The first officially licensed brick-building for the The Elder Scrolls franchise is back in stock at Amazon. Created by Mega Bloks and originally released last November, the Skyrim-themed collector set lets fans build an posable display model of Alduin The World Eater. The 627-piece kit is affordably priced at just $50, which likely contributed to its popularity at launch.
This is one of three Mega Bloks sets based on Bethesda’s role-playing games that hit store shelves in November. The other two building kits are themed around Fallout and were similarly challenging to find in stock over the holidays and earlier this year.
$50
Mega’s Alduin dragon building set is comprised of 619 pieces. The completed model is quite impressive considering the budget-friendly price. Alduin has an appropriately intimidating wingspan of 25.5 inches. Though this is a brick-building set, Mega utilized cloth for the wings, which gives it a more realistic appearance.
Alduin is essentially a buildable action figure with articulated joints. You can open Alduin’s mouth to make it look like he’s using Fire or Frost Breath, adjust his legs, and twist his wings to make it appear as if the god-king is about to take flight. The buildable flight stand has an adjustable lever that helps create additional poses. A Skyrim logo plaque attaches to the front of the stand.
Alduin was the ruler of Skyrim throughout the Merethic Era. The legendary dragon has multiple nicknames, but Mega opted to go with Alduin’s best-known “World Eater” moniker.
The set also comes with a Dragonborn figure that is fittingly small in comparison. That said, the player-character figure is fairly detailed in its own right. Dovah-Kiin comes with multiple removable accessories, including the signature helmet from Skyrim, a sword, and chest armor.

Fans of Bethesda RPGs should also check out the restocked Mega Bloks sets based on the Fallout series. The T-60 Power Armor Collection released in November but sold out shortly after preorders opened last summer. This Amazon-exclusive kit includes five Power Armor action figures with designs and color schemes pulled from Fallout 4:
- Vault-Tec
- Brotherhood of Steel Paladin
- Rusted
- Hot Rod Flames
- Military
The Power Armor Collection is more of a miniature action figure set than a building kit, but you will piece together five rigs that serve as display stands. Each of the figures can hold a small accessory such as a bottle of Nuka Cola Dark, a shotgun, or an issue of Hot Rodder Magazine.
$80
There is a larger Fallout Mega Bloks set with a more elaborate building process. Just like the two kits above, the 824-piece model of the Red Rocket Truck Stop released in November but sold out well before launch.
The ramshackle truck stop itself utilizes most of the pieces, but this kit also comes with a Sole Survivor figure, T60 Power Armor figure and buildable rig stand, Dogmeat the Dog, a Nuka Cola vending machine, and other accessories like a tiny Pip Boy figure.
You could display the T60 Power Armor figure alongside the five from the other set, or all six figures could take over the truck stop.
