvel fan but a modular fan, is it worthwhile getting?

Great

I'm very much a casual MCU fan, so this was never going to be for me.

But still: it looks really cool, and I'm happy for all of the Marvel collectors who I'm sure will love it!

Must admit I have zero interest in this at all as a theme but intrigued by the taxi GWP which would fit in well with my town (including MOC tower blocks!)

Oh my god that looks amazing and holy fork that price tag. I hadn't seen any of the images before, so I'm a bit blown away by this, and I want it right away but with that price I just know I'm going to probably have to wait because I need to focus on getting retiring sets.

The Daily Bugle will stick out when placed with the Modular’s, not just because of the size but the style. Though it certainly would look better than this one. I really like the daily bugle even though I don’t have hardly any Marvel sets. Just something about it.

The Daily Bugle is all about Marvel fan service to my mind. The building has some cool stuff (the shattered window, the elevator doors, vending machine) but otherwise is mostly stacked window panes. Not my favourite building experience.

A $500 display model for adults, and they still put stud shooters on the Quinjet...

I would say this is closer to a playset than a display model

Apres l,avoir vu dans un magasin en France cela m'as convaincu d'en acheter probablement deux...malgré son prix élevé.

If I were to ever purchase any large Marvel set this would be the one. But alas there are too many other sets I'd much rather spend my money on.

"Ironically, with that price tag the only person who will be able to afford to build the Avengers Tower is Tony Stark himself. (Iron-ically?)"

I see what you did there...

I'm just hoping that none of the Iron man suits are new and exclusive to this set.

Might look into the leviathan because I've been thinking about building one for all the chitauri figs I got laying around.

What element did they use for shwarma?
And that is a lot of trans-clear elements. If I were a rich man, I would become richer by selling the minifigs and just keeping the building.

5201 pieces... and by the looks of it, at least 500 of them will be windows and frames. Seriously though, I'm interested to see this alongside the 2 other Marvel Modulars. As a collector of "regular" Modular Buildings (ever since Café Corner), but with only a passing interest in Marvel, I'm not sure I can justify that price.

Day 1 purchase for me. Love it!

It's quite good but some obvious improvements should be, a properly sized Leviathan (or not include one) and a proper size Quinjet (or not include one). The recent Quinjet is the best Quinjet they have done and it is too big for the platform. Alternatively, they should have made the platform sufficiently sized for the recent Quinjet set, if not to include one. Finally, where is the Stan Lee minifig, Fiege is an ok choice but not sure he deserves a minifig whilst the MCU is in its current dire state, Stan the Man, please!

Dang! First the museum and now an Avengers Tower, lego is going to run my pockets empty this Christmas :D Also, does that Hulk have the new big-fig head?

meh

Is that the Brickset team in the last photo?

I'm impressed with it, and that it fits onto a 32x32 plate - but I do wonder about the balance top-heaviness of it. Hope to see it built in a LEGO store someday.

It looks like the mark 6 with the damage is new. Not sure it'll be exclusive to this set, but first time I've seen that one.

My wallet is looking at me with murderous intent.

$500?! I wasn't expecting about the price!

Well that’s dull and underwhelming. Looks like a very boring build experience, figures have all been done before. Love Marvel but see nothing of interest in this one, easy pass

I the set has way to many inaccuracies

Missing Characters

Quicksilver
Maria Hill
Bruce Banner
Agent Coulson
Happy Hogan

like we really need all the outlanders they were not even in age of ultron which is primarily where this set is from the scene with loki and widow on the helicarrier in this set is ridiculous. Also don't remember Wong even being near the tower. Also I don't like the vision minifig looks from the comics and not the movie.

This set is not as good as Bugle or Sanctum

I'm sure that most people here can afford it just fine. The real deciding factors are time and space.

For me, if I am going to spend $700CAD+ on Lego, I am more likely to pick up a few vintage sets that will bring me much more joy.

Most of the new large scale sets like this are neat to see, but my desire to own them is zero. Seems like Lego is trying too hard to keep up with the MOC community. They can't complete on size and detail and keep sets reasonably priced.

TLG needs to stick with their strengths, like attractive minifigs and fun building experiences. I don't think this set achieves either.

DEFINTATELY should have had Agent Coulson and Happy Hogan. Pepper Potts too?

It looks very good! I look forward to the mods people will make assuming that people who will buy this set also have the previous Avengers tower. Will it be bigger? A better base? More stuff in the inside? Let’s go MCU Avenger loving Afols!

I would definitely recommend the Bugle. It fits in great with the Modulars.

The most egregious omissions are Agents Sitwell, Rumlow, and a few members of STRIKE so the famous “Hail Hydra” scene could be re-enacted in the tower elevator. Does the LEGO Avengers Tower have an elevator? They should’ve added one just for that scene rather than the Loki/Black Widow scene from the Helicarrier.

I want this. And more SHIELD agents to go with it!

"I stumbled across a YouTube video in October of 2020 of a custom-built Avengers tower made by Alex Nunes. You can see his build here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1FcdTjBRqQ

His build was amazing, and it inspired me to start buying pieces for my own tower. Flashforward three years: I finally had all the pieces to build my tower in September, and put it together.

Then low and behold, Lego puts out this set TWO MONTHS later! Arrggghhh!!!!!

Lego's set looks like a cool build, and all the mini-figs and accessories are interesting as well, but $500 is really tipping the scale as far as price-point. I'm still trying to save my pennies for the latest Batcave set! And since I spent the last three years buying parts slowly over time and enjoyed the process of building my own tower based on Alex's creativity - this will not be a set that I buy, but I guess it's fun to dream about owning it."

A few years back LEGO was doing great with the comic-based DC sets, and I wish they’d get back to making them again.

