Captain America's Shield

"Captain America's Shield earns its BrickScore of 73.7 as a gorgeous, high-impact display piece that almost every reviewer recommends — just go in knowing the 3,128-piece build is deliberately and heavily repetitive, which is either meditative or monotonous depending on your tolerance."

Captain America's Shield (76262) is overwhelmingly praised as a stunning display piece — reviewers consistently gush over how impressive it looks on a shelf, especially alongside other Marvel builds like Thor's Hammer/Mjolnir. The build experience is a clear talking point: nearly every reviewer flags the highly repetitive nature of the construction (with large bag phases requiring the same steps 18+ times), but the vast majority conclude that the spectacular end result makes it worthwhile. Value for money is generally viewed positively, though a few felt slightly less enthused given the repetitive nature. Playability is a low priority for this set — it's built to display, not to play with.

Where they split: Reviewers split on whether the repetitive build is a feature or a flaw. Some embraced it as part of the experience ('Steps were repetitive, but I didn't expect anything less') or found it meditative, while others called it 'the most repetitive set I have ever built' and noted it required putting on a movie just to push through. The build experience score reflects this split most clearly.
