So according to CM's drawings, the largest ship has that amazing ninja crossbones flag but the Zeppelin doesn't? That would stink. Just checking. So is the island a pirate base or a hero base? Thanks!

From the drawings misfortune keep doesn't look as big and interesting as I pictured it from description. But Command Zeppelin is a good looking set. Is it Zane fighting against Samurai like villain? Anyway great drawings.

Zeppelin Raid is up

Lots of orange in the bad guy vehicles and characters. These don't look that great to be honest, but they're just prelim, so we'll have to wait and see what they actually look like. :classic:

Zeppelin Raid is final name for Command Zeppelin set rumored earlier? Samurai like villain is intriguing, but on Ninjas side we have just Zane? I thought someone here said this set includes Lloyd on jet pack.

If don't remember the names, but whatever's in the long list from weeks ago is final. Lloyd is in Misfortune's Keep

The bikes both look like Kai's cycle from 2012 but a tiny bit smaller. Nya's water blasters are made with the Technic truck.. exhaust thing (one recent Mixel uses them for arms) in gold. Both are red with some gold and black.

Misfortune's Keep is like.. A long brown block but near the front and 'slopes' down and has an open 'mouth' that you can put the small jet pack on? It looks like a Rocky Mountain sort of, I guess. No handle. Doesn't really look like a command center but it might be. The width of the middle section looks like 8-10 studs wide and kind of clunky. I'll have to draw it later on TTV.

Thanks CM4Sci for the set details and the drawings of Misfortune Keep and Zeppelin Raid. The sets look great! Are you be able to provide drawings for the other sets?

So just like with this years summers wave Lloyd is only in 1 expensive set(UCS sets not included)? Weired, but it makes sense to put most popular ninja in most expensive set of the wave to sell it. As always thanks for the answer. Edited by benderisgreat

I have reached the point of realization that the Lloyd love of 2012/13 has passed with the coming of a new generation of fans. I think LEGO's soft reboot was undoubtedly a success. Keeping everything relevant all the while explaining things as if that's how the series started out.

Now if Nya could reach Lloyd level of fame, I'd be thrilled. It's clear that Lego is trying to focus on the other ninja aside from Kai and Lloyd (as evidenced by the Zane love starting in Rebooted). I'm excited to see where we'll be taken. I'm also curious how the movie will be handled, but that's for a different thread.

Personally I have never been a fan of Lloyd, but his Deepstone outfit(like all other ninjas) is too good to skip. Which is the only reason for me to buy Destiny Bounty set, when it goes on sale of course. But I don't think Lego realized that Lloyd love is mostly gone now. I mean why else would he appear only in most expensive sets for 2 consecutive waves of sets(Ghosts and Sky Pirates)? But you are right , that now other ninjas are getting some love too. And it seems Jay is next in line.

I don't think reserving Lloyd for only the largest sets shows any dislike for him. On the contrary, I think Lego believes that he's a popular enough figure that his inclusion can help to sell some of those larger sets. This past wave alone, he appeared in four different large sets in both possessed and unpossessed varieties. As the "chosen one", he's still considered somewhat of a special character, like Sensei Wu, Garmadon, and to a lesser extent Nya and Zane, and as such it should be no surprise that he gets prioritized for larger sets over smaller ones.

Can CM4 or Sir Gareth confirm that the junior sets this year will be 2012 Ninjago based?

If so can we have a brief description please?

Yes, they are.

10722 includes Kai and a lime-green Serpentine. There's a black and red car for Kai, like the one from the Spider-Man vs. Venom Juniors set, and a lime-green motorcycle with flaming thrusters on the back for the Serpentine. There's also some little brown and green shrine with flames; it's holding a lime-green Serpentine staff.

10725 includes Jay, Lloyd, and a green Serpentine. It's set-up a lot like the Spider-Man Hideout set. There's a lightning dragon for Jay (don't get excited) and a lime-green helicopter with fangs, similar to the one from the Spider-Man set, for the Serpentine. Then, there's a black and red temple made mainly out of the big, Juniors wall piece. Under the archway, there's a golden weapon. The temple itself is comprised of black and grey bricks and flames.

Thank you

The Temple has spinning axes for traps. The costumes are all over the place, From Rebooted to Spring 2015. Then they have the serpentine...

Are the Serpentine the seemingly new ones from the pictures you drew?(they kinda look like a cross between Lasha and Spitta) If so does that mean the Serpentine for next year will all use the same mold and colors?

The Serpentine look like green Anacondrai to me, judging from the heads in the drawing.

No, they're members of the Venomari tribe. LEGO wouldn't risk making the Anacondrai go through another color change, let alone to the color of another tribe. Anyway, the new ghost has four arms using the same piece that Garmadon did... return of Garmadon confirmed! :tongue:Please don't actually do that LEGO.

They could be venomari cultists. I honestly hope they end up changing those minifigures. We don't need any more snakes.

No, I think this is just an example of how the designers are trying to blend story and set more closely. Now that the Serpentine are allied with humanity, it makes sense for there to be a mix of humans and snakes on a pirate crew. The only oddball is the four-armed ghost.

What if the green serpentine is Arcturus. Edited by NinjaJayNuva
