Character Background
Peter Quill, also known as Star-Lord, leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy; this uniform represents the team's unified look in the final movie of the trilogy directed by James Gunn.

Reflects the shift toward the comic-accurate 'Annihilation' era uniforms with a unified dark blue and red color palette.
Similar Minifigures
sh873 Star-Lord (polybag), sh910 Rocket Raccoon (Vol 3), sh886 Drax (Vol 3), sh889 Mantis (Vol 3).
Collectibility
Moderate; essential for completing the 'Vol. 3' team lineup, though common due to presence in multiple sets.
History
Represents the 4th major redesign of Star-Lord since his LEGO debut in 2014.
Interesting Facts
The crest on the chest is the same logo used for the Ravagers and later adopted by the Guardians in the MCU; this is the first movie-accurate version to omit leg printing for this character's main look.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the rest of the Vol. 3 team in a row or inside the 76255 New Guardians' Ship set.
Modification Potential
Highly compatible with previous versions; collectors often swap the head for the version featuring the Star-Lord mask (part 17450).
Overall Assessment
A solid, movie-accurate representation of the character's final appearance in the trilogy, though slightly let down by the lack of leg printing.
