What can I build with it?

Description

A hovercraft for two

At the heart of the set is a small vehicle that dispenses with wheels and seems to float in mid-air. With the two minifigures you can stage chases in which one figure pilots the hunter while the other is hot on its trail. The model is kept small on purpose, so it is easy to glide across the room with one hand. For children who grew up with the Ninjago series it adds a quick, nimble option to the larger vehicles and buildings in their collection.

Grey hardware, red glow

Light bluish grey and black form the foundation and give the hunter its sober, technical look. Trans-red elements add what look like glowing engines or warning lights, and a silvery tone covers the metal parts. The parts list on this page shows 45 different elements in only 79 pieces. That is a strikingly high share, meaning almost every second piece has its own shape. Mixes like this are exactly what you want when you later start designing vehicles of your own.

The building experience

The build is over quickly, yet the large number of distinct parts asks for a little attention while sorting. Small specialist pieces decide the look here, such as panels and wing elements that hold on the hull with only a few studs. Putting it together teaches you how to keep a slender shape stable with few connection points. The finished model is light enough to swoop around without bits dropping off, and it leaves enough room for both figures.

Collect it or rebuild it

The Hover Hunter was released by LEGO® in 2014 and today turns up mostly second-hand. Fans of the theme use it to extend what they already own, while tinkerers treat it as a parts donor for their own hovercraft. The “What can I build?” tool on this page shows which other models you can make from these pieces and your collection. Check the parts list before buying a used copy, so none of the many single-shape elements go missing.
