Lego Horizons Adventures launched with none related toy units however there’s one popping out in March and it appears actually good.
Lego is nice however the one factor it isn’t is affordable. There’re normally good causes for that, past Lego eager to make a revenue, as Lego bricks don’t develop on bushes and neither do the licences wanted to make units primarily based on current properties.
That’s why Star Wars and Marvel units, for instance, at all times appear further costly however, surprisingly, this new one for Lego Horizon Adventures is sort of moderately priced.
The snappily named Lego Horizon Adventures Aloy & Varl vs. Shell-Walker & Sawtooth set does simply what it says on the tin, with two minifigures and two robotic animals for a non-extortionate £39.99.
Previously, the one Lego set primarily based on Horizon Zero Dawn was a now retired one among a Tallneck, which got here with a minifigure of Aloy and value solely £69.99. Although it’s round £90 on eBay if you wish to get it now.
Perhaps Sony isn’t charging as a lot because it might for the licence, in an try to make sure Lego makes extra units. Sony has been eager to push the Horizon franchise lately and on the face of it Lego isn’t an apparent associate, as neither of the principle video games are very kid-friendly.
Everyone loves big robotic dinosaurs although and there’s no query the mechanical designs look nice in Lego kind, with the crab-like Shell-Walker and the sabre-tooth tiger impressed Sawtooth.
The set is made up of 768 items, together with a patch of lengthy grass to cover in, a campfire and a treasure chest – of which there are lots of in Lego Horizon Adventures.
The Shell-Walker has opening claws and a removable cargo pod, plus a neat wanting power defend fabricated from Lego bricks. The Sawtooth additionally has detachable elements, so Aloy can shoot them off, in addition to a gap mouth and poseable claws.
Aloy’s bow may be customised, whereas Varl’s spear may be switched up for fireplace, ice, and shock elemental assaults, so it’s a neat little set with quite a lot of consideration to element if you understand the video games.
Although you’ll be able to pre-order the set now, on the Lego website, it received’t be launched till March 1. Whether it is a delay, and it was meant to be out similtaneously the sport – which got here out on November 14 – is unclear however March is a standard time of the 12 months for brand spanking new Lego units to launch.
What’s additionally unclear is that if there’ll be another, greater units. There have been faux pictures of a fan-made Thunderjaw circulating round however up to now this Shell-Walker one is the one one which’s identified to be actual.
