One of the best parts of all this Avengers hype is seeing the cool things fans put together as a tribute to their favorite superheroes. We have Ken Robichaud, Avengers fan and Lego enthusiast, to thank for these fabulous recreations of their iconic weapons. These are 1:1 scale, so you can actually wield Thor’s hammer without being Thor. Just don’t smash stuff with it because you’ll have a Lego catastrophe all over the floor.

With the release of these new Avengers flash drives, we now know that the power of Thor’s hammer, Captain America’s shield, Iron Man’s helmet, and the Hulk’s disembodied fist translate to 8GB of file storage apiece. Although the drives look cool and offer retractable USB connectors, many will be disappointed to learn that no Hawkeye or Black Widow designs are currently available… C’est la vie.
