Brickset
“I think the set itself is excellent even if the price is rather too high. It looks spectacular on display and is certainly a conversation piece. The minifigures are not hugely impressive but the nanofigures are superb and look great on the deck of the Helicarrier. I am not... More convinced that they are in scale with the model despite their tiny size, but I still love them. Ultimately, I think this set is best described as 'imperfect.' I like it very much on the whole, but the relatively few issues are difficult to overlook.”

The Brothers Brick
“The ship is well designed, easy to put together, looks good, and is packed with all sorts of awesome microscale bits and bobs – and the microfigs are a great addition (I hope to see more of those from LEGO in the future). So the set is a big win – if a little overpriced –... More with or without the rather slap-dash collection of minifigs that LEGO threw into the box.”
