With just one trailer Thor: Ragnarok already looks to be one of Marvel’s more interesting endeavors. The third solo outing for the Asgardian hero looks to change things up, but for fans eager to see more from the film…there’s been little to see. Thankfully, LEGO is here to help out and has given us an official look at a pair of upcoming building sets based off the upcoming film.
First up is The Ultimate Battle for Asgard, which looks to let players take on the villainous Hela with a swanky spaceship to go along with it:
