LEGO Hulkbuster Review

The LEGO 76210 Hulkbuster had the potential to be the best Marvel set ever made. In the end it turned out well... Far from being the better.

Thank you LEGO for sending this set for review. Views and opinions are my own.

Agreed. Makes no sense to sacrifice accurate looks for a gimmick when the set is primarily meant as a display piece for adults.

Honestly, I don’t think there has ever been a set with such an overwhelmingly bad reception.

[KastaRules]

It takes GUTS to be this brutally honest.
Thank You Tiago

This set is proof that just because something is big, doesn’t mean it’s good.

[BoomBrickz]

Great review, I like that people are giving this set a real honest review. It’s such a shame this was not a perfect model, I would have preferred not to be able to fit the buildable iron man inside. I think there will be some great mocs coming soon but it shouldn’t need it especially at that price!

2:50 funnily for me that is the most distracting bit, as the front chest plate is way too low on this model, compared to the "real" thing. It's basically vertical here, whereas it should be more at a 45° angle and a lot higher as well.

2:35 I know the Lego Technic Batmobile based on "The Batman" has two Lego light bricks in it. One for the front of the car and another for the engine at the back.

I feel like the smaller set, 76105 was an overall better value with more sidebuilds that actually made for a complete set.

The one thing that really excites me with this is how people can take the pieces and make something better out of it / fix the proportions and issues to make a properly accurate AOU Hulkbuster like the photoshop Hachiroku made.

[gordzilla]

This man is The Goat to have an expensive LEGO set sent to him for free by LEGO, and for him to give his honest opinion. No sugarcoating here at all!

[ki-adimundi]

I feel bad for the designer who put his soul into this project, only to be (rightfully) endlessly critiqued

[nikolascagefreeeggs]

Personally so glad about this set and the Foosball table. After so many have-to-have sets (lighthouse, lion castle, galaxy explorer, boutique hotel) I'm so thankful I don't care about this one.

[WizardOfOss]

Very much agree! If they were adamant on that feature, they should have made a slightly smaller version that wouldn't harm the proportions, and included that in the set. But instead we got a deformed set for the sole reason you can spend another €40 on a set and put it somewhere you can''t see it anymore...it just doesn't make sense.
As for the shoulder hinges, considering the movement I can somewhat understand the gaps, although should have a look at Gunpla kits te see how they manage to hide those. Since there's no movement whatsoever in the legs, there's just no excuse there for the inaccuracies. This could and should have been much better.

4:51 THANK YOU for showing this ! Those upper arms/ shoulders and shins/ ankles are inexcusable

[trimilo]

ill be completely honest I think being able to fit the buildable figure inside is super cool, that absolutely does not excuse this set looking the way it does. The photoshopped version looked soo good too bad itll never see the light of day as an actual set

[SC-ghii]

I like that even though Tiago worked at Lego, he’s able to give a genuine and honest review. Kudos Tiago.

[BeerBourbonandGames]

I'm so thankful for channels like yours. This set is horribly overpriced. All of your points are 100% on point.

[greatbigphil]

There's an amazing rebuild of this kit on Rebrickable by a guy named Ransom_Fern. It solves all the issues that you brought up and looks so much better. Less like a slab. The proportions are great. And it still fits the smaller Ironman set insode. The name of the rebuild is: MOC - 76210 Iron Man Mark 44 Hulkbuster - Alternate Build

I'm working on is now. It's so satisfying.

[ONS]

Wow seeing that photo shopped one it’s crazy how better that one looks

[ShortRound]

Looking at the side by side, even though they had to lengthen the torso to fit the Iron Man figure, do you think Tiago that just raising the helmet up and angling it slightly downward could really help the look of the model. That looks like it could be an easy mod.
And like you said, I wonder why since the legs don't bend, why they couldn't thicken the calf area to match more of the source material?
