just2good Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Hey guys, Kmart has the Sky Bound sets Online http://www.kmart.com...ch=lego ninjago Do NOT order them off of here! Kmart has done this to me many times before: they list a new set on their site, but when you order it, it has the same product number of the order set which shows it in stock. Then they send an older set! So you may be getting friggin' Possessed sets when you want Skybound sets. Take my warning. Quote

I'm actually doing service in Africa now but I have a stopover at Germany on my way back, fingers crossed the Skybound sets will be at the airport... Quote
TPLSTER21 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 From BZPower 70590 Airjitzu Battle Grounds 666 pieces. Age 8+ $59.99 (USD) $74.99 (CAD) Available in August We weren't able to get pictures of this set or it wasn't on display. 70596 Samurai X Cave Chaos 1253 pieces. Age 9+ $119.99 (USD) $149.99 (CAD) Available in August We weren't able to get pictures of this set or it wasn't on display. So, neither set is a small one which I guess is somewhat disappointing to me....70590 might contain several large pieces since the piece count is a bit small given the price point. I agree with other posters that 70596 is probably a "City of Stixx" type set and both are likely retail exclusives. Given the large number of building sets in this wave, I hope that at least one of these sets has a decent vehicle build component and that the vehicle is a villain one as those seem a bit under represented in this wave. Any ideas as to when we might see pics of these sets...? Quote
Aanchir Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 So, neither set is a small one which I guess is somewhat disappointing to me....70590 might contain several large pieces since the piece count is a bit small given the price point. 666 pieces isn't a particularly small piece count for a $60 set. As for when we'll see pics, it's a lot harder to predict when pics of store exclusive sets will show up than it is for pics of regular retail sets. Quote
PenPlays Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) So, neither set is a small one which I guess is somewhat disappointing to me....70590 might contain several large pieces since the piece count is a bit small given the price point. Reminder that the lucky numbers is 10 cents per piece/100 pieces for every $10. This set beats that by nearly 66 pieces. (total's out at about 9 cents per piece, actually). Any ideas as to when we might see pics of these sets...? That depends on whether one or both of them are exclusives to begin with. Minifigures for at least one, if not both sets were shown at the Toy Fair, whereas any minifigures for the Nexo Knights exclusive sets were not. Whichever one of these is the one that isn't an exclusive, expect something within the next couple months (neither of them release until August). When it comes to exclusives, though, it's either through ad leaks, or website (of the exclusive retailer) caches that they usually show up in. That typically doesn't happen until about a month or so before the set releases. Edited February 17, 2016 by Penkid11 Quote

Yeah, the piece count is actually quite good. Looks like we got pics of City of Stiix in May last year, so....might be a while! Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted February 18, 2016 Author Posted February 18, 2016 Walmart had all the sets. None of them were on the shelves, but they were on a pallet, and I just asked and got one. I got Tiger Widow Island Quote
Dr.Cogg Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 I saw Tiger Widow Island at Walmart today here in Washington State Quote
Takanuinuva Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Here's hoping the Skybound minifigures start popping up on bricklink. I really want the gunmetal pirate hook Nadakhan has. Quote
gamejutzu Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Cool! Can't wait to get the Raid Zeppelin and Jay's Dragon! Quote
DuckBricks Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Posted many pages back, but I feel we need a refresher now it's relevant: Ninjago DCPIs: Sky Shark: 204-00-1614 Jay's Elemental Dragon: 204-00-1615 Raid Zeppelin: 204-00-1616 Tiger Widow Island: 204-00-1617 Misfortune's Keep: 204-00-1618 Quote
NinjaJayNuva Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Cool! Can't wait to get the Raid Zeppelin and Jay's Dragon! You really should get Jay's elemental dragon, it's epic! Quote
TheLazyChicken Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 So there's a drawing out there of the Samurai X Cave, I'm kinda disappointed by the looks of it in the drawing. Looks too empty and bare, doesn't really look the cave at all either. Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted February 20, 2016 Author Posted February 20, 2016 I would take that drawing with a grain of salt. Think about the rest of the pictures the same people draw. They all loked awful, but the final sets looked pretty awesome!! Quote
DuckBricks Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 I saw Tiger Widow Island at Walmart today here in Washington State Sweet! I live there! Mind elaborating on which one? Thanks! Quote
Exetrius Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 About the drawing: the same kid/guy gave us the first drawings of this wave's sets and if I recall correctly, they were accurate (in their vagueness) to at least some extent. Let's assume that this one is too. What I can deduce from this drawing: - The cave's rocks are Dark Tan. - It has a huge red gate. - Nya, Wu, Lloyd, Kozu, Yang, Cryptor and Pythor are included, plus Nya's Samurai X gear - It has Nya's bike - the playset has two levels - a big computer screen is present Quote
Falconfan1414 Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Does yang appear to have legs in this set? Quote
gamejutzu Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) You really should get Jay's elemental dragon, it's epic! Lol, you should know. (I'm still laughing at your anti-scum tactics) Hmm, what was that other discussion website that features Ninjago and Bionicle? I haven't been there in a long time. Does yang appear to have legs in this set? Nope, looks like he has a pale ghost tail. But it honestly won't be too hard to give him regular black pants anyway.

CM4Sci Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) I'd help if I could! Drawing really isn't that great, I'll need to see the set myself in order to get a better opinion. Edited February 20, 2016 by CM4Sci Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 The set isn't what I was expecting, but that's just a drawing. It's good to have a lot of villains in it though. Quote
ChristopheQ Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 So the "cheaper" way to get all the main good guy cast would be buying the 2 biggest sets of the wawe, right ? Quote
