What if… the LEGO<\/a> Marvel<\/a> team slipped a detail-focused display piece into its otherwise play-oriented Infinity Saga line-up? Say hello to 76200 Bro Thor’s New Asgard<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, unlike Marvel<\/a>’s new animated Disney<\/a>+ series, it\u2019s no hypothetical: it\u2019s reality. 76200 Bro Thor\u2019s New Asgard<\/a> sits squarely as a display piece, dressed to the nines in small details – an oddity and novelty in LEGO<\/a>\u2019s Marvel<\/a> line-up, particularly given its price point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, let\u2019s check out all of those details and see if it\u2019s worthy of a place on your shelf. As an automatic positive, its regular retail release and 7+ age mark means we avoid the black void of the LEGO<\/a> Group\u2019s 18+ packaging. Phew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A small set at just 265 pieces, many of them tiny, 76200 Bro Thor\u2019s New Asgard<\/a> progresses quickly from base to finish. No revolutionary techniques are employed here, but much like the film scene, all of the details have been thoughtfully curated to create a look that\u2019s messy, but not overwhelming to the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somewhat unusually for a LEGO<\/a> set, the instructions have you place a number of things at odd angles off of single studs, including a pizza box, newspaper, a picture from Thor\u2019s more victorious past, and the TV set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most details can be traced directly to the relevant scene in Avengers: Endgame, though of course they have been pared down since this set is just one small slice of the multi-room house in the movie. The sheer quantity of different minifigure accessories stands out against any LEGO<\/a> set, including as many or more as you\u2019d often find in the largest minifigure-compatible sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We adult fans commonly complain about stickers, but the graphic design work in 76200 is of an exceptional quality. There\u2019s the Welcome to New Asgard sign that closely matches the movie (albeit at a reduced size); the newspaper that reads ‘5 Years After the Blip’; that Thor picture; three Stormbreaker Pizza boxes; and finally the TV screen that mimics Fortnite but features classic<\/a> LEGO<\/a> trees, what looks like a LEGO<\/a> Korg wielding both Thor\u2019s hammer and Stormbreaker, and even references ‘noobmaster’, who Thor and Korg talk to in the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of these stickers are square or rectangular, and thus pretty easy to apply. Plus, bearing in mind some of the LEGO<\/a> Group\u2019s print quality lately, it\u2019s probably a blessing that these are stickers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of Stormbreaker, that\u2019s also included in the set with the same build as its other appearances, such as in 76193 The Guardians\u2019 Ship<\/a> and 76192 Avengers: Endgame Final Battle<\/a>. Its position in the corner makes it hard for Thor to carelessly pop caps off bottles with it like he does in the movie, but you can create your own scenes with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
