Pick Up At Store Add to Wish ListWhile not officially official from Lego, some sets have appeared today from the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2. Finally, the baby Groot Lego mini-figure we have all been waiting for! These sets look pretty sweet, if not a little less challenging than I was hoping for as far as builds are concerned.
First we have Ayesha’s Revenge, which looks to be a couple mini-rig builds and comes with Star Lord, Yondu, Baby Groot, and Ayesha. Pretty deco on the blocks, it should really pop on a shelf. What does she need revenge for? Who knows, but recreate it with Legos and make it up yourself before you see the film! Next up is the Ravenger Attack, which to me is more exciting for the minfigs than the set itself. This one included the Mantis and Taserface figures, with a Rocket thrown in as well. Other than that, its The Ravenger with a tree to build. This has to be the least exciting of the three, so hopefully it is not too expensive for collectors that just want the minifigs. The last, and best set is The Milano V.S. This is a new version of the Milano set from the first film, but also includes the creature we see multiple times in the trailer. The minifig selections here are home runs, as you get Gamora, Star Lord, Drax, Baby Groot, and Nebula. The Abilisk creature looks pretty unique, pink bricks and all.
I get that they make sets for a variety of price points at Lego, but I can’t help but feel that they could have bundled at least Ayesha’s Revenge and The Ravenger attack sets together to get a little more bang for your buck. But I am also not convinced that these are the only three Guardians sets we will get. Hopefully after the film is out, they will surprise us with a couple more.

The new sets featured a few classic characters like Iron Man and the Hulk, plus several new additions to its DC Super Hero Girls collection, like Harley Quinn and Batgirl.
Two new "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" building sets offer a tantalizing glimpse at what's coming in the new Marvel movie this spring. This LEGO "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" building set features Gamora flying the Milano spaceship. It is part of a 460-piece set titled "The Milano vs. The Abilisk" and comes with a buildable Abilisk, an evil, multidimensional space alien with long tentacles that the squad takes on in the upcoming movie. The set will be available in stores in March 2017. With this "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" building set, you can stage a cosmic battle with Star-Lord, Ayesha, Yondu and a baby Groot. Blast the enemies with lasers, missiles or a golden arrow. This action-packed Marvel building set will be available in stores in March. Iron Man's new LEGO kit comes with three minifigures: Invincible Iron Man, Justin Hammer and the first-ever Agent Coulson LEGO character. Detroit Steel, a giant weaponized robot operated by Justin Hammer, comes equipped with a chainsaw on one arm and a six-stud shooter on the other.
Another new Marvel Super Heroes set coming in March is "Hulk vs. the Red Hulk." LEGO also previewed some upcoming additions to its "DC Super Hero Girls" building sets now available include: Lashina Tank, Bumblebee Helicopter, Wonder Woman Dorm Room, Batgirl Batjet, Harley Quinn to the Rescue, and Super Hero High School. LEGO showcased it's newest building sets with many of these female super heroes at Toy Fair. These will be in stores in August 2017. "We are really thrilled to bring to life the combination of teamwork, fun and action-packed missions found in this DC Super Hero Girls universe on our LEGO minidoll platform," Jill Wilfert, vice president licensing and entertainment for the LEGO Group, said in a statement. "The DC Super Hero Girls story translates so well into construction play, inspiring great vehicles and structures with surprising features that, together with the strong characters, provides hours of creative building and role play fun." Wonder Woman, Eclipso and the Flash minifigures are included in the "Eclipso Dark Palace" building set.
The 1,078-piece kit comes with Wonder Woman's invisible jet. Other new DC Super Hero Girls sets to be released in August feature Harley Quinn and Batgirl. or follow her @hannekescience. Follow us @Spacedotcom, Facebook and Google+. The Marvel Cinematic Universe expands this August with the release of James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy. The prospect of a troop of space-bound superheroes on the big screen is exciting but perhaps not as much as new Lego sets gleefully recreating the characters in block form.Wired.co.uk takes a look at the range.The first wave of Guardians Lego consists of three sets. Starblaster Showdown (Kit Ref 76019, £19.99) is the "entry level", comprising two vehicles and three minifigs -- Chris Pratt's Star Lord, bad guy The Sakaaran, and a Nova Corps officer. Knowhere Escape Mission (Kit Ref 76019, £44.99) is likely to be the most popular with kids and fans of the comics alike, as it's the one that comes with Rocket Raccoon, Groot, another Sakaaran and Lego Karen Gillan (aka Nebula).
