Overall it's a pretty good set, as for looks it's pretty accurate to the movie although you can't move much of it. However it does have some good features.

1: the base is easily removable, and although it is barely connected to the Bowie it does stay in quite well. However during the build process when I tested it for the first time I thought it leaned forward too much so I adjusted it slightly. (Because of the technic pieces this was Rather easy) however by the end of the build process I realized Lego knew what they were doing when they specified the angle of the base, because when I set it down I noticed the bottom ring was touching the ground.

2: hopefully this one isn't as long as the last one. Just like that one scene from GotG 3, you can disconnect the sides of the ship to work as separate fighters, however you cannot disconnect the rings from the main body of the ship. However I understand this decision since you can only do so much with Lego.

3: you can move several parts of the ship, such as the rockets on the back, several panels on the sides of the rings, a hatch on the bottom, and the windshield/cockpit depending on what you call it.

Although those 3 features are good, that doesn't mean the set doesn't have problems.

1: you cannot move the rings up and down like in the movie, about mid-build I thought you could but near the end I had to add more pieces which blocked the rings from doing this. There are some gold colored pieces which let you attach them, and they look like they're meant to be pulled out so you can adjust the rings but NOPE. I'm especially annoyed by this because there's several pretty easy ways they could've made that work.

2: the set does not include Rocket or Groot, I know they probably did this so people are tempted to buy ALL of the new guardians sets but COME ON! At least add Groot!

3: Adam warlock is not accurate to the movie. You see those blue things on his hands in the picture? Those are supposed to be the energy blasts he uses. if you've seen it, you'd know they're supposed to be orange or yellow. I'm annoyed by this for a similar reason to my first issue with this set, they could've EASILY made this accurate. It's literally just a different colored plastic.

Although it's not 100% accurate, I still think it's a pretty good set. 7.5/10
