No. I love minifigures but if they really wanna make a basic set this expensive because of the minifigures, they should just make some type of accessory pack with iron man armor. I really do want these figures, but I can pick up some way better sets with $90.
No. The new helmets are bad (mainly because the face print doesn't fully line up with the lifting part), a decent amount of the figures are repeats, and the entire setup was changed which throws off consistency display. I would only get the Striker Armor (the helmet looks fine for that one) and whiplash, but off of Ebay for way less than $90.
I think the reason they put him in the final battle armour is because they're going to do a racetrack set with the mark 5 updated helmet piece. Don't think that'll work...
The new helmet works for nano tech suits with different face plate, but the first 7 suits should stick to the old one. It was designed specifically for them anyway
I'm in the minority who actually like the new helmets. I mean when Lego redesigned the Batman cowl in 2012 or 13, I hated it at first but grew to love it over the years even if I really miss the original 2006 one. The Mk3 cool with the shorter ears I like as well for specific versions of the batsuit like DCEU, New 52 or Jim Lee Batman.
I like the new helmets. And to be honest, I like the other helmets that don't open too. I don't care that they don't open. I love them. They make me think more of the comics which is what I try to lean towards when it comes to my hall of armor
100% with you. The OG helmets were just too bulky for me and the opening mechanism is so much better on these new helmets. That said, I think different helmet molds are better for different sets of armor
The second blue schematic, I think, is the layout for one of the floors of Stark Tower. It looks similar to the one in the final Avengers scene where Pepper and Tony are reviewing the 3D blueprint of the Tower’s refurbish.
The most useful thing in this set is the face print and hair for Whiplash. The Ivan Vanko head and hair will be most useful for making a moc of the Iron Man VS Whiplash scene on the F1 track.
It’s more like they chose that version of whiplash because sometime down the road they are already planning to do whiplash version 1 with an F-1 car and Suitcase armor maybe destroyed limo. It’s almost a given.
I think the helmet would look great if the eyes were more sunken into the plastic like the original. That is really iconic for the comic accuracy and first two movies
I like the Audi and the table expo maps are printed. Other than that, I think the previous Hall of Armor looks and plays better. Not to mention much cheaper and more pieces.
As someone who owns the old one, this one seems cooler, a little overpriced, but it looks like a better playset. The other one is more of a display set, and I like to display my Lego.
I love this set, however I will redesign the armor bays to fit the old one using pieces from my collection. In my opinion, the older armor section is better, still can’t wait to get this set!
God I forgot how much people disliked these helmets at the time. They aren't that bad. This could have been way worse if they went with the hingeless helmets like the MK II had for some reason. That has kinda ruined that minifigure for me unless I can get the white eyes war machine head. But in general the MK I should have the one piece helmet, MK II-VII should have the old style, and the XL suits onward should have the new style.
I got back into lego and don't have any hall of armors so this sets is kinda appealing to me but it's still too overpriced even though it goes for around 70 here
First impression on the helmets is really good, especially on the Mark III, but if I do get this set, I will have to compare it to the older style of helmet, which I think is also fine and acceptable. Definitely a controversial opinion for certain, but I also like the newer Stormtrooper helmet, which is very much despised, so I guess it makes sense. Besides the looks and angles on these helmets, I guess another glaring problem for many is the lack of consistency between helmets, especially for people who want to army-build (for Stormtroopers and Clonetroopers) or complete the entire set of armors (for the Iron man suits). I quite like the hot-rod, though I can see how to some, it may seem unnecessary. Also love the figures, all the little side builds, especially the DUM-E. The Hall of armors is nice and doesn't seem too different from previous ones, perhaps except with the placement of the stickers, which certainly would be an easy fix for those who don't like the current design (I'm guessing you would just have to move the sticker to the window frame piece rather than the banner piece and discard the rest of the pieces for those builds in particular, but I could be wrong about the sticker size and shape). Overall, love the set, though my one criticism is the stickers. I understand what they're going for, but as MiniSuperHeroesToday pointed out, it is just so hard to read them. I wish there was a way that Lego could still provide the holographic feel while making them easier to read/look at. The price could certainly be lowered a bit as with many other sets, though at least it's likely to go on sale at other retailers after a couple of months, which will be good. Probably better to wait for it to go on sale than to buy it at full price for sure
Hey johnathan I did the bidding thing and bidded on the hulk and wolverine so I hope I can get em the hulk is one I’ve been looking for 4 years so if I win I just wanna thank u if not congrats to whoever got it
I collect LEGO Iron Man figures and own every single one so I’m going to buy this set no matter what, but I definitely think it’s overpriced. The 2020 Avengers Tower cost the same amount and I felt that I got a lot more value out of that set than I will with this one.
