Description

A vehicle built for a bird of prey

Legends of Chima follows animal tribes fighting over a magical energy source called CHI, and the Vulture tribe sits among the story's darker, more villainous factions. Vultrix's Sky Scavenger reflects that role clearly: sharp, angular wings and a jagged silhouette replace the rounder shapes seen on friendlier Chima vehicles, giving the model the look of a bird of prey mid-dive. At 480 pieces, it sits in a medium size bracket, with enough parts for a genuinely detailed aircraft without stretching the build unnecessarily long. For fans of the theme, it's one of the sets that leans into Chima's darker storyline.

174 parts shaping the wings

The set includes 174 different part types, putting it among the more detailed builds of its size. Curved wings and an irregular aircraft silhouette need far more specialised shapes than a straightforward ground vehicle, including angled bricks and curved connector pieces. The parts list on this page sets out every one of these elements individually, making it easy to see how much of the part count goes purely into the wing structure.

A dark colour scheme for a predator

Black and dark bluish grey make up the bulk of the Sky Scavenger, with light bluish grey adding contrast and transparent light blue elements suggesting energy or glass. That dark palette sets the vehicle clearly apart from the earthier or green-toned sets used by other Chima tribes, matching the Vulture tribe's threatening presence in the story. The colour breakdown on this page is a useful reference for anyone wanting matching dark tones for further Chima builds.

Three figures for aerial scenes

Three minifigures come with the set, turning the Sky Scavenger into more than a static model: paired with other Chima vehicles, it's well suited to chases or dogfights in the air. At 480 pieces, the build stays within reach for a child tackling their first winged vehicle. The combination of a distinctive shape and a manageable part count makes this one of the more eye-catching vehicles in the Chima range.
