A really nice little set!
I saw this randomly on the website and I've built set 76105 (Ultron) and 76031 (Smash) so I was intrigued. This turned out to be a nice little build! It's very much a cross between the two aforementioned with this set having the stronger click joints rather than the normal ball and socket. I like the overall look and feel and it's got a nice range of articulation. Couple (minor) downsides that don't really affect the product: The feet were kind of lackluster compare to the other two sets. It ads some stability but it's not the best. And second the arms don't fully straighten but again, not the biggest concern. I definitely say pick this up if you're a fan of giant robots. It's a little pricey for what you get but I'm chalking that up to licensing.

Poor build
Overall the build is good. But parts of the torso, which attach to following rib tiles, shoulder guards etc, are so tightly spaced, leaving no room for the articulation of said items to move.
Tolerances between these parts is minuscule, which results in subsequently fitted parts popping off continuously.
Also, the stance of the legs, with fixed knee joint, really limits the posture when standing the finished build in many poses.
Overall 3/10, must have been designed late on a Friday afternoon.
Have a quiet word with yourselves LEGO, this could have been a great build, but you have not delivered on this .

Defective set
To keep it short, the ankles are rushed and ruined the set for me.
To elaborate, they don't bend far enough forward to balance the figure without making it look like it's taking a hulk sized number two. That or you have to splay it's hips out wide like it's wearing cutoff denim jorts.
To make matters worse, the waist could have easily been on a pivot, but is most definitely not.
The set looks fine, but has few display options and little play value given it's mobility limitations.
I'm noticing a trend with sets lacking in 'tegrity and yet the price goes up. Less for more is no way to run a business.
A few more waves like this and I'll probably retire from collecting sets and just settle for buying after market minis

Educational and exciting
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seeing as how Christmas just passed, gifting my boys the The Hulkbuster: The Battle of Wakanda as a belated item just isn't in the works now. However, we have Summer plans to vacation and I am so excited to take this with us for them to play with. From 4 little Lego men, you can make one large hulk of a monster! This has 385 pieces and when fully assembled, is almost a foot tall! My husband is the biggest kid in the house and wants to play with it now, ummm - NO. Seriously, this is a huge set, lots of pieces, a number of assemble options and being plastic, it is wipe clean. Thank you LEGO for another wonderful set for my boys to enjoy!

Horrible build
Bought this for my son as a Christmas gift and waited a week to take him to get it. The build is bad. Pieces are “instructed” to connect it was that they hang and barely stay connected when attached together on the torso. “Hip areas” on the sides of the torso constantly pop off with every touch. Stands awkward and too heavy so it is near impossible to display without leaning. Impossible to play with as the pieces are constantly falling apart. The more Lego makes hulk busters, the worse they are and the price only goes up. Son already gave up and threw it in a zip lock bag. Thanks Lego.

Underwhelming
I like the Hulkbuster, it's cool. But it is just very underwhelming. It's quite small. It is smaller than the Iron man set. I feel it should have been 50% bigger.

Excellent addition to my son's Marvel collection
As my son gets older, the complexity of the builds increases and so does my satisfaction with my purchases.
I picked this up for my son's 7th birthday, it was an enjoyable build experience, with lots of interesting build techniques, and even my four year old daughter enjoyed getting involved.
The end result is a great looking build that he is having lots of fun playing with and so in that respect, it's a win.
I agree with some other reviewers that the articulation is limited, and he stands somewhat awkwardly when viewed from the side. My son is not bothered by this however and so I am not going to knock the set on that count because ultimately, he is the target market not me!
At full price it's an interesting proposition because you are getting four minifigures and an excellent Hulkbuster build so whilst I do think it's a little overpriced, I don't think you would be disappointed with the set, even if you paid full price.

Great value!
LEGO has released several versions of the Hulkbuster, but I think this is the best of them all, and offers the greatest value for what you pay for it. The Hulkbuster is just the right size, has a great form to it, and was fun to build. And you get several minifigures to make a battle scene with. Being able to see Bruce Banner's minifig hands still when the Hulkbuster helmet is down is the only negative about this set, and that's just me being picky. Well done LEGO!