The Milano Spaceship Rescue (Kit Ref 76019, £69.99) is the pinnacle of the line, a pricey replica of the Guardians' ship, comparable in size to the Quinjet released as part of the Avengers line.It's worth noting first that all sets have some form of projectile-firing gimmick. Most use the tension system, where pieces are held in place until you give a tap or shift a Lego brick, though a couple of pieces in the Knowhere and Milano sets use spring-loaded launchers. Something to be aware of, especially if you have young children around -- either method is capable of flinging pieces a good distance. Of the two larger sets, Knowhere Escape is the more kid-friendly, packing in plenty of play features such as catapults, trap doors, and destructible platforms once constructed. Total build time is around 90 minutes, and for that you get Rocket's weird cylindrical hover vehicle (hover feature requires imagination), a mini-complex of raised floors and projectile weapons, and Groot.The sentient tree Guardian is actually the star of the set, a satisfyingly complex and ingenious build in his own right.
Groot requires around 50 pieces to complete, a massive evolution for Lego "Big Figs" compared to the likes of Hulk from earlier releases that were just, well, bigger. Once you've built him he's an action figure in his own right, with multiple points of articulation and convenient studs on his arm for Rocket to perch on. He's remarkably well-balanced too -- we managed to pose him an arboreal pirouette and he stood firm. The only downside is that those points of articulation don't include the neck, which slightly limits how well Groot can be presented. Rocket is adorable but also suffers from posing restrictions.His legs are half the normal Lego size, keeping him appropriately shorter than his peers, but that means they aren't jointed.Similarly, his sculpted head, which fits over his shoulders, means he sits eternally staring forward. His weapon is a mini-marvel though (no pun intended) -- a techno rifle that actually allows light to travel through the miniscule channel in its mounted sight scope.
Rocket's vehicle is fun too, looking like a deep sea pod complete with grabber claws, but with the addition of energy mines to drop out of the back. Lego Karen Gillan (sorry, Nebula) is the most posable of the standard sized minifigs included, and benefits from a beautiful paint scheme of deep blues and purples. She also comes with three swords, despite only being able to hold two. The third actually fits into her head, which is in no way a quirk of Lego's universal sizes and is obviously an indication of how tough the character is. On the flip side, the Milano set feels much more collector focussed. Both its higher price and complexity (you're looking at up to three hours to put all six bags together, with many of the pieces being exceptionally tiny and demanding precision skills -- it's one of the most intricate Lego builds Wired.co.uk has seen) are likely to deter kids. There's also the fact that the finished product -- a beautifully symmetrical spacecraft with adjustable wing blades feathering out on either side -- is far more of a display piece than a plaything.
paring to the Quinjet again, the Milano just doesn't have as many play points. The Quinjet has detachable modules, a drop down rover, and the same kind of variable flaps and wings as the Milano, which really just has a lot of tucked away missiles. The only quibble on the build quality is that the main canopy just sits on the top, rather than being hinged or otherwise connecting. Like Groot's immobile neck, it's a strange decision given minor modifications would have given a more pleasing result. The Milano set also comes with a smaller vehicle, used by Ronan the Accuser. It's a simple build resulting in an odd hover sled of sorts, with seemingly random vertical shield/wing... things. It is, however, the first Lego vehicle we've seen with blood splatter on the windows -- or, more likely, some sort of tribal marking that will remain unexplained until we've seen the film. The package also includes five minifigs -- Star Lord again, a third Sakaaran (which makes us think he's either a bigger presence in the movie than trailers have indicated, or just one of numerous grunt-level villains), Gamora, Drax, and the aforementioned Ronan.No real surprises here, as all characters are standard size and with regular levels of poseability.
