Marvel’s Spider-Man: Daily Bugle Newspaper Office
See at Amazon – $301 ($350)
Print isn’t dead, but the Sinister Six are looking to discontinue one of New York’s longest-running newspapers in this massive Lego set! You’ll be able to build your very own Daily Bugle newspaper headquarters in this mammoth set, which has almost 3,800 blocks and measures in at a height of 32 inches once it has been completed. It comes with removable facades to provide easy access to detailed rooms, a penthouse office inhabited by Spider-Man’s mortal enemy J. Jonah Jameson, and plenty of additional characters to populate the skyscraper with. Alongside Jameson, Doctor Octopus, Spider-Man, Venom, Miles Morales, Spider-Ham, Green Goblin, and more can be added to the building, and there are even a few exclusive minifigures to add to your Lego Marvel universe as well.
Avengers: Age of Ultron Hulkbuster
See at Amazon – $361 ($550)
When the Hulk is having a temper tantrum, you’re going to want to call in some heavy-duty Stark technology to help calm the green Goliath down. That’s where the Hulkbuster armor comes in, and this colossal collection of over 4,000 pieces gives you everything you need to build a titanic piece. Based on the Hulkbuster suits seen in the Avengers Infinity Saga, this model comes with three light-up arc reactors, a fully jointed upper body, and a spacious opening cockpit that can hold an Iron Man minifigure.
Captain America’s shield
See at Amazon – $180 ($200)
The bad news is that Vibranium is a fictional metal and you won’t be using a metal frisbee to soak up lasers. The good news is that you can still own Captain America’s shield, as this Lego set recreates the first Avenger’s iconic symbol of truth and justice. For anyone looking for a pretty intensive build, this is an ideal project to spend a few afternoons on. Once you’re done, you’ll have a model that measures 18.5 inches in diameter and can be proudly displayed in your home. Just don’t try to block Thor’s hammer with this replica, because it might not end well for you.
Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet
See at Amazon — $64 ($80)
Would an Infinity Gauntlet solve all of life’s problems with the snap of cosmic-empowered fingers. Possibly, but for now, we’ll settle for a Lego replica of this universal superweapon. While you won’t be able to wear this Infinity Gauntlet without making some major modifications, you’re still getting an awe-inspiring replica that comes with movable fingers and vibrant colors. Each of the Infinity Stones have been recreated and you can show off this mighty piece of fashion with the included display stand and descriptive tablet. We knew you’d want to buy this, it was…inevitable.
Marvel Avengers 2023 Advent Calendar
See at Amazon — $20 ($45)
See at Walmart — $20 ($45)
Traditionally, counting down the days to Christmas has revolved around cracking open an advent calendar and consuming the small morsel of chocolate inside.

All of Marvel’s heaviest hitters are here–from Spider-Man to Black Widow–and several of them are even wearing ugly sweaters to celebrate the occasion. With 24 days of surprise treats, this is a terrific little set to help count down the days to the most wonderful time of the year.
