The now-retired LEGO Marvel SHIELD Helicarrier UCS set was good and all but let’s face it. Not everyone can afford to part with 250 dollars for a LEGO set which they don’t even have space for. If those are the reasons that prevented you from picking up the 76042 in 2015, well then you will be glad that there is a micro-build version now.
Adult Fans of LEGO, meet the new LEGO Marvel The Avengers Helicarrier (76295). This 18+ set uses a modest 509 pieces to recreate one of the most iconic vehicles from the Marvel Cinematic Universe as seen in the movies The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron.
When completed, the model measuring over 7 in. (18 cm) high, 13 in. (33 cm) long, and 8.5 in. (22 cm) wide lets you marvel at the flying aircraft carrier in a handy size.
While it is small for such a massive vehicle, it is not lacking details. The bridge, the four vertical lift rotors, the horizontal propulsion, and even the Quinjets—albeit a little abstract—have all been faithfully recreated with LEGO elements. The build comes complete with a sturdy stand for displaying this little pride and joy in all its micro-scale glory.
The LEGO Marvel The Avengers Helicarrier (76295) is slated to be available starting August 01, 2024, for US$79.99. Meanwhile, eager fans can secure a copy (up to 3 for each account) by pre-ordering it from LEGO.com.