Is it worth 90$ HELL NO. I however was able to get it for 60$ just a few days ago coming into 2024 Got it for retail price. This one will probably be off shelves soon as they tend to lower prices by 25-30% a year after the sets come out, if they still stay on the shelves that long
❤🖤 im really happy that I was able to cop this set at just 53.99 on cyber monday 🙃👌 and no I do NOT think this set is worth 90 bucks 😅 tbh, I was not going to buy this set AT ALL if it wasn't put on discount or clearance because of the crappy price $ but I was very fortunate and I snagged it while I could 🙂 AND also because it will be retiring this year also. So it was all together a win- win
The new helmet works really well on the Striker armor, but on the other armor.... Damn.... It's SO bad! I mean, the old helmet was PERFECT, so why LEGO change it?! Why!
Really good review and despite its downgrade on the helmets, I think it’s a really good set, I loved the map, the car, Whiplash and the Striker armour. I say it’s quite worth it. Do you think you could make a purist custom racetrack whiplash?
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but i think the new helmet molds look way better than the old ones Besides, it was time for an upgrade, the old helmet molds were getting a bit dated
i legit have no idea what's the point of the new Iron Man helmets. They look awful compared to the originals. Why is lego trying to replace the OG? It works perfectly. They already tried with the Invincible Iron Man helmet and they failed. Now they failed again.
Do you think this is worth $90? 🤔
At this point Lego is just gonna charge people cause they know people are gonna buy it for the figure
I would say so for minifigures, parts, customisation and collections
The helmet looks like a knockoff

You should use Whiplash's hair for Defender Strange
Even his head too
Thought that too
@@justalegoindianguy not really he should’ve used doctor stranges head its good head but wiplashes is good I guess
I was just about to comment that
You all just got a new subscriber from me

Those new helmets look very sleek. Also love that we're getting Whiplash

@Maxops500 Thank the lord I'm not the only one! Don't get me wrong I did like the OG ones at the time but I do like these new ones too.
I can’t wait to get this set!
Same
That war machine head is the same as val-zod's head in the DC character encyclopedia from a few days ago.
Oh, wow! Good to know!
it's evolving, just backwards
The second blue schematic, I think, is the layout for one of the floors of Stark Tower. It looks similar to the one in the final Avengers scene where Pepper and Tony are reviewing the 3D blueprint of the Tower’s refurbish.
Is it not a schematic for the super-collider he builds in the basement to make the new element?
@@jonathanbarton834 probably is, after all most other things in the set are based off Iron Man 2, so that would fit in perfectly
The striker armor looks so great! I wish we had them before.
The most useful thing in this set is the face print and hair for Whiplash. The Ivan Vanko head and hair will be most useful for making a moc of the Iron Man VS Whiplash scene on the F1 track.
I like the mark 85's helmet. It works for nano tech.
It’s more like they chose that version of whiplash because sometime down the road they are already planning to do whiplash version 1 with an F-1 car and Suitcase armor maybe destroyed limo. It’s almost a given.
I think i finally understand the fire hydrant, the one scene in the first iron man where the running gag was dum e spraying tony with a fire hydrant
We got a whiplash Minifigure finally and the new helmet piece looks great but it's not worth $90 to me
I wish instead of yet another Mk 85 which doesn't belong, include Phil Colson
I think the helmet would look great if the eyes were more sunken into the plastic like the original. That is really iconic for the comic accuracy and first two movies
my opinion it is not worth 90 bucks because i am broke
I like the new helmet and on the Mark 3 it kinda reminds me of the Iron Man anime as it used the Mark 3 armor
I like the Audi and the table expo maps are printed. Other than that, I think the previous Hall of Armor looks and plays better. Not to mention much cheaper and more pieces.
I would argue the side profile is better than the previous helmets
3:00 I like the OG helmet, but i surprised the new helmet can be opened and closed
I don't know if it's just me but I think this set would have benefited if the war machine armor was black instead of gunmetal Grey
Exactly
I think they need to make metallic black color for war machine
I love the new helmets
The old helmets are the g.o.a.t. helmets, they should've never changed them.
Whiplash looks like Ibrahimovic.
I just got this for Christmas today
More dc costums PLEASE!!!
As someone who owns the old one, this one seems cooler, a little overpriced, but it looks like a better playset. The other one is more of a display set, and I like to display my Lego.
Lmao the old one for display?
Then your displays look duplo x)
@@maniacteal2918 your probably the size of a duplo irl
For me personally im gonna use the new helmets on other iron men like with weird shapes and such and for the rest im gonna use the original style
The helmet looks much better than expected
The car looks better than I expected
the helmets just look funky to me
I love this set, however I will redesign the armor bays to fit the old one using pieces from my collection. In my opinion, the older armor section is better, still can’t wait to get this set!
I might buy this because there are some minifigures I don't have that are in this set.
God I forgot how much people disliked these helmets at the time. They aren't that bad. This could have been way worse if they went with the hingeless helmets like the MK II had for some reason. That has kinda ruined that minifigure for me unless I can get the white eyes war machine head. But in general the MK I should have the one piece helmet, MK II-VII should have the old style, and the XL suits onward should have the new style.
