Is is only me or did you also felt like there is a weird tension between the bricks when building the part of the Tallneck's head, I think it was around the 257 step in the instruction. It felt like an illegal connection is being made there and the bricks don't have enough space. So far I did not see anybody mention it and it felt really annoying during the assembly.
I just wanted to point out that the head of the Tallneck should be horizontally leveled (as displayed on the box art) if the legs of the model are placed correctly. I didn't get it right from the first attempt and judging by the review Tiago didn't get it either, so if you have issues with leveling your head, the problem is in the leg position (move the legs a click or two on the joints).
Thanks! This was hugely helpful! I managed to fix mine that was also not aligned. Typically you will have put it in a position that feels more natural and balanced when you have it standing alone. You just need to pull back the legs one or two clicks. It will feel weird and less balanced in the stand alone mode, but when you place it on the spot it looks good, and much more similar to the box art, with the chest more protruding.
I wish more adult sets at this price range would come out. These are the kind of sets that got me back into Lego as an adult. Stuff in that $50- $300 range. Nowadays it feels like we're getting way more $500 sets that just feel like they're pricing some of us out
Yes I’m agree with you. Some set are too expensive to buy and too big to show on shelf
ปีที่แล้ว +1
Add to it the bigger prices for smaller markets (these sell for €100+ here), it becomes very depressing. I am waiting for mine to arrive, I ordered it on the German Amazon when it was €69, can't wait to build it.
Probably won't happen but I hope Lego continues making Horizon sets. I'd love to see sets based on the Stormbird, the Tremortusk, and of course, the Thunderjaw. Each one could also include mini-builds for the smaller to medium sized machines.
This is easily my favorite set of this year. Everything about it is so beautiful and detailed. The building experience was incredible and it was a great price. I really hope that this set leads to more PlayStation X LEGO sets. I’d like to see them continue with the Horizon sets or come out with sets based on other game IPs. I think a Ratchet and Clank set would be cool and Uncharted doesn’t seem out of the picture (since LEGO has tackled more mature IPs like Overwatch, Stranger Things, and obviously Horizon). Though, The 2 IPs that I’d want them to do are The Last of Us and God of War; it’s probably never gonna happen since they are violent and mature games, but I think they would be great since both Ragnarök and the HBO series are releasing soon.
My dream set for years has been a Metal Gear REX with a bunch of MGS characters, but I know they wouldn't do it because of the M rating and how dead the franchise is.
My girlfriend is a massive horizon fan and she absolutely adored this set. She was so excited when it was announced and it did not disapoint, the build techniques are cool and the end result looks so good and so faithful
I really agree with the last point. They can make cheaper sets that are still great, yet lego seem to think adult equals big and expensive so insist on bigger and bigger. Kinda puts me off the hobby knowing that a lot of the decent stuff has an insane price, and even though if i really wanted, I could get most of them, it also becomes hard to justify spending so much on what are basically dust collecting models.
it is very rare though for a 100 set to be that satisfying for an adult. Most 100 $ ones are not that impressive for adults. And adults would prefer to have 1 big set that can display than 3 small ones that would be awkward next to each other. I think that Tallneck is an exception (there are some other exceptions but its not the rule).
I was blown away with this set when I saw it and bought it a few months ago, even after the NES and ? Cube, and it’s just great to see non-game players also liking it alot
@@TiagoCatarino Your vine piece might be too "stiff". I have (finally) got mine, and it holds fine, in whatever position I put it. Maybe just replace the vine piece?
Just built this set yesterday, it's incredible. Probably my favorite set since the Disney Castle. Just the fun of it tying in to a great Playstation game, it just feels so majestic overall. Pretty complex too. Incorporates some preI gotta agree the neck is one of my favorite elements too how the armor plates cascade down into the chest and the way it all fits together is so smart. The street light on mine is fine though, it doesn't swivel like that. But I had the head tilted too, just a click of adjustment on the legs and its correct.
I think my favorite moment in a game was discovering that the Tallneck head is supposed to be like the dish from an AWACs aircraft. This is a fantastic model and I really want one now
I used to build LEGO as a kid all the time, but basically stopped around the time I started high school. I saw the Tallneck set a few weeks ago and had to buy it, and I've now gone back to my parents house to find all my old LEGO boxes and sets and have fallen hard back in love with building. All thanks to this set c:
This was my first Lego set purchase. I’m 31 years old and have a hard time justifying some of the larger more expensive sets. I purchased this after watching your video several times, and I’m just thrilled with my decision. It was a really fun build and I think I’ve either itched a scratch…or created an addiction.
