Pulp Detective Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Never been a big Ninjago fan but I always liked the different varieties of the ninja's costumes we get each year and here we are with Lego being yet again lazy with reusing same old prints....or is it just that they ran out of ideas??? It's just a nitpick I know but I'm kinda pissed since this was one of the main reasons I was excited to see the new sets. Quote
TheOneVeyronian Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I doubt it's out yet. Wait for Promobricks to cover it! And I'm sure we'll see it on this thread when it comes out anyway. It just seems strange that pics of the dragon weren't added when all the other Ninjago pics came out, yet it was mentioned. I notice that Cole's Rock Roader is missing from the images as well I'm still wondering why Duplo and Juniors got pics before a major theme like Ninjago though... seems a bit odd Quote
DraikNova Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Loving the look of Ronin's mech and the new Ultrasonic Raider. Very sleek. The recolored weapons are also nice, as is the inclusion of Sensei Yang. The question I have is: Why does a leader of a snake cult have a golem/mecha dinosaur? The Kryptarium escape looks almost juniors-ish in it's simplicity, and Zane's tumbler is so boxy that it reminds me of an ambulance. The lighthouse bears no particular resemblance to the show version, resembling a giant pagoda as many feared. At least we get the cleaning bot as a proper build, rather than just a 1x1 round brick. And Echo Zane is awesome-looking. Can't wait for the dragon, as that one looked best from the leaks, and I'm curious to see whether that's still true. Edited January 27, 2016 by DraikNova Quote
8BrickMario Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I like Echo Zane, so I'll probably get that set. Zane's tumbler looks really nice. I like Yang, but the Raider isn't interesting enough to me. Quote
ganteng dikit Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Zane's tumbler and Ronin's mech is better than I expected! Can't wait to see the rest of the sets though Quote
Krulis Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Zusammengebaut added video of sets on their site, nearly nothing new expect that you can see more of Kryptarium escape ( four armed stone warrior in prison suit on boxart and Kai in his Skybound outfit). Oh and just noticed thar Chen's mech has his chair. Edited January 27, 2016 by Krulis Quote
Vector Prime Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Are the new Ninja outfits the same as the ones from the Realm of Shadows show? I certainly hope so as those have a nice design. Quote

Now that you mention it (and after a quick Google), there does seem to be some similarities. I wouldn't mind getting those suits as figures. Quote
Exetrius Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I find it great to see Zane in white robes again. :) Quote
DuckBricks Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Everything looks pretty good except the Lighthouse, which is really disappointing as it looks nothing like the TV show version... Quote
Aanchir Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Hopefully the sets we haven't seen yet will be better, and will have some new molds. Seriously, we've only gotten two this entire year on top of them not only reusing prints on major and minor characters, but old prints from up to five years ago are returning. Seriously LEGO, you blow the budget on pieces BIONICLE doesn't need but you can't even spare a few new prints for NINJAGO and will bring back the original NINJAGO ninja gi torso just to avoid spending a fraction of a decent budget here? If I'm not mistaken, they're not bringing back the original Ninja gi torso, but introducing the first physical versions of the "revamped" versions of those torsos as seen in the Ninjago stage show and the new LEGOLAND Ninjago expansion. These feature slight changes from the original gi, although they are clearly still meant as a throwback. At about 1:00 in you can see these costumes on display. As you can see, not only do Lloyd and Nya get variants of this costume in the displays, but additionally, Zane's variant has silver arms (like in the new set pictures) and incorporates elements of his ZX costume in the lower part of his torso. Likewise, Kai's costume has dark red arms, again, like we see in these sets.It's a bit frustrating seeing that two of the sets (both featuring Nya) still appear to be using the Skybound costumes, though.

DraikNova Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Everything looks pretty good except the Lighthouse, which is really disappointing as it looks nothing like the TV show version... I think it's worth noting that it's opened up in the picture. If made a little higher, it'd match the show relatively well. Quote

