The Wall Street Journal, of all places, has the exclusive on Lego’s latest Marvel-themed set, and it is quite ludicrous. At just under 3,000 pieces, including five minifigs and 12 microfigs, the Avengers Helicarrier is in its own class of gargantuan. Though the Wall Street Journal got too see it first, Lego is officially unveiling the thing at February’s New York Toy Fair. Luckily for us, the internet doesn’t have an embargo on pictures.

You’ll notice all the goodies in the feature image. In addition to the behemoth itself, two Quinjets, three normal jets, a bunch of on-board accessories and a stand for the five minifig S.H.I.E.L.D. members round out the package.

The whole thing will cost $350 when it comes out in March.
