"Avengers Tower earns a BrickScore of 78 as the most ambitious Marvel set ever produced, a 35-inch display centerpiece with a record 32 characters and seven MCU-detailed floors, though critics across three sources agree the minifigure roster mixes genuine exclusives with too many recycled or nameless filler figures."
Three expert reviewers from Solid Brix Studios, Brickset, and Jay's Brick Blog converge on a BrickScore of 78 for Avengers Tower, agreeing it is a visually stunning, record-setting Marvel set but with real compromises in the minifigure selection and build repetition that prevent it from reaching Must-Have status. With 5,201 pieces at $499.99 and 32 characters (the most ever in a retail LEGO set at launch), it earns its Recommended tier through sheer scale and fan service, though critics are explicit that several minifigures are reused or thematically off. Owner reaction is strongly positive, with 831 buyers averaging 4.76 out of 5 across Amazon, Walmart, and Target, validating the display and collectibility appeal.
Where they split: Expert sentiment diverged on minifigure quality: Solid Brix Studios praised the roster as impressive, while both Brickset and Jay's Brick Blog called the selection mediocre or incomplete, specifically criticizing the six nameless characters padding the count and the absence of Quicksilver and Maria Hill. Brickset also gave a more cautious verdict on value, while Solid Brix Studios was enthusiastic about the $500 price point.

"The LEGO Design Team behind this set had massive ambitions for the set, for it to be 'the most Avengers' set ever, and the epic lineup of characters (the most ever in a retail set) includes 29 minifigures, 1 Ant-Man nanofig, 1 buildable Dum-E and 1 Hulk bigfig is truly in a class of its own."
Avengers Tower earns near-universal praise from Marvel fans for its MCU accuracy, richly detailed floors, and impressive build experience, with complaints centering on price and a few missing character choices in the minifigure lineup.
