I don't get why they made a quinjet set for Endgame, they never even used one.
@Randomness:
Because they needed to make _something_ to tie in to the movie besides a Laser Tag Battle Pack.

The ship was in Endgame, just sparingly. It's in a single shot at the 54:24 timestamp in the movie.
Also, when LEGO was given concept art to base their sets off they were given a VERY small amount of content, so they had to make do with what they had. Marvel did what they had to do to prevent any spoilers from leaking out, and LEGO had to do what they had to do to make sets for the public
Hairpiece seems wrong. Been a while since I watched the movie though.
Wait... Thor doesn't look like this in Endgame!

Yeah, I get they didn’t have the longer, slightly more bedraggled piece that they use in later Endgame sets, but this one seems wildly off the mark
I hate these figures man. After the incredible Infinity War line-up, all of these figures just had the same outfit, but for figures like rocket and nebula, they're useless in literally any other context, and it just doesn't fit many of the character's vibes, like Thor or War Machine. Iron man didn't even have this outfit in the sets, so unless you bought a polybag, there was no way to have the full team.

it was probably a holdover from the Thor: Ragnarok line, where it was a much better fit for his sloppy-but-weirdly-stylish haircut in that film. but you're right, for Endgame they should have used any other hairpiece.

It does suit his look in Ragnarok and Infinity War, maybe they just hadn’t had the time to produce an accurate hairpiece so stuck with the one most familiar.
Or maybe Thor was initially supposed to go back to shorter hair by this point of the film, I believe it was Chris Hemsworth pushing for it that kept his Lebowski look throughout Endgame

In fairness, I heard that Marvel was trying to keep, like, a reeeeeally tight lid on anything even remotely spoilery getting out for Endgame, since it was their big finale. The main promotional poster showed the characters still in their immediately-post-Infinity-War appearances (minus Cap's beard), and the trailer that I remember seeing did the same thing. I'd assume it's likely that, for this first wave, Lego were under Marvel's insistence not to show anything from after the movie's five year time skip (except for the suits), which left them with only Thor's appearance in the movie's first twenty minutes to work with.
That said, these first Endgame sets were the first MCU wave that I paid attention to - I didn't watch anything Marvel until Infinity War - so even though they're a poor representation of the movie's content, I still have a particular soft spot for them.

I believe in all the trailers it was just short hair Thor so I dont think LEGO had concept art with long hair fat Thor.
Collecting all of these versions of the Avengers was a real pain. That being said, I like the prints on the suits and they do look good all lined up!

I agree. I made a little display case with these guys in it and looks amazing.
The figures outfits in 80035: Monkie Kid's Galactic Explorer + 80032: Chang'e Moon Cake Factory kind of remind me of those avenger suits here, as they were also the same across the characters.
