HoganPrime Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Samurai Mech It's the original modern Mecha. It's also the beefiest in recent memory, and takes the cake as one of the most stunningly stylized sets of the entire line. And yes, the alternate version of the Samurai Mech in the Titan Mech Battle, the Mech-enstein, absolutely pales in comparison. I have my samurai x mech standing side by side with the frankenmech, they look fantastic together. The shelf below has the main four ninja mechs together, annoyingly I don't have the golden mech yet so I'm always on the lookout. I really loved it in the show when the four ninjas were travelling up the mountain to the floaty island realm and each one was in their respective mech (plus Zane in a new one) I enjoyed the callback to the older ones as if they have a garage somewhere full of their old vehicles Quote
makoy Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 I wonder if they scales it correctly with the Samurai Mech. I'm impressed with the amount of detail they put in the Samurai Cave set but I am hoping Nya won't be exclusive to this set for so long... Otherwise it will be the only way to get her in the new ninja garb. Quote

By the looks of things from pictures the old sx mech won't fit height wise, but I guess could be placed in the centre area with no problems as it isn't constricted by a ceiling. This set will go on my coffee table, I am seriously running out of space in my apartment. I think my star destroyer needs to be taken apart and space created for something new Quote
DraikNova Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Having just seen it, I think it looks very well-designed, but not particularly interesting. That tr. neon green Snake Staff though. Quote

I like all the little bits and pieces like those small vehicles... I have a small dish on my coffee table with the special weapons from each series in it., its like OCD I love having all the weapons in one place, so I have to have these green ones Quote

I noticed that when I saw the small mech and realised it's smaller than I expected. It still looks well designed but other than Nya, I don't have any compelling reason to buy it apart from making a MOC out of it.... probably won't stay assembled if I ever buy it. Quote
Master_Data Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 It looks like an average set. I'll have to get a better look at Nya and the Samurai X suit before making any decisions. Quote
HoganPrime Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 It looks like an average set. I'll have to get a better look at Nya and the Samurai X suit before making any decisions. Its a tan bat cave, nothing wrong with that, but yeah it won't be a long term display set like the lighthouse or ToA. But we'll see, who knows. I'm optimistic Quote
azog Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 This set does sound like a pretty nice set, and looks like one too! , looks like another $120 jumping out of my wallet Quote
SKYGOAT Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 "X CAVE" looks beautiful. i am excited. is it august yet!? Quote
---Vertea--- Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 kinda looks like pythor's staff is... trans green? Digging what I see so far. Quote
gamejutzu Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Okay, here's a question for you guys, ninjago has had a number of vehicles and buildings and it seems that people generally love the temple of fire and temple of airjitsu. So, what individual ninja vehicle is the threads favourite? I say individual because I don't want to include vehicles like destiny's bounty as they are larger vehicles that are more group vehicles. For me, I love the ninjacopter, the design and size plus play features make it really cool. Foe me, i'm split. My favorites are the Ice Spider, the Snowmobile, or the Tread Assault. The Ice Spider isn't canon but it still looks cool. I like how it's a mechanized crawler- I don't see that too often. I also liked how it used those Bionicle-looking pieces. I'd say the Snowmobile isn't as cool looking though. However, the Snowmobile was the most used vehicle in the Year of The Snakes season, and Zane definitely puts it to good use there XD The Tread Assault however, takes the cake for set design. I really liked it's spike and rollover functions and was genuinely surprised when it fell off my table, landed on it's wheels, and turned the cockpit to face upwards (it's how I found out it could do that). All these are in my top three, but I can't decide whether I think the Tread or the Snowmobile is cooler.. Edited April 26, 2016 by gamejutzu Quote

Ninja of Fire Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) And now I know where all my money will be used on this Summer... EDIT: Have you noticed how there are no images of 70588 or 70596? Edited April 26, 2016 by Ninja of Fire Quote
HoganPrime Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 These images I just realised are available on brickapedia today as well Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted April 26, 2016 Author Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Did anyone else notice Samukai and Morro on the back of the Cole's Vehicles box down on the TV thino in the bottom right corner of the Box Also the way the Ultra Raider 2.0 divides up and the front flips up with the wheel. Ahhhhhh there all soooo cooll!! Edit: Lord Garmadon trading card in the lighthouse seige. Edited April 26, 2016 by LegendsOfNinjago Quote
benderisgreat Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 This pictures made me want Lighthouse Siege and Kryptarium breakout sets even more! Both of these sets look so awesome! Quote
PenPlays Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Did anyone else notice Samukai and Morro on the back of the Cole's Vehicles box down on the TV thino in the bottom right corner of the Box Unfortunately on the list of... Ghost weapon... thingies?... the blade that Morro is holding isn't listed. I suspect see a similar release for product for the Winter 2017 wave as we are seeing this Summer. And just in case I hadn't already spoken my thoughts, I need that Lighthouse in my life!!! Edited April 26, 2016 by Penkid11 Quote

Ahhhhhh there all soooo cooll!! Edit: Lord Garmadon trading card in the lighthouse seige. yeah I also noticed them. It's strange that these 2 bad guys don't appear in any sets this wave, especially Samukai since his last appearance was 5 years ago. Still I have to say I'm not thrilled by idea of villains uniting against ninja as a next season story. This just screams desperatation , as if show writers ran out of ideas. But sets are much better than I expected. Samurai X cave is clearly the best Villains Uniting subtheme set.Sonic Raider is nice too , but it's just 20$ less, and if choosing between 2 of them Cave is better deal overall.

Ookami Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Well, maybe Samukai and Morro will appear in "Airjitsu battle grounds" Quote
Exetrius Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Is that evil Wu in one of the sets? Well, maybe Samukai and Morro will appear in "Airjitsu battle grounds" 99% sure that none of these will appear in the summer wave, since none of them were shown on the minifig turntables at Nuremberg/NY Toy Fair, and their appearance hasn't been rumored either. However, the fact that Samukai and Morro are shown may indicate that we will see them back indeed, in the winter wave maybe? The thing is... they are (supposed to be) dead in the series, just like Garmadon If they bring those two back, I hope they will give the Overlord and Garmadon a revamp too. Quote
NinjaJayNuva Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Final unwatermarked summer boxes! From Amazon FR I NEED that Lighthouse. I'm now sure that they will give us a wave two, and they should. There is no way for them to make only 5 sets for a season. Quote
