Best overall

What can we even say about the Lego Marvel Avengers Tower? At nearly a meter tall this thing needs no introduction as it will dominate just about any shelf you place it on. It's going to be a huge talking point for any Marvel fan you invite over once it's built. But before you get there, you've got an epic — and varied and enjoyable — build on your hands.

At $500, this isn't a Lego set you can buy on a whim. It's a serious investment, but the good news is, like the vast majority of other large Lego sets before it, it's going to hold its value. (Just keep the box and instructions, whatever you do!) We think it's worth every penny though, whether you're a collector or a Marvel fan. There's so much to enjoy.

There are tons of little details packed in to the multiple floors of the tower, from Thor's hammer to the Tesseract. If you've seen the Avengers movies, you're going to get a kick out of everything as you build it.

Perhaps our favorite thing about the Lego Marvel Avengers Tower, though, anad one reason we've chosen it as the best Lego Marvel set, is just how many minifigures it includes. There are 31 here, including a host of familiar faces. There's Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hulk, Hawkeye, Wanda Maximoff and lots more.

Best for Spider-Man fans

Is there anything more amazing than The Amazing Spider-Man? One of the best Lego Marvel sets you can buy, this is going to appeal to comic book fans more than any other, thanks to its classic comic book aesthetic. This isn't movie Spider-Man, but as long as that's not a problem, you're going to absolutely love this set.

It's fun to build thanks to its unique layering techniques, and having 2,099 pieces means it's not a huge undertaking either. Like Lego's 'Art' range, this one comes with a special soundtrack to listen to on your smartphone as you're building it — it's been tailor-made to enhance the building process.

Once it's finished you might have a little trouble getting it on the wall thanks to its Lego hanging piece, but it's secure enough when it's up there.

We love the colors and the way Spidey pops out of the frame: It's almost as if he's alive! There are some nifty Easter eggs here, too, like the fact that there are 15 spiders crawling off the frame — it's a homage to #15 of "Amazing Fantasy", where Spider-Man first appeared.

Best for Iron Man fans

Once you get over the eye-watering price, it's hard not to be impressed by Lego's Hulkbuster. This isn't the first Hulkbuster we've had of course: We've had a number of smaller ones over the years, but nothing on the scale of this behemoth. Is bigger better? Perhaps not always, but in this case, we think it's safe to say yes — no other Hulkbuster comes close.

In terms of the build, this isn't a Lego set you should undertake as an beginner. Serious Lego builders only, thanks to lots of complex sections and an eye-watering piece count.

When it's built, the Lego Marvel Hulkbuster looks absolutely fantastic. It's hugely imposing, however, so you're going to need a lot of space to display this. At 21 inches tall and 19 inches wide, you'll need a big (and strong) shelf or an empty side table to place it on. It's going to look great wherever you put it, though.

We cannot overlook that price though, and we have to wonder if it's worth the asking price. Had it been a little more reasonable we'd have rated this one higher. But as it is, we're just not sure we can comfortably spend so much on one Lego model.

Best for Black Panther fans

If you're a fan of Black Panther, then this is undoubtedly one of the best Lego Marvel sets you can buy. This almost-lifesize bust captures King T'Challa's helmet in all its glory, putting Lego's other helmets to shame. 

Along with the head, it also comes with Black Panther's gloves. Interesting, you can display this set in one of two ways: with or without the hands. Choose to have them, and it'll appear as if he's posing with his hands on his shoulders. Prefer it without? That's entirely your call.

As fantastic as this set looks when it's finished, though, it's not the most interesting build thanks to the mass of black bits (other than the odd bit of silver detailing). You'll need a lot of patience to get to the end of it. Manage it, though, and it's absolutely worth it.

Being close to lifesize, it's obviously a large model, and that comes with a steep price tag. The good news? It's almost perpetually on offer, and there's been 40% off on Lego for several months.

Best for Guardians of the Galaxy fans

One of the newer Lego Marvel sets to feature on this list, Rocket & Baby Groot sits in that sweet spot between pocket-money sets and the more expensive adult builds. At $59.99, we think it offers great value, and being aimed at builders aged 10 and over, it's not too complex that kids won't be able to enjoy putting it together.

That said, it does have some fiddly sections, thanks to Rocket's posable limbs, so we perhaps wouldn't recommend this set for complete Lego beginners. As long as you've put a few sets together before, though, we don't think you'll have too much problem.

Rocket's no slouch: This set is 8.5 inches tall, so makes a great display piece. Its moving parts make it useable as an action figure for younger fans, too, although we'd advise using caution as it's not the most stable build in the world. 

There's only one minifigure included here - an adorable Baby Groot. It's designed to sit on Rocket's shoulder, and so there's a dedicated space for it to attach. We'd have liked to see a Rocket minifigure for display purposes too, but it's certainly not a dealbreaker.

Best for Avengers fans

It's a fairly expensive set for what it is — $100 for 794 pieces isn't exactly great value. But it's the minifigures you're paying for here, if anything: There are seven figures, including a large 'big fig' of Thanos. Also included are Captain Marvel, Okoye, Wanda Maximoff, Shuri, Valkyrie and The Wasp. It's an excellent selection, and lots of minifigures we don't frequently see, making it a great choice for collectors.

But there's more to like than just the minifigures. This set recreates the final battle from Avengers: Endgame, so if you're a movie fan you'll appreciate lots of little details included in the set. 

