Target’s Exclusive Shadow The Hedgehog Lego Set Is Discounted Just Weeks After Its Release
If you spent your weekend playing Sonic X Shadow Generations and want to hang out with the Ultimate Life Form indefinitely, one option is to build him in your home laboratory out of Lego bricks. The recently released Shadow the Hedgehog Lego display set is already on sale at Target for the first time. You can get Lego Shadow the Hedgehog for only $59.49 (was $70) this week while supplies last. And this is a deal that definitely could sell out due to the newly released game and upcoming Sonic 3 movie. This deal existing at all is pretty surprising, as the Shadow the Hedgehog set just launched on October 1 for $70.
Exclusive to Target and the Lego Store, Shadow is the second Sonic the Hedgehog Lego display model for adults. You could argue it’s technically the first, because the Green Hill Zone display model was released under the Lego Ideas umbrella at the beginning of 2022, well before the official Sonic series debuted in August last year.

Once fully built, the 720-piece Shadow the Hedgehog Lego set is 8 x 7 x 8.5 inches. While it’s not a massive display model–the eight-inch height includes the stand–it’s certainly one of the more budget-friendly Lego model kits based on a video game that’s geared toward adults.
It also has multiple Easter eggs, including a Chaos Emerald, several well-known objects from Sega’s long-running series, and a few other nods to Sonic lore. Lego’s age rating is 18-plus on this set, but kids with experience building the various Star Wars and Marvel helmet models should have no problem piecing this together.
The age rating likely has more to do with it being designed for display. Plus, it’s based on Shadow’s 2001 debut in Sonic Adventure 2 for Sega Dreamcast. Chances are most kids who like the Sonic movies and recent games probably aren’t familiar with Sonic Adventure 2 (or even the Dreamcast).
Shadow has also appeared in a couple of Sonic the Hedgehog playsets as a Lego minifigure, including this one that comes with a motorcycle. You can check out a full list of Sonic Lego sets below–many of them are discounted right now.

Amazon has some terrific deals on other Lego Sonic building kits, including Amy’s Animal Rescue Island for only $29 (was $50), the aforementioned Lego Ideas Green Hill Zone display model for $69.59 (was $80), and Dr. Eggman’s Death Egg Robot for $48 (was $60). You can pair your big Shadow the Hedgehog set with a Shadow minifigure and his motorcycle for only $16 (was $20).

If you haven’t picked up Sonic X Shadow Generations, which includes a remaster of Sonic Generations and a brand-new campaign starring Shadow, you can buy a physical edition for Nintendo Switch, PS5, or Xbox Series X for $50. Just like the Shadow Lego set, the physical version includes a manual detailing how to build Shadow as a launch bonus (while supplies last). Well, it’s actually a replica of Professor Gerald Robotnik’s journal. Chances are you’ll build the Shadow Lego set much faster than it took Robotnik to design Shadow.
Meanwhile, PC players can get the game for even less than it’s already budget $50 price. Fanatical is selling Sonic X Shadow Generations Steam keys for $43.49. Alternatively, you can grab the Digital Deluxe Edition for $52.19 (was $60) and get some neat extras, including multiple skins and a digital soundtrack and art book.
Shadow will be played by Keanu Reeves in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which is set to premiere in theaters on December 20. If you want to rewatch the first two movies and Paramount’s Knuckles miniseries, which takes place between the second and third films, Amazon has collectible steelbook editions for cheap, including a two-movie steelbook collection on 4K Blu-ray for only $25, which is half the price of the first Sonic movie’s 4K steelbook edition on its own at Amazon right now.
