Accessories
The only two official accessories are the staff carried by Loki and Hawkeye bow. The cosmic cube and Ironman accessories are pretty much a normal bricks.

Minifigs
Everyone is after Ironman minifigs due to the unique helmet and I must admit that the helmet is pretty big. Ironman and Hawkeye torso is printed both side, legs are printed and the head have double expression. Loki on the other hand are just the opposite of the two, except the leg, which are printed too. Loki's helmet are very big too.

SHIELD Off-roader
The vehicle is just like any other vehicle from the City theme except flick fire missile were added on the both side of the off-roader. The off-roader is very nice and on top of that you can get a lot of dark blue parts in it. Also if you notice, I assemble the wheel rim the opposite way instead of following the instruction.

Here's are some of the nice detail at the front of the off-roader, added with bar, round head lamps and cornering lamps or signal light on both side. LEGO tires with the brand printed.

The roof of the off-roader also have parts that signify spot lights (I think) on it while the interior is equipped with a seat, steering and gear. However, the interior is quite small and narrow, fit just right for one minifig.

While on the side of the doors there are clippers ready to snap fit a fire extinguisher and Hawkeye bow. Also at the back of the driver seat there are transparent part that signify glass which is the extra details to make it looks more accurate. But the transparent are too big.

The door can be open and close, and there are design malfunction here whereby the flick-fire missiles is blocking the door from fully open. In this case you have to adjust the missiles or remove it.

While here's the flick-fire missiles that are built near the door on both side of the off-roader.

The last playability of this set, is the catapulting plank at the back of the off-roader. Is optional whether you want to flip Loki of the off-roader or keep him on by just attaching him to the stud.

Extra pieces
There are still quite a number of parts lest after the assembling process.

Completed model
I like the off-roader very much, especially the front part of it. The set also comes with a few new parts and of course dark blue parts. Other than that the off-roader in my opinion is solid and of course nice minifigs. By removing the flick-fire function, this off-roader can fit into your city.

Playability: 6/10 The same bored flick-fire missiles, and catapult plank.
Building experience: 6/10 A good learning to build a good off-roader.
Parts: 8/10 A lot dark blue parts, and new part.
Value for money: 6/10 I would say pricey.
Overall: 6/10 If you can get this at a lower price, get a few sets of this. Is just so nice or have at least one if you have no other option than to buy here.
