Save 43% Off the Massive 4,049-Piece LEGO Marvel Hulkbuster During the Walmart Black Friday Sale

The Marvel Hulkbuster 76210 is modeled after the Hulkbuster that Iron Man uses against the Hulk from Avengers: Age of Ultron. This set is almost always on sale at a pretty hefty discount (although not as low as this deal). To put it honestly, the Hulkbuster in its stock form isn't a very faithful representation of the Hulkbuster from the movie. The biggest culprit is the ungainly proportion; the Hulkbuster's torso looks comically oversized compared to its tiny head and spindly arms because the designers wanted enough space to fit the Iron Man 76206 figure inside (which isn't included and is a retired set that can't be purchased anymore). The arms don't articulate very well and has very limited poseability options. The legs are too unwieldy to properly support the top-heavy torso so the finished structure feels more wobbly than it should. For a very pricey $550 set, the problems are hard to overlook.

Fortunately, There's an Awesome MOC Solution

"MOC" stands for "my original creation". MOCs are fan-made LEGO blueprints that are often better than the originals. Designer Ransom_Fern has created one MOC that is an excellent revision of the Hulkbuster 76210 and uses the same LEGO pieces that come with the set. The alt build is a more faithful and structurally sound design than the original Hulkbuster. The torso is much more accurately proportioned, the head isn't as recessed, the arms and legs look more imposing, and the finished build is more stable. Rebrickables sells the PDF build instructions for $20 but this is absolutely worth getting if you decide to go ahead with the Hulkbuster build.

Note that with this MOC build, you can no longer fit the Iron Man 76206 figure inside. That shouldn't matter to most of you since it is nearly impossible to get one. You can, however, easily fit the Tony Start minifig that's included in the box.
