This detailed and very cool looking Lego Marvel Rocket & Baby Groot set has to be one of the best Lego Marvel sets available, and a great addition to any fan of the franchises Lego collection.
Aimed at 10+ builders and collectors, the Lego Marvel Rocket & Baby Groot set (76282) set looks great as a display item and for general play too, thanks to Rocket’s moveable limbs.
Save 20% on the Lego Marvel Rocket & Baby Groot set — was $59.99, now $47.99 at Amazon.
The 566-piece model stands at over 8.5 inches tall and is a fantastic recreation of one of the most loved Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy characters, voiced by Bradley Cooper in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and appearing in six MCU movies.
The Lego Marvel Rocket & Baby Groot set sits at a price point that’s somewhere between being a pocket-money build and a more expensive adult set. Right now, it’s just $47.99, which we think offers great value, particularly for a set that’s so enjoyable to build.
It’s aimed at older kids (10+) and with just 566 pieces, experienced Lego fans won’t find it an overly complex build either, with the instructions being relatively easy to follow. That said, it does have some fiddly sections, thanks to Rocket’s posable limbs, so for some, Rocket will pose a challenge. So we wouldn’t recommend this set for complete novice Lego builders.
There’s only one minifigure included here — a Baby Groot, and it has sit a dedicated space on Rocket’s shoulder. We’d have liked to see a Rocket minifigure for display purposes too, but it’s certainly not a dealbreaker.
Key Specs: 8.5 Inches (Height). Total number of Lego pieces — 566. The model comes with incredible details and 2 Guardians of the Galaxy: Rocket, holding a spring shooter and a blaster, and a Baby Groot minifigure that attaches to Rocket’s shoulder.
