I would! It's like a Lego small-plates menu -- each of the plants builds up quickly. I put them together a couple at a time over the past week, while unwinding from work.
On your accommodation, I may have ran to target and picked this up. I may have built it. I may have put it pn a shelf on the new floor lamp in my living room.
I just ordered the Horizon Tallneck set. This is one I've had my eye on for a long time -- I think I had just finished my first playthrough of HZD when it was first announced -- and will be the biggest Lego set I've ever built. 
Has anyone here tried any of the lighting kits for it? This set seems like a great candidate for lighting, but cable management has never been my strong suit and the reviews I've looked up make it sound like there are a lot of delicate wires involved.

Such a good set. 
I added a lighting kit to mine (from Light My Bricks). There are a number of different vendors/styles out there, but I liked their alternating colors and spotlights. Wire management was not too bad, some of the wires are visible but I feel it adds to the aesthetic. I would suggest buying some USB on/off switches, it makes it easier to manage and reduces stress on the wires.
I just finished the Tallneck!
That was a lot of fun. I'm impressed with the level of detail -- the design is really true to the games. Now I just need to figure out where to put it on display.
I want that stupid tower but have no place to put it.

Same. Maybe, if the eye was bright enough to light up the room, I could replace a lamp with it. It's basically the same size.
I want to want Barad-Dur more than I do. I don't know if it's because it's just so black, or because I kinda want it to be taller, and the proportions feel weird. I get that there's nothing they could really do about it being all black, but it's not giving me that same "I must has this" vibe that Rivendell did.
I still have my eye on Rivendell if I can ever swing it at a good discounted price, but as much as I love the look of Barad-Dur it's just... I dunno, it just isn't that compelling to me.
They're making a Lego Horizon game and I'm 100% there for it. I can only hope they put out another set to go with it that as good as the Tallneck.
