We'd all love to own a SHIELD Helicarrier, although most of us don't have a spare football field to park it on.

Out of the box, you're getting 509 pieces with which to build Nick Fury's favorite mode of transportation.

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.