Never played the game (or even heard of it before), but I do love this set! To me, this is the perfect example of a set that looks amazing even if you don't care one bit about the source material. The one thing I don't like are obviously the stickers, but at this price point that's a forgivable flaw. One of the highlights of the year!
If you still haven't played the game and you have even a passing interest in video games - I highly recommend it, it's a masterpiece. Gameplay is fun, story is amazing, the world is mindblowingly beautiful.
@@GraHaz sounds good, but I'm already lacking time for building my Lego, so I better not start gaming again 😅 I have bought this set last weekend though...
3:50 exactly! I hope Lego realizes this soon because they're reaching way over into the extreme territory with their recent products. Modest collectors like me prefer some smaller sets; I'd rather display more items than larger items.
Man...I really reaally wish I wanted that set.....cause man it looks so beautiful.....but having never played "Horizon Forbidden West" I find myself apathetic towards it, even though mentally I think it is stellar.
Same. The set is amazing, but i only played the first horizon, not even half-way through. That game's not for me. I sure would love that set if i were a fan, especially with that outstanding minifig. If they released a Nier Automata one, however...
I really hope there will be more LEGO x Playstation sets! This is the one that really got me back into LEGO after many years. I wish this was the way of LEGO adult sets, and not those overpriced/oversized ones. Tiago, the review is amazing, however the leveling is hard to forgive 😁
I received this for Christmas (2023) and have just finished the build. Its even better than I'd hoped it would be and the construction techniques as excellent. The finished build looks so good, definitely one of the best Lego sets for the price. I'd also played HZD and so also appreciated all the details. Lego really knocked this one out of the park and I hope they produce other builds from this game franchise.
so glad i had watched this review before going to the store to buy a lego set. it was a hard choice between this and the vespa set but ultimately i came to the conclusion of taking home the tallneck. it was such a pleasant experience to build all the way from start to end. and as a student it was at an affordable price. i will definitely be putting it up for display!
Completed yesterday. Amazing overall look to build, fits perfectly on my display cabinet. Agree the mini figure is so detailed, beautiful design, very happy with purchase.
Oh Yes. When i saw this one on the internet i was instantly inlove. I have it for few months and its gorgeus! Street lamp problem was an easy fix with a little change of a cable flow.
I spent new years eve building this set with my son. It was a lot of fun, and my favorite I've built to date. The detail on Aloy blew me away. I really hope for more Horizon themed sets, I'd buy them all.
Just bought one after I learned it's retiring this year and I definitely don't regret it ! It simply looks amazing, the lego bricks fully serve the "mechanical parts" vibe of the horizon series, the aloy minifig is extremely cute and detailed, and the size is perfect (big enough to catch the eye but small enough to not require a specific stand or anything) It's the first Lego set I bought in years as well as my first adult-oriented set ever, and I love it so much (in bonus, I got it new at only 60 dollars, which is a steal)
Huh, that issue with the traffic lights post is odd! I've not seen anyone mention it before and my own copy of the set doesn't have anything like it either. Maybe it's the alignment of the swirly twirly vine? Idk, it's intriguing though! I've never played the horizon games (though I'm planning to... and have been for the last 3 years at least :P) but this was a day 1 for me! So glad I got it right away cuz otherwise it might've dropped down the priority list in favor of some other releases like the Hydro Bounty which I only got last month and regret not getting much earlier. The tallneck is just an insane set tbh, it just doesn't look like a lego model from a few metres distance.
The price I feel isn't that big of a plus considering the stock situation. I tried to get mine day one because I figured it wasn't going to be hugely popular, and Lego thought so too since my local LEGO store only got a couple in and were sold out in 45 minutes or so, before I even got through the line (it was also release day for a ton of star wars sets) I had to scour different stores/websites for several weeks before I even got the chance to order one. However if it becomes more abundant over time as long as it stays at that price it'll be good. But I suspect given other merchandise of the series, it'll only appear secondhand at a huge markup.
@2:40 if you remove the cable thingy from the top, twist it clockwise half a turn and put it back on, the internal torsion make sure it stays in place and you can have it exactly as in the instructions.
Just finished it last night - the head was also slightly unlevel for me but after reading through the helpful tips here I was able to fix mine. Also wanted to point out that prior to building the set, the comments in the video about the traffic light put me on alert, but when I got to that part of the build I didn't have any issue with getting the traffic light to face the right direction. Not sure if it was an issue with the flexible piece in Tiago's set, but mine doesn't constantly snap back the way that is shown in the video.
I really want this set but local stores has been sold out before the price increase. they only had limited stock and went off shelf because they had 15% off. They said they will honour it when new stock arrives but now with the price increase not sure if they keep this promise.
