LEGO Hulkbuster Review 

You mentioned that it is unusual that this set comes with multiple light bricks and didn't recall any others with two. I own a Lego creator set with two light bricks. Set 5892.

On top of that the feature requires you to own another set which really should be a no go for these massive sets. For that price tag they could have easily included that figure

It's not even a good iron man figure. Just a cheapo CCBS system toy for small children, they don't belong together at all.

Yeah it's so dumb it looks so bad

A gimmick that involves hiding one of your sets

Depends on how you might see the set maybe like: 1 Not fussed about the fitting Iron Man figure gimmick. 2 Like the idea of adding the Iron Man figure as you have it already. or 1 Gimmick of a £40 Iron Man figure 76206 set add-on for the £475 Hulkbuster set 2 Gimmick of a £475 Hulk buster set add-on for the £40 Iron Man figure 76206 set

Black Panther bust?

@@Seti12345 That looks ok at least. Unlike whatever this is.

@@addi498 basically all of the high price Marvel sets have been disappointing. Whatever design team they have working on this line, they need to change

@@Seti12345 I absolutely agree with that. They should really be bringing the designers who work on the SW UCS or ICONS sets over.

@@addi498 to be honest I’d rather have great icons sets than Marvel

Every LAN review I've seen of this so far has been negative. Overly expensive, fragile, gappy, lack of articulation in hands/knees, poor accuracy, poor minifigure, etc. Not one reviewer has come close to recommending the set.

good to see...people have a tendency to stay overly positive even on the worst products, which is completely unhelpful...Lego is usually pretty solid, but they're going to have misfires, and this seems to be a big one...

Lego sent this set for him and he still do honest review. Thank you Tiago

i don't really think so. haven't seen a single sponsored review say this is a good set.

@@sseltrek1a2b Problem is that being a critic or being honest on Lego flaws might have Lego cut off sending you free stuff to review so reviewers tend to favour the product regardless of it how good/bad it is. Sometimes but not always a review from a person who bought the set with real money (with no chance of getting Lego free from Lego) may be more honest as they have nothing really to lose by a honest review.

It's not the size of the wand, it's the magic in it

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The sigh of relief of a million men across the globe could be heard just now.

@@water6956 😏

proportion > size

Since Tony's feet would be around the Hulkbuster's knees, the should have removed the buildable 43's legs so the torso of the Hulkbuster could have been shorter. But that still doesn't fix that the stomach and chest are supposed to be angled so the arc reactor comes to a point in the center of torso and the front of this is flat.

@@Gzilla313 yep completely agree, the proportions are just off, which is disappointing

When Lego do 1/2 a job they leave it up to the fan to pick up from where they left off.

@@danielwhittaker5184 shouldn’t have to should we 😔

@@BoomBrickz Should be optional because Lego do the leg work but you buy the set and then it can make you out of pocket doing mods. Just hope that the original design can be salvaged with a improved MOD to be improved ideally using the same existing parts rearranged for a polished finished look.

We shouldn't need to do that when we're paying a ton of money

Why not just make a moc then? Save $$$

@@davesargent7304 Very pricey, of course, but it has all the parts you'd need to make a better Hulkbuster.

@@h2owl205 The Photoshopped one doesn't even look impossible to make. There's most likely a way to make a revamped Hulkbuster out of this set that looks exactly like the Photoshop.

aou? this is for infinity war

It was his choice to compromise the design for a gimmick nobody asked for.

I hope people aren’t harassing him personally, but it’s the internet so they probably are. Hopefully he’ll learn from this and comeback with a much better model.

A team of designers reviewed, approved, and released this set to the LEGO marketing department. You don't have to feel bad for one person; it was a collective failure.

@@elvewizzy That’s probably true, the legs are a clear indicator of that. I just worry because I hate when people attack others for something they worked on you know.

@@frenchfriedbagel7035 probably not. I'd bet money lego is the one that made that decision. They just had to make do. With that in mind they did a good job. But the concept is fuckin stupid

Did not know that! Thanks!

@@TiagoCatarino The Hogwarts Express (yes the 500 USD one) has three light-bricks. Re this set: If only it were a gigantic Avengers Tower

@@koendecrock At least Avengers Tower could be minifigure scale. Imagine something like The Daily Bugle set that was released a few years ago, but with MCU elements and characters.

The set called lights and bricks was $30 and had 2 light bricks.

ha that's how I look at it as well. saves me money

I thought it was bad when I bought the 2018 one and felt like I had to buy extra pieces to MOC it to make it look good. That was made as a collector's item at the time. Ended up selling it because it would just be too much effort. This is even worse. The set should've been smaller and cheaper but if you are charging $500, it should be perfect

Yes I think he did with some sets using a pentagonal tile with his initials if I am not mistaken in sets like the haunted house drop ride/Titanic and maybe ship in a bottle. Hats off to Tiago for just saying it as it is with no strings attached.

Yea I built mine with Ferns instructions. Looks so much better

Take the Megapill they do amazing sets and do not sell plástic at 40,000% just like Warhammer and Lego

Its like lego selling a can of worms and they let the potential customer deal with it.

That he is

Im curious as well. But I’m guessing there will be some promotions to incentivise people buying it or it will be on sale rather quickly

Any gold elements can raise the price especially if they're gold recolors of elements not usually in gold but it's only one part of it. Add in the light bricks, the glow in the dark tiles, that recolored gold windscreen would cost alot, that new recolored fresnel lens, etc. Not justifying the price but all those things add up. Oh and the printed dome, that definitely cost. Then add in Disney's license, inflation across the board and Lego knowing this is a premium probably tacked on an additional $50 for the collectors that have the disposable income, christmas coming, etc. They all look at their marketing for this. The Infinity Gauntlet they made at a low price to get sales. They looked at cost versus volume of sales and said, keep the price down because we'll make up for it in more sales. Companies do this all the time. Each Lego model has it's own budget and marketing and how they price. It's not a one to one price/piece across the board. That's what we Lego collectors make the mistake of. We think every model has the same budget and marketing put into it. We all forget licensing, advertising for it, etc. All baked into the price.

@@ShortRound42 you forgot the 30% margin. Lego is greedy.

@@neodym5809 They are a for profit company. Always were. If you use an inflation calculator and compare prices from the past to today, they’re roughly the same. They’ve always been an expensive toy.

@@ShortRound42 Name another company with a 30% profit margin. This is extremely rare and shows Lego could easily reduce prices by 10-20% while still being in the double digit profit regime. The material Lego is made of, even metallic pieces, are dirt cheap. License fees are a bit more expensive, but not the reason why Lego is expensive. Its profit margin is. I mean, as long as we are stupid enough to pay them, they can go for it. But out of honesty, we should also mention this when we explain why Lego is so expensive: because they print money with it.

@@neodym5809 Oh, when you say dirt cheap on materials, remember they gotta' pay for and hire the best designers they can, their benefits, all employees from janitor to senior designer, pay for marketing, advertising, amusement parks, licensing, the manufacturing facilities, maintenance on the machines, insurance for all of it, etc., etc. Like I said before, it's all baked into the price. That's how business works. It's not just one thing, it all adds up.
