LEGO Super Hero Legends Magazine Issue 36: Iron Patriot Plus a Bonus Gift

Picture the moment you slide a fresh Avengers issue out of the newsagent rack: the cover is loud, there is a sealed gift taped to the front, and somewhere under the plastic is a second surprise you were not promised in detail. That is the pitch of LEGO Super Hero Legends magazine issue 36, and it is why this one deserves a slower look than most.

What You Find When You Open It Up

Like every Avengers-themed issue from Immediate Media, this is a UK retail exclusive built around a comic-led magazine experience: stories, posters, stickers and activity pages designed for Marvel fans of all ages. Issue 36 is listed as an Avengers issue and sold with two LEGO toys rather than the usual single pack, which is the first thing to note. It is also worth saying plainly that we are describing the headline details from the issue listing; always check the cover of the copy you receive for the full contents.

The Iron Patriot Deep Dive

The named gift is The Iron Patriot, the red, white and blue armoured take on Marvel's War Machine look. For collectors, an Iron Patriot figure matters because it fills a gap between the Iron Man armours most people already own and the wider Avengers cast. If you display your Marvel minifigures by character group, this slots in beside your Iron Man and War Machine figures without duplicating either.

The Bonus Gift Question

The listing also promises a bonus gift on top of The Iron Patriot, without spelling out what it is. That uncertainty is part of the appeal: two-gift issues tend to be the ones collectors circle back to, because a magazine that carries more than one LEGO item gives you more to display, trade or build with from a single issue. If you like knowing exactly what you are getting, this is a good reason to see the issue in hand before deciding how many copies you want.

A Practical Collecting Tip

Because these magazines are UK-only retail exclusives, availability outside Britain depends on import stock, and back issues do not hang around forever. If you collect the Avengers run, the sensible approach is to track which issues you are missing and pick up the multi-gift ones first. You can browse the wider LEGO magazines collection to see what else is in stock, explore our LEGO Marvel range to pair a figure with a set, or read our guide to the LEGO Super Hero Legends magazine for how the line works.

Is Issue 36 Worth Adding?

If you collect Marvel minifigures, enjoy comic-style magazines, or simply like the idea of an Iron Patriot with a surprise companion, LEGO Super Hero Legends magazine issue 36 is an easy yes. It is not a brand-new release, so think of it as a spotlight on an Avengers issue that is still worth tracking down rather than breaking news. For a collector building out the Avengers shelf, it is a strong, low-risk pickup.
