Massive and intricate. The to-scale quinjets and mini-mini figures take this from being just a great massive lego set to an awesome, massive lego set. I have both the super star destroyer, this helicarrier, and the Tumbler and this one is my favorite.

I think the set itself is excellent even if the price is rather too high. It looks spectacular on display and is certainly a conversation piece. The minifigures are not hugely impressive but the nanofigures are superb and look great on the deck of the Helicarrier. I am not convinced that they are in scale with the model despite their tiny size, but I still love them. Ultimately, I think this set is best described as 'imperfect.' I like it very much on the whole, but the relatively few issues are difficult to overlook.

I think it is a good looking display model and Marvel fans (who aren't hung up on that whole ‘accuracy' thing) are gonna get a kick out of it.

The ship is well designed, easy to put together, looks good, and is packed with all sorts of awesome microscale bits and bobs – and the microfigs are a great addition (I hope to see more of those from LEGO in the future). So the set is a big win – if a little overpriced – with or without the rather slap-dash collection of minifigs that LEGO threw into the box.
