The Avengers vs. The Leviathan

"A mixed-verdict set with a BrickScore of 64.9, where an excellent Hulk bigfig and solid character lineup are undercut by a price both critics consider $10 too high and obvious overlap with 76269 Avengers Tower. The 930 owner ratings average 4.77/5, so play-focused buyers who lack the Tower set tend to be satisfied, but collectors and anyone already owning the Tower version should wait for a discount."

Both expert reviewers land in mixed territory on this 347-piece, $49.99 set, with a BrickScore of 64.9, agreeing that the minifigure lineup is the main draw while the price and overlap with 76269 Avengers Tower hold it back. Brickset praises the outstanding character selection and the redesigned Hulk bigfig but calls the display stands too short and the price slightly too high; JANG echoes the value concern, saying the set should be $39.99 and recommending waiting for a sale. Real buyers are far more enthusiastic, awarding an average of 4.77 out of 5 across 930 ratings, suggesting that for the target play-focused audience the character access at this price point hits the mark.

Where they split: Both critics agree on mixed sentiment, but Brickset scores it significantly higher (70) than JANG (60). Brickset emphasizes the exceptional minifigure quality and printing, while JANG focuses more on the value shortfall and the set's redundancy for Tower owners. Owner ratings (4.77/5) diverge sharply from the expert consensus BrickScore of 64.9, suggesting critics weigh price and overlap more heavily than general buyers do.
