Fly High With Epic Looking SHIELD Helicarrier From LEGO!
January 29, 2015 by brennon
We occasionally drop into LEGO once in a while and this time around I think it's pretty justified. See what you think of the SHIELD Helicarrier from Avengers that just. Looks. Amazing.
At 3000 pieces (yes, 3000 pieces) this is one of the biggest things they must have ever done. You can see the scale of this simply by comparing the size of the Avenger characters on its runway. Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Nick Fury and Maria Hill feature as part of the crew...
So...this is going to be expensive we reckon. Admittedly LEGO is very, very expensive anyway nowadays but it does look awesome and awakens the big kid in all of us. This big ol' kit is going to be available in March 2015 so you'll have plenty to work on while you think about Age of Ultron.
What do you think of it?

Expensive, heck yes, but when I win the lottery, it will be mine.
Oh yes. It will be mine.
I liked the basic and technical LEGO – you could make anything you wanted out of them. This does not appeal – if I wanted a SHIELD carrier I would want an actual kit.
looks good but not as good as the original one they were considering.
One thing to keep in mind is that the figures on the runway are not the standard minifigures; they’re the even tinier microfigures. So, while it’s still huge, the helicarrier isn’t quite as big as it may appear.
Nice spot – I thought the lego “nubs” looked pretty big, but once you pointed this out it became clearer in 2nd pic (of the craft from the rear) – you can see the little bases on the characters feet. Not quite as big as I thought 🙁
Bargain compared to the deathstar… Lol
That looks awesome and extremely expensive.
LEGO?!?!?! You all need to grow up. Now, back to painting my toy soliders 😉
ha ha I know some people who will be drooling looking at this 😛
… and then crying when they see the price 😛
I am more of a creator fan myself, just scored the detective’s office for my wedding anniversary.

I don’t see you on many of the shows Brennon? Don’t you live close enough to the guys to take part?
I don’t think the wife would let me. Mind you I’ve just spent the day playing with Lego Mindstorms (the perks of being a computing teacher!)
Looks huge, Definitely deserves a mention on BOW.
