“I am delighted to see LEGO return to Guardians of the Galaxy and 76278 Rocket's Warbird vs. Ronan is an excellent set, on the whole. Neither minifigure is perfect and I would have loved to see Ronan's dedicated shoulder armor component again, but Rocket and Ronan look... More splendid in their current form.”

The Brick Fan
“Overall, I think the LEGO Marvel Rocket’s Warbird vs. Ronan (76278) is a decent set and you can finally get the ship without paying secondary prices for the SDCC version. The pricing is a little higher than what it should be and what you get for it but what you get is a... More highly playable ship with some updated minifigures.”
