The very best thing about a new Marvel movie is the LEGO sets that come with them. It means you can continue the action when you’ve finished watching the film. Guardians of the Galaxy will be no different, and we can now finally see the LEGO sets that will launch in the summer. First up is Starblaster Showdown, which includes Star-Lord’s Starblaster fighter ship and the Sakaaran’s Necrocraft. These are smaller ships, a bit like Guardians of the Galaxy’s version of X-Wing and TIE Fighter ships. They come in a set with three figures: the Sakaaran, Star-Lord, and a Nova officer. Knowhere Escape Mission will recreate an amazing scene from the film where the Guardians need to break out of a secure place. This kit is special because it’s where you’ll find Groot: the walking, talking tree member of the team. Because he’s so tall in the film, he’s not a minifig. Instead he’s a big, posable figure. He comes along with Rocket Racoon, the Sakaaran, and Nebula: the twin-sword swinging bad girl from the film.
And of course there are some machines for you to build: a huge bazooka turret and a mining pod. The Milano Spaceship Rescue is the biggest kit, and includes Star-Lord’s amazing ship The Milano. A huge blue and yellow ray-shaped machine, it’s piloted by Drax and Gamora minifigs and can fire studs and missiles. They’ll need them too, because big bad guy Ronan will be chasing them in his own Necrocraft. The set also includes a Star-Lord figure and the Sakaaran. If you’re more into X-Men, there’s also a new mutant-themed kit coming this summer. Inspired by the new X-Men Days of Future Past film, the kit includes a massive Sentinel figure, as well as the X-Men’s Blackbird jet. There’s also some minifigs in there too: Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, and Magneto. There’s no release date for these kits yet, but expect to see them in the summer months around the time when the films are released.

Catalogue Number : F4983Genre : ComicsManufacturer : LegoMaterial : PlasticPackaging : BoxedSeries : Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2Type : Lego This product was added to our catalog on Friday 24 February, 2017.Just as I was literally packing my bags this morning for New York Toy Fair 2017 (which I’ll be on-hand for Saturday and posting thousands of photos from over the next few weeks), TLG went and hit me up with a little surprise–that’s going to cost many of us a lot of money! Though they’ve long been rumored for a March 1st 2017 release date, it turns out that all of the Winter 2017 LEGO Marvel sets are now up for order and shipping tomorrow–including the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 sets, the Coulson & Lola set and more!
There’s one more 2017 LEGO Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy 2 movie set to talk about, and it’s likely to be the best-selling set from the sub-theme for a variety of reasons! It’s small, it’s cheap, it’s got two brand new characters as unique minifigures… and it’s the only LEGO Marvel 2017 set with the new Rocket Raccoon minifigure! Coming to stores later this winter in advance of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in theaters, it’s the LEGO Ravager Attack 76079 set! Earlier I discussed the biggest of the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 sets–the Milano vs. The Abilisk 76081–over on Marvel Toy News. But don’t worry–I saved the other new sets to discuss here! And of the two smaller LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy 2 sets, the one I think is more likely to generate a bit of buzz is the 76080 Ayesha’s Revenge set, with the first-ever LEGO Yondu minifigure! 2017 has finally arrived, bringing with it the much-anticipated Assembly Square Modular Building and dozens of other new sets!
But all that’s old news now, and it’s time to look ahead to what’s going to be one of the biggest months ever for TLG! Along with 100+ new sets being revealed at the New York Toy Fair 2017, the LEGO Batman Movie will finally hit theaters–and the February 2017 LEGO Store Calendar is filled with free promo polybags and posters to celebrate… While sets in the new LEGO DC Superhero Girls theme have only been available for a month, the line seems to be off to a hot start sales-wise. And this winter, TLG has now released a polybag that’s likely to appeal even to collectors who aren’t crazy about minidolls. This polybag will be available as a free promo from the LEGO Store next month, but if you just can’t wait (like me!), the LEGO Krypto Saves The Day 30546 polybag set has now been released for sale at Toys R Us! Sometimes TLG manages to strike like a ninja with brand-new, never-before-seen polybags appearing in the holiday section at Target stores like magic. And sometimes… not so much.
The polybag set we’ll be discussing today is the latter. We’re getting a veritable army of Batman Minifigures this winter in honor of The LEGO Batman Movie, and we can now add another onto the list of officially released ones: the LEGO Batman in the Phantom Zone polybag has now been released! In 2015, TLG made AFOLs the world over fall in love with an upgraded version of their Seasonal sets with a series of beloved holiday vignettes. 2016 was a disappointment to fans who loved the vignettes, as the “brick-built creature” seasonal sets returned. But collectors are going to be happy in 2017–LEGO Valentine’s Day Picnic 40236 has now been revealed, confirming that the brick-built holiday scenes are coming back! While we’ve already seen quite a few great LEGO Star Wars 2017 sets, ranging from the Clone Wars to Rebels to Rogue One to the prequels, Original Trilogy sets have been conspicuous by their absence… until now! While we’ve seen all of these vehicles before on more than one occasion (and then some), some old favorites are flying back in in all-new builds: the 2017 LEGO Star Wars A-Wing, Desert Skiff and Luke’s Landspeeder have now been revealed!
