"With a BrickScore of 86 and an extraordinary 4,265 owners averaging 4.9 out of 5 with 97 percent recommending it, the Tallneck stands as one of the most unambiguously successful licensed display sets LEGO has produced, delivering faithful game accuracy, creative building techniques, and strong value at $0.074 per piece."
The Horizon Forbidden West Tallneck (76989) is among the most owner-validated sets in this batch, with 4,265 ratings averaging 4.9 out of 5 and 97 percent of LEGO.com buyers saying they would recommend it. Reviewers and owners aligned tightly: the set delivers exceptional display presence, strong verticality rarely seen in LEGO, and impressive accuracy to the source game. The Aloy minifigure, the overgrown-ruin base with its Watcher and birch tree, and the overall scale proportionality are consistently praised. The only recurrent criticisms are some repetition due to the ship's symmetry, a few stickers, and occasional instruction clarity issues in a small number of steps.
