Early read · 0 reviews
The Tallneck's circular neck and prehistoric-meets-machine design translates to LEGO® better than anyone had a right to expect, and at $89.99 for 1222 pieces it's one of the rare licensed sets where the price doesn't sting.
Is the price fair?A+One of the better-priced licensed sets in recent memory — $89.99 for this much model is rare.
Will you love it?Cn/a
Holds its value?BSteady B-grade hold — won't skyrocket, but licensed Icons sets with strong source IP tend to age quietly well.
The Full Take
Horizon Forbidden West was always a visual game, and LEGO® leaned into that — the Tallneck's towering silhouette reads immediately on a shelf even if you've never touched the game. The build captures the organic-mechanical tension of the machine: layered greebling on the neck, that wide satellite dish crown, legs that feel weirdly alive. Two minifigs ship with it, which is fine, but the model itself is the whole argument here. At $89.99 this lands as one of the more fairly priced licensed sets of its year — not a trick, just a good deal. The score settles at a B because the parts selection is somewhat utilitarian and the play pattern is thin, but as a display object it punches above its price. If Horizon is your world, this is a no-brainer; if it isn't, the model is still interesting enough to earn shelf space on design alone.
