LEGO Shield Helicarrier

Avengers, assemble! We’re going to need your help building the new S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier set from Lego. It’s been the rumored for months, and now it’s finally been revealed.

The Helicarrier is positively enormous. It measures nearly three feet long, 17 inches wide, and is almost a foot high at its highest point. Even though that already makes it one of the most massive Lego sets ever released, they managed to make it look even larger than it really is.

Tiny Quinjets, fighter jets, forklifts and a slew of microfigs — including Nick Fury, Captain America, Iron Man, and Hawkeye —  help complete the illusion. Not that the Helicarrier needs any help. The 2,996 piece set will likely dwarf any other Lego sets you have in your collection.

AMC & Regal have a Marvel Plan

Marvel released the third trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron this morning, and if you haven't seen it yet, get on that immediately because it is magnificent. May 1st still seems so far away, but the theater owners at AMC and Regal are planning something special to take the sting out of the long wait for Marvel fans. ComingSoon reports that the theater chains are planning The Ultimate Marvel Movie Marathon leading up to the release of Age of Ultron, and there are so many Marvel Studios movies now that this event will last longer than a day - the whole thing will span more than 27 hours.
The event begins on April 29th, 2015, and concludes on April 30th with a screening of Avengers: Age of Ultron. Here's the full breakdown:

         6:00pm IRON MAN

8:25pm THE INCREDIBLE HULK

10:35pm IRON MAN 2

1:00am THOR

3:10am CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER

5:30am THE AVENGERS

8:48am IRON MAN 3

11:15am THOR: THE DARK WORLD

1:45pm CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER

4:20pm GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

7:00pm AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON (RealD® 3D)

I imagine my brain would start to melt somewhere around the time Thor: The Dark World started, so that would be prime nap time for me if I participate in this madness. Tickets are available through AMC and Regal's websites, and if you aren't feeling up to the challenge of watching all eleven movies in a row, AMC, Regal, and Cinemark will have the option to just watch The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron back-to-back.
