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.
2013 LEGO Sets
2013 introduced Legends of Chima, a heavily promoted fantasy line positioned as Ninjago’s successor, complete with a companion TV series. Licensed debuts included Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Lone Ranger, and new DUPLO tie-ins for Jake and the Never Land Pirates and Mickey Mouse. Collectors pursued the ultra-rare Mr. Gold minifigure from Series 10, limited to just 5,000 worldwide. This year also marked LEGO’s shift from 4-digit to 5-digit set numbering as Monster Fighters, SpongeBob SquarePants, Cars, and Dino concluded.
