I haven't watched any of the Marvel Movies released after Black Widow yet, so… I'm slightly confused. But I'm liking those minifigs. Probably grabbing it on sale.

One of my most wanted minifig parts is the Qui-Gon hairpiece in light grey or white. Hope they make one soon.

"That Gorr minifig is so plain"

How does it come to the on screen source material?

Wow this is going to be a weird movie. Can't wait!

The build doesn't do justice to the set's moniker.

The goats disappoint, but by the nine that boat more than makes up for it. I love this set so much, the historical Lego builder in me loves it even if I didn't like marvel but I do like marvel and the Thor films are my favourites ( well I'll admit the second one isn't great but it does have some great scenes) and Taiki is my favourite director, so I'm sure to love this film but even if it was a film I'd hate I'm sure I'd still love this set. Goats are one of favourite animals too but they could've looked better but I suppose they'd've needed new parts to look better at this size.

I’m very intrigued. I noticed one of the little white pieces on the left side of the box art sticking out, and so I went to investigate and found that other Marvel sets have similar missing pieces in that white column. Anyone know why?

I was excited for this set on principle of it being a Thor set, given that he has become my favorite character in the MCU, and also on the level of weird established by the Thor: Ragnarok sets back in 2017. This exceeds my expectations in terms of the appearance of the build, the price, and the detail of the minifigures. 4 out of five having printed legs, and all but two of the printed figure parts appear to be exclusive? That's downright awesome.

@Collector_Nonas, one of the very first things I noticed is the displaced brick on the left margin. I also wonder what's the reason for that. I'm glad you mentioned it. (Although, I didn't see this on other Marvel sets.)

@Ephseb:
Marvel’s Thor (as differentiated from the Norse god of the same name) hasn’t always been the God of Thunder. Throg and Beta Ray Bill have both possessed Mjolnir at various times, and so has Jane. The new movie is about the latter, so no matter how serious they try to make it, it’s going to be a comedy the instant the twig who weighs less than the stunt prop hammer picks it up (unless she’s been packing on muscle since they had her hold up a Mjolnir prop at SDCC or wherever that was)."

thanks for the explanation mate :)

I believe it’s not the first time a LEGO helmet has had a contoured nasal. I don’t have it, but I believe Dain Ironfoot’s from one of the Hobbit sets did too. Someone correct me if I’m wrong :~)

***rummages through his DVD collection to find his copy of "Erik the Viking"***

I love this set! The minifigures look awesome (except for Jane's reused face). Gorr is a bit plain but I guess that's how he looks in the movie. Kind of a letdown after Hela's avant-garde fashion.

I’m interested to see how this works since Hella destroyed Mjolnir by pinching it.

I don't know anything about Marvel but this is awesome.

At one point there was a rumor of a Creator 3-in-1 Viking Ship coming this summer. Safe to assume that rumor was off and it's this ship rather than a Creator set?

@mytthor said:
"I hope this doesn't take the place of the rumored "creator" Viking ship that is supposed to come out this year. This one (for me), just doesn't look right"

Don’t worry. We have to wait a little longer for that one.

Brick built goats? And in a licensed set, not a CREATOR 3-in-1? Come on LEGO, you are just trolling us...

@JMLego said:
"Regarding Goatgate, the goats are likely Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder from the comics, his giant flying battle goats. If so, they are often drawn as enormous in the comics (like the size of a polar bear or horse but bulkier). Assuming the movie follows suit, their options were brick built (probably the best method) or fully molded goats that would be one time use (too big to reuse as normal minifig scale goats). Two of them would have added at least $15 to the price, maybe more. Brick goats rule! "

I just searched them up and they look really intimidating in the comics. Here they look like wacky comic relief characters, which makes me feel nervous about the movie.

Looks great, I like this

It really needs printed shields, that is a disappointment. Otherwise it looks rather fun.

@ResIpsaLoquitur said:
"Additional observation: Jane's helmet has a nose. Kind of funny given that Minifigures don't have noses."

Thought the same thing, but it could be good for some birdman stuff

Looks like a fun set. The movie is directed by Taika Waititi so I think it’s safe to say that it’s going to be a great time. I’m guessing the goats we will see in the movie could never be represented by a goat figurine.

Great price. 2 for 1... viking.. marvel.. and a big surprize. I wonder if they are testing waters on viking sets. How well it does.

My favourite part of this set is that dark tan Qui-Gon hairpiece for Thor. That should have been Thor's hair in the Avengers: Age of Ultron sets. It'll also be useful for other historical/fantasy figs.