This is my first Lego set I love Horizon I saw it and had to buy it. Really fun to build and love having it on my shelf on display! I need to buy some more sets before this I only ever had lose lego peices when I was a kid.
Never even heard of this game but Amazon delivered this to my address and doesn't want it returned so it looks like I'm making it. Can't beat FREE Lego's! 👍
Love the set and the IP. I even got the light my bricks LED upgrade for it. It's probably a one off set but I do wish they would make more from the game
I picked this set up recently as I finally found it in stock. Still have yet to build it as I have quite a backlog now. But was excited to get it and I’m looking forward to starting it.
Tallnecks were first seen in Horizon Zero Dawn, the sequel is Forbidden West, just for clarification. Also, just out of curiosity, what type of education is required to work for lego's design department? Or what was your experience when you applied and the interviewing/portfolio reviewing process?
Obviously not who you wanted to answer, but as someone who has looked into this seriously myself, lego themselves say that education in product design (specifically toys) is preferred, but is not necessary if your portfolio is good enough. There is a fair bit of information online if you want to look into it further, good luck!
I’m a huge fan of Horizon Zero Dawn so this was an instant purchase. Considering picking up another just to keep in the box. If I can find it. Love the review!
The traffic light works just fine, Tiago probably needs to try wrapping the vine around it again. Source: I've had the LEGO Set for months, and the light sits perfectly.
I bought this set a month ago. This is my first LEGO set since my childhood (~15ish years). I had a ton of fun assembling it - it took me about 6 hours (two evenings) to finish it. During the process I also remembered why I didn't get into miniature modelling - my neck hurts sooo much while you are crooked behind the table looking at all these small pieces trying to fit them together :D
I haven't even played Horizon, I haven't bought a Lego set for myself...ever, and yet here I am, actualy considering getting this once I have some spare cash, haha
I can't recommend this set enough, beautiful display piece and perfect price, and as a big fan of the game it was an easy buy for me. Wish they'd make more of them from the game, I'd be all in! Thanks for the review.
I can't express well enough how thrilled I am that you use the term "Kragle." Ever since the movie was released I always refer to the (abhorrible) act of gluing LEGO together as "Kragle."
i have never played this game but whoaaaaaa the design of the creature is very cool and this set looks awesome. i might pick one up just because of how nice it looks. i do wish the joints could pose though.
Im so excited to build this set. Already got it today, got it for like 20% off, since nobody in the area I’m in, cares for Horizon. And boy am I excited to come back home and build it. Just two more days and I get to build this absolute masterpiece.
The traffic light issue is strange. Mine has plenty of grip to be be displayed like on the box. Also, if you shift the leg joints a bit, it will stand up straight just like on the box.
Weird, the issues you have with the traffic light. Mine stays in place, and I can place it in any direction that it will stay there. Maybe some small defect in the size of one of the parts in the traffic light base that makes them too loose.
On top, you can find this set at a sizeable discount basicly all the time here in Europe. You should have no problem buying it for 70€, which IMO is a great deal!
LOL, You did it wrong :D the Head has to be perfectly HORIZONTAL (pun accidental :) - its a AWACS radar, it wont work properly at an angle. You can achieve it only by rotating entire body using the upper leg joints - it actually took me some time to find proper configuration and it should be better explained in the manual :)
I just built this yesterday, and I gotta say, it's interesting how they snuck in a potentially illegal building technique. Blink and you'll miss it, but if you look carefully during the process, you'll see where some pieces need to be forced a little to fit in. Hint: it's in the head.
I MESSED UP LEVELLING THE HEAD 😭
I feel like redoing the whole review... 😭
Don't
Just make a Short with the explanation how to set it properly - fix the LEGO manual :D
In the disruption, you typed 76979, and it is 76989. Love this build btw!
Can it be levelled properly? It seems always either facing a bit down, or a bit up.
Is is only me or did you also felt like there is a weird tension between the bricks when building the part of the Tallneck's head, I think it was around the 257 step in the instruction. It felt like an illegal connection is being made there and the bricks don't have enough space. So far I did not see anybody mention it and it felt really annoying during the assembly.

Jep, bigger is not always better :)
Another problem with Bigger and More expensive sets is that they eat up a TON of space.
yep. the only really big sets that I have (that I mean when people see them they think they’re cool) are the galaxy explorer and the jazz band.
Yes I’m agree with you. Some set are too expensive to buy and too big to show on shelf

@@aonodensetsu sunwing. And it could feature a spoiler character that helped Aloy get the sunwing override.

