Synthesized Verdict

"At a BrickScore of 76.3, the Avenjet Space Mission is a minifigure-first set that earns its recommendation almost entirely from one of the strongest character lineups in Marvel LEGO history, including a debut Captain Marvel and a detailed Thanos bigfig, even if the vehicle itself is a serviceable rather than standout build."

The Avenjet Space Mission scores 76.5 on BrickScore, and the minifigure lineup is the clear reason to buy: reviewers from JANG and Brickset both single out Thanos, Captain Marvel, Hyperion, and the Space Iron Man as exceptional, with Thanos described as the standout piece of the whole set. Owners rate it 4.78 out of 5 across 231 reviews (92% would recommend), but LEGO.com buyers gave value for money only 3.73 out of 5, reflecting a recurring expert critique that the vehicle itself is competent but not exceptional for the price.

Where they split: The vehicle itself drew noticeably split opinions. JANG praised the durable, play-ready construction and rated it positively; one detailed LEGO.com reviewer gave the Avenjet only 14 out of 20 for both build and play, calling the stud shooters ugly and the overall vehicle 'only so-so.' All reviewers agreed on the minifigures, but the ship oscillated between 'fun and faithful' and 'scaled-down and lacking interior depth.'
