TIME TO BUILD
How long does it take to build Thanos Mech Armour?
A starting point for planning your build. Times for each experience level are editorial estimates, not measurements submitted by HowLongToBuild users.
Editorial estimate · first build
Intermediate
≈ 40 minSuggested range24 min – 1 h 4 minExperienced
≈ 28 minSuggested range16 min – 45 minBased on one person building the set for the first time, following the original instructions and using numbered bags where supplied. Includes normal piece-finding and minor adjustments; excludes long breaks, filming, dismantling and modifications. Sources may use different methods. This range is neither a statistical interval nor a limit: your build may take less or more time.
How we estimate times · sources and method
Editorial assessment: Thanos pilots a purple and gold mech with a large blade and gauntlet details. The blade attaches to a separately completed arm. A first build following the instructions, including normal piece finding; an adult may help when needed. Breaks, subsequent play and any alternative models are excluded. For older sets, unnumbered bags or previously mixed pieces may prolong sorting. No verified timed build: indicative values with substantial variation.
Sources do not always specify the builder’s experience. The three experience bands are our editorial assessment, based on the complexity of the set and individual accounts where available.

The team first came together against Loki
The Avengers made their comic-book debut in 1963. Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Ant-Man and Wasp joined forces against Loki, a different line-up from the one many people remember from the films.
MarvelCaptain America arrived in issue four
Steve Rogers wasn’t part of the first issue’s team. His return from the ice came in Avengers #4, bringing back the character who would become one of its defining figures.