While there might be a small overlap, I believe you mischaracterize this set's critics. I dislike this set because it's massive, and even though it has such size, excluding the characters flying/fighting on the tower, it holds little visual interest in my eyes. The build also looks incredibly repetitive(as many of the larger builds naturally will be). I also generally dislike UCS sets because they are similarly repetitive and visually boring. Only sets like Rivendell or Ninjago City Gardens make me want to spend $300+ on a single set.

THIS WILL BE MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, it's cool, but not interested. Never really been into the LEGO Marvel theme.

Filthy, released after the VIP weekend.

Hoping that this purchase would do all the VIP weekend thresholds, but Lego being Lego think not.

That set should combine with Doctor Strange and Spider-Man building sets to create the LEGO Marvel city trio!

'Ok, so it's big. There's always a way to blow these things up.'

With that GWP and double points, I'm probably going to be a Day One fish on Lego's hook.

Should have been Stark Tower, over 90% of the events and minifigures belong in that tower. I'm so sick of Avengers Tower, it's ridiculous how the building that appears in the most popular movies still hasn't been made yet we're getting the fourth Avengers Tower in 8 years. Stark Tower would have been a more interesting build with its curved shape. If this were Stark Tower it would have sold like hotcakes, is there some kind of mandate to push the Avengers brand over Stark Tower?

Truthfully a lot of people probably see them as one and the same.

I. AM. SO. EXCITED!

I’m mainly surprised that in the whole theme iron man snd war machine never got a chest plate and shoulder pad piece, black panther didn’t get his own short-claw design piece and vision doesn’t get a dark red print.
A mainly great design though if absent of a couple of preferable characters, interiors and colours.

bro finally a set people have been askin for

I'm pretty sure the damaged suit is the only one exclusive to this set. I'm glad, because I wouldn't count that as a separate suit and the un-damaged one will be much cheaper to get.

Yes, after the first avengers Stark tower became the Avengers tower. It wouldn’t make sense to make it strictly a Stark tower as the earlier poster suggested, nor would it have sold better.

@Nabii - long time no see, excellent work as always! :o) The Bugle looks so great in my city, I’m not sure if/where I’ll be able to incorporate the tower but I’m looking forward to it.

This one is definitely worth the 5 hoopties. ;o)

All I’m saying is that had it been Stan Lee included, precisely zero people would be lamenting that it wasn’t Kevin Feige. Had it been Stan, people’s heads would be exploding and every time anyone said “but that price” someone would say “yeah but STAN!!!”.

Please tell me I don't have to insert every glass pane into each of those window frames.

The set looks very well done. It is definitely a stand alone set though, so will be difficult to blend anywhere. I like the idea and details. The amount of minifigures is a thumbs up. The actual minifigures I have little interest in since they've pretty much all been done before. I will try to bricklink Vision since that is unique, but the rest are pretty standard.

I do like that they included America's ass.

And Loki is enjoying the Hulk smash too much methinks.

I think to do such a massive set there needs to be content that has a wide mainstream appeal, like the buildings from the MCU or the Batman movies. I'm not sure a big enough audience is familiar with The Hall Of Justice or The Watchtower. Just a guess, but I think that if DC sets outside of the Batman lore were selling well (enough), Lego'd make them. I mean, why wouldn't they, unless it was a licensing issue?

IMO LEGO got spooked when DCCU sets didn’t sell well and attributed that to people not being familiar with the characters rather than to the movies being terrible (a quality the recent MCU (and Star Wars) movies and Disney+ series increasingly share now that they’ve sacrificed writing quality on the alter of the woke agenda.

Simply go back to producing DC sets based on the classic comics and characters; throw in a Batman with each set, sure; and Bob’s your uncle.

I do not care MCU, it became pathetic for me during the years, but this set is awsome, maybe it can be reshaped as normal skycraper.

Hmm, the outside looks phenomenal, but the inside is quite sparse. The Daily Bugle did a way better job in that regard and seems to be more value for money. If you don't care for the minifigs and extra builds I wonder if this isn't cheaper to bricklink.

I'll have to wait how it looks next to other modulars.

Less than 10 cents a piece for a licensed-IP set with a truly massive number of minifigures plus a GWP with four more minifigures - but the "it's overpriced" comments inevitably come anyway.

You did so well trying to explain things -- and then you threw in the term "woke"... :'-)

Not going into that discussion, but I do agree DC movies in general have been terrible for the longest time, with a few passable Batman flicks along the way. However, if you want to sell toys to kids, you have to make kids like the movies and their characters. Marvel understands that, for the most part, until they release a movie with charachters no one cares about. Doesn't mean those movies are bad -- just unappealing.

I'd applaud comic book accurate sets, DC or otherwise, but at this point it's probably more likely to see Teen Titans sets than anything else besides Batman and maybe the odd vehicle marketed as a Justice League set.

I calls ‘em like I sees ‘em.

The only honest-to-goodness good DCCU movie is Shazam!. It’s a shame the second installment fell far short of the bar set by the first.

I'm not going to spend $500 on a set...but I need this. I think it's finally time to cash in those tens of thousands of VIP points.

I just noticed all the tags. Holy crap that is a lot of them! I lost count somewhere around eighty. And I thought 11021 had a lot. Okay, it does, but not quite as many.

I think it has plenty of visual interest. I'm not really interested in the Marvel theme, but this is a beautiful skyscraper, much more attractive than the Bugle IMO. Too short (as a skyscraper) to fit in the Modulars street unless I can figure out a way to use forced perspective and suggest a built-up area in the distance. No, I have no business buying this given I have no display space (not even enough for a Modulars street, sigh) but it really is tempting. At least it may bump the Bugle off my wanted list....
