Captain America's Avenging Cycle 6865


Another birthday present, by a friend who knows I like Lego :)

It has three minifigs, plus the Captain's bike, a "General's craft", and a missile turret. 

The Captain America minfig is awesome, good colour and prints, and I like that his head is one piece without a helmet or anything. The shield is great as well.


The bike looks like a standard Lego bike model, but it's nice that they included a piece to hold the shield. 


The flying craft and the turret are nice, I like the beige/golden look. The minfigs are quite cool as well, but they don't exactly look like the Chitauri from the movie (then again, it is a pretty complicated design to lego-fy). I also don't remember the Chitauri having a turret with missiles in the movie... but I suppose it does makes the set more playable. 


The soldier has a lighter colour than the general, the general has a more complicated chest piece design and a big gun. 

Overall, it's a nice little set. As far as I know, it's the only set with Captain America in it, so fans of him should definitely get it, it's a great minifig. I don't really care that much for the bike and Chitauri stuff, even though I like the minifigs and the golden look. One negative is that there are 6 stickers to apply, but they're not really that hard to get right.
It seems like this set is now pretty rare, it's sold out on the Lego store, and on Amazon it's being sold at quite a bit above the recommended retail price. At the RRP (€15) it offers decent value for money, but I definitely wouldn't buy it myself if it was more expensive.

All in all, a nice little set that you'll probably like the most because of the Captain America minifigure.
