gamejutzu Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 You can't help but wonder who the ringleader for the movie will be, as they've covered tons of topics thus far. An evil samurai? Or a ninja? Or will it just be a "Rise of The Villains" thing, with a bunch of bad guys and an evil warlord (Garmadon)? Also, I snagged three Skybound sets today. Usually, I stay away from build reviews to keep my surprise, but since the trilogy happened, it's kinda hard to do that... Quote
Ookami Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I wonder whether "Lego Ninjago Movie" sets will have price like the lincesed ones or like the common Ninjago sets. I remember "Lego Movie" sets had common price, so TLG won't probably increase costs of the Ninjago Movie sets either. What do you think, guys? Quote

Historically speaking, that would be a logical choice, as ninja appeared to counter them. From a marketing point of view, the only samurai in the whole of Ninjago so far is Samurai X (not counting the non-canon Ronin minions). There are also possibilities to sneak in some references to the old samurai/ninja theme, plus that samurai moulds of that theme are still being used, but imo we are in great need for some nicely detailed new ones (as I've ranted before ).

LEGO own the IP, so there are no fees to consider in pricing. Quote
JPN366 Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Did you go to the LEGO store to get them? Because, if you went to a retail store like Target, you could have gotten the new, Skybound sets. Those are just the ones I liked. The whole family wanted the Morro Dragon set. I got that one from Amazon for almost $20 off. I just finished the Chain Cycle and I love it! Quote
PickleManDan Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 O . 0!!!! $20 off! It's on sale right now for about $51.00 on Amazon. Quote
kelko585 Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) Today I got the Sky Shark set for Lloyd minifig but to my disbelief one of the vertical clips holding the flintlock pistols was mismoulded a bit. I've never seen such a thing in a lego set! Seems strange to me that it passed Lego's quality control. Also, btw what's up with Flintlocke's mustache not fitting?

PenPlays Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I caved and got the Temple of Airjitzu with double VIP. I have to break down some Chima before I can build it. The wait is unbearable. Quote
ChristopheQ Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 ...fun to build them while I watch the show.... Building lego in front of a Lego show is the nerdy version of watching an adult movie while having sex... Quote

Yeah. it seems that the rumors circulating LEGO may be true. Everyone is concerned that LEGO's quality checks are becoming more forgiving. Lloyd's jet doesn't even fully clip on the top (the green piece). And apparenly the mustache + aviator helmet combo does not work. It's either one or the other, so i'd say if you have the slick-back in black hair, use that instead (since Flintlocke never wears his helmet in the show anyway).

Zergos Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I would love if Rise of the Villains continued into 2017, as we could get more elemental masters we haven't got yet! (*cough* Ash *cough*) Quote

It's either one or the other, so i'd say if you have the slick-back in black hair, use that instead (since Flintlocke never wears his helmet in the show anyway). The helmet + mustache combo actually does work - it's the pauldron + mustache combo that causes a very small sliver of neck element to be exposed. It's pretty unnoticeable, so I would say it's not much of a problem... Not sure what you mean by Lloyd's jet (I assume you mean the Misfortune's Keep one) as (other than being an unappealing build) it doesn't have any problems. Care to provide a pic? If it's his jet pack in Sky Shark, that has no issues either so I'm not sure what you mean... Quote

Quote
Mandate Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 That's not mismoulded it's just that they are different versions of the same part. Are you sure? The plastic is very thin, and would be far more prone to breaking than the standard piece. Quote
Lyichir Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Are you sure? The plastic is very thin, and would be far more prone to breaking than the standard piece. Yeah. That's why that variant is being phased out, and the one on the right is replacing it. But it's not a mismold—in fact, the one on the left is currently the most up-to-date version that's available on LDD, where it matches your picture almost exactly (I wish they'd replace it with the one on the right, which has the same Design ID but is more current).

That's odd. I can't remember ever receiving a set with a clip like the one on the left. Quote
Aanchir Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) That's odd. I can't remember ever receiving a set with a clip like the one on the left. I remember them showing up in a number of sets I got back in 2010 and 2011. My copy of the Portal of Atlantis had both the weird thin version and the previous version (thicker but still with squared ends). Edited March 19, 2016 by Aanchir Quote
