The pearl gold pieces along the neck represent points on the Tallneck where Aloy can climb the machine. Stickers aside it looks great from every angle! That way you don't feel so much pressure to get it right or ruin your model. And now it's going to bug me for all time! For adult themed sets at least I wish Lego would include 2 sets of stickers. They are a pain to place, and they don't add all that much to the model. Nothing feels like it'll fall off, yet the whole model looks so delicate. It is amazing how secure everything is on the Tallneck. It stands without the base with no problem. When it's done you get a machine that feels both spindly and sturdy. Here you can see some of the SNOT work and a new element created for this set, a one brick deep click hinge attachment. There's no simple brick-stacking in this beast! It's an absolute joy to build and every part is fun. The Tallneck itself is a constant SNOT party. The base has 4 attachment points which will be used to secure the Tallneck to the ground. And the aspen is a great splash of color though the holes in the technic connectors is unfortunate. Turning past the intro material we can see that the build is broken up into 2 parts.Īnd wow, what a base! Using all kinds of SNOT Isaac gives us a beautiful oval that is sturdy without being too dense.įinishing the base gives us a little piece of scenery for display or play. He took a job at Lego a few years ago and his creative genius has been unleashed on this set. Inside are 8 numbered bags, a loose baseplate, a loose vine/flex-cable, a small sticker sheet and the instructions.Īnd inside the instructions we meet our very own Isaac Snyder! The top side of the box uses Aloy to show the actual size of the pieces. The back of the box shows off some of the features of the set including the Watcher's eye scanner changing colors from green to yellow to red as well as Aloy "converting" the Tallneck to her side. Just one of the many touches that prove the designers were putting together a love letter to the game and its fans with this set. "Tallneck" is written/presented much like you would see it in game. The box is tall and imposing, much like the Tallneck itself. Price per Part: 7.4 EUR / 6.5 GBP / 7.4 USD Does this set capture all those emotions? In game it's huge, imposing, and a little scary especially the first time you see one. Without getting too technical or spoilery, the towering Tallneck machine acts as a radar dish of sorts that helps you spot other important things across the map. The main character, Aloy (pronounced 'eh-loy) goes around a post-apocalyptic world defending people and fighting machines. If you've played either of the Horizon games then this set will immediately resonate with you. Which makes me the model example of why video game companies partner with Lego And then when Horizon Zero Dawn (the first game in the series, Forbidden West is the second) was on sale on Steam I went ahead and bought it. This year, Horizon Forbidden West gets the Lego set treatment. I don't remember when it started (maybe Minecraft?), but Lego has been making sets based off popular videos games for awhile now.
