Nerdage gift guide: Marvel’s The Avengers S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier

Today’s Nerdage gift guide recommendation will allow you to re-enact some key scenes from “Marvel’s The Avengers.”  The S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier from Hasbro has a suggested retail price of $69.99 and is recommended for ages 4 and up.

Here’s Hasbro’s description:

Earth’s Mightiest Heroes need Earth’s most amazing vehicle! Straight out of the  … MARVEL film THE AVENGERS, this mobile battle station features launching projectiles and an incredible scale—at more than 3 feet long, it’s the largest MARVEL vehicle ever created by Hasbro, with space for more than 30 3.75”MARVEL action figures! (Figures sold separately.)

The boxed version of the Helicarrier includes a Captain America figure and five firing missiles.  This would have been a huge hit under the Christmas tree in my younger days (and heck, probably would still be).
