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.

Review consensus: We really rated this set and gave it a 4 out of 5-star review. Amazon reviewers have been overwhelmingly positive too, and the Lego Marvel Rocket and Baby Groot get an aggregate score of 4.9 out of 5 from almost 450 ratings, with a huge 93% of reviewers giving this Lego set top marks.

Don't buy if: You're not a fan of Marvel, prefer Lego Star Wars and are considering a more adult-oriented purchase – we'd recommend the UCS Millennium Falcon set as probably one of the best Lego sets ever made.
