PenPlays Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) My guesses are: Cole's Elemental Dragon-$9.99 Ninja Bike Chase-$19.99 Sky Shark-$24.99 Raid Zeppelin-$29.99-$39.99 Jay's Elemental Dragon-$29.99-$39.99 Tiger Widow Island-$49.99 Misfortune's Keep-$79.99 The Batboat harbor pursuit is only $30 yet it has a very big box. Jay's dragon seems smaller. Keep in mind that Jay Walker One's box has the same length and width as the Batboat set, yet it has a deeper thickness, and another $10 worth of product inside. Jay's Dragon, however does look like it could merit a $39.99 pricepoint, as it's generally the same size as the Titanium Dragon in scale. Edited November 22, 2015 by Penkid11 Quote
gamejutzu Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 The Batboat has the typical $30 long box size from 2013-on. Correct, but JayNuva said that the two had similar boxes, thus making the prices also similar. But I combated this by stating that another $30 set, Batboat harbor pursuit, has the same price, but an even bigger box. I don't get the point you're trying to give. Quote
Dr.Cogg Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Here's my reasoning for the prices. Tiger Widow, based on how big it looks and the figures you get $59.99 seemed about right, when compared to the dueling mechs of possession. Sky shark, based on the amount of pieces and the 2 figures, I thought $19.99 sound about right. Kai and Nya's motorcycles, looks to be almost the same amount of pieces as the sky shark, but includes an extra figure, making it about $24.99. Jay's Dragon, looks bigger than Wu's Dragon and both Wu's dragon and Zane's Titanium Dragon were $39.99. Cole's dragon, the amount of pieces and the 2 figures, made me think slightly higher than $10, so $12.99. Zeppelin Raid, the set looks to big to be $20, but not big enough to be $40, plus it has 3 figures,so $29.99 sounds about right. Misfortunes Keep, this sets is the hardest to figure out the price, because the giant monster plane, the amount of figures, the little flyer and Lloyds giant jet pack, its hard to say whether its $89.99 or $99.99 Edited November 22, 2015 by Dr.Cogg Quote
Ardelon Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Glad to see dark orange replacing regular orange in the pirate vehicles. I must say I like the pirate color scheme much more than the ghost color scheme. Quote

This seems kinda pointless. It stands out to me that Misfortune Keep set is most controversial when it comes to price guesses, but it's 80$! Just like Ninja DBX earlier this year. And Island set is 50$. Quote
BricksrDamian2 Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Black Widow Island is $50-60 plus the set prices weren't USD Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted November 22, 2015 Author Posted November 22, 2015 Hey y'all that Minifugure cube is fiy showing up at Targets here's the DCPI: 204-00-1716 Quote
Colossus Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Isn't the Kai minifig in that Target exclusive a re-issue? Quote
Exetrius Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Hey y'all that Minifugure cube is fiy showing up at Targets here's the DCPI: 204-00-1716 I suppose it comes out in 2016, since this is the 2016 set discussion? Quote
Aanchir Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Isn't the Kai minifig in that Target exclusive a re-issue? Nope, not at all. He's wearing the stone armor from episode 34 "The Titanium Ninja". Only Lloyd and Zane were previously released in that armor, in set 70728 (Jay and Cole still haven't been released in that armor as physical minifigures). Interestingly, Kai's got uniquely printed legs in this minifigure cube. Zane and Lloyd didn't have printed legs in 70728 and none of the stone-armored Ninja had printed legs in the TV episodes. So I think that's a nice little bonus for them to throw in. Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted November 22, 2015 Author Posted November 22, 2015 Bought it this morning For $8.64 too bad the promo code was fixed. Quote
Exetrius Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 from the early pictures I had a suspicion that Kai had a new face in the minifig cube, but now I'm sure! Guess what: scarless Kai! We will probably see his new head print in the 2016 sets too Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted November 22, 2015 Author Posted November 22, 2015 I was thinking the same thing. My shipping was just confirmed. So I'll let y'all.know when I do. Quote
Cagast Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Guess what: scarless Kai! We will probably see his new head print in the 2016 sets too O, really? That makes no sense. Yes, now it's accurate to the show but simply erasing it from his face after five years doesn't make much sense to me... Quote
bricksfan Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 O, really? That makes no sense. Yes, now it's accurate to the show but simply erasing it from his face after five years doesn't make much sense to me... Well, it actually does. We're getting new headprints for Cole and Jay this wave, so why not innovate Kai's? Plus, in the 2014 and 2015 waves we got new printing for Lloyd, Zane and Nya Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Yep it's definitely a new face, his eyebrows are different. It's about time we got a new face for him. Quote
Lyichir Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Well, it actually does. We're getting new headprints for Cole and Jay this wave, so why not innovate Kai's? Plus, in the 2014 and 2015 waves we got new printing for Lloyd, Zane and Nya What doesn't make sense about it is that scars like that don't just go away. Removing the scar may make the face more accurate to the show, but it also creates huge discontinuity between the minifigures. And unless this face becomes much, much more common, it'll be very hard to "fix" past figures. I mean, I've wanted them to reconcile the differences between Kai's appearance in the TV show and his appearance in the sets for a long time. But it would have made far more sense to just give him a scar in the show. After all, it's one of the most distinctive aspects of his face design—I wish it had been there in the show from the get-go.

The Hageman brothers actually planned for Kai to have a scar in the show, but after seeing it, they thought he would look like an assassin or something not very kid friendly. By that time early 2012 wave was released so there were scarred faces all over the place. But yeah it's true they just waited a long time to put it in the sets, such as Misako, we have known her from 2012, but the first time she officially appeared was in 2015 Edited November 23, 2015 by bricksfan Quote

I know right? One of these seasons he should honestly get a scar. Making scarless Kai in future sets as a replacement is honestly a bad move. If Jay can get an eyepatch, why not Kai a scar? They're both the same things anyways, in fact, Jay's is worse. A lot of kids will probably catch on as well. Quote
8BrickMario Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I don't like Kai's scar. I never have. His old face always made him look like an ugly villain, not a brave hero. Quote

PenPlays Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I'm just glad that other Ninjas are getting new face prints aside from Lloyd!! Quote
gamejutzu Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Now that Kai is having a scarless face, I could see very few possibilities of that happening Of what happening? Him getting one in the show? Or kids catching on? What made Kai cool was his scar. Without it Kai is significantly more lame. episode 8 of Possession had Kai seeing his future self in a mirror. Interestingly his eyebrows were completely normal, as in he didn't even have a nick in his eyebrow. Did Kai reverse damage to himself in the future? Edited November 23, 2015 by gamejutzu Quote
Ardelon Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I thought that the best way to reconcile the faces would have been to have an episode early on in the Skulkin (or Serpentine) season where Kai gets a scar, but by the end of the episode (or a few episodes later) is healed by some magic spell or magic herb. And from then on, he would have the non-scarred face in sets and show. This would make the scarred Kai an interesting Kai variant. I don't like Kai's scar. I never have. His old face always made him look like an ugly villain, not a brave hero. Well, I think thats one more good reason to give him a scar. To drive home the point that handsome =/= good, and ugly =/= evil. Quote
gamejutzu Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) handsome =/= good, ugly =/= evil. Or that scar =/= angsty assassin, just like eyepatch =/= pirate in Jay's case. In fact, it's quite surprising that Kai isn't even hot headed. Even in season 2. He's just dumb XD Edited November 23, 2015 by gamejutzu Quote
