Whosoever assembles this LEGO, if they be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor. Or at the very least, a very cool LEGO version of Mjolnir.
According to a new report from Collider, LEGO is releasing a special collector’s set featuring the mighty hammer of Thor.
Priced at $99.99, this is the latest in a line of Marvel Cinematic Universe-inspired LEGO sets. Thor’s Hammer (Item# 76209) is a 979 piece set that contains the mighty Mjolnir as well as a secure display stand with an information plate. A minifigure of Thor with Mjolnir and three minisets that celebrate Thor-related moments from the MCU is also included in the set.

The minisets are the fake Infinity Gauntlet that was in Odin’s trophy room, the Tesseract, and the Odin Fire from Thor: Ragnarok.
If you don’t want Loki getting his hands on the Tesseract that comes with the set (and really, who could blame you for not wanting that?), there is a secret storage compartment for all of the unique treasures that come with the hammer.
You can preorder the hammer at LEGO’s website, and they are anticipating it will ship out March 1st.
Mjolnir Will Return in Thor: Love and Thunder
Mjolnir is, of course, Thor’s trusty and mighty hammer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Based on the Norse mythology, Thor’s hammer helps him channel his thunder and lightning control. We have seen Thor use Mjolnir since he first appeared in the first Thor movie. And we will see Mjolnir again in the upcoming film, Thor: Love and Thunder.
The fourth movie in the Thor franchise stars Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, who will become Thor during the film. From the way it sounds, two Thors will be exactly what is needed in order to stop the newest threat to the universe.
Taika Waititi directs the new film on a script he co-wrote with Jennifer Kaytin Robinson. The story is based on the famous “The Mighty Thor” storyline from Jason Aaron where Jane Foster picked up Mjolnir and became the Mighty Thor after Thor Odinsson was found to be unworthy to wield the mighty weapon.
Co-starring with Hemsworth and Portman in the new Thor movie will be Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie, the return of Jamie Alexander’s Sif and Guardians of the Galaxy veterans Chris Pratt (Peter Quill/Star Lord), Dave Bautista (Drax the Destroyer), Pom Klementieff (Mantis) and Karen Gillan (Nebula). The heroes will be facing off against Gorr the God Butcher, played by Christian Bale. Gorr, a character capable of killing Asgardians easily, will be a problematic villain to overcome, and it will be interesting to see how the heroes work together to overcome him.
Hemsworth’s Thor is also expected to appear in the final Guardians of the Galaxy film, although that is far from confirmed.
Thor: Love and Thunder will premiere in theaters on July 8th. Meanwhile, LEGO will be shipping out the LEGO Mjolnir sets starting March 1.
