      It is, I can assure you from personal experience :) This set is like a dream I didn't know I had come true. I am sure it is what some others feel about Optimus Prime :)

      That's how I feel about the DeLorean. But now I will wait for the day they release a Legend of Zelda Lego set...

    This is definitely from Horizon Zero Dawn, since it's the very first one you encounter in the city. All of them have a different layout of the golden plates at the neck and it fits the first one perfectly. Btw if you move all 4 legs back by one snap of the joints, the head will be perfectly horizontal instead of leaning forward.

    • @logan317b
      @logan317b 2 года назад +8

      Yeah I wish there were specific instructions for positioning it correctly

    • @jacekpietrzak445
      @jacekpietrzak445 2 года назад +1

      Exactly. It may be based od an Ideas design, made before Forbidden West was out.

  • @maks_____
    @maks_____ 2 года назад +102

    As someone who'd easily put the Horizon games in their top 5 games of all time, this set is easily my favorite lego set of all time. It's just straight up perfect, I can't remember feeling so fulfilled after building a lego set, even ignoring how much I love the games. So much respect to the designers on this one.

    @broston_ 2 года назад +60

    5:50 While the yellow might stick out there, I'd actually say it's more accurate than gold and I wish all of the gold parts were yellow too

    • @ThatImmo
      @ThatImmo 2 года назад +9

      I think they used gold to emphasize how those bits are highlighted by the Focus.

  • @ristopoho824
    @ristopoho824 2 года назад +15

    It's rare that a lego set looks like a labor of love. Being included in the adult line helps in this case, no need to put in playfeatures. I would have liked some poseability, but it's a displaypiece, and it's good for that. I haven't bought lego sets in years. And i haven't played the game either. But the order is in, this set is good.

  • @asimplepessimist8790

    @Joramee 2 года назад +25

    This is a beautiful set. Perfect representation of the game. Perfect price point. Wonderful building techniques. Aloy's minifig is amazing. I have absolutely no complaints about this set. Nice review.

  • @stam7250

    Gorgeous looking set, hopefully this set sells well so we can see more and more videogame diorama sets. Great review as always, Jang!

  • @BrotherhoodWorkshop
    @BrotherhoodWorkshop 2 года назад +50

    That is a beautiful set, and I would buy it at once.....if I were familiar with the source material :( As I am not a gamer, I appreciate the quality of the product, but have no emotional attachment.

      @bt1234567892010 2 года назад +2

      if you like post apocalyptic stuff it may be worth watching a playthrough of both games, they're excellent.

    • @Firefight_
      @Firefight_ 2 года назад +2

      Well, Horizon Zero Dawn rewards careful gameplay, so if you want to get into games, HZD is a good place to start.

  • @hazelscully2874
    @hazelscully2874 2 года назад +5

    I’ve never played the games but as soon as I saw this set I fell in love. I love the build process and the design, the display of it is just incredible and it quickly became one of my favorite sets they did a really nice job with it

  • @logan317b
    @logan317b 2 года назад +7

    I finished and fell in love with both games this year and I've been a lego fan all my life, so I couldn't be happier they did this. I bought this set the day it was released and every day I marvel at how amazing it looks. I really hope they make more sets from other scenes or machines but I'm already so happy that they made this in the first place. Also quick note if you bend both legs back where the joints click once the whole body tilts up a bit and stands up straight with the head level with the ground as it should be. I wish there were specific instructions for that.

  • @DouglasLambert
    @DouglasLambert 2 года назад +4

    Just built mine and it's a damn good set! Loved every minute of building it and the model is absolutely perfect. Just loved it!

  • @ItchyNavel
    @ItchyNavel 2 года назад +12

    The gold elements are fairly close to what they should be for the game. The in-game colors are actually a much brighter yellow, because in the original game all the climbable surfaces were highlighted yellow. I think the gold is a good compromise between being accurate to the game and not having them stick out like a sore thumb.

  • @Symbol-Of-Peace
    @Symbol-Of-Peace 2 года назад +5

    As a massive fan of both Horizon and Lego, this set is very much an unexpected yet welcomed addition to my collection.

  • @MG-sy8pj
    @MG-sy8pj 2 года назад +13

    Yes Jang, I agree. You just look at it and go "Wow, that is cool!" I have little idea of what it is or what it does, but I like it. I like it a lot. Love that base!

  • @brickabang
    @brickabang 2 года назад +1

    I think Lego should make more sets with licenses of things tailored to people older than children, it would be cool to see a God of War one

  • @ebomb1133
    @ebomb1133 2 года назад +1

    I happened to find this set on a random endcap at my local Meijer the day it released. When I was in checkout, an elderly couple was behind me and asked what it was supposed to be and who it was for. I replied:
    "It's basically a robot dinosaur..... And it's for me." It was quite a wholesome moment. I can't wait to build it and Jang did an awesome review of the set!

