Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

“While Horizon Forbidden West takes great leaps in its visual and story presentation, it stays the path with its gameplay, making small but notable additions that improve the experience.”

One of the most recognisable machines in the world of Horizon Forbidden West is the tallneck: a large robotic dinosaur-like construction that roams the wilderness of the former United States.
With a disc-shaped head and long, slim legs, the tallnecks can be spotted from far away and can be climbed to survey the local area in the game.
The model includes a display stand with foliage and a rusty stoplight, plus, a minifigure of the main character, Aloy. There’s also another robotic creature known as a “watcher” with a choice of blue, yellow or red eyes that can be switched out.
The tallneck Lego kit is set was released in May 2022 and can be purchased from the official Lego website (£69.99, Lego.com) subject to availability. It’s out of stock already, but you can sign up to be notified on its return. The good news is that there are sets also being sold at Smyths Toys (£69.99, Smythstoys.com) with home delivery.