My second favourite thing is all the shield designs. I would have preferred printed shield elements, but it's better than nothing.

It may be a Goat Boat, but it's not the GOAT boat.

Update: I just realised that Hawkman/Hawkgirl’s helmet has a shaped nose-guard. I should have known that as I have that helm!

Looney white goat for the win.

Needs more Goats!

I'm lamenting again that we haven't gotten an upgraded dual molded hammer since 2012. Or maybe just make a grey mallet piece and have room to insert a 3 wide brown bar.

So was this designed in collaboration with HUW or HUWbot. I know for a fact one was def involved. Can we vote on this?

Immediately yes

This is so weird… of course I’m going to buy it! :-)

Great ship, meh goats.

Classic Castle also has helmets with a nose guard."
Yes, but the difference is - and the point that ResIpsaLoquitur is making - is that the nasal in this set protrudes as if there were a nose beneath it. The CC helmets that were launched in the late ‘70s have a flat nose-guard.

What the... I LOVE IT

@Zander:
The first instance is probably the triangular helmet made for 375 back in 1978. Others include six different batcowls (at least), the LotR Rohan helmet, Gimli’s helmet, two Fantasy Castle dwarf helmets, Marvel’s Captain Marvel’s helmet, two Minecraft helmets, the Spartan helmet, the “opera Viking” helmet, and the Batlord helmet. And as already mentioned, Hawkman/Hawkgirl, and Dain Ironfoot.

Gorr in the comics looks kinda like Bib Fortuna so I was expecting them to use the Twi’lek lekku headpiece they use from Star Wars for him. Maybe that much prosthetics was impractical and they had to simplify it a bit

* Potential Movie Spoilers *

The Hasbro toy version ("Mighty FX Mjolnir", basically a scaled down replica for kids to play with) is full of cracks, as if the pieces of the original have been put back together.

76205 and 76206 both have similarly missing/out-of-place bricks. It’s kind of strange, but this one is the weirdest of the three.

So it's either this set, or one "real" goat for just a little more.

Still it looks like a great set!

why oh why did lego not use the goat!

Some of those, yes, are shaped. Others, no, are flat. Please see my reply to peterlmorris above.

Those goats aren't bad, they are really bad.

I don't think Gorr will actually end up looking anything like this minifigure sadly, but this set deserves to be seen for it's best parts in my opinion. Gorr's comic design would look more like Voldemort's face, with a head piece similar to some of those Ninjago snake villains, or Bib Fortuna... it would also have a more symbiotic design instead of this mummy look, but I seriously could be wrong, this might be Christian Bale's look as Gorr, only time can tell. These goats... they really don't look horrible. We should be glad LEGO gave the one the tongue hanging out. That sticker will be a pain though. I'm hoping the interior design will be epic, maybe some bunk beds or something...? It's hard to tell from the images here, but it looks like some kind of bed. Anyway, I think this set is great, and is going to sell spectacularly well compared to the overpriced Star Wars stuff we have seen so far this year.

Cool set, this reveal came out of almost nowhere since we don’t even have a trailer yet but I’ll take it. Tbh I still don’t see why Valkyrie is a king in the movie, if she identifies as a woman than logically she should be a queen? Than again, the term queen can be used regardless of gender, usually to refer to an LGBTQIA+ person (hence the “yaaas queen” sticker in the Queer Eye set) but I’ve never seen the title of “king” take that sort of meaning. I mean Disney has confirmed that Valkyrie is bi but I don’t think that fits into any of this.

Taika Waititi’s returning to direct. Of course it is!

Really like this set, with a fantastic selection of minifigures. And an accurate hair piece for Thor at last! Those goats could be much, much better though.

Nice price per piece. You finally goat me.

Goats!
Yes!
Finally!

Oh, wait a minute...

I have 4 marvel sets (two of which are Thor), it looks like I might have to get 5, .

That thing is hilarious !

I couldn’t care less about the film but I do like the ship design. I’ll axe the terrible figures and goats so I can just have a cool Viking longboat.

Pretty sure you can get the ship for pennies once you sell the goats/minifigs

For all you naysayers, keep in mind that with some minor adjustments, you will at long last be able to recreate this iconic conflict:

Yet...