The Horizon machines really lend themselv to the idea of Lego with their desgin. I would love if Lego did an entire line.
Same I love both the games

a fix for the hose around the traffic light: dip it in hot water, coil it for a about 20 seconds until cool. it will stay coiled up FOREVER ;)
This saved my set thank you
Twist the vine 180 degrees before attaching the other end and it won't turn the traffic light.

I can't recommend this set enough, beautiful display piece and perfect price, and as a big fan of the game it was an easy buy for me. Wish they'd make more of them from the game, I'd be all in! Thanks for the review.
Just make a short for the head correction and it'll be fine ! 👌
I'm 12 and i built this set the day i got it. An AMAZING build
00:35 for a second there I thought you were the Lego designer (you and Issac at a glance have a very similar look)!
I picked this up to tell LEGO this is what we want more of.
I can't express well enough how thrilled I am that you use the term "Kragle." Ever since the movie was released I always refer to the (abhorrible) act of gluing LEGO together as "Kragle."
i have never played this game but whoaaaaaa the design of the creature is very cool and this set looks awesome. i might pick one up just because of how nice it looks. i do wish the joints could pose though.
Im so excited to build this set. Already got it today, got it for like 20% off, since nobody in the area I’m in, cares for Horizon. And boy am I excited to come back home and build it. Just two more days and I get to build this absolute masterpiece.
Can you cover the black panther sets?
This kind of reminds me of Girafarig, my favorite Pokemon, because of the spikes on the neck and the thing on the tail.
I would love a thunder jaw next.
The traffic light issue is strange. Mine has plenty of grip to be be displayed like on the box. Also, if you shift the leg joints a bit, it will stand up straight just like on the box.
Yo even if its once in a blue moon they DEFINITELY need to do more adult sets based off classic games or even movies etc
I got mine on sale at Wal-Mart. Can't wait to build it.
I did not have that issue with the traffic light being displaced because of the long string piece
Just a nice looking set. Built a modified watcher.
Weird, the issues you have with the traffic light. Mine stays in place, and I can place it in any direction that it will stay there.
Maybe some small defect in the size of one of the parts in the traffic light base that makes them too loose.
Wish it was more poseable but it’s still a great display piece
I’d love to hear you review old sets you made. Half as a gag and half what you wish you would have done in retrospect.
Just got this today off Amazon, hoping to build it soon
I haven't had that problem with my tallneck set with the traffic light
I didn’t have any issues with the stop light that’s strange maybe just try messing with it more!
Stuff like this makes me want more of my favourite video games in lego
Being a Horizon fan, I hope Lego works with Guerrilla more. Imagine a Tremortusk in Lego.
On top, you can find this set at a sizeable discount basicly all the time here in Europe.
You should have no problem buying it for 70€, which IMO is a great deal!
Really nice set. Thanks for the review!👍
Thanks for watching!
That sucks about the traffic light and vine, mine didn’t do that at all
Thank you for your video!❤❤ Its a great recommendation.
Just a minor correction (not the first time I heard someone say it) I would've said the Horizon games. Tallnecks are in both games.
I didn't realize when I first watched but this video came out the same day I bought this set
Really would love them to do a Thunderjaw or Ravager
If they make the thunder jaw I'll buy both no questions asked!
To quote Bobby Duke, I want that.
I loved your review! very weird i didnt have any issues with the traffic light at all
Huh, I’ve had this set since May and never had any issues with the traffic light.
Nice set, reverse the hose position :)
I waited so long for this review, thought it would never come.
Bro like the coolest lego set of the year, I love Horizon
Imagine building this and your parents decide to move houses the next day lol
For a guy, who played in both Horizon games, this pack is... awesome.
Move the leg hinges by 1 click. That should level the head 😉
Have you tried using thin teflon tape (the kind used for plumbing) to add slight friction to the pieces to keep the traffic light from turning?
got it on release, i love horizon
LOL, You did it wrong :D the Head has to be perfectly HORIZONTAL (pun accidental :) - its a AWACS radar, it wont work properly at an angle. You can achieve it only by rotating entire body using the upper leg joints - it actually took me some time to find proper configuration and it should be better explained in the manual :)
OMG you're totally right!!! Now I feel like I have to redo the whole thing!!!!
@@TiagoCatarino It was really bothering me in my set and took way to much time to figure it out :D
I just built this yesterday, and I gotta say, it's interesting how they snuck in a potentially illegal building technique. Blink and you'll miss it, but if you look carefully during the process, you'll see where some pieces need to be forced a little to fit in.
Hint: it's in the head.
I actually have seen it and was pretty surprised