  • @gerrit2822
    @gerrit2822 2 года назад +3

    This might be my favorite set of the year so far. It looks beautiful, includes an awesome figure and is a very useful parts pack, all at a great value.
    While the new SW dioramas throw quotes at you screaming that they want to be desirable collectibles, this set here just casually is and I love that!

  • @talarion997
    @talarion997 2 года назад +7

    Totally agree! Didn't expect it coming that good. This, along with the upcoming Optimus Prime, seem to be amazing display pieces, rivaling actual action figures, and accordingly priced. The Aloy minifigure is top notch.

  • @IanMcGarr
    @IanMcGarr 2 года назад

    When you said it looks like he's leaning back he isn't, that the way it stands, it's neck is shaped like that. This is one of the most spot on Lego sets in a long time. They nailed it. Another fantastic video, I love when you're excited for a set, makes the rest of us excited.

  • @empatheticrambo4890
    @empatheticrambo4890 2 года назад +1

    The fact that it can articulate and also be a pure display model is very impressive!

  • @lordwisehammer
    @lordwisehammer 2 года назад +3

    The fact that this set comes with a Watcher rather than a Burrower is the first sign that the designer used Zero Dawn not Forbidden west as a reference.

  • @marcgorter8651
    @marcgorter8651 2 года назад +126

    Wouldn't mind a Horizon series of robots... same with the Optimus Prime set. A Transformers series of transformable characters... Oh man, too many sets, too little money.

      @cyanimation1605 2 года назад +2

      vote with your wallet dude. I'm on the fence about this one mostly because FOMO about the current Mega Construx Halo Pelican with a Brohammer figure that might never get made again. But I think I'll save this one for next pay period, to vote with my wallet

  • @xhearthfirex6571
    @xhearthfirex6571 2 года назад +5

    This is one of the few times I’m actually okay with the price. I also never played the game but the thing itself looks very interesting. It’s an eyecatcher even if you doubt know about the origin. The minifigure is also very nice. This set is already going for 60€ in Europe and I even got it for 45€. With that price in mind it’s basically cheap. I’m happy with everything about this set

  • @bt1234567892010
    @bt1234567892010 2 года назад +2

    I've played both games, and I adore this set.
    I really want the Aloy minifig if nothing else, I'm also not mad at the limited articulation, given the tallneck's unique stride they didn't need to do a lot of joints.

  • @_Pikalika_
    @_Pikalika_ 2 года назад +1

    Thinking about buying it, I have the perfect nook for it on my desk and it looks fantastic. It's just that I never played the games and have no feelings toward the souce material

    @jakobwanner4440 2 года назад +1

    Thanks Jang, great review. I bought this set in store here in Australia a few weeks ago a couple of days before release which is something I never do but as you said there is something just good about this set and so good to build too. I'm not a gamer at all and I really liked it first time I saw it.

  • @flarepie24
    @flarepie24 2 года назад

  • @Farat9622
    @Farat9622 2 года назад

    I pushed the whole model on the base forward and all the legs moved one click. Now the model stands perfectly as if its straightened out with the dish head perfectly horizontal.

  • @xXDaikanisXx
    @xXDaikanisXx 2 года назад

    i was super hyped when i saw the trailer for this, i loved the first game and definitely fell in love with these stoic graceful giants, somehting about them gives me inner peace and i love how this set looks. im just about to finish the head and yeah! the base is mesmerizing

    @tommymorris7329 2 года назад

    Big fan of the games. Just finished Forbidden West and just ordered this set. The set I ordered is labeled as "Zero Dawn" (The first game). I believe they have reboxed it to reflect the newer game.

  • @tvalkyrie
    @tvalkyrie 2 года назад

    Thanks for this review ! I too am not a gamer but this set is Awesome ! The colors are fantastic combination. The tan, blue grey, & black offset the white beautifully. The base has just the right amount of extras to set up the whole seen. 💖

  • @Lycius84
    @Lycius84 2 года назад

    The price and the build are fantastic. I had to get it immediately when it came out and just finished building it last night and I am super happy with this build. I also built recently the Batman Tumbler you mentioned because it was one of those builds that looked good and the price was great ($32).

  • @phoenixheart79
    @phoenixheart79 2 года назад

    As a huge Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West fan, I really want this kit but it sold out ludicrously fast - I checked online at 1am day of release - gone. Did a store check in the morning (my local is 25ish miles away), had it in stock. In the time it took me to drive there, sold out. Turns out they got less than 20.
    I've noticed Lego seem to be having issues with forecasting demand recently. Titanic, Delorean, Tallneck, T-Rex diorama and so on.

