The Best LEGO Christmas Gift Ideas for a Marvel Fan

16th September 2022

LEGO has a long relationship with the Marvel franchise and has been producing building sets based on its movies since 2002. This has allowed fans to side with their favourite superhero (or supervillain!) and recreate famous movie scenes or embark on their own epic adventures. For older or more skilled builders there are advanced models to construct iconic characters, vehicles, buildings, gadgets, and weapons from the franchise. From kids to adult collectors, LEGO offers something for everyone with a love of Marvel.

LEGO continues to produce plenty of new high-quality Marvel sets every year that make for excellent gifts. So if you're searching for the perfect present to light up someone's Christmas (or any other special occasion), look no further, as we provide a list of the best adult and child Marvel-inspired gifts to suit a range of budgets. Building a set can also be a great family activity for the big day, or the holiday period that follows.

Gifts under £20 / $20

Spider-Man Keyring (853950)

£4.99 / $5.99 / €4.99

LEGO sells a range of keychains featuring characters from popular Marvel movies, such as The Avengers, Captain Marvel, and Venom. This one of Spider-Man, who is one of the most recognisable and loved Marvel characters, has nice vivid colouring and detailed printing and would make for a great stocking filler.

Wolverine Mech Armour (76202)

£8.99 / $9.99 / €9.99

The first X-Men movie was released way back in 2000, and it's a franchise that many older Marvel fans grew up with. Wolverine is the most famous and popular of all the mutants, such that he was given his own spin-off trilogy. Surprisingly there have been very few LEGO sets over the years depicting him or any other X-Men, so this set is not one to be missed, as it may be the once chance to buy a Wolverine minifigure for a while! The mech-type builds are great for kids too as they allow epic battles to be waged between hero and villain.

Gifts under £50 / $50

Spider-Man at the Sanctum Workshop (76185)

£34.99 / $39.99 / €39.99

Spider-Man: No Way Home was a roaring success at the box office and received rave reviews from Spider-Man and Marvel fans. This set features the heroic trio of Spider-Man, MJ, and Ned, as well as Doctor Strange. The main build is a recreation of the Doctor’s Sanctum Workshop and is packed full of play features and great accessories that will give kids hours of fun. The model also looks very nice on display so would also be a good gift for teenage and adult Spider-Man enthusiasts.

Iron Man: Iron Monger Mayhem (76190)

£34.99 / $39.99 / €39.99

The first Iron Man film was a hit amongst both adults and children and breathed fresh life into the Marvel movie world. This set is based on the final scenes where Jeff Bridge’s character, Obadiah Stane, attacks Iron Man in a giant suit of armour. This set features a cool recreation of the Iron Monger mechanism and allows the epic duel between the two of them to be re-enacted. It also has nice minifigures of Stane, Iron Man, and Pepper Pots.

Gifts under £100 / $100

The Goat Boat (76208)

£54.99 / $59.99 / €59.99

The Goat Boat is based on one of Marvel Studio's most recent movies, Thor: Love and Thunder. This set features a beautifully shaped viking ship, which has a good deal of historical realism to it. The colours used also make this an attractive model to look at if it’s placed on display. For a set of this price, the build is surprisingly large, with a deck big enough to comfortably house the interesting selection of minifigures, that will appeal to both adult collectors and kids. The eccentric and fun nature of this set make it great for playing with and will allow kids' imaginations to run wild.

Infinity Gauntlet (76191)

£79.99 / $79.99 / €79.99

LEGO has released a series of sets recently based on artifacts and weaponry from the Marvel franchise that are aimed at the adult market. The Infinity Gauntlet is one of these and depicts the powerful glove worn by Thanos in Avengers movie trilogy. LEGO have done an excellent job recreating the legendary gauntlet and the gold colour scheme really makes it standout. It’s also a very convenient size for display, measuring in at 31cm tall. Building the Infinity Gauntlet is also enjoyable as there are plenty of interesting construction techniques.

Gifts over £100 / $100

The Guardians' Ship (76193)

£139.99 / $159.99 / €149.99

The Guardians' Ship is one of my favourite Marvel LEGO sets to come out in recent years. The model is an amazing replica of the Benatar that is packed full of accurate details. The unique shape and colour scheme make for a very distinctive and eye-catching display piece. As a play set, it also performs well as it has lots of movable parts and is easy for kids to pick up and swoosh around. The six minifigures also looks fantastic, with the fan favourite Groot being especially good. The RRP represents very good value as the set has nearly 2,000 pieces, but this set is frequently discounted at other retailers, such as John Lewis, which makes it an even better buy.

Daily Bugle (76178)

£299.99 / $349.99 / €299.99

If you've got a big budget and are looking to give someone a very special gift then look no further than the Daily Bugle set. This is one of the best Marvel sets LEGO have ever released and it has proved to be highly popular. The size of the model is very impressive, as are all the authentic details and movie references waiting to be discovered. The Daily Bugle currently holds the record for the most minifigures in a single set, with 25 in total. This allows Marvel fans to recreate classic battles or stage their own matchups. It's all possible in this set! As both a display model and a play set, the Daily Bugle is very hard to beat.
