6869 Quinjet Aerial Battle is a Marvel Super Heroes set released in April 2012. It consists of a model of the Quinjet, a vehicle used by the Avengers, and a small flying chariot used by Loki. It contains the minifigures Black Widow, Iron Man (Mark 7), Thor, Loki, and an Alien Foot Soldier.

Description

This set includes the Quinjet for The Avengers, piloted by Black Widow, which includes flick fire missles, a mini-jet, and a prison pod. Also included is a chariot for Loki, driven by an Alien Foot Soldier.

The Quinjet

The Quinjet has two large wings with movable wingtips, two large movable jet engines with fins at it's back, and two opening cockpits at it's front, which would appear to be attached onto the rest of the ship, rather than built as part of it. In the middle, there is a cockpit-like prison, and it appears that it can fit about 2-3 minifigures. At the rear is a lowering boarding ramp. The Quinjet also has landing gear.

Flying Chariot

Loki's Flying Chariot consists of two main parts. The first of these is a steering section, in which the Alien Foot Soldier stands, and from which two weapons protrude. The Foot Soldier is partially protected by a shield attached to the section's front, printed with a peculiar design. The Chariot's second section is the passenger section where Loki stands, which appears to be fairly flat.

Background

In The Comics

The Quinjet is a large vehicle, used for transportation by The Avengers. It was initially designed by Black Panther of the Wakanda Design Group.[1]

Comic Adventure

In the adventure, Black Widow, Thor, and Iron Man are aboard the helicarrier and notice an explosion in the distance. Thor and Black Widow fly in the Quinjet with Iron Man flying alongside. they discover Loki on his chariot with a Alien Foot Soldier. A battle between them ensues.

In The Avengers

This set is based on a scene from The Avengers.

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

In the movie, the Quinjet never chases after the chariot. The Quinjet was shot down unintentionally when it got too close to a battle between Loki and Thor. Loki then jumped onto the chariot to escape. A battle to save the world between Loki, his Chituari and the Avengers ensues.

Spoilers end here.
