gamejutzu Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 I heard people asking for a "full balloon" in the Raid Zepplin.. Is it because of the 8th piece not being there? Speaking, is anyone's build of the balloon section... Connected properly? Mine has gaps and stuff... Everywhere... I tried to line them up, but it didn't work... Quote
kelko585 Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 I am not sure if this part really is the old one, here is a comparison of all three: https://flic.kr/p/Fjsyr2 Anyway it seems strange to me that Lego would put different versions of the same part in one set, wierd.

Yeah, mine too, it is like no matter how hard you try, there are still gaps. Also, I noticed that even the one on the box has gaps. Quote

I had the same problem, no matter how hard I tried they still wouldn't line up correctly. Quote
DraikNova Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 I figured out a fix for the incompleteness of the balloon a while ago. It just requires you to set up a support system using the second 8-fold connector rather than the axle. It works in LDD quite well, but I'm not sure how well it'd work in real life. I'm guessing it'd be about as sturdy as the official version, considering that it's actually connected rather than resting on top of it. I think adding an 8th section should limit the jostling room for the other sections, too. Quote

The thin U-shaped version was an intermediate version that came between the thick U-shaped version and the thick O-shaped version. Quote
HoganPrime Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 I took the pirate jet pack from the ninja cycle chase and attached it to the side of the Zeppelin so now it looks like the Zeppelin has a cannon launcher. Quote
raarghh Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 I actually built the raid zeppelin yesterday and I think the balloon looks great! Quote
gamejutzu Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 I took the pirate jet pack from the ninja cycle chase and attached it to the side of the Zeppelin so now it looks like the Zeppelin has a cannon launcher. You mean, you put it on the left or right side? Was the set actually designed for that? Otherwise, wouldn't it be uneven and have more weight on one side? Quote
HoganPrime Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Weight wise its absolutely fine. Its on the left of the ship and in my imagination is a missile battery. It is on my shelf and doesn't have a balance problem else it would have fallen and smashed ages ago as the shelf is high. Plus when not in use it can rise up and down bringing it closer to the ship. I just need to work out how to get lower size photo files from my phone so I can post picutres The set wasn't exactly designed for it, I removed a couple of those white teeth from the side of the ship and then the nodded glider clips on perfectly Quote
gamejutzu Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 The set wasn't exactly designed for it, I removed a couple of those white teeth from the side of the ship and then the nodded glider clips on perfectly Oh, so you clipped it on then? So it's like some sort of harpoon/missile launcher now? That's quite nifty then. Quote
HoganPrime Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Oh, so you clipped it on then? So it's like some sort of harpoon/missile launcher now? That's quite nifty then. Yes that's exactly what its like. The glider has two grey spikes at the top of the build and the dustbin in the centre to place the bombs inside. With it raised it can keep a bomb inside the bin no problem and the spikes look just like harpoon guns, plus because of the build of the glider the harpoons also move left and right independently from each other. It's a nice use of the glider because I don't have any way at present to display things in the air. I need wire or clear stands that can work. So for now the glider is a harpoon launcher :) Quote
HoganPrime Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 So friends and nexo knights official summer images were released today. Hopefully we'll get the official ninjago images this week too. Exciting times Quote
Ookami Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 So friends and nexo knights official summer images were released today. Hopefully we'll get the official ninjago images this week too. Exciting times I also hope for the the images of the exclusive sets to be shown any time soon - can't wait to see "Samurai X Cave" Quote
HoganPrime Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 I also hope for the the images of the exclusive sets to be shown any time soon - can't wait to see "Samurai X Cave" I'm hoping too that the airjitsu battle grounds can tie into the ToA set. Quote
DuckBricks Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Would hate to dash your hopes, but the NK set images didn't include the exclusive that everyone one was wanting to see, so there's a high chance that if we do get images, the SXC and ABG won't be in them... Quote

Ah then I guess we'll have something to wait and get excited for Quote

It's quite interesting as well, as General Magmar's Siege Engine of Doom was shown at the Toy Fair, yet on Amazon UK, it's nowhere to be seen. So regardless of whether or not Samurai X Cave Chaos or the Airjitzu Battle Grounds will show up in future images really depends... Quote
DuckBricks Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 So this just showed up: http://brickset.com/sets/30424-1/{Wu-Cru-training} Odd that Tournament Jay is included, but it's pretty unremarkable besides a cheap way to get another Wu and it shows the new logo. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) So this just showed up: http://brickset.com/...u-Cru-training} Odd that Tournament Jay is included, but it's pretty unremarkable besides a cheap way to get another Wu and it shows the new logo. Interesting. I don't have that Wu, so that's a plus. However, the zukin variation of Jay would've been nice. It looks like the Dareth polybag two years ago, might be a toysrus promotion later this year. Edited March 21, 2016 by amazingbricks Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Cool. Looks like a cheap way to get that wu. Quote
azog Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 This polybag looks great! Its a nice army builder type of set Quote
gamejutzu Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 This polybag looks great! Its a nice army builder type of set Building what army? An army of Jays and Wus? That'd be a bit strange... I mean an army of Mings or Bonezais could work, but wouldn't a pack of Jay and Wu be more like... A clone builder? Also, it's funny how all the WU Cru stuff has been inside the tea shop, and now the polybag is set in the desert... Quote
BrickJagger Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Kind of a random poly.....guess it's a nice way to get Wu though. Also makes up for the "smallest" set in the wave being thirty bucks. Edited March 22, 2016 by BrickJagger Quote
