Do Not Throw Lego’s $200 Captain America Shield at Bad Guys, It Will Not Bounce

Building something perfectly pear-shaped using Lego brick is a undertaking seemingly as impossible as drawing a everlasting circle with an Etch A Sketch . And yet , Lego ’s designers have somehow managed to engineer abrilliant replica of Captain America ’s shieldand while it ’s not exactly life - size , it still measures in at an telling 18 - inches across .

The set weighs in at a beefy 3,128 pieces , and while the remainder effect looks like a wondrous cosplay appurtenance , unless you ’re build it with a tube-shaped structure of Kragle in hand , the last thing you ’ll want to do is seek to give this thing like a frisbee . Unlike Captain America ’s cuticle , which is made from a nigh undestroyable Vibranium - metal alloy , this shield is an all fictile affair and will make out asunder on shock faster than wet Kleenex . Lego has n’t provide any persona of the back of the shield , but we ’re assuming it deliberately does n’t come with a way to flog it to your arm .

This is also one of those sets that count like the anatomy process is going to be a bit of a mind - benumb battle of Marathon , with lots and lots of insistent section , both front and back . The goal result looks neat , but you might not enjoy the journey as much for this one .

The cuticle also comes with a buildable show groundwork that keeps it shore up , including a nameplate , and a Captain America minifigure wielding their own tiny shield , and a miniature replica of Thor ’s hammer , Mjölnir .

The Lego Captain America ’s Shield wo n’t formally slay storage shelves or ship out until August 1 , but it ’s currentlyavailable for pre - orderthrough Lego ’s web site for $ 200 .
