Buying guide

How to collect Iron Man

Spend in this order and you'll never regret a purchase.

Start with one great comic

If you own nothing yet, buy a single self-contained Iron Man volume before any figure or LEGO set.

Then add one display piece

A 6-7 inch figure is the best value first collectible — statues make more sense once you have shelf space sorted.

Buy LEGO on sale, not at launch

Superhero LEGO discounts around 20% a few months after release, unless it's a retiring set.

Watch for limited runs

Premium Iron Man statues and steelbooks are produced once. If it's numbered, waiting usually costs more.
