Ardelon Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Lloyd does. The bigger question is, who would Nya pair with? Quote
Exetrius Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) http://brickset.com/...sfortune-s-keep another review! Glad to see Nadakhan has a very accurate face compared to the show. Sadly, no picture of Flintlocke with moustache removed yet. Lloyd does. The bigger question is, who would Nya pair with? Ronin, of course! Edited January 10, 2016 by Exetrius Quote
obsidianheart Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Lloyd does. The bigger question is, who would Nya pair with? Guy above me said Lloyd vs. the Snakes. I don't follow the show, but that means he gets two. Quote
DraikNova Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) I'd say Kai and Nya vs Skulkins, Garmadons against Serpentine, Wu and Misako against Stone Army, Jay and Zane against Nindroids and Cole against whatever threat instigates the return of past villains (and because he hasn't been the focus character in any waves. And it'd be nice for him to actually get the chance to fulfill the leader role he was originally supposed to have). Edited January 10, 2016 by DraikNova Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted January 10, 2016 Author Posted January 10, 2016 Prelims are on the move, hopefully we'll see some sets soon. Quote
PenPlays Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) When it comes to pairing Ninja with Villains for the Summer I would go with a route as follows: Nya vs. Skullkin (These were the only characters that Nya never directly fought in the course of their screen time. These are the only characters that sidelined her by normal means as well) Lloyd vs. Serpentine Wu vs. Stone Army (Fighting the Stone Army, like his Father before him) Zane vs. Nindroids Kai vs. Anacondrai Cultists (Kai featured major development in the season that the Cultist were introduced) Cole vs. Ghosts Jay vs. The Crew of Misfortune's Keep Edited January 10, 2016 by Penkid11 Quote
Ardelon Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) After some thought, here are my suggestions. I preferred to leave out Wu and Garmadon,since they should be advisors rather than heroes who do battle and who the kids identify with. That left me with six ninjas vs 7 enemy factions , so I brought in Dareth "the brown Ninja". -Skulkin - Kai (he was the focus of this first arc, and they were the reason he became a ninja) -Serpentine - Lloyd (this is where his arc begins) OR Jay (they attacked his parents and almost turned them into snakes) OR Nya (this is where she became Samurai X) -Stone Army - Dareth (he was ultimately responsible fort heir defeat, after all) OR Lloyd (because of the "golden ninja defeating the overlord" thing) -Nindroids - Zane (obvious) -Cultists - Tough one. Basically the leftover slot. In the end, I went with Nya as no one else really fits. And she did shine in this season, going after the rest of the gang, going undercover, etc. OR maybe Good Guy Garmadon, since he has a history with them. -Ghosts - Cole (obvious) -Pirates - Jay (obvious) In the event that the pirates would be seen as too recent to be used again so soon, it leaves us with six ninjas vs six factions, making it a bit less messy: -Skulkin - Kai -Serpentine - Jay -Stone Army - Lloyd -Nindroids - Zane -Cultists - Nya -Ghosts - Cole It would be possible to switch Kai and Nya for the reasons Penkid gave above.

PenPlays Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) This is perfect, although Wu isn't necessary in this situation. Glad that you like it. Just curious, though, what exactly do you mean that Wu isn't necessary? Would the hypothetical Stone Army set feature someone else, several Ninja, or are the Stone Army not involved at all? This is, of course, if by "perfect" you mean that this is the layout of battles in the sets. Edited January 11, 2016 by Penkid11 Quote

Falconfan1414 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Does this wave focus on the goons from each "group" of villains or is it mainly on the core villain from the group Quote
Boogly22238 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Dadgummit, I was hoping to see Kozu in this wave. Then again, the Stone Army wasn't heard of after Dareth took control, except for the giant warrior. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Green NRG Dragon seems to be another name I'm getting for Lloyds Dragon. Hope that is the official name. Quote
Cagast Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Kai - Skulkins because the story began with him fighting them and trying to save Nya Jay - Pirates (obviously) Cole - Ghosts, because he's a ghost. Now that Morro is gone, Sensei Yang could be the new ghost leader, and the story should be Cole's revenge because he is guilty for him becoming the ghost. This is very likely, because that user who leaked summer set info also said a ghostly sensei is one of the villains. Zane - Nindroids obviously, led by white Cryptor. Lloyd - Serpentine, because his story in the show started with snakes and Pythor. Wu - Stone Army, the oldest army, led by the Overlord. Garmadon is most probably not dead so he could join him. Also what Penkid said. The only remaining army are Anacondrai cultists, but since they all turned into Serpentine, then ghost Serpentine, got sucked into the cursed realm (which then exploded) I doubt that they can come back. All other armies are still alive in some form. Anyway I think that this wave will be full of great minifigs. I really want that white Cryptor. Quote
Cagast Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Oops, forgot about her. Maybe an entirely new army that will be revealed in summer, or even Ronin's dark samurai army. I know that SoR isn't canon, but we also know that ninjas did fight Ronin before ghosts, so maybe he actually controlled a samurai army. Also Nya and Ronin have a strange relationship which makes me think that. There is also this 'Ronin Mech' set. Now that I think about it more it makes sense. I'm not sure about the samurai army, but I've always wanted an army of human samurais in Ninjago. Quote
Dr.Cogg Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 A few things I would like to see are: #1.The Ninja VS. Evil Ronin, Ronin in his black samurai armor, I know its not canon, but if he wore it in the show, the Ninja wouldn't know it was him and he would probably be a good villain. #2.Pixal brought back in physical form. #3.the return of the Overlord. P.S. The Djinn Blade in the show has a better name "the Sword of Souls" and theres only one. Quote
Exetrius Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 If the Overlord manages to return three times after being defeated, wouldn't it then make sense if the First Spinjitsu Master is still around somewhere? I would love to see him appear in a set! Quote
gamejutzu Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) I'd say that it's actually Nya or Cole who fight ghosts. Since water is fatal to them. Other than that, the rivals category is looking good. Also, the tiger widow island set apparently has curved lightsaber hilts. I don't have those. It's not the first time I've been wowed by cheap set names... Especially not in Ninjago, so I have high hopes for this summer wave. Edited January 11, 2016 by gamejutzu Quote
obsidianheart Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Ghosts. Fatal. Ninjago lore hurts sometimes. Quote
azog Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 The brick show did the review on cole's dragon Quote
NinjaJayNuva Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 If the Overlord manages to return three times after being defeated, wouldn't it then make sense if the First Spinjitsu Master is still around somewhere? I would love to see him appear in a set! Well, the first spinjitzu is more mortal like, like he is a mortal with great power. But the Overlord is an immortal and he can't actually be destroyed, as he's evil itself. So I guess he'll eventually return, maybe in a cliffhanger ending for season 7 ! Quote
CM4Sci Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 If Overlord returns, I'm done. Why can't they just keep anyone dead? Quote
DraikNova Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Yeah, it really annoys me too. Also the constant theme of the bad guy's reason for opposing the ninja being so wishy-washy that any villain that shows up has a 50% chance of turning good by the end of their plot arc. Really, if they have to apply those to any character, why not give the Great Devourer another go? It'd make a perfect way to dispose of dangerous artifacts and powerful enemies. Quote
gamejutzu Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) why not give the Great Devourer another go? It'd make a perfect way to dispose of dangerous artifacts and powerful enemies. I could see the Great Devourer happening, it would be a cool to see it again. Also, Lloyd has witnessed the double flip kick of fang kwon do. It would be an awesome throwback if he got punk'd with the same move. Edited January 12, 2016 by gamejutzu Quote
