Based on 8 reviews · thin
Black Widow gets a helicopter and a villain in a car — and somehow LEGO® charged $30 for 271 pieces in 2020. The build is fine, the minifigs are solid, but the price tag is where this set loses the plot.

The Full Take
Three minifigs including Black Widow, Taskmaster, and Yelena Belova is a genuinely strong lineup for a small set — the character selection is the real reason to care here. The helicopter itself is chunky and playable without being embarrassing on a shelf, and the car chase format gives kids an actual scenario to run with. But $30 for 271 pieces was a tough ask even at launch, and it still stings. The build won't challenge anyone past beginner territory, so experienced builders are mostly here for the figures. As a complete package it's likable but not exciting — a C is about right. If you can find it marked down, the calculus shifts meaningfully in your favor.