Hidden surprises include Captain America's shield, the time stone, a rat that can open portals and Thor's hammer. These little touches really bring the set to life, especially for kids who'll be using it as a playset.

We like it even as a display piece, though. Its non-standard shape really catches the eye, and Lego designers have done a great job of capturing the look and feel of chaos and destruction.

We'd perhaps recommend waiting for a sale on this one, though. While the minifigures do offer good value (big figs alone tend to be worth $15-$20), a 20% or so discount will make this set a much more tempting offer.

Best for minifigures

At $350, the Lego Marvel Daily Bugle isn't a purchase to make lightly — but do it, and it's one you're most likely not going to be disappointed with. It measures over 32 inches (82cm) tall, making it tower over most other Lego sets. It's quite the imposing model, then, but it looks absolutely fantastic.

There are four storeys in the Daily Bugle, each one is filled with lots of fun little details. Whether you're a comic book or movie fan, you'll find little Easter eggs to make you chuckle, all nestled between the usual office equipment like desks, photocopiers and computers. The walls can be removed, too, so you can peer into any floor whenever you feel like it.

On the outside, the Daily Bugle is filled with life thanks to its impressive glass front, eye-catching fire escape and attention-grabbing signage atop the building. There's also a traditional New York City taxi cab to give the building a sense of presence within the bustling city.

The best thing, though? All the minifigures: There are 25 of them here. It's been beaten by the Avengers Tower recently, but it's still a huge number of minifigs, and there are some fantastic characters here. Including Spider-Ham, Gwen, Mysterio, Venom, Carnage, Dr. Octopus, The Punisher, and more, it really is the ultimate collection for Spider-Man fans.

Best for modular fans

This 2,708 piece model of Doctor Strange's iconic Sanctum Sanctorum is just delightful. So delightful, in fact, that we'd possibly even say it's one of our favorite Lego Marvel sets, just missing out on the top spot due to the recent release of the Avengers Tower.

That said, Sanctum Sanctorum is half the price of the Avengers Tower, and still packs in a wonderful amount of detail and some fantastic minifigures. There are nine here, including Doctor Strange himself, Iron Man, Spider-Man and plenty others. Each one of them comes with various authentic accessories, and can be posed in numerous ways across the grand house.

Across the three floors of Sanctum Sanctorum, you'll get to enjoy lots of details. There are hidden portals, bookcases, weird and wonderful trinkets — and even the odd tentacled monster. Lego really have gone all out when it comes to designing the interior of this set: It's clear they've had a lot of fun with it.

What's particularly cool is that if you own any of Lego's other Modular sets (like the Boutique Hotel or Police Station), the Sanctum Sanctorum can fit right alongside them, looking like an inconspicuous building on a street. Just like the real thing. Yes, it's a pricey set, but if you have $250 to spend on a Lego set, you won't regret choosing this one.

Best set under $100

The Lego Marvel Infinity Gauntlet stands out thanks to the sheer amount of gold bricks used in its construction. They’re typically quite rare in Lego sets, and so the number of them here makes this set an attractive purchase for Lego collectors, regardless of how they feel about Marvel. 

However, if you are a Marvel fan, you hopefully won’t be disappointed with this replica Infinity Gauntlet, either. The set looks fantastic when finished, with each finger bejeweled with one of the infinity stones. 

It comes on a display stand, making it look great on any shelf or desk, but our favorite thing is that the digits on the gauntlet are poseable. We shouldn’t suggest you make lewd hand gestures, but that’s a thing you can do if you feel so inclined.

The price tag feels a little high at $79.99, considering there’s only 590 pieces in the set, but the finished model feels adequately detailed. It's worth the asking price in gold bricks alone for a collector, so that's certainly something to keep in mind.

Best set under $50

$49.99 doesn't sound like a bargain, but in the world of Lego, it pretty much is. You're getting a lot of Lego here for the price, being that Venomized Groot is made up of 630 pieces. You won't necessarily use them all, though: Groot can be built in one of two ways. One is half-Groot, half-Venom; the other is primarily Venom.

With poseable limbs, you can stand Groot in a number of ways and his arms can move too. With these joints, however, he can be a little fiddly to build so you'll want to be delicate and take care.

There are a lot of cool little touches here, like the Venom 'mouths' coming off Groot. And if you choose to built the half-and-half model, you'll get to enjoy his face having one Groot eye and one Venom eye. A seriously nice touch.

The main downside? Lego Marvel Venomized Groot contains a fair few stickers, some of which go on Groot's face. It's annoying, but forgivable — especially at this price point.

Best for kids

While the bright, bold colors and shapes of Lego Marvel Team Spidey Web Spinner Headquarters are undoubtedly eye-catching, be warned that this is a very basic set. This isn't one for adult builders: It carries Lego's 4+ rating, meaning it's designed with the youngest builders in mind. It's basically the first step up from Duplo. 

Like all sets in the 4+ range, its pieces are larger than your typical Lego set, making for easier building and more straightforward instructions. As such, there's only 193 pieces in this set, which for $54.99 sounds very expensive.

You are getting a good amount of fun for your buck, though. We love the colors here, and there's a great selection of minifigures. You'll find Spider-Man, Iron Man, Miles Morales, Ghost-Spider and Zola as part of the set. Zola even has a large mech that she can sit in, which is particularly cool.

The whole set is based around a simple but fun "headquarters build", which is laden with fun accessories and topped off with a large, printed Spider-Man head — undoubtedly the star of the whole set.
