"The quinjet is fabulous!!! Nice and sturdy. The figs are great though I agree Iron Man is WAY overused this wave. Vision is awesome (and it's the only way to get him so far) and the Ultron figure is one of the best figs in the wave! Great for any Marvel fan. The motorcycle function is clever and fun to play around with (try making the motorcycle land perfectly lol). Highly recommended."
I would recommend this to a friend!

"The set is a very fun build, with nice design and a cool color scheme. The features are very fun to use when playing. I have a few small nitpicks though.
The minifigures are very nicely designed. Especially Black Widow and Vision. The printing on both of them is outstanding. Captain America's new outfit looks very vibrant and nice as well. Ultron is also a welcome addition to the set. Iron man is my only complaint minifigure wise. I love his design, but he comes in almost every other AoU set. I have about 8 of him. He wasn't even in that scene in the movie. I personally would have rathered the set include Hawkeye, who actually piloted the Quinjet in that scene, An Ultron Sentry or one of the Maximoff twins. Moving on!
The actual build is very nice, with a very sleek look. It was relatively easy to build. The play functions are also very cool. One stands out in particular. The motorcycle feature is very nice, and the button that activates it blends in well. The cockpit very nicely seats on minifigure. It also opens and closes very smoothly. The rope feature was random and I didn't really care for it. The back opens smoothly, and that leads to my next problem... The back is WAY too small. I have to stuff to get 2 minifigures in there! I really wish lego added more space. That would be very welcome.
The truck looks nice from the outside, but it rather flimsy. The sides fall off too often. The case that holds Vision is very nicely stored in the back, and I very much like the cab. However the stickers are a pain to place.
Besides that, the set is great. I love the look of the set, it has good play and display value, and the figures are very nice."
"Wow, this set is AWESOME! I cannot believe how good Lego made the Quinjet. It is extremely big and realistic, and the hidden features make it just as suitable for play as it is for display. The opening hatch that drops Captain America's motorcycle is really clever, but I had to push the button a few times until it finally came out. I like how the lab truck can explode and Ultron can steal the Ultron army sample from the back.
The characters are great! I enjoy Captain America, Iron Man and Black Widow's new costumes, but the exclusive Ultimate Ultron and Vision minifigures are even better. Ultron looks so much like he does in the movie!
In conclusion, I love this set and I think $80 is a good price for it. Although it is a bit of a challenge, I would recommend this set to any moderate to advanced Lego builder."
"The LEGO Avengers Quinjet City Chase is a great set, but there are a few nit-picky problems I had with the set.
First of all, the minifigure designs were great for the Avengers. Vision is a hard character to design in LEGO form so it was pretty close with what the LEGO Group had to work with. My only complaint abou thte minifigures is Iron Man. Iron Man comes in nearly every single set, including this one. Iron Man wasn't in this scene in the movie, yet he is included in the set. It just seems like a waste of a minifigure spot. Hawkeye, Wanda or Pietro Maximoff, or others that were actually in this scene of the movie should've replaced Iron Man.
The Quinjet itself had an amazing exterior design, but the inside is very tightly spaced. In the middle area of the Quinjet there is an amazing feature that drops the Avenger's motorcycle onto the ground. The cockpit is very spacious and fits Black Widow, or other minifigures, great. The back part of the Quinjet is very small. Only minifigures without head pieces can fit inside. The Quinjet also has another cool feature that can drop a minifigure on a rope underneath the Quinjet.
The truck also has very amazing features. With the push of one small tile on the rear end of the truck the whole back end of the truck breaks apart, giving the illusion that it is exploding. It is a little smaller in the front, though. It is a little harder to put a minifigure inside the driver's seat. The only complaint I have with the truck is that it is very small compared to the truck in the movie. For $80 we should have gotten something a little bigger.
Overall this set is a good set. A little overpriced and has a few issues, but is still a good set as part of the Avengers Age of Ultron LEGO wave."
