Most Lego sets stay on store shelves for a year or two at most before being moved on and retired, making way for new sets. Lego Marvel Infinity Gauntlet bucks that trend: It’s been around for four years now, first released in 2021, and it’s still going strong. That alone speaks of the strength of this set: It’s clearly been very popular with Marvel fans, and it’s not hard to see why. Gold bricks tend to be rather elusive in Lego sets, but here, the gauntlet is awash with them. Besides, is there anything as iconic as the Infinity Gauntlet when it comes to Marvel?
There’s a lot to like about the set too: The range of movement in the fingers is seriously impressive, and — if Thanos was normal-person-sized — it’s practically life-size. It’s almost a shame it’s not hollow so we could slip our own hands inside.
This 18+ set is designed to be a display piece, although it’s impossible to resist arranging the fingers in a number of gestures — we wouldn’t dare suggest you do anything rude with them! The only real negative we can levy at the Infinity Gauntlet, however, is its price: $79.99 for a 590-piece set feels very expensive.
Is it worth it? Well, that’s up to you, really: Read on to see what we think, and whether or not the Infinity Gauntlet is worth a place in our list of the best Lego Marvel sets.

Those gold bricks alone are probably enough for some Lego collectors to pick up the Lego Marvel Infinity Gauntlet. After all, these rare-ish pieces are highly sought-after, and for amateur Lego designers, buying this set is probably the best way to get their hands on so much gold.
But piece value aside, there’s a lot to love about the Infinity Gauntlet. This is a straightforward but fun build, with its pieces spread across three bags. It’ll take roughly…
