Today we take a very quick tour of the content of the LEGO Marvel set 76292 Captain America vs. Red Hulk Battle, a box of 223 pieces that will be available on the official online store, in LEGO Stores as well as at a few other retailers from December 1, 2024 at the public price of €54,99.
Between the reduced inventory and the mind-boggling retail price of this box, one could almost imagine that it is a reference stamped 4+ but this is not the case and it is indeed a "classic" derivative product intended for young fans of the Marvel universe.
As you know, this box is based on the movie Captain America: Brave New World whose theatrical release is now expected for February 2025 after being postponed twice. It therefore theoretically highlights one of the scenes from the film in which four protagonists confront each other around a mini-ship whose interpretation in LEGO version is not very appealing. However, it remains to be seen what the source of inspiration for this mini-ship is, it is difficult to really assess its relevance at this stage.
As you might expect, the ship of less than 200 pieces is assembled very quickly, the longest step being applying the large handful of stickers provided to the flying machine. We quickly conclude that these few bricks are only there to justify the product's "construction toy" designation, which incidentally offers some fun possibilities via the two Stud Shooters integrated and the cockpit accessible, and that the essential is obviously elsewhere.
Four figures are included in this box: Sam Wilson as Captain America, Lieutenant Joaquin Torres as Falcon, mutant Ruth Bat-Seraph also known as Sabra, and President Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross as Red Hulk.
The casting is interesting with a Sam Wilson who changes outfit after the book version LEGO Marvel Character Encyclopedia available since October 2024, that Series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier delivered in one of the LEGO Marvel Studios bags 71031 Collectible Minifigure Series (2021) as well as that of the exclusive minifig to San Diego Comic-Con 2015 so inspired by the crossover Secret Wars. This new minifig is accomplished, even if the pad-printed legs that could have been used here will remain reserved for the version exclusive to the encyclopedia.
I am less of a fan of the combination of parts for the wings which prevent the character from standing without having to lean the figurine forward and laboriously search for the balance point (The supports visible in the photos are not provided by LEGO). The result seems a little crude and lacking in finesse, I preferred the more "light" solution used for the bagged minifig from the LEGO Marvel Studios series 71031 Collectible Minifigure SeriesThe Redwing drone is symbolized here by a sticker, a pad-printed version would have been appreciated, especially at the price of the box.
Joaquin Torres aka Falcon has the same stability problem as the one whose role he is taking over, and it is the same observation: the minifig is superb, the wings are a little cruder. The mutant Ruth Bat-Seraph is here ordinary even if the torso of this character is very correct. The rest of the figurine is an assembly of elements already seen elsewhere: the head of Pansy Parkinson (Harry Potter), the legs of Electro and a bunch of generic figurines from the CITY range and a hair available at LEGO since 2009.
Finally, we get a new, never-before-seen Red Hulk figurine that takes over from the one delivered in 2017 in the LEGO Marvel set. 76078 Hulk vs. Red hulk. Nothing looks more like a "BigFig" than another "BigFig", it's up to each person to see if this format suits them: Hulk would have had a little trouble being satisfied with the minifig format, this solution which is nevertheless not to scale has its fans and its detractors.
The pad printing is a bit rough here on the legs of the character with edges that are not completely covered with ink on my copy. It remains to be seen whether the figurine is consistent with the appearance of Ross who has become all red, embodied on screen by Harrison Ford, even if it seems to me that this Red Hulk is just an evolution of the generic version of 2017 with a few additional fringes on the shorts.
In short, you will have understood, LEGO is selling here four figurines and a few bricks for €55 and even if it will quickly be possible to obtain this product for much less expensive elsewhere than on the manufacturer's official online store, we can be surprised by this unreasonable price which reminds us of the similar pricing policy already applied for the LEGO Marvel set. 76232 The Hoopty with its 420 pieces and its three minifigs sold for €94.99.