  • @ROTSTarge
    @ROTSTarge 2 года назад +1

    I also really appreciate the restraint they showed with pricing. They could have made something and charged $150 for it. But they didn't. With how expensive lego is getting, I really appreciate that this is within the range of what I can afford for a quality display model

  • @Justin_WithThreeDots
    @Justin_WithThreeDots 2 года назад

    Had a lot of fun building this one, and I hope the sales are good enough that Lego/Guerrilla Games think about making other sets. Until then I'm probably going to look for some other MOCs of Horizon machines to build (a few months back I built a smaller version of the Tallneck I found instructions online for)

  • @Octopolis
    @Octopolis 2 года назад

    I guess you could try to put it in a walking pose by changing the angle of the "knee joints"? Just turn the piece around?
    Probably will get this one, looks real good despite it not being proportionate or being minifig scale (would be another giant dust collector)

  • @SlamBossman
    @SlamBossman 2 года назад +1

    It's fascinating to me what lego can do when they don't put money first. This set is pretty much perfect as a model set. I'm not a fan of stickers on play sets since they will peel. But here it's just perfect. As someone who doesn't support lego anymore, this is one I definitely will buy to promote good work like this. As a fan of horizon its also so perfect

  • @JadeMythriil
    @JadeMythriil 2 года назад

    Heres a little fun fact about Tallneck:
    When it moves it lifts both front and hind legs on one side of its body every time it makes a step, leaving the legs on the other side to balance the creature/machine when walking.

  • @gordonlarrikin9683

    I haven’t finished Horizon Zero Dawn but I absolutely loved what I did play. I remember hunting the tallnecks to fill out the map and it was really fun. I haven’t bought lego in ages and I knew I had to get this set. Too bad its constantly selling out.

  • @joshmagnum7312
    @joshmagnum7312 2 года назад

    My only complaint with this set is that I missed it on day 1 when it sold out, and it took until last week for Lego to restock it so I could finally get my hands on it! I've never seen a new set stay out of stock for so long.

  • @stairmasternem
    @stairmasternem 2 года назад

    Favorite set. Love the oval base, love the techniques used. I changed the thighs on the watcher immediately though. Blaster with studs on bottom front sides plus a round tile with bar, it creates that more Z shape to the leg. More chicken like. They are a bit fiddly but not bad. The tile with bar slots in well into the body of the Watcher and doesn’t pop out easy.

    @MrKlawUK 2 года назад

    I don’t know if they’d do more sets, but I hope so. The ‘robot dinosaur/animal’ aesthetic I think has relatively broad appeal beyond fans of the game. This is the most ‘gamey’ creature and I think eg the Thunderjaw or one of the rideable creatures would have even more appeal

  • @scolioreset
    @scolioreset 2 года назад

    I managed to get one last week and got it shipped. The box arrived in a questionable condition, didn’t order it from LEGO. This is, by far, one of the best building experiences. It has its own secrets and surprises, but the result is almost as good to me as the 1989 Batmobile. The value in pieces, variety and the overall quality of the entire thing may allow this set to stand the test of time much like the rest of the Machines in Horizon: they all look phenomenal, the Thunderjaw being… jawdropping… and the Broadhead being my favorite mount in any game I’ve played thanks to the sound and visual design. I’m not a big fan of Horizon’s RPG elements, but the creatures and the combat really made me interested in what crazy stuff they could offer. I’ve yet to play Forbidden West because I hope it’ll be on PC someday.
    A great set, that’s that.

  • @hoarder66

    Well designed set. True to the game, overall great aesthetics. Not mind-blowing, but a really clean set that delivers. They should explore more Horizon and mech-style collabs if they can keep up this quality.

  • @tylerrose1943
    @tylerrose1943 Год назад

    I was so excited to get this set when I saw it in a LEGO store on vacation. Unfortunately, it seems like it’s not for casual builders, as you apparently need the patience and skill of a Lego Master. The legs and connections on the legs to the body constantly fall apart on me, and don’t even bother trying to get them to stick properly to the ground layer, as the whole thing will fall apart on you again. Maybe I’m not good enough, but I personally find this set to simply just be disappointing, especially as a Horizon fan.

  • @abdelali9279

    When I played Zero Dawn I thought they were some kind of area bosses and turned out they were just some tame glorified walking 5G towers. Man I was having some doubts about it but it just looks so beautiful, I've seen Star Wars UCS and other "display" model sets but this is the only set I really feel proud to have in display in my living room and not shoved in a shelf in my man cave, it's not toy like it's not some big gray plastic mountain it really looks like a pretty diorama set made with building blocks, IDK but I really need to find one for myself now.

    You know what would be awesome, Subnautica sets. Imagine a Reaper Leviathan or Ghost Leviathan with a Cyclops or something. Might be a little big but it’d be really cool.
