Recommendation: no 4.1 / 5 from 67 reviews

From a 7 year old. This is his favorite Lego set! This set has his favorite character, Hawkeye, and is from one of his favorite scenes from the movie. He says it was also easy to put together. He thinks the airplane is built well and is strong. From experience, he knows that if it falls only the top wings come off and they are easy to put back on!He wants me to mention the rubber bands for the glass door falling over can be found in one if the boxes with the capes.Now he wants all of the Avengers Lego sets.

Recommendation: no 4 / 5 by Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Overall, Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout is a decent set and the minifigures are great. Like the other Super Heroes sets, they are the main draw of the set. I enjoyed building it and the modularity of the sections gives the set more playability.

This is a nice set but the duplication of minifigs with other sets is a little disappointing.

by Ken Robichaud

Buy it, if you haven't already. If you have and you love it as much as I do, buy it again. As always a sale is preferable, but I think this set is worth paying full price on. If you can manage to score it at 20% off it's right in line for those who like to beat their dead horse on the golden ratio. I'll call it now and say this is easily the clear winner for me in 2012 sets for a great balance over all aspects from play to value.
