Legacy Spotlight: Avengers Hulk Helicopter Rescue
The Avengers Hulk Helicopter Rescue set, part of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes theme, was released to coincide with the popularity of the Avengers: Endgame movie. While the set received mixed reviews upon release, with criticism aimed at the value for its price and the perceived lack of play and display value, it did receive praise for completing the Quantum Realm Avengers, including the Nano-gauntlet and four Infinity stones. The minifigures, including Hulk in his Quantum Realm suit, Pepper Potts in her Rescue outfit, and the Chitauri army-building figures, were generally well-received. Among Adult Fans of LEGO (AFOLs), the set has gained a reputation for its inclusion of key characters and accessories from the movie, although its overall reception remains varied.
Reactions and Reflections
The Avengers Hulk Helicopter Rescue set has garnered mixed reviews from critics and fans alike. One review from Spruce states, “The construction of this set was nothing notable, although I did enjoy building the Chitauri ships.” The same review also highlights the value proposition, stating, “For $60, I don’t really think we get enough here. I get that the Hulk bigfig adds quite a bit to the price, but don’t you think we could’ve got something a bit more substantial? The play value is quite low, even with the Hulk drop feature.” Overall, the set is praised for completing the Quantum Realm Avengers and including the nano-gauntlet and 4 Infinity stones, but criticized for its generic build and insufficient value (Spruce).
