The best Lego Marvel sets for adults

LEGO Marvel isn’t just for kids.

LEGO 76178 Daily Bugle

LEGO’s range of Marvel sets has been going strong for several years. And while it has largely focused on playsets for younger builders, in recent years it’s expanded into larger sets aimed at adults. In our short list here, you’ll find our picks of the best Lego Marvel sets for adults.

From the impressive selection of Lego busts/helmets to the huge Daily Bugle and even bigger Avenger Tower, there’s a Lego Marvel set for adults to suit all budgets. And hopefully, we’ll have more to add to this list in the coming months. But for now, these are the best Marvel sets aimed at adults that you can currently buy.

Suit up, and enjoy!

This list was first published in March 2022 and has been since updated with new sets and information.

Lego Marvel 76178 Daily Bugle

  • Price: £299.99
  • Pieces: 3,772
  • Age: 18+
  • No. of minifigures: 25

One of the most expensive Lego Marvel sets you can buy, the Lego Marvel 76178 Daily Bugle will set you back £300. It’s worth it though, thanks to the sheer size of the thing. It’s detailed, too, and comes with a whopping 25 minifigures, many of which are exclusive to this set.

The Daily Bugle tower is made up of four floors, each packed with detail and cool little Easter eggs that only true Spider-Man fans will get. You an access the interior by taking off the frontage of the building, but there’s enough going on outside, too, thanks to a broken window, a fire escape and a seriously cool ‘Daily Bugle’ sign on the top. Ultimately, this makes a seriously fantastic display piece. You can read our full review of it here.

Lego Marvel 76269 Avengers Tower

  • Price: £429.99
  • Pieces: 5,201
  • Age: 18+
  • No. of minifigures: 31

Knocking the Daily Bugle off its spot as the biggest Lego Marvel set you can buy is the epic Avengers Tower. It’s a whopping 5,201 pieces, putting it amongst the biggest Lego sets of all time. And with 31 (!) minifigures included in the set, it’s up there with the biggest minifigure count, too. Yes, it’s expensive — but if you’ve got the budget for it, the Avengers Tower is without a doubt one of the best Marvel sets for adults you can buy.

Measuring 90cm in height with a base of 34x25cm, it’s safe to say you’re going to need a lot of space to display Avengers Tower. It’s absolutely worth it though, as it looks absolutely stunning from the outside. The Avengers Tower packed with details on the inside too, from hidden details like Thor’s Hammer to glass walkways that show off the opulence of the tower itself. It’s an absolute showstopper.

Lego Marvel 76191 Infinity Gauntlet

  • Price: £69.99
  • Pieces: 590
  • Age: 18+

Want to own your own Infinity Gauntlet? You can, thanks to Lego. Technically a part of the Lego ‘Helmets’ range, this sizeable replica of the Infinity Gauntlet unfortunately doesn’t have any special powers. It does, however, have posable fingers, so you can have fun with that. And its stunning detail and gold colouring really makes it stand out.

In fact, those who like building MOCs might want to buy more than one of these sets to add some gold-coloured bricks to their collection (and potentially change the model into a toilet…). Ultimately though, Lego Marvel 76191 Infinity Gauntlet looks great and is enjoyable to build, making it one of the best LEGO Marvel sets you can get right now.

Lego Marvel 76294 X-Men: The X-Mansion

  • Price: £289.99
  • Pieces: 3,093
  • Age: 18+
  • No. of minifigures: 10

Lego Marvel X-Men: The X-Mansion is a little different from the other sets on this list. It’s not actually based on the Marvel Cinematic Universe — instead, this version of the X-Mansion comes from the 1997 animated series. It’s one for old-school Marvel fans, then, and we absolutely love it.

Rather than being super tall, like the Daily Bugle and the Avengers Tower, The X-Mansion is instead to a similar scale to a Modular set. That means you can pop this alongside your Natural History Museum and your Parisian Café and it’ll look right at home. That’s not to say that it doesn’t look fantastic by itself, though. We love its fancy facade on the outside, but it’s on the inside where the X-Mansion really shines. There are classrooms, training rooms and more, and a whole lot of X-Men Easter eggs — including a nod to that famous Wolverine meme. You know the one.

Lego Marvel 76313 Logo & Minifigures

  • Price: £89.99
  • Pieces: 931
  • Age: 12+
  • No. of minifigures: 5

The newest set on this list is a rather simple one, but one that we like all the same. It’s technically not part of Lego’s ‘adult’ range of sets: it instead has a recommended age rating of 12+. But as a set designed primarily for display, we think it’s going to appeal more to adults. It’s essentially just a brick-built version of the Lego Marvel logo, with three pop-out compartments where minifigures can sit.

We think it’s a rather good interpretation of the Marvel logo, though, and we can see this being a great centrepiece for a Lego Marvel display. It’s perhaps a little overpriced for what it is, so maybe wait for a sale. But we can’t deny that we love the simplicity of it.