Now that you mention it (and after a quick Google), there does seem to be some similarities. I wouldn't mind getting those suits as figures. I love the idea of refreshing the old suits especially after the Realm of Shadows show. The few pictures I've seen of the new figs look really nice. It appears at least in the Stealth Raider, the Ninja have recolored 2016 shoulder pads in at least silver and brown. This entire season is very "Rehash and Refresh". I love, love, love the Lighthouse Siege or whatever it's called. The model is solid, the characters are amazing, I won't say no to a Nadakhan. Honestly, I may not even buy any of the new current skybound stuff and just wait for these. I decided that trying to collect the varying swords would be a costly idea. Ill just have to decided how to proceed from here. I kinda hope for a different suit for Ronin. His mech is cool, but I'm not gonna justify buying the set if there are no new figures to the set. Thats what it comes down to for me a lot of the time. I guess Krazi does have a different hat. Which is black and red instead of red and blue. Blah. The Kryptorium Escape is exactly what I was expecting and will not say no to Zane and Soto and a new top piece for the stone warrior and a shoulder pieces on Kai. I love those things. Its small, but a really nice set. Zane's Vehicle has grown on me. When I first looked at it, I wasn't a huge fan. But the more I look at it, I love design, I love the coloring, silver and gold look awesome together! Plus that blue stud looks like a new coloring of stud. I could be wrong. My one dislike is the figure selection. Sure, you get zane with hair, but, the could have upgraded the Nindroids. The Raider 2.0 is a beaut. It looks really soild super clean, I love that it splits into four parts, it has all four ninja, yang and Chen. Chen's Chair mech is pretty sweet too. I'm looking foward to seeing the other 4 sets!

DraikNova Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Yeah, I didn't notice that at first either, and my reaction was the same as yours. Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Promobricks has new pictures up! https://www.facebook.com/Promobricks/ EDIT: Looks like it could be Little Nelson and Coles arms are transparent and his hands orange? Love the new Stone Warrior sheild. Cole's buggy is a kinda ehh, but ill get it for Little Nelson and Cole and Lloyd's dragon is pretty sweet. Edited January 27, 2016 by LegendsOfNinjago Quote
pawcanada Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) As I said before, I'm really liking how all the McGuffin weapons look in their transparent neon yellow/black/with a gem in the base designs. I'll defiantly look at getting all of them. Also great to see the Purple Ninja, complete with the old style hood. I am, however, a tad disappointed some of the core six have the new style of head wrap, others have just the face mask and a few are in their Skybound design. Unless Nya is the Purple Ninja, I don't see any figs of her in a possible "Realm of Shadows" suit; just Skybound. Granted I am wondering if maybe the "Realm of Shadows" figs come with both the full headwrap and face mask and hair, allowing people to have them in either design but if not it's a bit of a shame as after seeing the Zane and Kai figures earlier, I was hoping all would have that design. Likewise it looks like it's normal Lloyd on the dragon, so my Gold Lloyd can still "live" with the NRG figures but in turn I was keen to see a proper NRG fig of him. Still I am keen to see more pictures of everyone and I'll be getting all the ninjas and McGuffin Weapons. I'd better start saving. Edited January 27, 2016 by pawcanada Quote
makoy Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I am more confused what sets I will buy now that the set # 70594 (Lighthouse) has Echo Zane and Nadakhan... I may totally skip Misfortune's Keep Quote
8BrickMario Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I am more confused what sets I will buy now that the set # 70594 (Lighthouse) has Echo Zane and Nadakhan... I may totally skip Misfortune's Keep That's exactly what I was thinking. Misfortune's Keep does absolutely nothing for me, but I want Nadakhan and Echo Zane, so I think I'll get the newer set instead. Quote
Zergos Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Looks like I'm buying the cheaper sets, zane's tumbler, cole's rock raider, and kryptarium escape. Not a fan of the skybound sets, but the rest are good. Kinda sucks that Lloyd doesn't actually get a NRG form in his set. Quote
8BrickMario Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I'm pretty sure Lloyd's NRG form is technically the Golden Ninja. Quote
TheOneVeyronian Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Now I've seen all the sets - I've got to say I'm really excited for Lloyd's dragon! I love the use of the Chima paw piece for it's snout, I hope that's something that makes it into the final set (unless of course these are finalised sets? I can never remember if these are prelim or final ). Sadly the figs and villain catapult fail to excite me, but the dragon itself I think more than makes up for it. And I'm kinda glad only this set and the Stealth Raider are the only sets that are really interesting me, which is good as I can then shovel my money at Elves and Nexo Knights instead without feeling extra guilty I hope these get released in June in my country again, as has been the case for the last 3 years, because I can't wait for that stunning dragon!

Boxart is 100% final. Quote
DraikNova Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Yay, we get a classic-style purple ninja hood. Also, got to agree on Golden Ninja = Lloyd NRG. The green dragon has awkward-looking legs and slightly too thin a snout, otherwise it's great. Funny to see that it has stud shooters on it's tail. Quote
Dr.Cogg Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) So far I like the Sky pirate sets more, but there are some sets I like in this wave like Lloyds Dragon, The tower, and Ronins Mech( It kind of gives me a Big Daddy vibe), the prison set for the figures and Coles set for the figures, but we still haven't seen the samurai X cave.
