Which characters will I need to collect all the Gold Bricks, Minikits, Character Tokens and so on?

Play the Story Mode through to the end of the game (go ahead and skip Lack of Insight, Ready A.I.M Fire, and Lost in The Aether and you'll find yourself on the SHIELD Helicarrier after the credits are done rolling. At this point, you have every Character you need (don't forget to actually purchase Loki so you can use his ice beam) except one that can dig and wouldn't you know it, there's one on the Helicarrier!

Take the elevator from the flight deck down to the Control Room. Take the exit on the left side of the room. Walk down the hallway and enter the first door on your left (the Laboratory). Talk to the scientist in the room and complete her quest to earn the Character Token for Iron Man (MK25) (Click here for details on the quest). Purchase him for the low price of 25,000 studs and you have every character you need to collect every goody in Free Play mode.

Which characters are in the game/how do I unlock this specific character?

Check out this page for a full list of Characters and how to unlock them.

Where the heck is the Hulkbuster armor?

For some reason, the Hulkbuster armor is not available on the main Character Select screen. Instead, you have to select it from Tony Stark's Iron Man Suit Select screen seen below. Once you've unlocked the Hulkbuster (simply complete Anger Management in Story Mode), switch to Tony Stark or any Iron Man suit and pull up the Character Select screen. The below will pop up instead. That's where you'll find the Hulkbuster armor.

ARRRGGGGHHH!!! How do I pull the switch in the pic below?

Hulk and other radioactive brutes can wade through the toxic goo but they're too large to pull the switch. So which small characters can wade through the green sludge?

Ultron.

There are a few others but Ultron is the one you'll definitely have if you've completed Story Mode.

Where do I purchase Characters and Vehicles I've unlocked?

When you're in Manhattan or one of the Hub Areas, simply hold down the Switch Characters Button to bring up the Character Select screen. From here, you can purchase any character you've found a Character Token for.

Vehicles can be purchased from the Vehicle Call Pads located around Manhattan and the Hub Areas. The blue pads are for land vehicles, the red are for flying vehicles. Keep in mind that the Hub Areas limit with vehicles you can access so if you're shopping, make sure you do it from a Call Pad in Manhattan.

I don't have 100% completion yet! What am I missing and where is it?

Pause the game and you'll see a screen showing off how many Gold Bricks, Character Tokens and everything else you've collected in the game. Click the Area Totals Button (upper left corner of the screen) to get totals for the area you're currently in.

You can also travel to space (from the menu) and see the totals for each Story Chapter and Hub Area.

Additionally, in Manhattan and the Hub Areas, a radar in the corner of the screen will point out collectibles. Purple dots are Character/Vehicle Tokens, gold dots are Gold Bricks, orange dots are Stan Lee in Peril and blue dots are Vehicle Call Pads.

Do I have to complete a level in Free Play to keep the Minikits and stuff I've found? Nope! Feel free to Save and Exit a level at anytime. Every doodad you've collected will be saved.

Where are the Red Bricks? Which should I purchase first?

You can find a list of Red Bricks and how to unlock them by visiting this page.

We recommend you start with the Studs x2 Red Brick which you'll find in Struck Off The List in Free Play. This will make it easier to get True Avenger status on each level and purchase all the characters, vehicles and cheats. It costs a million Studs but if you're frugal, you should have it halfway through the main campaign.

The Gold Brick, Minikit, Quest, and Stan Lee in Peril detectors are pretty handy too.

So what happens when you 100 percent the game?

Nothing! Absolutely nothing!
