Can't Wait for Avengers: Doomsday? Here Are the Best Marvel LEGO Sets to Keep You Occupied Until December

There’s no better way to start the holiday season than an advent calendar. Marvel fans are in luck this year—they can get superhero and supervillain minifigs alike. From Wolverine to Dr. Doom, you can gift them two sides of the same coin, and we’re here for it.This is one of the newer sets Lego has to offer, and it’s inspired by Spidey’s latest feature film, Brand New Day. It features minifigures of some of the film’s main characters—Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, the Hulk, Boomerang, and Scorpion. It gives off a real New York vibe, thanks to the carefully designed cityscape building and the obligatory hot dog vendor.Advertisement - Continue Reading BelowThis is another epic Avengers: Endgame-inspired set that’s still readily available with two-day shipping. This one is a little more interactive and depicts the thrilling final battle from the 2019 movie. It’s a great way to stock up on minifigs—there’s a whole bunch of them. The set features Captain America, Black Panther, Iron Man, The Scarlet Witch, Ant-Man, Iron Spider, Doctor Strange, Falcon, and Chitauri minifigures, plus larger-sized Thanos and Ant-Man mech figures. Technically speaking, they’re minifigs, too. Just a tad bigger, obviously.This one is a little throwback. Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man made a cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home, but this harkens back all the way to 2007’s semi-controversial Spider-Man 3 (and by controversial, we mean not as good as the first two). If you’re a fan of the OG Sony trilogy, this is a must-have, and it features the three main players from that film: Spidey, Sandman, and Venom. Topher Grace was an interesting choice as the movie’s big bad, but we’ll still take his symbiote-inspired minifigure any day of the week.Advertisement - Continue Reading BelowYou wouldn’t think Marvel’s band of superheroes needs a dedicated mode of transportation, but if you've seen the movies, they absolutely do. At the very least, it makes for some unforgettable dialogue. You can own your own personal version of the Quinjet—minifigs and all. The 795-piece set makes for a killer display piece, and it’s essentially a must-have for any Avengers fan, young and old.This one is top-tier: If you ever wanted to look Iron Man dead in the face, this is probably the best shot you’ll get. It’s a miniaturized bust that comes with the obligatory minifigure, and it’s absolutely a superhero nerd’s dream decor. It’s only 436 pieces, so it’s fairly easy to put together, but it’s for ages 18 and up, making it the perfect piece for adult collectors and kidults (like myself).Advertisement - Continue Reading BelowYou can also go the Spider-Man route. I’m a little partial to Spidey myself, and this one comes with a minifigure version that’s a must-have; it’s one of the rarer ones of his Iron Spider suit from the earlier films. It’s also 20 percent off at the time of this writing, so if you can get it on sale, it makes a great under-$50 piece.Age of Ultron is another classic, and this is a pretty interactive way to show off your fandom. $100 is also pretty freaking reasonable for a set with this much going on. It’s a little over 600 pieces and features Black Widow, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, and three Hydra Trooper minifigures, as well as a bulkier Hulk figure to recreate the iconic scene. Not too shabby.Advertisement - Continue Reading BelowThis is a crossover if I’ve ever seen one. The Guardian of the Galaxy star gets a symbiotic makeover—or, more accurately, a takeover. This is a little bit of a departure from your classic minifigure-clad set, but it’s a doozy nonetheless. It’s 630 pieces in total and makes for an awesome display piece. It’s the crossover you didn’t think you needed, but absolutely do.We can’t leave the kiddos out. Technically, many of the sets on this list are intended for adults, but this one is especially great for kids 4 years and older, which is on the younger end of the Lego age range. It’s only a little over 100 pieces, which is perfect for the little one, but you can find an excuse to get it for yourself. It wouldn’t be the worst way to spend $30, that’s for sure.Tim Kohut is the Deals and Trends Editor for Popular Mechanics, Men’s Health, Best Products, and Runner's World.