I'll take brick built animals over molded ones for something like this representation any day; you build a minifigure, it's only right that you would build a large animal like these for this purpose. And no worries about TLG failing to maintain the master injection mold when you can source all the parts easily in future, plus have the satisfaction of actually *building* with lego instead of just plopping down a prefab piece - if you're not here for the experience of putting two LEGO pieces together, why exactly are you here?

I like the Lady Thor fig. But it needs more actual goats.

This has got to be an April Fool's joke. I refuse to believe it's real--even if it's also shown on the Lego.com site. It's not the set itself that really makes me think that--it's the absurdly low price they say they'll charge for it!

If it's real, it's a Day 1 purchase for me--one for which I'd even stay up late to buy as soon as available!

You know what you are really thinking! You know it!

GOATS!

That there sells the set. Multiples just for them goats baby!

@Zander:
Different side of the same coin. Stuff like the Batman cowls have shaped noses because the goal was primarily to conceal the upper part of the face without being so bulky it obscures Batman’s vision. Stuff like the old Castle guard helmet have nose-guards that are intended to protect your nose (and things you have to go through the nose to get to) from melee combat. For rank and file soldiers, that flat bit of metal is as much as you get, since anything more complicated would dramatically increased the time and effort needed to supply armor to a bunch of cannon fodder who the guy footing the bill probably couldn’t identify by name. For a member of royalty (or a technologically advanced alien species that still insists in parading around in platemail), when money is no object, sure, they could actually shape the nose guard to be contoured like Batman’s cowl.

In each of these cases, it still serves to define the position of a nose that doesn’t exist. Unless you put the helmet on one of the Western natives. Or Timmy. Timmy, smiting the naysayers with Mjolnir. You’re welcome for that mental image.

I always wondered what Timmy's last name is, and now be know it's Timmy Odinson... he must be Thor's genetically defective clone! (because how else could Timmy have a nose but by a science experiment gone wrong?) This also explains how he can he can be run over with a small prop plane a dozen times... there must be multiple clones!

I was really looking forward to a smaller version of the old viking hull and some badass bigger goat animal figures, a little disappointed, but still a cool set I will buy it for sure.

Whoa, goats look wacky but the ship looks cool with the double dragon figure-head w/Stormbreaker.
Wish it had the details of the Mega Construx' Viking Longship from a few years back (brilliant display model by the way). Needs bigger shields, but is still a must get for me.

I know Thor says to the Valkyrie she's 'king' but what he meant was, she's the Queen Regnant of Asgard.
She's a female monarch, equivalent in rank and title to a king, who reigns in her own right over a realm known as a "kingdom", as opposed to a Queen Consort, who is the wife of a reigning King.

"Also: brick-built animals again. Bah. An otherwise perfect looking set, but I could really go for some prefabbed goats."

Get a couple of these goats. I just got one, and he's awesome looking. I mainly ordered because they had decently priced camels (I've stopped being religious but still have dreams of a Lego nativity for Christmas, just because I can).

Some people collect LEGO’s moulded animals, many of which require no assembly. Are they any less entitled to be here than you or me?

This post is rather condescending and ignorant.

Thor has Qui Gon's hair element!

Dang, was really hoping for a viking longboat Creator 3-in-1.

@PurpleDave Not letting the comments being closed on the RSotD get in the way of having a good argument XD
You're wrong about the term barbarian originally applying to one specific group, it was always a derogatory term the Greek used (and Romans picked up) for anyone who didn't speak Greek. It was never a term for one ethnicity that expanded into a something more generic like you think 'Viking' is.
And no writers of the time wouldn't have seen much difference between the raiders attacking their homes and the families back at the raiders' homes...but quite noticeably used 'Dane' or 'Norseman' to describe them. Because that was their nationality, Viking was their job description. It's why the occupation of Saxon kingdoms in not-quite-England-yet was called the Danelaw not the Vikinglaw. They're not Vikings anymore if they've settled

I couldn't care less about Marvel, but the hype of Norse gods is great. I love it!

Would you, could you on a boat?

Why King Valkyrie?

As someone who really isn't into the films or comics, I'll say it looks great! I will be saving up for the Creator version instead, however.

Also see Hasbro is making Lady Thor in the Titan FX line. I'm a big fan of budget 12-inch figures, and Hasbro has really been improving the quality of the face sculpts. The first I bought (Black Widow) was awful, but the last one (Sersi) was great. Mattel quit making True Moves entirely after losing the DC and Halo licenses, and the Spin Master/DC female figures are poorly made. Not to mention, even before the supply chain issues, weren't easy to find.
