Today, LEGO unveils the long-awaited and heavily rumoured Marvel 76269 Avengers Tower set. The headquarters becomes the new ultimate collectors pieces, stealing the crown from the last comic-based high-rise, 76178 Daily Bugle. With 90 cm / 35.5 in, the new Tower sets the record for a LEGO super heroes model, beating the newspaper editorial by just 8 cm, and also becomes the largest set of the theme – 5,201 pieces, which about 1100 pieces more than the notorious Hulkbuster. Avengers Tower goes on sale on November 24th for US $499.99 | CAN $669.99 | UK £429.99. In addition, from 24-27th November LEGO Insiders members will receive a free LEGO Marvel Taxi set which includes an iconic New York yellow taxi and four minifigures including Black Panther, a taxi driver and two outriders when they purchase the LEGO Marvel Avengers Tower.
As pictured on the box, the Tower is captured in the middle of the Battle of New York from the 2012’s movie. The Leviathan and the Quinjet complete the scene as two standalone builds.
The set is based on various Marvel superheroes movies, including The Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Avengers: Endgame, which minifigures depicting numerous iconic scenes inside and outside of the building.
The skyscraper features six floors, becoming one of the most complex minifigure-scale LEGO buildings ever released as a set. Thankfully, the build has the same footprint as the Daily Bugle and Sanctum Sanctorum; all three can be connected to form a single street.
Avengers Tower sets another the record for the most number of minifigures in a LEGO set. 31 characters include all fan-favourite heroes, some in exclusive designs, with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige making a surprise appearance as a LEGO minifigure.
From the box, the build suggests a number of iconic movie scenes ready to be played out across all 6 floors of the tower. For instance, Loki is making his escape, Captain America is admiring one of his enemy’s athletic shape, and Tony Stark is about to create Ultron.
