Alright! Today I'm taking a look at the new Avengers: Endgame LEGO sets, because I did do a post last year about the Infinity War sets (I know this is a weird post, but this is just until I finally create YouTube videos about these things).
Alright! Let's start off with the smallest set: the 76123 Captain America: Outriders Attack, for $20.
It has four minifigures: Captain America and three Outriders. This Captain America is sporting the new Quantum suit and has a new helmet mold (Finally!). The set, however, is not good. It's just a very oversized bike, and it has too many flames, but I think that all of the blue elements included really look cool.
Next, we have the 76124 War Machine Buster, for $35. It has four minifigures as well; two outriders, War Machine, and Ant-Man (Both in the Quantum suits). Ant-Man finally has a helmet mold that covers the mouth, as well as an addition hairpiece (But that should have been the spiky brown one). Basically, it's the Hulkbuster, but with theWar Machine color scheme. So basically, it's really cool.
The 76125 Iron Man Hall of Armour for $60 is actually awesome. It has two outriders, the Mark 1, 5, 31, 41, Dum-E, and 50. That's awesome. The actual hall is pretty cool. It can be repositioned, stacked, and ultimately whatever you want. Unfortunately, the weakest part of the set is the Igor build, which, while it can fit Iron Man, does not look good. But It still looks pretty cool. Basically, the head is wrong. It needed one of the Hulkbuster printed heads.
After that, we have the 76126 Ultimate Quinjet for $80, and it truly is the ultimate Quinjet. It has six minifigures: two Chitauri, Thor, Hawkeye, Rocket, and Black Widow (With red hair again), all in their quantum suits. This combines my favorite aspects of all of the previous Quinjets: The sheer bulk of the 2012 design, the sleekness of 2015, the blue of 2016, and the accurately proportioned of 2019. But this one adds something new: A trans orange, black, and blue color scheme. That's awesome. It looks like it can hold all of the Avengers it includes in the set (A rarity for a LEGO Quinjet), and a motorcycle bike car thing. It also has a blue brick separator. I have never seen that before.
I saved the worst for last; the 76131 Avengers Compound Battle for $100. The set has about 650 pieces, so it should be about $60, but it has two of the big-figs, and they drive up the price a lot.
It has four minifigures; one outrider, Nebula, Iron Man, and Captain Marvel, two big-figs, Hulk and Thanos, and one microfigure; Ant-Man (In the Quantum suit). Those minifigures are bad. The Thanos looks bad, it's the same Captain Marvel from the $30 set from January, the Iron Man looks worse than the ones in the Hall of Armour, and Nebula is... okay. The build has three sections; a helicopter (Stupid), a car (Stupid), and the compound.
Everything to the left of the compound, the garage, is just wasted space. The build to the right looks okay. It just doesn't look as nice without the trans-blue windows.
The set has four highlights; the smiling Hulk; the microfigure; Nebula; and the Avengers table, which seats three. That all together is about $40 to buy independently. The set is $100. Dang. It's actually awful, and I feel no inclination to buy this set, something I haven't felt in a long time (Last time was the Age of Ultron Avengers Tower set. But that was $50 and I ended up loving it).
So, that's 8 outriders, 11 Avengers, two big-figs, 3 excellent sets, 1 mediocre set, and 1 bad set. I think it's better than last year's sets, however. Better builds, cooler minifigure variants.
