Description

A driller built around two claws

The set takes its name from two large claw-shaped drill attachments at the front of the vehicle, which rotate and give the machine the look of a digging or fighting creature rather than a plain vehicle. The bodywork is mostly white and light grey, with dark grey technical detailing that suits the icy setting of Chima's frozen territories. Skis in place of conventional wheels reinforce the idea that this vehicle is built for snow and ice rather than ordinary terrain.

Four minifigures from the ice faction

Four minifigures come with the set, likely drawn from the bear or wolf factions that play a central role in the Legends of Chima storyline of this period. Combined with the vehicle, that is enough for a self-contained scene, suited equally to a clash with a rival faction or to a quieter exploration scene across the ice. Weapons and a few smaller accessories give the figures extra equipment for either kind of scene.

From wheels to skis

Swapping wheels for skis is a detail that sets this vehicle apart from most other sets covered on this page, which mostly rely on conventional wheeled movement. Combined with the largely white colour scheme, it makes the Claw Driller a set built consistently around one idea: cold and ice. That focus should appeal particularly to anyone assembling a winter or ice-themed diorama and looking for a vehicle that fits the setting.

Parts for ice and vehicle builds

194 distinct part types make up the set's 629 pieces, a solid range for a vehicle set of this size. The parts list on this page includes plenty of white and light grey panel pieces well suited to snow or ice landscapes, along with the distinctive claw pieces that rarely appear in this shape elsewhere. Anyone after those specific parts for a winter-themed build is likely to find them here before turning to a similar set.