However, it is difficult to blame LEGO for taking advantage of the fans' craze for Marvel universe minifigs, as many people only buy these boxes to extract the different characters and conscientiously line them up in Ribba frames. The manufacturer would therefore be wrong to deprive itself of maximizing its margin, since fans buy without flinching and do not seem to tire of paying full price for these boxes, judging by the figures communicated by LEGO each year.
As Coluche said: "When you think that if people just stopped buying them, they would stop selling.". We all know that it won't happen, we'll just have to try to find the most opportune moment to pay a little less for this set than at LEGO.
Note: The product shown here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at 15th November 2024 next at 23:59 p.m. Simply post a comment below the article to participate. Your participation is taken into account regardless of your opinion. Avoid “I’m participating” or “I’m trying my luck”, we suspect that this is the case.
As you already know, according to many more or less well-documented rumors, LEGO is preparing a model of the Endurance ship in its LEGO ICONS range for the end of the year and it is the Singaporean version from the official online store which made the blunder of the day by briefly publishing a first visual of what strongly resembles this product.
We will have to wait for a proper official announcement to take a closer look at this set bearing the reference 10335 Endurance which would be marketed on the occasion of Black Friday 2024 and which we are told everywhere at more than 3000 pieces and at a public price of €259,99. As it stands, we can already have a little idea of the look of this model which will join that of the LEGO set 10294 Titanic on the shelf dedicated to boats that eventually sank.
LEGO has scheduled a live announcement on November 7, 2024 of the product that will be launched on the occasion of Black Friday and it will probably be this big box whose official announcement should therefore logically not be long in coming.
Today we get the first official visuals of three new LEGO Marvel movies based on the movie. Captain America: Brave New World which is now expected to be released in theaters in February 2025 after being pushed back twice. Anthony Mackie will reprise the title role as Sam Wilson/Captain America.
Three boxes are planned with on one side a staging of the confrontation between Captain America (Sam Wilson) and Red Hulk (Thaddeus Ross), two other characters also being delivered in this first set: Falcon (Lieutenant Joaquin Torres) and Ruth Bat-Seraph (the mutant Sabra), and we will also obtain the inevitable Action Figure of Captain America to build with his pair of wings as well as a collection of figurines in BrickHeadz format.

Two of these three boxes offered for pre-order by Amazon will be available from December 1, 2024, they are also referenced on the official online store, they are directly accessible via the links above and you can also pre-order them.
LEGO Marvel New Captain America Minifigure
LEGO Marvel Captain America vs Hulk Red - Minifi
Let's go for the actual availability of two new LEGO products that we have already talked about a lot here and elsewhere with on one side the X-Men school accompanied by a large handful of minifigs and on the other the official version of the botanical garden initially proposed by a fan via the LEGO IDEAS platform. These two products are at the same public price of €329,99 and LEGO has imagined two small promotional products that are responsible for motivating fans to spend the requested amounts.
As usual, it's up to you to decide whether to jump right in and pay the full price for these sets or whether to be a little patient and wait for the inevitable discounts that will be offered in the weeks and months to come. at Amazon, on FNAC.com, at Cdiscount, at Auchan as well as some other retailers.

NEWS FOR NOVEMBER 2024 ON THE LEGO SHOP >>
(All links to the shop redirect to the version of the official shop for your country of connection)
Let's go for two new promotional offers now active on the official LEGO online store which join the one currently in progress with the possibility of combining the three offers if you buy the two products concerned which automatically allows you to reach the minimum amount required to take advantage of the third current offer. It's simple.
Attention, make sure you are logged in to your LEGO account and are a member of the loyalty program LEGO Insiders so that the relevant products are added to your order.
We have already talked about it, it is now up to everyone to evaluate whether the promotional products offered are likely to make the public prices of the products concerned by these offers go down easier. Some will judge that this is the case while others will prefer to wait until these boxes are available cheaper elsewhere than at LEGO. We do not judge, everyone has their own vision of things.
