About the blog

I have been collecting Lego sets for many years and I have developed a strong passion for it. I love to pay attention to the little details in sets and I love even more to find great things about sets which seem small and basic. This blog will become host to many reviews for a wide variety of Lego sets, ranging from old themes such as Power Miners to new themes such as Nexo Knights. The reviews will not be biased and will aim to help a variety of Lego lovers such as those who are new buyers and those who collect and display.

UCS Hulkbuster?



Lately I have seen something which I find to be really exciting. Two photos have been released of a Lego Hulkbuster set box which hasn't been announced and it looks like it will be the biggest Hulkbuster set to date. For those of you who don't know anything about Marvel or the Hulkbuster Iron Man suit, it is the suit Tony Stark, A.K.A Iron Man, uses to fight the Hulk, a big strong green person to be overly simple about it, and it is one of the most iconic Iron Man suits.




Currently there has only been one Lego Hulkbuster suit, as pictured above, and it cost around £30. The set included Iron Man, Hulk, Scarlet Witch, Ultron, the Hulkbuster suit, plus a small cage build.




Due to the Hulkbuster suit being featured in the upcoming Marvel film 'Avengers: Infinity War', Lego are going to be releasing another Hulkbuster suit. As you can see in the image above, the set will feature Bruce Banner, Falcon, Proxima Midnight, an Outrider, the Hulkbuster suit, and a turret. This suit looks slightly bigger than the old one and more head heavy than chest heavy like the old one.






The two pictures above are those of the rumoured new Hulkbuster set. I am going to presume that they are real as the box design is perfectly matching to what would be expected. It's odd that the picture seems to have been taken in a Lego store (the yellow colouring implies this) but Lego haven't announced the set... However the one thing going against this being real is the fact a Hulkbuster set is scheduled for release around Infinity War. Having two of the same thing out at once would potentially decrease sales so I think, if this is genuine, it will be released around July to give the smaller Hulkbuster chance to sell. From the box you can see that the set comes with an Iron Man figure and it looks like you will be able to place him inside the Hulkbuster suit. The box also indicates that a light brick will be featured in the chest of the suit and that you can swap one of the arms like in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'. There could potentially be a second version of this type of set some time after Infinity War. This set is labelled 'Ultron edition' which could mean that they might make an Infinity War edition. The Ultron edition set could cost around £160 as that is what the Lego Batman Tumbler Batmobile cost when that was released and I think this could be a similar set to that.
