Description

A scout from the Ice Hunter storyline

Vardy belongs to the Vulture tribe in Legends of Chima, a faction that sides with Sir Fangar's Ice Hunters in the show's second wave to raid the other tribes across Chima. As a winged character, Vardy typically appears as a fast scout rather than a heavily armoured frontline fighter, and a nimble flying vehicle fits that role better than a slow, heavily built ground machine would. The 2014 set leans into that idea with a compact glider built for speed rather than sheer size.

Why a glider rather than a walker

Many Chima vehicles are built as bulky walkers with articulated legs and heavy weapon arrays, but this set takes a different route with a slim, winged shape designed to look fast rather than imposing. That choice sets it apart from the larger legged vehicles in the same theme and makes it a useful contrast piece for anyone who already owns bigger Chima walkers and wants a flying model to go alongside them.

A high part variety for a flyer

With 96 distinct parts across 217 pieces total, the set has a fairly wide range of element shapes for its size, which is typical of flying vehicles that need several differently angled wing, connector and detail pieces rather than repeating a handful of basic bricks. Going through the full parts list on this page turns up a number of specialised shaped elements alongside the standard bricks, useful if you're looking for parts to reuse in other aircraft or creature builds.

Rock and ice in one colour scheme

The colour palette of dark bluish grey, reddish brown, trans-light blue and black combines the rocky, weathered look common to many Chima vehicles with cool, icy accents in the translucent blue elements. That mix of solid and transparent colours is characteristic of the Ice Hunter faction's vehicles, and it keeps the glider instantly identifiable as part of that icy alliance when displayed alongside other Chima sets.