Could you make a custom minifigure showcase for pirates of the caribben
the whole centurion thing with the helmet could mean we are getting a new one. Just speculation
Awesome! 😁
Great work! 🔥
And they didn't do Whiplash right either, he doesn't have a suit like Iron Man, he has a suit close in size to the Iron Monger
The helmets actually seem a lot better than I thought they were. I'd have to see them in-person. Far too expensive though.
I got back into lego and don't have any hall of armors so this sets is kinda appealing to me but it's still too overpriced even though it goes for around 70 here
I just got the set a few days ago and I like it but it was 90 dollars for me
Is it worth it? No. Am I gonna pay it? Yup!
I'm probably going to get this set because I don't have any of these figures besides Nick Fury. Plus I like the builds.

really nice
I think the new helmet is ok not super good bit not super bad either
I found the double pack groot and that set for 70€ in bricklink
I think the helmet is fine
The helmets evolved backwards
I would rather have that set than any other ones
I believe that the mask is nice
You saved me!!!
Hey johnathan I did the bidding thing and bidded on the hulk and wolverine so I hope I can get em the hulk is one I’ve been looking for 4 years so if I win I just wanna thank u if not congrats to whoever got it
Got it for $70 brand new!
Ooof... 90$?.... did I say OOOOOOOOFFF
i don't like the new helmets I want the old ones back that can open because it just looks like iron mans head got crushed and remade
I collect LEGO Iron Man figures and own every single one so I’m going to buy this set no matter what, but I definitely think it’s overpriced. The 2020 Avengers Tower cost the same amount and I felt that I got a lot more value out of that set than I will with this one.
The color of Rhodes suit is too light instead of being black
Should have included a black widow instead of another nick fury
It is
I think they are very good and if I decide to get it I will end up with two Tony starks and two km 85😂
I like the new helmet but it dose not look as good as the 2012 helmet.
Is it worth 90$ HELL NO. I however was able to get it for 60$ just a few days ago coming into 2024
Got it for retail price. This one will probably be off shelves soon as they tend to lower prices by 25-30% a year after the sets come out, if they still stay on the shelves that long
I got this set for $23 at Sams 😭
June 1st is not far 😮
I have mixed opinions. Awesome details though.
honestly pepper potts looked better in her white suit.
Make Doctor Xavier from ds2
I really love this set but i dont have the money to buy it 😢
it got more realistic for iron man helmet
Really cool but too much similiar to the other 2 armour sets
❤🖤 im really happy that I was able to cop this set at just 53.99 on cyber monday 🙃👌 and no I do NOT think this set is worth 90 bucks 😅 tbh, I was not going to buy this set AT ALL if it wasn't put on discount or clearance because of the crappy price $ but I was very fortunate and I snagged it while I could 🙂 AND also because it will be retiring this year also. So it was all together a win- win
It looks cand cool
Can you make a custom Whiplash mark 1 from the race car fight?
Why does the war machine look black on the box
My local Walmart has a pile of these marked down to $60. Three more weeks and it should drop to under $30...would you buy a couple at that price?
Absolutely
The new helmet works really well on the Striker armor, but on the other armor.... Damn.... It's SO bad! I mean, the old helmet was PERFECT, so why LEGO change it?! Why!
Colour of armor is red or dark red like the previous armor?
Just scored this for 35! Kinda wanna get a second one 😭💀
I got the I am groot and this in a bundle for $68
Fantastic set
Bro, the side isn’t even that bad! The new helmet is amazing! I don’t know what your deal is but this is dumb
Nah this new helmet sucks
Honestly, I really like the new design and Im really hyped for this set!
Why Is the mark 85 in this set ?
Doesn’t look worth $90. Somehow Marvel is more expensive then Star Wars in terms of what you get these days.
Can you give me a Lego iron man mk 33 plsss😢
Can you connect the set with the older hall of armor sets? just wondering because I'm planning to buy all of them
Really good review and despite its downgrade on the helmets, I think it’s a really good set, I loved the map, the car, Whiplash and the Striker armour. I say it’s quite worth it. Do you think you could make a purist custom racetrack whiplash?
It's been 10 years since the old helmet was made. I feel the change was much needed. And what downgrade?
I hate the new helmet's, they are waaaaaaaaay to tall I'm fine that they exist but lego needs to keep the old legs
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but i think the new helmet molds look way better than the old ones
Besides, it was time for an upgrade, the old helmet molds were getting a bit dated
does it connect to the old ones ?
I am gone or der that set
Not worth $90 maybe once it’s on a sale for like $70-$75
i legit have no idea what's the point of the new Iron Man helmets. They look awful compared to the originals. Why is lego trying to replace the OG? It works perfectly. They already tried with the Invincible Iron Man helmet and they failed. Now they failed again.
I don’t like the new helmet form iron man
90$ i got it for 60$
The helmet is okay, but it's oversized!
You are one of my favorite RUclipsrs just for the set you’re way too picky
Despise the new helmets
