The price grade here is a 9.9 — rare air for a licensed Marvel set. Groot holding baby Rocket is the kind of shelf moment that stops people mid-scroll, and at $54.99 for a buildable figure this size, LEGO® left real money on the table.
Is the price fair?A+One of the fairest prices on a licensed Marvel set in years — $54.99 for this character and this size is genuinely surprising.
Will you love it?C-Shelf presence is strong but the build experience is middling and there's zero play pattern without minifigs.
Holds its value?C-Hasn't moved much on the secondary market — buy it because you want it on your shelf, not your spreadsheet.
The Full Take
Buildable figures live or die on character, and Groot nailed it — the slouch, the oversized hands, the little Rocket tucked inside read instantly from across a room. This is a 2022 set that somehow priced like it didn't know Marvel IP was a license to charge whatever. The build itself is a medium-complexity figure build: satisfying enough, nothing that'll challenge an experienced builder, but the end result punches well above what the process demands. No minifigs means no traditional play pattern, so kids who want action figures will bounce off it fast. Where it earns its grade is that sweet spot between display impact and a price that doesn't sting — rare territory for this theme. Resale hasn't been the story here, and that's worth knowing before you buy multiples.
