Who doesn’t love Lego? Appealing to folks of all ages, Lego makes for wonderful gifts or collectors items. I find myself just really enjoying the process of it all. Popping on a podcast or some music while I just tune out and build. You take each piece of the instructions one step at a time while you can see your progress moving along in real time. It’s pretty mindful and therapeutic as you put this cool thing together in front of you while your mind wanders and your real-life stressors momentarily go away. Plus, Lego’s got awesome sets covering every franchise under the sun — Marvel being one of its most popular. Speaking of, this Lego Marvel Dancing Groot Guardians of The Galaxy set is currently 20% off, bringing the price down to just $36.
Groot has taken many shapes an sizes throughout his appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe—and even more just in Marvel media at large—but the character has never been more charming then when we first saw him dancing around as a tiny potted twig in the end credits of 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy. And this rendition has been immortalized in a 459-piece Lego set.
Groot’s Got Moves
This Lego Groot is fully posable with a head that turns and arms the move. It’s even interactive as the rear of the flower pot includes a handle you can crank that makes Groot dance—shifting his pseudo-waist back and forth and his arms up and down. The flower pot also has a built-in storage compartment for all the accessories. What are they you may ask?
Included in the set are three different name plates—one with his iconic catchphrase, “I am Groot,” one with the title of the movie, and one that I honestly can not really make out from the images. I think its also the title of the movie but in a made up space language? I don’t know, it’s been forever since I’ve seen any of the Guardians films. Don’t @ me.
Beyond the nameplates, Lego Groot also comes with some extra leaves, sunglasses, and headphones you can add onto him like a new-age Mr. Potato Head.
The Lego builder app can make the building process easier and more immersive than ever before. Zoom in and rotate sets in 3D while tracking your progress of the build in front of you intuitively. It’s a really cool way Lego has kept up with modern consumer expectations. You can check it out on the Lego website.
