I love the set but wish that like other large scale character models (grogu, BD1) it included a baby groot figure. I would definitely buy the set if they did that!
I got this as a gift because I really like Guardians of The Galaxy Vol.2 and I had not even seen pictures of this set before. I didn't know about it until I was gifted it and I love it. :D The cassette tape is amazing. I'm was very impressed with how the head was built and the stability and posability. Despite the big heavy head, I can pose this figure standing on one leg in the iconic Baby Groot dance pose and I'm not worried it may fall over. It has been standing in that pose on my desk for several weeks now. :D
Just got this set yesterday, nice neat cute little build, was not too hard to mirror the feet, also had extra old spare throwbot/bionicle technic pieces to give full range of motion to the hips
I’m partial to the baby groot itself, comes across a little uncanny for my liking, but that cassette tape is stunning! Especially with how close they got it to 1:1 scale. I’d almost like to see Lego do a set in the “Creator” line that’s just a handful of cassettes like that, maybe with licensed stickers based on actual tapes.
I know it wouldn't work well, or maybe not at all, but I wish the BD1 set had just as much posability/articulation as groot did so we could do more than make him stand and look. very tempted to get this and just have BD1 and Groot chilling together
Just built Groot myself yesterday. It is a fun build. However, one thing that may be a tiny detriment is the eyebrows. For some reason, the instructions imply they can be rotated further in, but physically, its not possible, leaving them a good bit misaligned with Groots eyes.
Costco sells multi-packs of this set and the new Iron Man 2 armory together for $100 total. Since both sets are overpriced, it provides a much cheaper way for fans to get both
I ordered this from 'W' two weeks ago, & price was $43 (+ tax). Its shipping has been delayed five days (due to sub-zero storm in midwest) & should be here tomorrow, OR next day. First ordered LEGO approximately 37 years ago for my first child. (I have three adult kids now, as well as two grandchildren) handing down so many LEGO products is a real delight, & has NEVER disappointed in any way. 😃 Not sure why I truly thought this Groot did 'something,' yet I'm realizing it does not. I'm so looking forward to seeing this, & all the faces as it's being opened, etc. For me, a 60+ female, I am very happy about this Groot, etc. I NEVER thought that 37 years later, LEGO continues to put smiles on all of our faces, & in our hearts 💕 Happy new year 2023 to all. 🇺🇲
Jang I need to know if I should buy the Lion Knight Castle. I love it so much but don’t know if it is overpriced. Would love to see a review from you to know whether or not I should buy it before the Forestmen Hideout promo goes away on August the 14th
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 am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot.
The set is in my opinion too expensive. The mouth jaw construction is very prone to fall off, as the whole thing easily falls over. I built the set and was very dissatisfied.

Cassette tape looks spot on. Bit surprised that the feet are identical, instead of being mirrored.

This set is absolutely epic. It looks just soo realistic with all those details. Very nice review!

I picked this up recently on offer for £20. I haven't built it yet but at that price it feels like a real bargain.
I only put stickers on one side of my tape, with the intent of building a second so I can have both tapes at the same time
That cassette tape is a Build inside of itself, Now they just need to put out the Walkmen
Got this at costco bundled with the iron man infinity saga for $99. Which makes this Groot set only $10.
Ah yes the cassette tape set with baby Groot accessory :D

I just watched Guardians of the galaxy Vol. 2 again, and this time I decided to buy this. It's 34 euros in Lithuania so it's definitely worth it :)
The eyes stare into my soul.
I can figure out how to get the top lip/part of mouth attached ... It doesn't seem like there's anything to attach it too...
This is the first marve "bigfig" that i persoly like... maybee gonna me one. 😁
Cutest thing ever! Great build and price for me and it's charming!
if this was $35-$40 it would be an insta-buy. $55 is a bit much, but it is wicked nice.
Am I the only one who thinks the facial design reminds me of Bob the Builder?
I really just love this set! It looks nice, just so much stickers. (I really don’t like stickers.)
this would make an awesome display piece

I think 55 dollars is actually very fair on this one.
Awe man they should’ve included his flower pot!!
In order of greatness Gundam Tshirt > Cassette Tape > Groot
Would have loved a minifigure, but this set is great!

Yeah, its alright.
I don't care how much this one costs - it's so cuuuuuuuute!
I'm just waiting for the new castle review, looking forward to it.
Would the cassette be a hint to the Ideas Sony Walkman that was submitted and reached 10000 support? :D
That's so uncanny valley-ish kinda scary model
Why haven't we gotten one of these for Babu Frik!
what do you think about set 4171: Emma's Art School

I got him and adore him
It's a definite "I am Groot" for me ! It's absolutely charming and so cute !!! (The terrifying comments are just plain weird).
Please make a custom lego Gundam please
For a while I thought the whips were that of Indiana Jones, all spiraled up, but their just the usual ones.
It was a good idea, but it kinda looks terrifying
I would have paid extra for an “angry” face option.
This looks great! £45 doesn't sound too crazy, either.
With the Lego sets being expensive there should be prints on everything and no stickers.
Saw this set and the Iron Man armory at Costco combined together for $100. I think that's a deal.
Today I learned (via James Gunn on Twitter) that Baby Groot is the original Groot's son, not a regressed version of OG Groot.
I am groot
Idk why but expected this to be £100 >< pleasantly surprised
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 am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot.
am I the only person who thinks Groots mouth is kinda creepy I personally would have preferred stickered mouths with different expressions idk
And there's a totally unnecessary but fun 'easter egg' in the head build 🙂
The cassette is nice but not really a fan of the Groot model, it just feels uncanny.
Adorable, but can’t help see the eyes as creepy for some reason
the head was the worse part of this build 4.5/10
Come on 55 it is a good price these days with the inflation and all that stuff overpriced that lego charge for many sets that are worse and awful...

I had no issues you just have to be careful how you position it and then it never falls over.
I think it's creepy tbh
I am groot
