onikari Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 though Soto is supposed to have a hook from what I heard. And a fork instead of his peg leg ! Quote
Exetrius Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) I really wish there was just a "new piece spotting and plotting" topic where we could say "I spotted this glorious new part, and here are cool ways I'm thinking about using it" - in the vein of NewElementary's content. Because that can be a highlight of high quality set pictures releasing, for me. If we're talking about 70594, there is a one by one rounded end bar element attaching the pagoda points, and there's that dangly chain piece you mentioned (I didn't realize it was a pendant, at first I thought I was looking at a studs out short chain, that made me think updated nunchucks were happening), And I'm not sure what's under the tiny cannon , looks like another 1x1 modified, but square, with either the mini ball-and-cup ball, or a somewhat spherical decoration, EDIT: in the box picture, clearly the common 2 sided closed ring, modified 1x1 and there's a second size of dragon wing i hadn't spotted until 41178... 70589: is this piece back? I mean, I have to assume I'm misinterpreting that.. Anybody know what we're actually looking at there? I agree with your top statement, I recently spotted what I think is a new clip piece in a DC set, but I don't feel like posting in that thread just for that. I wouldn't share applications of new parts before I tried and showed them myself, though 70589 has a couple more recolours, like lightsaber hilts and train suspension both in Dark Brown and skiyng poles in Warm Gold. To me, it also seems like those old curved pieces are back, not just you. Looking back at a Toy Fair image, it seems like there is one of those slim wheels (rubber tyre) underneath, which touches the ground and drives the drill/shooter mechanism when you pushed on the vehicle. Makes it even more fun! Edited April 27, 2016 by Exetrius Quote
froggy95 Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) I'm not a Ninjago fan, so I'm probably missing the point or something, but this set looks..... well..... not good Is it just me? Agreed. The build is boring and looks like it was created 20 years ago. There are some nice (new) printed parts (tile, head, body armor) that I'll probably pick up on BL.

Bob De Quatre Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 I have to say I love the potential I see in 70595 for Sci-Fi MOCs Quote
Master_Data Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 This set has so much potential and is superior to its predecessor in every way! It can transform into 4 vehicles: two bikes on the side, the jet, and a motorcycle in the middle! Quote
Aanchir Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Sensei Wu, jay with the temple of airjitzu. Cole with nelson, and garmadon in the lighthouse Specifically, City of Stiix has Jay (original), Temple of Airjitzu has Wu (original) and Cole (original), Cole's Rock Roader has Kendo Cole (original), and The Lighthouse Siege has Lord Garmadon (original). So as of this summer there will have been five trading card tiles. I'm kind of surprised we got another version of Cole this year instead of another of the ninja. I guess it makes sense with Cole as the focus of that set, though. Quote

Exetrius Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 I have to say I love the potential I see in 70595 for Sci-Fi MOCs When I first saw that cockpit it actually immediately reminded me of your craft with the Ultra Dragon head! About those trading cards: they're all stickers, correct? Quote
Lyichir Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 When I first saw that cockpit it actually immediately reminded me of your craft with the Ultra Dragon head! About those trading cards: they're all stickers, correct? Yup, all stickers. Which is a little bit of a shame... but then, that's probably at least a small part of how we can get so many different ones, in so many different sorts of sets. Quote

What keeps TLG from releasing multiples in each set? Quote
Lyichir Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Since I dont apply stickers I didn't even know these trading card tiles exist... What keeps TLG from releasing multiples in each set? Probably just a matter of not spoiling fans with a whole bunch of them at once (wasting the opportunity to include some of those other cards as a unique detail for other sets), and potentially distracting from the core contents of a set. If a whole bunch of them were included in one set, where would you even put them all? One or two cards is one thing, and you can even stack them to form a small "deck" like in the Temple of Airjitzu. More than that, though, and the thickness of a plate would ensure it's no longer shaped much like a deck—more like a bookshelf. Quote
PicnicBasketSam Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Um... why is Zane gold in the lighthouse set?! Also, there's no new piece on top of the lanterns... or at least, the only lantern I can see, which is in the Ultra Stealth Raider. That's a paint roller. Quote

PicnicBasketSam Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 OK... thanks guys. Huh. See, this wouldn't happen if they printed the character names on the box... Quote
Aanchir Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 OK... thanks guys. Huh. See, this wouldn't happen if they printed the character names on the box... They do, on the top. But that's usually hard to see in these kinds of pics unless it's super high resolution. Quote
TPLSTER21 Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Having now seen the backs of the boxes, I see I was right about the mech having some kind of action feature on the back. In this case, a small flyer for Ronin. But what I dont get is that the flyer uses the blades from the right arm and I dont see how that works unless the blades detach and then you have to stick them on the flyer, which...doesn't make sense either. Anyone figure out how that works? The mech looks like it is loaded with action features: the flyer, flip out blades and spring shooter on right arm, net shooter and stud shooter on the left arm. The lighthouse looks really, really good and again is loaded with play features and a nice selection of mini figs. Cole's vehicle has a detachable flyer on the back, reminds me of the Thunder Raider in the 2014 winter wave. Haven't seen the back of the tumblers box yet, but I think the gimmick is 2 hidden spring shooters on the sides of the tumbler that pop out. Seen in another photo. Lloyds dragon has 2 stud shooters built into the tail, which is a nice touch. The Samurai X Cave is a nice looking set as well. 4 interesting small vehicle builds. Not sure if the cave can fold/compact or if it is one big thing. Would be nice if it could fold up! Lloyds Dragon and the Prison sets are the only obvious passes for me. The rest are all outstanding to me. I wonder if the Villains Return theme gets another wave for winter 2017 before the movie sets come out (presumably) next summer? I'd get it if it were $20. Didn't know it was $25 now Everything I've seen says it IS $20. Where are people getting $25 from? It's $20, not $25... Yeah...I'm gonna say my bad there since I think I was the most recent (if not the 1st) to say it was a $25 set when it is a $20 set. Sorry! Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 I'm looking forward to the samurai x cave out of all the sets. So now, which set are you guys excited for the most? Quote
azog Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 I'm looking forward to the samurai x cave out of all the sets. So now, which set are you guys excited for the most? definitely lloyds NRG dragon! Quote
makoy Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 I'm looking forward to the samurai x cave out of all the sets. So now, which set are you guys excited for the most? Lighthouse... By far Zane has the most variants. Also, Echo Zane is so cool. Quote
gamejutzu Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 I'm still dying to see Airjitzu Battle Grounds... Watch it be the best set ever or something... Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted April 28, 2016 Author Posted April 28, 2016 I still banking on a Skylor for the battle grounds set. Quote
makoy Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 I still banking on a Skylor for the battle grounds set. It would be more awesome if we get Captain Soto or more members in Operation Land Ho. Quote
PenPlays Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 So now, which set are you guys excited for the most? I need that Lighthouse in my life!!! *obsessive fidgeting intensifies* Quote
HoganPrime Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Lighthouse and weirdly I really want the tumbler Quote
