I admit I was a bit skeptical when I first heard Marvel was making a Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Then I saw it and was blown away. Then I saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and couldn’t believe it was even better than the first one. Yep, when it comes to sequels, most movie franchises fall flat with a few exceptions.

When I heard they were making Guardians of the Galaxy Legos, my head nearly exploded. Don’t worry, it didn’t. My noggin’s still safe inside my funny-shaped skull. So when Lego told me they were sending me a Guardians set, I cranked up …
