After being unable to get my hands on a Lego Ship in a Bottle for a few weeks and after seeing how impressive it is in real life after seeing a display I thought I’d swear off buying Lego sets for a while. Unfortunately, that didn’t last long because immediately I came across something on Facebook promoting the upcoming Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition Lego set.<\/p>\n
After discovering the set I started counting down the days it would be released and when that day came I immediately went down to the nearest Lego Store and bought one. It’s a good thing I went to buy one right away because ever since it came out I have not been able to find them again..<\/p>\n
Originally I was going to sit on this set for a while. I have several other toys to photograph and do write-ups on as well as other things I wanted to write about before getting to this one but after realizing that Avengers: Infinity War<\/em> is coming out soon I figured I should try to take advantage of the sudden surge of people doing all these Avengers and Marvel-related searches.<\/p>\n Considering how Lego is calling this set “Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition” it’s pretty obvious that it is based on the Hulkbuster suit that Tony Stark used in Avengers: Age of Ultron<\/em> when the Scarlet Witch used her powers to make Bruce Banner Hulk out and attack the other Avengers. If you’re like me and you like digging for backstory or more information (even if it is made up) on things and look through the Marvel Cinematic Universe wiki you’ll learn that this armor is officially designated Mark XLIV (44) and is nicknamed “Veronica” which is supposed to be a reference\/joke to the old Archie Comics. The joke is that Bruce Banner’s girlfriend\/wife is named Betty and in the Archie Comics, Archie is in a love triangle with two chicks named Betty and Veronica.<\/p>\n If you need some more refreshing of the Hulkbuster armor here are some clips from Avengers: Age of Ultron<\/em> from where it made its debut.<\/p>\n
