LEGO Marvel I am Groot Building Toy, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Set for 10 Plus Year Old Boys & Girls, Collectible Baby Groot Figure Model, Gift Idea 76217

I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot.I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot.I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist.Look at him. Just look at him! Lego have more hits than misses, but we can safely say they’ve smashed it out of the park with this fantastic recreation of everyone’s favourite quattro-syllabic superhero. Lego have recently had a large drop of new sets, some of which are really quite high-profile but Groot had managed to go relatively under the radar. As soon as I saw him I knew two things. A) My wife would absolutely adore him. B) If I bought it for her then I might be able to sneak Optimus Prime in to the house as a diversion.So that’s how Groot came to find a new home alongside the rest of the Guardians of the Hallway on our console table. I’ll let my wife pick up the review of her build experience:Groot Build Time: 2 hrs 35minsIt’s in 3 main bags, with some smaller bags within each main bag. You need all the bags open within the main bag you’re working on. I initially didn’t open the smaller bags within the 1st bag, but then realised they were all needed immediately.To start with I sorted each bag into shapes and colours. It adds time to the overall build but I find it makes the experience less frustrating.1st you start by putting the back and sticker onto the plaque, and then you build the tape. You then move on to building Groot. Starting with the main body, that’s Bag 1 complete.Bag 2 - legs, feet, arms and hands.Bag 3 - the head. Half way through you get to see his character start to appear.Just one tricky bit, trying to align an axle into a ball shaped piece, as you can’t see the cross bit of the axel, otherwise a straight forward, pleasant build.What I’m left with is adorable. Groot looks wonderful once finished. He’s such a happy character and he’s already one of my favourite Lego builds alongside Wall-E and the VW T2 Campervan. Although a little unsteady he stands well on two feet. He doesn’t sit quite so comfortably but you can articulate him a little into poses. The addition of the audio tape is great, and the icing on the tape is the Infomation Plaque which just says “I am Groot”. And, I knew he’d write I am Groot over and over. Honestly, it’s like living with a child sometimes. But since he brought me Groot as a gift I won’t hold it against him. Groot is awesome!Back to me (Craig). Over the years we’ve spent a lot of money on Lego, especially Star Wars and Creator Expert sets. I’ve not always felt that we’re getting real value for money as some sets can be completed extremely quickly However, with Groot, he really is worth the price. At a little under £50 at time of purchase it’s a relatively cheap set compared to some, but still a fair outlay as a toy. But as a display model Groot is one of my favourite Lego sets I’ve brought in a long time. I highly recommend him.

Love this little man. The MCU is one of my favourite film franchises and Guardians was one of my favourite films of the lot. Groot is many a fan favourite so when I saw this I knew I wanted him for my collection. I put it off for a while, but then it finally hit a price my bank balance would approve of.I have been building Lego for a couple of years now, focusing on builds of characters and collector builds from my favourite film franchises. This little guy was a fun one to put togther and I stretched it over a few days; my brother goes crazy that I don't build them quickly but I love spreading out the build to enjoy the experience and to increase my appreciation of the final result.I'm always amazed at the internal workings of some of these builds and this smaller one was no exception, particularly the head.One of my favourite parts of this set is something you build right at the beginning: the cassette. I grew up making mixed tapes and I love the soundtrack to this movie so the cassette was a really fun way to start the build. I also love the little information sign that is included which any person who speaks the language of Groot should be able to understand perfectly.In summary, great Lego build which is a must have for fans of the MCU or anyone who loves cute dancing trees!

It’s Lego, everyone loves Lego. I got it when it was on offer. It’s for a birthday present, I’m happy & the recipient will be when it’s their birthday.

I'm pleasantly surprised by this set. My son wanted a small fun build of this birthday and this seemed to fit the bill. It didn't take him very long but it makes good use of existing pieces to make Groot/tree parts. You can pose it in different stances but its very top heavy due to the size of the head. For me, being old, the cassette is the standout feature. It's really does look like a cassette. The size and weight are really close to the genuine article. A really cool shelf piece of a Lego set (see air guitar pose).

Great lego product looks great really fun to build

Bought this for my Grandson who is a big fan of Groot and has several Groots already but not a Lego one which he enjoys building so a great gift for him

At first glance, this looks to be a very easy build. I struggled with this build, and even though it looks easy to build, it can be quite challenging in the latter parts of building Groot. There are a few stickers too (which I am not a fan of).If you or someone you know, is a big Marvel and Guardians of the Galaxy fan, then this is a fantastic buy as it is value for money!

Really enjoyed the build as an adult. It’s Lego and it’s fun. Instructions were easy to follow. There is a lot of small bits, so maybe not good for younger children. Looks great, with plenty of detail. Pretty sturdy, but some of the leafs tend to fall off. Great for a display piece.
