Thor Mech Armor

Thor Mech Armor (76169) is a great playset. It comes at a good price point both in terms of brick count and the amount of the build time that you get. Additionally, the price is appealing to Minifigure collectors who want the Thor character without having to pay more for a big set. more less

The most important aspect of these mechs is their reflection of each character and 76169 Thor Mech Armour succeeds in that regard. Despite the hero lacking especially distinctive colours, I think his mech is immediately identifiable with the character. The suggested cape looks superb and I greatly appreciate such obvious distinction from other models. more less

At first, I was pretty skeptical about these sets. The minifigures were nice, but the mech suits were pretty lacking. They all looked pretty similar, and felt a bit on the cheap side. Then I remembered that these are coming in at a $10 USD price point – currently the same cost as two blind-bag collectible minifigures. The average price-per-part is just under 8 cents, which isn't terrible. And if you are willing to do some “alternate math" and remove the minifigures from the equation at $5 each, then the value per part comes in at a mere four cents per. And that super low ratio includes some very useful, rare, and new elements. more less

These little builds will allow your younger Marvel fans to have a bit of fun not just making the sets, but posing them. They're reasonably well balanced and with those big feet, they're able to get a good…footing…to be quite stable. more less

Overall, I was more impressed than I was expecting by the model. It's more complex than it seems on the surface, and if you have the others I'm sure the full collection on a shelf looks great. It's also great value at 7c per part, a great way for those Minifigure collectors out there to get a great Thor with a rare helmet. more less

A running trend of these Mech Suits is the impressive nature of the included Minifigures. Here you'll find Thor, the god of thunder, who has appeared in a number of sets previous to this one. However, the version here includes his classic winged helmet. This iconic look hasn't really been seen in the MCU sets, apart from two based on Ragnarok. So this is an amazing chance to this version of Thor to your collection. more less
