Thor’s Weapon Quest Review

Marvel Lego set 76102 recreates the scene of Thor’s Weapon Quest. Mjolnir has been destroyed and Thor needs a new Thanos killing hammer. If you’ve seen the film you’ll know that Thor met up with the Guardians of the Galaxy, took their escape pod (included in this set) and set off the Rocket and Groot to get a new weapon. One capable of taking the fight to Thanos. Fans of the film will appreciate the gravity of what happens on the weapons quest but what is this set like to play with?

While I’m a fan of the film, Finn is more interested in playing with the mini-figures and the space ship. To be fair, he hasn’t seen the film.

Minifigures

There are three mini-figures included in this set. We have Thor, Rocket and Groot. THey’re great figures and we’ve had a lot of fun playing with them. Predictably, Finn’s favourite character is Thor so he’s been played with the most.

Thor is a great mini-figure. He comes complete with his new hammer. I wasn’t too keen on the new hammer – you can’t beat the original. It’s not bad though and does follow the film so I shouldn’t complain too much.

Next we have Rocket – everyone’s favourite racoon.

Rocket is another great character but this is a short mini-figure and I never like that their legs are too short and can’t bend. It makes it hard to use them, sit them in spaceships, or what ever else you plan on doing with them. The top part is good though and he is a good addition to the avengers crew. He has his gun but struggles to stay balanced with it in his hands because you can’t bend his legs. You’ll need to make sure to you connect him to a base piece so he doesn’t fall over. I get why they did it like this but I’m not keen.

The last character in the set is Groot.

Now Groot is a good character that I’m really pleased to have in my collection. Details on the body are good, as is his head. The only downside is the plain legs but on balance I still like this mini-figure.

Escape Pod

The escape pod was a fun build. And has some good details. It links to the Thanos Ultimate Battle Set. There is enough space to fit all three characters in and access at the front and back. The roof is also really easy to take off to get them in. There is a lack of controls for the pod but that doesn’t take away from the play value. Finn has really enjoyed playing with is. It has two blasters which are always fun to shoot at things. So what more could you ask for.

This set also comes with the forge to make Thor’s new hammer.

The weapons forge looks great from the front. There is a sliding tray on the bottom and a spinning electric forge for making the weapon. The tray then delivers it.

I must admit that although this is a good part of the set we haven’t really played with it that much. The back of the forge also has one of the infinity stones. This is great if you’re a fan of the film as is the significance of the forge.

Conclusion

Overall, I really enjoyed this set. Mainly for the mini-figures and the escape pod. Finn and I have spent hours flying it around and playing with Thor. We haven’t played much with Rocket but it’s good to have him as part of the collection.

It’s well worth adding this set to your collection, especially if you’re a fan of the film.
