LEGO Marvel Super Heroes / Avengers Sets

Avengers gathers the LEGO Marvel sets built around the team rather than a single hero. It opened in 2012, timed to the first Avengers film, with the heroes facing Loki and his Chitauri invaders, and it has since borrowed from the comics too, setting Iron Man against Detroit Steel and Hulk against Red Hulk in 2017.

Three pieces of Avengers hardware keep coming back. The Quinjet, the team's jet, was in the very first wave and has since returned as a far bigger build. The S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, the flying aircraft carrier from the first film, started as a small section of the ship in Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout and grew into 76354 S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, a large display model. Avengers Tower went from a tiny model to a playset and then to 76269 Avengers Tower, which stages the Battle of New York with the Chitauri Leviathan attacking the building and enough minifigures to fill the whole fight.

Beside the big builds runs a long line of Mech Armor sets, each a buildable suit for one hero or villain, from Iron Man and Thanos to Rocket and War Machine. The 2020 sets took their foot soldiers, the A.I.M. agents, from the Marvel's Avengers video game released that year.
