Items that are not available in store will take 3-5 working days (excluding weekends and bank holidays) to be delivered to your nominated store. I always wonder how much say the licensor has in it. I mean, there have been a few instances (I think mostly with Star Wars, so also Disney) where Lego released a set before the movie was out, and it turned out their design was substantially off. Seeing that cavernous interior I wish we got another mech at this scale that isn't licensed. Just pure creative goodness. And we wouldn't have to worry about inaccuracy so much. Because man, a mech big enough to have an interior would be cool. This just isn't doing it however. IBut obviously I'm just guessing here. I bet they could have made a great documentary of the development process of this set...." The finishing on the sides of the torso also leaves something to be desired, with gaps continuing underneath the shoulder joints. I like the golden bands around the sides though, which roughly correspond with the source material. The metallic gold details on the torso are correctly situated too, but become easily dislodged because they are each attached using one stud.

While those inaccuracies are inexcusable, in my opinion, the scale of this model is undoubtedly striking. The figure measures 52cm in height and the biggest LEGO mech to date, comfortably surpassing even 21311 Voltron! In fact, the previous direct-to-consumer Hulkbuster, 76105 The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition, looks surprisingly small beside its modern counterpart. Metallic gold highlights are scattered across the Hulkbuster and those surrounding the head are effective. The ingots on the chest look splendid and I like the decorated dome as well, faithfully replicating details from the onscreen mech. Unfortunately, the head is fixed too low between the shoulders, which completely ruins the shape. The LEGO Group was founded in Billund, Denmark in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen, its name derived from the two Danish words LEg GOdt, which mean “Play Well”. Today, the LEGO Group remains a family-owned company headquartered in Billund. However, its products are now sold in more than 130 countries worldwide. LEGO has produced almost fifty versions of Tony Stark and Iron Man since 2012 and the latest edition is relatively bland, unfortunately. This minifigure takes inspiration from Avengers: Age of Ultron and the scene in which Tony supervises the completion of Vision, sporting his partial Iron Man armour. The design therefore reflects the movie, but choosing this minifigure to accompany the Hulkbuster seems odd. Some metallic gold and pearl gold pieces are included though, recreating the protective actuator covers from the original Hulkbuster. The protruding details on the front of each foot also reflect the source material. However, the whole foot structure should be bulkier and integrated properly with the ankles, rather than relying upon a few scattered panels to disguise this transition.II'd think it's more likely Lego's own marketing department were adamant on that one feature, as a way to push the sales of that set a bit. If done right it would have benefited Lego, not so much Disney/Marvel." This premium and highly collectible massive LEGO set is a great way to show off your passion for superhero films, comic books, and of course Iron Man and The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

This LEGO Marvel set depicts the Iron Man Armory (76216) building toy set. These Marvel toys are bursting with accurate details, features and classic minifigures to delight any fan of Marvel Studios’ Infinity Saga movies.They're based in convenient locations including supermarkets, newsagents and train stations. Plus they're often open late and on Sundays. October 2022: Today, the LEGO® Group is excited to announce its latest LEGO Marvel Studios’™ Release – The Iron Man™ Hulkbuster™ set, featuring Iron Man as he appeared in the mega-hit film Infinity Saga – Age of Ultron. Placing the figure inside is fairly simple, as long as the legs are positioned shoulder width apart and the arms are posed by Iron Man's sides. This could be an unusual and appealing means of displaying the Hulkbuster with 76206 Iron Man Figure inside, but the surrounding structure looks unfinished. Once again, some mechanical details could have solved this issue. I'd rather celebrate winner Lego sets with the community, but that is becoming less frequent. The Hulk-diaper-buster is a loser, represents a bad trend for Lego, and I will not pretend otherwise. " Among various disproportionate areas, I think the Hulkbuster's midriff is the most apparent. The metallic gold accents on the chest and the belt-like structure around the waist should be directly adjoining, rather than separated. Removing this segment of the torso would greatly enhance the entire model, but doing so would entail significant modification and remove space for 76206 Iron Man Figure.

I mean, it's a good looking titan-sized mech except for the diaper, plate between legs and some unfinished bits. But it just doesn't work as a model of the hulkbuster! Also, go to a shop like Action and see how much licensed Disney crap is sold there. It doesn't seem they actually care that much. As long as you pay the fees you can make whatever terrible product you want." It’s new in concept, interesting in detail, different in design and for all those things, a welcome change of pace for a theme entering its second decade. Now see how a buildable Hulk minifigure looks…Official images present the shoulder armour folded against the torso, as shown below. I cannot understand why because these armour panels are adjustable and they should cling to the upper arms, rather than the chest. Also, the pectoral chest plates are vastly oversized and seem quite flat, given they are not angled properly.

I always wonder how much say the licensor has in it. I mean, there have been a few instances (I think mostly with Star Wars, so also Disney) where Lego released a set before the movie was out, and it turned out their design was substantially off." The new Hulkbuster was developed in scale with 76206 Iron Man Figure, which slots inside the chest. The models are therefore correctly scaled together, although they also share proportional issues. Ultimately, while the size of the Hulkbuster is impressive, establishing its scale in relation to an unremarkable buildable figure was probably not a wise decision. There are no minifigures included in 76206 Iron Man Figure, because the entire set is just one large figure… — Price — There are obvious gaps between the waist and the upper legs, which might be understandable if the legs could move. However, they are static, so these gaps should have been closed. I like the texture on the legs though, including accurate metallic gold panels and some mechanical details across their front and sides. These 3x3 round tiles glow in the dark, as shown below. However, the smaller repulsors above the ankles are represented by metallic silver 2x2 dishes, while the glow-in-the-dark pieces are inexplicably placed inside the palm repulsors. I honestly wondered whether I had made an error while building here, but the instructions definitely show metallic silver dishes on the legs.The proportional issues with this rendition of the Hulkbuster are immediately noticeable, as there are various areas of concern. The torso has been stretched, the head is recessed too much and the legs are too narrow, which spoils the Hulkbuster's stance. Taken in isolation, some sections feature considerable detail and look superb, but the overall model is poor. This set comes in an “thumb punch” style box featuring the logo of the Marvel Cinematic Universe catch-all branding, “The Infinity Saga.” The fully constructed figure appears hovering in the air, with his palm-mounted repulsors ready to be raised for battle. Stark wore many, many different armors during his tenure in the MCU. This set specifically is modeled after the Mark XLIII armor, which was featured in 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron. An image of Thanos holding up the Infinity Gauntlet appears on the right-hand side of the box. Also true, but that isn't premium product. Sometimes just a random thing with a logo or artwork slapped onto it. However, when it comes to figurines, action figures, dolls, or premium products, like expensive LEGO sets, I'm willing to bet there's a team of product managers overseeing those. Licensors always have to give their final approval before a product is being manufactured. So someone somewhere in an office at Disney signed off on those LEGO sets that deviate heavily from what we ultimately see in theaters or on our TVs. However, that doesn't explain everything that's wrong with this Hulkbuster set. There’s a lot that is unexpectedly different about 76206 Iron Man Figure, in ways that as you build it you can immediately appreciate, and then once complete you can really enjoy, and it’s just as fair to say then that there’s also a lot that is unexpectedly good about 76206 Iron Man Figure. Such detail is missing from between the Hulkbuster's legs, instead leaving two dark bluish grey plates exposed. These are easily visible if the model is displayed on a high shelf and could have been finished with continued texture. Thankfully, some mechanical detail is included behind the armoured knees, which also incorporate repulsors.
