LEGO and Horizon Fans Rejoice!

Get ready, LEGO and Horizon fans! Just in time to ride the wave of excitement following this month’s launch of LEGO Horizon Adventures, the iconic Danish brick company has announced a thrilling new set that will delight both collectors and gamers alike. Scheduled for release on March 1, 2025, this set brings back the beloved character Aloy and her companion Varl, while adding some fearsome new foes from the popular video game franchise.

Introducing the New Set

The upcoming set, titled LEGO Horizon Adventures: Aloy & Varl vs. Shell-Walker & Sawtooth (77037), features an impressive 768 pieces. It's designed around an exhilarating jungle battle scene where players will witness Aloy and Varl, equipped with their trusty bow and spear, facing off against a menacing Shell-Walker—the crab-like, transport class machine—and the nimble, powerful Sawtooth, a staple from the original Horizon Zero Dawn game.

Detailed Design Features

In terms of design, the Shell-Walker boasts posable legs and arms, as well as opening claws and a detachable cargo pod complete with an energy shield. Meanwhile, the Sawtooth offers fully articulated joints, opening jaws, and a rotating torso, allowing for dynamic poses that can recreate thrilling action sequences straight from the games.

Interconnectivity with Previous Sets

While this new set is play-focused, enthusiasts will be eager to integrate the new Shell-Walker and Sawtooth models with the previously released Horizon Forbidden West: Tallneck set (76989) from May 2022, which has since been retired but remains a fan favorite. Although LEGO has not confirmed whether the new models align in scale with the Tallneck, many signs suggest they do, creating exciting possibilities for custom builds. Just be mindful, the base of the Tallneck is quite small, so you'll need to get creative with your setup!

Pre-Order Details

The LEGO Horizon Adventures: Aloy & Varl vs. Shell-Walker & Sawtooth set is available for pre-order starting today, November 18, at an enticing price of $44.99 (or approx. £39.99/€44.99). This price is notably reasonable and falls below the average 10 cents per piece benchmark, likely due to the absence of larger bricks in this set. Plus, it's not a LEGO exclusive, meaning savvy shoppers may find even better deals at other retailers when it officially drops.

Conclusion

Don't miss out on this epic addition to your LEGO collection—prepare for battle in a world where creativity and adventure collide! Get ready to build, play, and unleash your imagination in the breathtaking landscape of Horizon!
