The Gift Everyone's Talking About: Hulk vs. Red Hulk
Forget the usual single foil-pack minifigure. LEGO Super Hero Legends magazine issue 35 ships with something bigger: a Hulk-themed Limited Edition Collector's Tin holding two minifigures at once. Inside, a classic green Hulk stands shoulder to shoulder with Red Hulk, a variant that has appeared in exactly one other LEGO set to date. That scarcity alone makes this issue one of the more sought-after Avengers-numbered releases in the Super Hero Legends line, and a big step up from the standard single-figure foil pack most issues include.
Both minifigures come with double-sided heads — an angry battle expression on one side, a calmer alternate face on the other — a small but thoughtful touch for anyone who poses minifigures for photos or dioramas rather than just building with them.

What's in the Rest of the Issue
The Collector's Tin gets top billing, but this issue doesn't skimp on the magazine itself. The comic brings together four fan-favorite Avengers characters for a team-up story, with a Batman appearance worked in for good measure — a nice crossover touch for kids who collect across both the Avengers and Batman sides of the Super Hero Legends range. Round that out with the usual mix of puzzles, activities, and posters, and you've got a genuinely full issue rather than a magazine that exists purely to deliver the toy.
It's the same formula that's made LEGO magazines popular with Marvel fans for years: a real comic story, brain-teasing activities, and a toy that extends the fun past the last page.
Why This One Belongs in a Collection, Not Just a Toy Box
Here's the buyer's-guide angle other roundups tend to skip: it's not just the Red Hulk's rarity that makes LEGO Super Hero Legends magazine issue 35 worth grabbing, it's the tin itself. Collector's Tins have become one of the more chased formats across the whole LEGO magazine range, precisely because they hold up better than a standard foil pack over time. No crushed cardboard, no bent corners — just a sealed metal case that looks intentional sitting on a shelf next to the rest of a Marvel collection.
If you're building out a Super Hero Legends set piece by piece, an issue that pairs a genuinely rare minifigure with display-ready packaging is worth prioritizing over one that's just another Avengers issue. It's also a strong entry point if you're new to the line. Because Super Hero Legends alternates its numbering and themes month to month between Avengers and Batman storylines, jumping in on a strong Avengers-numbered issue like this one gives new collectors a clear anchor point before working backward or forward through the catalog.
Where to Find It
Since these magazines are printed for the UK market only, tracking down LEGO Super Hero Legends magazine issue 35 from outside the UK means going through an importer or subscription service rather than a local newsstand. Our Super Hero Legends magazine guide covers exactly how the line's numbering and alternating themes work if you want the full picture, and our LEGO Marvel collection is a good place to browse related minifigures and sets while you wait for the next issue to land.
