REVIEW: 5002946 Silver Centurion

[WhiteFang]

Hello everyone,

This is the beginning of my 2016 LEGO reviewing and I like to share my first review on this exclusive promotional polybag. It is only made available in this latest LEGO Marvel Avengers videogame. I managed to get this at a reasonable price yesterday in secondary market since I do not own any video console. It turn out to be unexpectedly appealing, similar to this Iron Patriot polybag which I have reviewed before. On another note, I like to apologies if these images are a little different as I am experimenting with another digital camera. I hope you will enjoy viewing this comprehensive review.

Year: 2016

Pieces: 12

Minifigs: 1 minifigure

Price: USD N.A, GBP N.A, EURO N.A, SGD N.A

Let's welcome the latest state-of-the-art Iron Man suit

I believed this is the 13th Iron Man variants which has been designed and released since 2012. It is appealing to see different type of Iron Man suits which are designed by Tony Stark. The different Iron Man suits are upgraded for improvements from each release, while some of the Iron Man suits are meant for specialised warfare. This is an enhanced energy suit and is coded as 'Mark 33' or commonly known as 'Silver Centurion' to some. It has briefly appeared in Iron Man 3 movie when Tony Stark ordered J.A.R.V.I.S. to initiate the "House Party Protocol", in which it was activated along with all the other suits to aid Tony in his battle against Aldrich Killian.

The LEGO building content

The polybag contain a mere 12 parts and all of the content are meant to assemble the Silver Centurion. There is no need for an instruction manual to get this minifigure ready for combat.

The completed built of Silver Centurion

This is truly an outstanding design feat. I enjoy the pure fact that there are detailed printing all over his body which is visible from the front view, side view and back view without the armour. With such a highly detailed minifigure, it is alright not to put the protective armour on. However, the protective armour is equally impressive. It come with unique printed tiles which is placed at the front and back of the protective armour. I am applaud by the fact that Tony Stark also come in two different facial appearances. The battle mode is awesome with the lens, while the other showed his confident looks.

Some different Iron Man designs

Fighting with Hydra Soldiers

Marvel Superheroes Assemble

To conclude, this is an outstanding polybag. I have no complaints at all. It is perfect as it have special all-rounded printed design, accompanied with unique printed tiles plus is an iconic superhero minifigure. If I really need to nitpick, it will probably be the exclusivity promotional inclusion surrounded in this polybag. I will think this is a must-to-have for LEGO Superheroes fans especially Iron Man collectors. If you are able to get it at a reasonable price, do get it. I promise you won't regret it.

Summary review

Playability: 9/10 (One more Iron Man suit to add into my Iron Legion.)

Design: 10/10 (Outstanding print, totally no complaint.)

Price: 7/10 (If you get it as part of the promotional deal, I will said is worth to get it. As for secondary market price, it really depends on how much your wallet can spare for it as it doesn't come too affordable.)

Overall: 8.7/10 (I am extremely pleased to own this and as a LEGO Superhero fan, you just can't miss this.)

I gave it a "5" based on my Review Score Card. What about yours?

I hope every one of you enjoyed reading this simple review of mine. Comments and Criticisms are strongly welcomed.

Haha, its a black eye! I just caught that!

Great review, I need to get one of these myself.

Thanks guys, but my first impression that it was some sort of scope. Guess I am so deeply mistaken.

I think it can be both, it all depends what you need in that moment xd

Definitely the most detailed superhero fig yet! It's rivaled only the new Green Goblin, for me.

I absolutely love this figure, but all the GameStops near me ran out in the first few hours and the aftermarket prices are crazy.

EDIT: Just a heads up WhiteFang, your Bricklink link leads to the Admiral Yularen polybag, not this one.

Great review and pics. As mentioned it'd be nice to find this in the wild at retail, but I'm not a completist and guess that at some point Lego might churn out something similar enough.

[WhiteFang]

Thank you. I have amended the BL link.

I like this new Tony's face.

And chest and back plates erase the impression of the "big head", which all the previous Iron Man minifigures have.

Thanks for the review!

I want this so bad! As a classic Iron Msn fan the SC armor is too cool to not have! (Sob)

Don't the aftermarket prices on something like this typically drop after time? It seems the opposite with this one. I probably should have grabbed it for $25 when I had the (multiple) chance(s).

Look at Iron Patriot polybag(30168) it keeps the price and it was released in 2013, so don´t expect this become cheaper
