“Overall, the LEGO 76008 set is a decent. Yes, I realise that kids like to re-enact scenes from the movie, but it offers fairly good play-value and allows children to make up their own stories, which is what LEGO is all about. The Iron Man MK17 armour is a great minifigure,... More the Mandarin figure looks good enough and it's nice to get these two characters in a cheaper set.”

“The main problem with Iron Man vs The Mandarin: Ultimate Showdown, besides its unwieldy name, is its price. I think $10 would be far more reasonable for the set, given its 91 pieces and, well, lack of anything terribly exciting. It's hard for me to recommend it since Trevor... More just doesn't stick out all that much. Maybe if we had another set of armor (Silver Centurion, please) the $13 would be worth it.”
