There are certainly things to like about Avengers: Age of Ultron. There are certainly things that are… less likely for you to like, that have certainly aged in the last nine years. But one thing that will be forever burned in the minds of Marvel fans? That slow-mo shot from the opening as the assembled Avengers leap into action against Hydra.

Dumb as rocks if you think about it a little too long? Absolutely. Cheesy? Of course, it’s superheroes. Cool as hell? Definitely. Also, now a Lego set!

It’s a very smart move by Lego, in the vein of the diorama series it’s developed in the last few years for the Star Wars line—less of a playset, although of course it can be that, and more of a way to build displayable snapshot of an iconic Avengers moment. The Avengers Assemble: Age of Ultron leads Lego’s wave of Marvel sets for this summer, including a bunch more sets inspired by the first Avengers film, Thor: Ragnarok, and Guardians of the Galaxy. While Ultron is definitely the most fun idea of them all, there’s definitely a few cool sets.

Click through to see plenty more pictures of them all, ahead of their release on August 1.
