About this deal

Accuracy and detailing were undoubtedly the primary concerns when developing 76193 The Guardians' Ship and the resulting model is absolutely extraordinary! The shape looks perfect when compared with the source material and I appreciate the integration of numerous wedge plates, curved slopes and tiles to recreate authentic markings. Those above the fuselage and wings appear particularly attractive. Furthermore, the stand includes a turntable underneath the spacecraft, enabling rotation which is excellent for display. The vessel appears exceptionally dynamic when realistically angled and adjusting the position reveals additional detail. Fortunately, attention has evidently been focused upon every surface, hence the model looks equally impressive when viewed from any angle.

Blob | Cyber | Dark Phoenix | Emma Frost | Juggernaut | Lady Deathstrike | Magneto Acolyte | Mastermind | Mini Sentinel | Mystique | Omega Red | Pyro | Sabretooth | Silver Samurai | Toad Drax and Nebula would have completed the Guardians of the Galaxy team. Unfortunately, a generic Chitauri is supplied instead. This minifigure definitely improves upon earlier designs, especially since the head now features an accurate golden helmet. Similar printing continues across either side of the torso, where technological armour surrounds alien skin.Despite their differing scales, these spacecraft incorporate the same 8x6 canopy component. However, the metallic silver decoration seems more intricate while the trans-clear canopy has been replaced with a trans-purple piece. Trans-clear would probably have been more accurate, although the purple colour appears much more impressive in my opinion. Ghost Spider ( Gwen Stacy) | Iron Spider | Scarlet Spider | Spider-Girl (Anya Corazon) | Spider-Girl (Jessica Drew) | Spider-Ham | Spider-Man (Miles Morales) | Spider-Man ( Peter Parker) | Spider-Man Noir | Spider-Man 2099 | Spider-Woman Each boom is connected to the fuselage using two ball joints, with cosmetic support from the articulated actuators. They can accordingly move outwards which reflects the original vehicle and reveals twin cylindrical engine housings. These thruster booms cannot move downwards though, as exhibited before Thor's departure at the conclusion of Avengers: Endgame. Both minifigures are great additions to the LEGO Marvel 2022 advent calendar and a vast improvement over the exclusive minifigures in the 2021 version, of which only one was appropriately festive. — LEGO Marvel 76231 Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar price —

It’s a shame to see that LEGO advent calendars still can’t escape their usual tropes even when based on a source material as vast as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, though it’s only one day in what is otherwise a great variety of models. — LEGO Marvel 76231 Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar characters — Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar features 24 days of builds and minifigures to count down to Christmas, all revolving around a specific theme. The current line-up of these seasonal sets ranges from Star Wars to CITY with Marvel being the newest addition to the annual range. However, 76231 Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar is the first to be based on a Marvel Studios project rather than Marvel overall, raising expectations from the 2021 version. Runaways: Alex Wilder | Chase Stein | Gert Yorkes | Karolina Dean | Molly Hernandez | Nico Minoru | Old Lace Seasonal and exclusive minifigures make up a huge part of the modern LEGO advent calendars and 76231 Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar is no exception. Most of the team is featured behind the doors of this set, including a new version of Drax, who has been one of the rarest members of the Guardians of the Galaxy in minifigure form.

For a Marvel Studios enthusiast, 76231 Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar is a must-have for the 2022 holiday season and most days will have you remembering a scene from the Marvel Studios movies. However, that focus on Easter eggs and references limits its appeal somewhat, as those not as interested in the MCU might struggle to connect with the builds, preferring more festive inclusions for the holiday season. Aleta Ogord | Charlie-27 | Cosmo the Space-Dog | Kraglin Obfonteri | Major Vance Astro | Martinex | Moondragon | Nikki | Starhawk Substantial changes have also been introduced for Groot, whose constituent pieces are now dark tan instead of reddish brown. Either colour works nicely, although the lighter shade does show the printing more clearly. This is fortunate because the texture looks absolutely fantastic, covering the head, torso, legs and feet. Groot's unusual head component looks marvellous too.

Thor accompanies the Guardians here, taking inspiration from Avengers: Endgame and thus appearing somewhat bedraggled. Despite featuring flesh arms in the main product image, this minifigure actually includes pearl dark grey arms so matches the movie and the character from 76192 Avengers: Endgame Final Battle. The textured hair element and double-sided head also return from that playset. LEGO: Available from September 1, 2022 — LEGO Marvel 76231 Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar build — Moreover, no plaque is present which is surprising because they have accompanied previous Super Heroes sets, including 76105 The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition. However, this stand looks adequate without a plaque, spoiled only by the conspicuous Technic beams and blue pins that remain exposed. These issues are bothersome but the colourful vehicle monopolises attention. Dark Elf | The Destroyer | Ego the Living Planet | Enchantress | Executioner | Frost Giant | Kurse | Laufey | Malekith the Accursed | Mr. Hyde | Radioactive Man | Ragnarok | Surtur Fueled by a personal vendetta against those who cost him his family, the rough-edged warrior called Drax the Destroyer has room in his life for little else besides revenge. To this end, the heavily tattooed Drax has long relied upon his proficiency in battle and his razor-sharp blades to do his talking for him. After making a tentative alliance with the Guardians of the Galaxy, the untamed Drax must learn to put the needs of the universe before his own.Despite multiple days combined into one model and a missing team member, the level of thought and the many references in 76231 Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar make it great value, as long as you’re a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fans of Marvel comics might have preferred a mix of other heroes outside of the Guardians of the Galaxy, though to be fair the name of the set makes it very clear that this isn’t going to be the case over the 24 days. Multiversal Heroes: Captain Assyria | Captain America 2099 | Captain Avalon | Forbush Man | Greenskyn Smashtroll | Hulk 2099 | Iron Man 2020 | Nosferata | Warmaker

Agent Sitwell | Arnim Zola | Bowman | Doctor List | Grant Ward | Hammer | Militant | Tactical Force | Viper The Guardians' Ship recreates the vehicle with unprecedented accuracy, rivalling Star Wars' popular Ultimate Collector Series! Splendid detail enshrouds this whole spacecraft and appealing minifigures are also included, although Drax is noticeably absent. Nevertheless, the model is paramount here and seems exceptional. Minifigures Speaking of Easter eggs, one door holds a crate of items from past Guardians of the Galaxy adventures, including a prosthetic eye, Yondu’s arrow, the Power Stone containment orb and what might be an Anulax Battery from the sequel.Accurate manoeuvring flaps are also included, matching those which extend as the Benatar prepares to land. These panels appear almost seamless and I appreciate the tiny body flaps below the aforementioned actuators, demonstrating excellent attention to detail. Opening the flaps also reveals continued texture underneath, flanking numerous round thrusters.
