It's a great lego, it's massive, and it comes with a ton of mini figs. But lego, it's not 31, stop saying it is. It's 28, maybe 29 if you count hulk.
It was a pleasure to build. Some repetition with all the windows, but honestly they're broken out amongst enough bags, it wasn't annoying.
Fewer Easter eggs than I'd expected. In the end, the avengers just don't spend much time in the tower, so many of the references are just to the avengers universe in general, not the tower.
I'd says the daily bugle was a more fun build, but avengers tower looks amazing and seems more playable. The daily bugle looks amazing on display, but I'd think it was less fun to play with. Green goblin has already destroyed like 20% of the front of the building... But avengers tower is just a big, playable set. I'm not a kid and don't play with these, they go straight onto the display shelf. They look great there. But I'd think avengers tower would be a blast to play with... If a kid could manage the time it takes to build.
Great set. If you're even thinking about it, just buy it.
Is a great set and as you build it it somehow keeps getting taller and taller. A lot of interior space but I ran into the problem when I was throwing away a bunch of the plastic bags I forgot one of them still had the 2 long flex beams (I don’t know the actual name) that go around the hanger. I’ve tried looking on pick a brick but I can’t find them there. What’s the name of the piece or where could I find it
I would recommend this to a friend!

Oh no, we'll be happy to help! Get in touch at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can make sure you get the right replacement parts.
This set is nothing short of spectacular – a true showstopper! Its sheer size and stunning appearance make it an unmissable addition to any Lego city. The exterior is flawless, earning a solid 10 out of 10 for its impressive design.
However, the interior doesn’t quite match up, especially when compared to the Sanctum set, which was filled with engaging micro-builds, rich storytelling elements, and interactive play features. In contrast, the interior of this tower feels a little empty, leaving a bit to be desired in terms of detail and engagement.
Ultimately, this set is a must-have for its grandeur and visual appeal – it’s all about adding a massive, iconic building to your Lego collection!
LEGO really came through for me this Christmas! We are LEGO collectors and last year I gave hubby the Loop Coaster. The year before that was the World Map. Both sets he loved. When I saw the Marvel Tower release, I knew immediately it was going to be an epic Santa gift! We have a 7 and 9 year old who are also going to enjoy building it alongside my husband. Once finished, this set will display next to the Loop Coaster and World Map. Note to LEGO if you are reading this, please make it possible for me to design and build custom LEGO murals in my house. I only have so much shelf space to display our LEGO sets, but I have tons of wall space to fill. Let’s normalize covering walls in LEGO dots. Pretty please!
Lego has gone out of their way to give both Marvel fans and lego builders a set unlike any other. The design aspect to replicating the shape of the building is no feat.
When it comes to building, there are a few repetitious spots such as installing windows, the front removable window piece and roof, and many would complain about the need for stickers, wishing the decals were printed on. While I agree, I also disagree as applying stickers rely on and dexterity, especially if building a fragile component.
I have two issues with this set, the first being that although this set was designed to me whimsical, targeting the Marvel's fans, allowing them to recreate the war scene, being a Lego modular builder, I prefer to look towards the "realistic" side than whimsical and such, wished that Lego included non technic slot pieces for builders who didn't want characters to "fly in the air", "jumping off the roof", or "flying off", but have a more "realistic" building to add to the modular lego layout.
The other issue would be placing lego character within the building. Due to the minimal spacing, that would be difficult as the majority of the characters would be outside, but again, with images shown on the box of character within the building, had lego included that within the instructions, it would make things easier.
Apart from these two issues, this set is worth its value and while others might have their own complaints, I do strongly suggest that modular fans and/ or Marvel fans purchase this set and add it to your lego empire.
As for the company, we have lego city modular buildings, Harry Potter Modulars, Ninjago and Avengers. Perhaps DC Comics could branch into the modular line with The Daily Planet, Wayne Manor, or something. Just a thought.
