There Better Damn Well be a LEGO Thunderjaw After This
Summer Gamefest went down on Friday and we got a bunch of trailers for new video games. I might share the ones I really liked over the coming days, but one trailer stood out for one very particular and important reason.
And that reasons is that I want a LEGO Thunderjaw from the Horizon: Zero Dawn game series.
They’re making a LEGO Horizon game! LEGO Horizon Adventures is going to take Aloy, her allies and her enemies and put them into a LEGO version of their world for normal LEGO gameplay. That’s awesome. That’s great. But that also means someone somewhere has gone to the trouble of virtually building all of Horizon’s robotic dinosaurs out of LEGO.
So surely this means these virtual designs can be transferred over to actual, physical brick designs, right?!
We’ve already got the LEGO Tallneck. It’s a thing of true beauty. I bought it the first day it came out and loved building it. But that’s the only LEGO set we’ve gotten from the Horizons series so far, despite all of those beautiful robo dinosaurs. But this new game has a LEGO Thunderjaw prominently in the trailer. So LEGO better damn well make us a LEGO Thunderjaw set!
Shut up and take my money!

Look at This Big, Beautiful LEGO Boy!
I’ve reached a point in my love of LEGO that seeing a good set can take my breathe away. Such was the case with this new LEGO Tallneck set from Horizon Zero Dawn, a really awesome video game for the Playstation. Just look at this big, beautiful boy!
So much detail, so much perfection, so many little accessories; this thing is a work of art. It helps that I absolutely loved the Horizon Zero Dawn game and can’t wait to play the sequel, Horizon Forbidden West, which comes out today. The game isn’t a day-one buy, but I will immediately snatch up this LEGO set when it comes out at the end of May.
I’m just amazed at the level of detail and the finely designed pieces. It’s just so damn beautiful! And it’s only going to set me back $80, which isn’t half bad. Now I just gotta be patient and snag a box when the time is right!

Holy Cow, It’s Our First Look at the New Horizon Game!
Yesterday was the Playstation 5’s big debut, showing off the console itself and multiple games. I was super-excited at the reveal of the next Spider-Man game starring Miles Morales…but developers have since explained that it won’t be a full sequel. Spider-Man: Miles Morales is instead an enhanced edition of the regular Spider-Man game with some added Miles Morales content. Darn.
So while that is a bit of a let down, our first look at Horizon Forbidden West looks legit!
Horizon Zero Dawn was an amazing game and one of the first I played when I splurged on a PS4 a couple years ago. It’s a massive sandbox game, which I will, with excellent gameplay and cool characters. We all knew a sequel was coming, and it looks great! Forbidden West looks to expand upon the world in an obvious way, with a new story about some sort of plague.
Looks damn good! Until tomorrow, when we’ll probably find out it’s just a remastered and enhanced edition of the first game…
