The New Lego Marvel SHIELD Helicarrier Set Launches Next Month

We'd all love to own a SHIELD Helicarrier, although most of us don't have a spare football field to park it on. Fortunately, this Lego version of the famed flying battleship from the Marvel Cinematic Universe takes up a lot less space, and it's now available to preorder at Walmart ahead of its August 1 release.

Out of the box, you're getting 509 pieces with which to build Nick Fury's favorite mode of transportation. Based on the helicarrier seen in The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron, the Shield flagship is 33cm long when fully constructed and has cool details like a SHIELD-branded runway, arc reactor engines, and a command center. This is made to be a display piece as it comes with a stand to place it on, but if you want to admire your work, you can easily detach it from the base.

The new Lego SHIELD Helicarrier set arrives on August 1 alongside a collection of new Lego Star Wars releases. The new sets include scenes based on recent shows like Star Wars: Ahsoka, classic starships from the original and prequel trilogies, and a "What If" set that reimagines Jar Jar Binks as a Sith lord who pilots a dark version of the Millenium Falcon with a bounty hunter C-3PO sidekick. Be sure to check out our roundup of all the upcoming Lego Star Wars sets to see them all.

Staying in the MCU, there are a few other fun Avengers Lego sets that you can check out. Amazon is offering big discounts on sets like the Avengers: Endgame final battle diorama, and you can get your own Quinjet with a full team of Earth's mightiest mortals inside of it. There's even a Lego version of the famed Infinity Gauntlet that you can build, but it has two drawbacks: it's non-wearable and it doesn't change reality whenever you snap its fingers.
