Lego is a beloved toy by many, but it's no secret that it can be quite expensive. However, for those who have been waiting for a new set to add to their collection, the wait is almost over. Lego Horizons Adventures, the latest addition to the Lego franchise, was released without any associated toy sets. But fear not, because a new set will be hitting the shelves in March and it looks absolutely fantastic.
Now, we all know that Lego is not known for its affordability. And there's a good reason for that - Lego bricks don't just grow on trees and neither do the licenses needed to make sets based on existing properties. That's why sets based on popular franchises like Star Wars and Marvel tend to be pricier. However, to our surprise, this new set for Lego Horizons Adventures is actually reasonably priced.
Let's take a closer look at this set, shall we? The Lego Horizon Adventures Aloy & Varl vs. Shell-Walker & Sawtooth set, with its snappy name, includes two minifigures and two robot animals for the affordable price of £39.99. This is a steal compared to the previous Lego set based on Horizon Zero Dawn, which featured a Tallneck and came with a minifigure of Aloy for a whopping £69.99. And good luck finding it for that price now, as it's going for almost £90 on eBay.
Some may wonder why this set is priced so reasonably, especially when it comes to sets based on popular franchises. Well, perhaps Sony is not charging as much for the license in order to encourage Lego to create more sets. After all, Sony has been heavily promoting the Horizon franchise in recent years. And despite the fact that the main games are not exactly kid-friendly, everyone loves giant robot dinosaurs, right?
And let's be real, the mechanical designs of these robot animals look amazing in Lego form. From the crab-like Shell-Walker to the sabre-tooth tiger inspired Sawtooth, this set is sure to impress. And with 768 pieces, including a patch of long grass, a campfire, and even a treasure chest (because who doesn't love a good treasure hunt?), this set is full of attention to detail.
The Shell-Walker features opening claws and a detachable cargo pod, as well as a cool energy shield made entirely out of Lego bricks. The Sawtooth is just as impressive, with removable parts that Aloy can shoot off, an opening mouth, and poseable claws. And for those who are familiar with the games, you'll be happy to know that Aloy's bow can be customized and Varl's spear can switch between fire, ice, and shock elemental attacks.
But don't get too excited just yet, as this set won't be released until March 1. Whether this was a delay and it was supposed to coincide with the game's release on November 14 is unclear. However, March is a common time for new Lego sets to launch, so let's just patiently wait for it.
One question that remains unanswered is if there will be any other sets in the future. There have been some fake images of a fan-made Thunderjaw set circulating, but so far the only confirmed set is the Shell-Walker one. So, let's keep our fingers crossed for more sets to come.
