LEGO Avengers Quinjet Review... FLAWED!

Today I build and review the 2023 LEGO Marvel The Avengers Quinjet. This set is great... but it has some FLAWS! One of them in particular is pretty offputting, to say the least. Like I get what LEGO was trying to do but in no way did they execute it properly! Take a detailed look at the set in this review video.

You're absolutely spot on Jordan about the lack of extra parts for the stickers! I think the designers came up with this excellent idea of having the customisability, but Lego was simply not smart enough to execute it properly and give its customers the best experience. I'm sure they will learn from this, and this Quinjet is otherwise a fantastic set anyway.

The “take off position” stand is actually a turret. They used it to shoot down chitauri during the battle for NY

Great critique there about the additional sticker sheet. Would be cool if they made a additional "panel pack" available and included Coulson and May :)

I want to be able to switch but don’t have those pieces so I just did one half shield stickers and half avengers, it might not be conventional but it has both versions which I like

[samlowther]

They did this with the 2018 x-wing from star wars but actually gave you 2 extra 2x3 tiles so you could swap it between red 5 and red 3 (pretty sure it was red 3). They even gave you the extra pilot and astromech droid!

I love the fact that the set comes with the minifigure of Loki with the Hannibal Lecter mouthpiece. lol
This should have come with Nick Fury, Phil Coulson, Hawkeye, Bruce Banner and Maria Hill, in my mind.

Love this set! Built it yesterday and its super cool. Kinda agree with you on the "flaw" but it wasn't enough to stop me buying the set.

You missed something there my friend. That black technic at the bottom isn't a kick stand. It's the turret gun as shown in the movie. You're supposed to crank it all the way to the front. Pointing towards the front.

I really like this set, I got it January 1st myself, however I agree with you on the sticker part andI also chose the Shield stickers and ended up with the same problem. Also the element on the bottom is supposed to be te gun, you can pull it al the way forward.

They want you to buy two sets in order to have both versions lol

[darrenfox]

Built this yesterday been waiting a long time for this re-make !! Also the part at the front that you said was for it to be in take off mode is the main cannon when you put it on the stand you pull it right round not have it facing down 😊 love your work you are my favourite you tuber & the main reason I love Lego 😊

I actually had some difficulty purchasing this so when I was on the line with lego customer support I had a very nice conversation with the lady on the other end and we actually talked about how we both watch your channel.

[BeardedBrickHead]

You make a really good point about the stickers and the fact that you cannot change that out without ordering parts for replacing or destroying the stickers you started with. I ordered one of these and I will keep that in mind before I apply stickers. I think I am going Avengers myself

[thebrickaniac]

I agree with you on the giant holes, when I was building the set I was very confused and I’m not a fan of that part in particular. Also, the pole thing that flips out of the bottom is supposed to be a gun I believe.

[keyboardking]

i like that they FINALLY took the decision to make airplanes with landing gear, i always wanted this
- however the cockpit has an excessive height, and it should be angled down

[cyberia]

I agree what you said about the stickers and seeing that blue piece when the wing tip folds. That bar you brought down so it look like it's taking off should be 'clear' so you don't see it as much. In the dark color, it looks propped up like you are doing maintenance on the front landing gear.

I love the set and the finished product looks amazing. The fact that Lego left out the extra pieces to switch between the Shield jet and Avenger jet makes me feel as if it’s a money grab so you’ll buy two sets. Regardless I’m going to buy one set. Great review. Thanks Bricksie.

[LucasMCU]

The thing is I really want this set and I know I will choose the SHIELD stickers for the jet but you are right its a bummer that we can't change betweet the two styles because like what if I want to change it from Shield to the Avengers theme in the future? I can't! Like you said an average Lego collector like me doesn't have those pieces, but oh well I'm a big Agents of SHIELD fan so I probably won't change my mind on switching the team. I am concerned though like what if Lego re-releases a "new" version of this exact same set but with the additional pieces for changing the stickers?? I don't want to regret buying it now and then not buying the "new" one... I mean that will probably not happen right??

[brickbro]

I really love this set! At first, 8 didn't expect much from it, but now thanks to your review it has so much more to offer than I thought! I am also very disappointed that there is no additional plates to stick the other stickers onto like you to swamp out avengers to shield or vise versa. And there is a few design flaws that you pointed out as well, I'll just have customize those myself. Thanks for the awesome and honest review!

[kars]

Great review! I agree with the stickers situation, but I think the reason for both sticker sheets is to let us choose whether you want a S.H.I.E.L.D. OR Avengers jet. (I personally like the S.H.I.E.L.D. version much more) The main issue I think is that LEGO advertised it in a way that makes it look interchangeble, but I do not think that was the design choice.
