LEGO 76216 Marvel Iron Man Armory & 75312 Star Wars Boba Fett’s Starship Building Toy for Kids Age 9 Plus, Mandalorian Model Set with 2 Minifigures

Product Information

Thanks for reading my review of 76216 Iron Man Armoury, ahead of its launch on 1 June 2022, where it will be available from LEGO.com, your local LEGO Store, or toy store.

If you missed out on previous Hall of Armour sets, this is a great way to get you up to speed, and you also get the bonus of receiving the latest and greatest Iron Man suits as well, but, and it’s great to finally see Whiplash as a minifigure! Iron Man fans and completionists are going to love this set, as it’s a really complete set, with plenty of cool features like new Iron Man armor, as well as printed glass elements and display panels to complete the look. More excitingly, the set features the antagonist of Iron Man 2, Ivan Vanko, better known as his alias Whiplash which finally gets a LEGO minifigure version.Special thanks to the LEGO Group for providing this set for review 76216 Iron Man Armoury – Set Details Because of all of this, and not much newness introduced (War Machine and Mark 25 nonwithstanding), I feel like the asking price is way too high, and this set does not deliver sufficient value, especially if you are a hardcore LEGO Marvel fan who is dying to expand your Iron Man armour collection. After yesterday’s 76217 I Am Groot reveal, LEGO.com have unveiled another new Marvel set this one for the Iron Man fans with a refreshed 76216 Iron Man Armoury, slated for a 1 June 2022 release worldwide.

Technically, these are all new variants because they come with the brand new 2022 LEGO Iron Man helmets… which will be extremely divisive among fans. I’m not sure if this set is really necessary, as 76125 Iron Man Hall of Armour has only just retired, but Iron Man minifigures and new armours always seem to make good business sense for LEGO, and we also have a slightly updated Hall of Armour design, again, which may or may not be good news for LEGO Iron Man fans. The new helmets are a slight refresh over the iconic LEGO Iron Man helmet, and they function the same, with the mask able to be popped open and raised, revealing the minifigure face beneath it. He comes in a bootleg Iron Man armour, which does look quite cool, thanks to the shoulderpads that add some bulk to it, as well as the one-piece helmet. The new models are quite basic, but much taller and utilise large door-sized panes of glass, as well as trans-blue Garage Door Roller Doors.Not sure if we needed a new Hall of Armour type set as 76125 Iron Man Hall of Armour only just retired a few months ago, but LEGO have thrown in a generous helping of minifigures, and also introduced, for the very first time, Iron Man 2 villain Whiplash as a minifigure. Personally, my favourite is the Silver Centurion one – which is one of my favourite LEGO Iron Man armours of all time. Like the original Iron Man helmets, this new helmet features a flip-up faceplate. The new faceplate clips into the main helmet when closed. The new helmet is also a touch larger and frames the minifigure face differently when opened. It’s LEGO Marvel’s 10th Anniversary this year as well, and a decade in, LEGO have also sought to introduce a brand new LEGO Iron Man helmet design, which may or may not be good news to LEGO Iron Man fans.

More LEGO City Summer 2022 sets revealed – 60337 Passenger Express Train and 60347 Supermarket [LEGO City]They’re quite easy to replicate infinitely, and I think these are a big improvement over the predominantly greyer older versions. Here’s a look at the Armoury, which has 8 modules, spread across 2 levels. Trans-blue elements are dominant here, which represents the biggest departure from the design of the previous Hall of Amor set. I don’t have the old Hall of Armor set, but here’s the official photo to compare. The new helmet also introduces a new Iron Man mask, which has a slightly different profile, and opts for a more realistic Iron Man look, instead of a LEGO Iron Man one.
