Umm, not on my computer.

Don't know what hax you guys are using, but there's only one Italian site that has them, and it says "page not found".

Evidently you're wrong, because I'm looking at a site right now that still has preliminary images. Presumably the same one people have been talking about all day, which is different from (and has larger images than) the one people had been discussing prior to today.

Hopefully we get official, non-confidential images soon, because it's frustrating talking in vague terms like this with people who can't even find what you're talking about.

Wow, that's amazing! I'm starting to like this head better.

Thought it was cool too, but the original prelim used a Hero Factory jumper head as nostrils which looked incredibly stunning...

Al right, all right, I just realized more than one place had them. That's what got me.

And if the sets are coming in January, than there isn't much time left anyways.

Does anyone noticed that Jay's elemental dragon's forehead has Jay's original elemental symbol on it?

It's the same one. It's just at a side angle.

What are those things on the face of the tiger widow head? Golden batarangs? And drill pieces for pillars?

The "replacement" lightning dragon (poor Wisp lol) still uses separate handles. Why can't LEGO just make a bar like the show? Or better, the show use separate handles? Also, the weapon the monkey has is AWESOME. I never thought to make a grapple like that! And Cyren has the third Boulder Blaster this year.

That disc on the raid zeppelin can be used as razor throws! Or giant throwers for Zane! After all, a giant shuriken and a huge kunai were not enough. Speaking of swords, if the ones on the side come in white, Zane can use them!

And, did they make Nya's bike better than Kai's on purpose? The heck? On the bright side, since an entire set is dedicated to 2 motorbikes, we'll be seeing them in the show again!

Aww, wat? Is Cole's symbol seriously a ape/gorilla? C'mon LEGO, STEHP ET AHP!

Take any minifigure and move their legs into a sitting position. Pose the arms anywhere in front the minifigure so that it doesn't touch its toes. Turn the minifigure's hands so that it can hold such a bar, for example, a lightsaber piece. You will notice that the minifigure's hands cannot fully grasp the bar, and therefore would be considered an "illegal" connection.

And technically it's the first Boulder Blaster of 2016 :wink:

Nya needs a motorbike. I mean this set chalks down a total of four motorbikes for Kai alone. This is aside the fact that Jay has never gotten a motorcycle, and whether or not you would consider Zane's snowmobile from the Fangpyre Truck Ambush set as something similar to a motorbike as well.

Although, I must add, Nya is special in the fact that she is still the only Ninja with a water vehicle (City of Stiix) in a readily available set. It's a shame too, as the whole pirate theme would have made us ready for some really cool water vehicles for the other Ninja.

So, battling with spinners is illegal like half the time?

I can't believe I partook in an illegal activity! *Heads over to Mafia forum and asks to join*

Yeah, but that doesn't mean Kai's had to be so bad.

I mean, it's not really, but in comparison to Nya's it is very lacking.

Maybe the Skybound theme is prepping us for an... underwater theme...?

I DON'T CARE, PWR SUITS FTW!!

The misfortune keep set has wu trapped and jays new head looks more serious:o

According to the Italian site and also compared with the possession sets , Cole's dragon seems to be $ 9.99 , ninja bike chase and sky shark are $ 19.99 , Jay's elemental dragon and Zeppelin Raid are either $ 29.99 or $ 39.99 , Tiger Widow island will probably has the same price with than mech battle. But sadly I can't compare misfortune keep with any possession sets.

Recent price leaks from Canadian toys R us suggest that Tiger Widow Island will cost around 50-60$, and Misfortune Keep around the same price as Ninja DBX set 80$.

What's up with the Sky shark in general?

Looks like a regular flying pirate ship to me honestly. It doesn't follow the rules of steampunk like the rest. No reason really to get this one, especially not for the build.

What I mean is, what makes this set special? Lloyd's OP jetpack as usual?

A transforming feature??

No. When minifigures hold a weapon in front of them (as with the spinners), they don't have to hold it perfectly horizontal. When one of a minifig's arms is higher than the other, the angle of those combined with the angle of the hands allows them to hold a weapon securely in two hands. This doesn't work the same way when a fig needs to hold onto a horizontal handlebar, since there's no way for their hands to achieve the right angle. That's why parts like motocycle or bike handlebars are angled—it's the only way a fig can grip tightly to both of them while still remaining in a secure standing or seated position.

Hmm. That could explain why a few of my figures have cracked torsos...

Wut m8?

It doesn't look like $40 to me, should be around the same price as the Raid Zeppelin.

Based on the Euro prices on the latest site where I've seen pics of the sets, I'd imagine that both the Raid Zeppelin and Jay's Elemental Dragon are $35/€35 sets, that Sky Shark and Ninja Bike Chase are both $20/€20 sets (same price as as 70733 Blaster Bike), and that Cole's Dragon is a $10/€10 set (same price as the Airjitzu fliers). Not sure about the larger sets because they don't have a lot of older Ninjago set listings for me to compare the prices to.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It really doesn't look like a $40 set to me.

I assume it will share the saw box size with Jay Walker one in Possession.

The Batboat harbor pursuit is only $30 yet it has a very big box. Jay's dragon seems smaller.
