Cant quite live up to the aquaman Hype
" Key Structure:
Grade:66
Unfortunately, the central building in this set is disappointing. lego once again tries to thrust these new play techniques into the set, and instead of making it fun it's just annoying. Also, this set is not a twenty dollar set, this set with its 4 figs is more along the lines of 10-15 dollars. the only positive is the mother box with makes for a cool collecting addition. But all in all very disappointing
Figures
Grade: 89
The figures are what you spend your money on with this set. aside from the semi lame atlanteans, Aquaman and the parademon are excellent. Aquaman is great but I wish they had made a custom piece for the trident that is similar to the movie. all in all the figures are mostly worth it.
Overall:
Grade:70
This set should be bought for the purpose of the figures. the building is lame and annoying to keep in a collection but the figures and mother box are cool additions to the collection. however, I can not recommend this because of the lack of effort on the building part.

Worthy of a Humming Raccoon
" For the most part, this may be my favorite set of the new Guardians sets. The reason it ranks higher than the other two is that what you get is worth every cent. The ship is at the level as some of the more expensive products.
Main Ship:
Grade: 96
This ship is worth every cent. It fits well with TaserFace (snicker) and will entertain the person playing with it. As a collector, it fits well with the rest of the ships. However no product is perfect, and the key thing I would change is focusing on the central ship and leaving out the trees (not to say that the tree feels out of place).
Secondary Structure
Grade: 90
While previously stated that it would be better to leave this part out to focus more on the ship, I won't say that this part is bad. It does make the set more faithful to the scene in the film. I am starting to enjoy the new weapon parts that lego is creating.
Figures:
Grade 95
Rocket, Mantis, and Taserface (stupid name) are well designed and faithful to their film counterparts. For those collectors out there, you will not be disappointed.
Overall: 93
This set is well priced and definitely worth the buy. you get your money worth in the set and I would say deffinitely buy for entertainment. For collectors the figures are excellent. The only change has already been stated. Lego is finally stepping up their game.

Mary Poppins Y'all
" This is truly a well-crafted set. The ship itself is sturdy and shows true craftsmanship.
Central ship:
Grade: 97
The ships detail to the film is excellent. Adding the well-designed structure makes this a ship that stands out above the rest in the Marvel sets. I would truly recommend this set for the ship alone
Secondary Ship/structure:
Grade: 76
While the main ship is excellent the set lacks in creativity with the other two parts of the sets. while the second set is well designed to the film, I wish it were bigger or could even fit the figure of Ayesha in the ship. Maybe it would have been better to make it a separate set so it could be more technical or advanced. As for the red structure, the only thing that can be said is that it's just there. It doesn't resemble anything in the Marvel universe and seems like just a few extra parts.
Figures:
Grade: 98
The figures are excellent in their detail. The best by far is Yondu (I'm Mary Poppins Y'all) with his awesome mohawk and golden arrow. Peter Quill And Groot are loyal to the film counter parts and look good with the set. Ayesha works well with the set as well.
Overall Score:88
While I commend Lego for the expertly crafted ship and figures, it feels like they add a lazy secondary ship and structure to make it the price of 30$. I would say this would be excellent at the price of 20$. However, that being said I was still highly impressed with most of it. As for playability, I have a 6-year-old nephew that absolutely adores it. "
