Masked Builder Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Well I may pick up 9440 here soon and I'll review it. I've seen most of the sets in my ToysRUs and they do look pretty nice. Quote
Rocketbilly Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 The new Nya figure in her Samurai gear kind of reminds me of Zam Wessel from Star Wars. Even her face, I think, reminds of of the Zam Wessel minfig from back in, what, 2002? I think that's pretty cool. I'm really liking the looks of these trans-purple canopy pieces, they're beautiful.

r4-g9 Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 yesterday i went to my local toys r us to get some of the new dino sets, but one of the little islands that they had at the begining of the lego section wasn't dino. it was green, and said don't be hypnotized by the power of the snakes. my local toys r us had all but two of the boxed ninjago sets.

assassin124 Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Ooh these new sets look awesome...so far I'm picking up the bike, 2 booster packs, one spinner (dont know which though :P) and the Venomari Shrine. Can't wait for these to come out in the UK! Quote
Derek Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Most of the building sets are presumably available to ship from Target.com 9440 Venomari Shrine 9441 Kai's Blade Cycle 9442 Jay's Storm Fighter 9443 Rattlecopter 9444 Cole's Tread Ambush Ninjago is always great for quality sets $30 and under. -Derek Quote
K.Kreations Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Honestly, the sets look kind of weird. But it looks like there are some great new pieces! Quote
The Crazy One Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 I just love this theme. We have the technology to build helicopters and cars but we still haven't found a way build a gun yet. :P I love it. Not every thing needs a gun. Quote
Zarkan Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 So, apparently the 2011 spinners were a flop? Doesn't surpise me in the least - not many people, regardless of age, are likely interested in paying ten dollars for a single figure acessory pack when they can get similiarly priced sets with two, three, or even four figures. Why TLC can't seem to see this, and is instead blaming it on supposed public perceptions about Chineese quality, is beyond me. Quote
Mesonak Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Couldn't be farther from the truth; apparently, the spinners sold incredibly well. It is the game that they're selling them for, after all, not the figures. So if kids like the game, its understandable why they would sell well. Quote
TheBrickDaddy Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Why haven't we seen any EB reviews yet? Quote

The Spinjitzu starter set was the third best selling set in Sweden in 1st half of 2011. Only beaten by the Ice dragon and Skull motorbike. Best Star Wars set came on fourth place...

They weren't blaming anything on Chinese quality; Nabii was just trying to dispel false rumors that next year's spinner sets would be produced in China. I assume your info came from Brickset, where later in the same topic Nabii clarified that the perception of spinner sets as inferior quality had little impact on sales, and that production was simply being shifted in order to increase efficiency by having the each entire set produced in fewer plants.

Suspsy Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 I really hope there's an awesome snake headquarters in the works for the summer. Needs to have a gigantic cobra-shaped entrance and maybe even a giant python guardian. Quote

Needs to have a gigantic cobra-shaped entrance and maybe even a giant python guardian. That's a good idea. I can imagine something like that appearing. Garmadon got his fortress, after all. It could be some sort of temple or ruin, since the snake people seem to be quite fond of little shrines and temples. Quote
Prominence Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Does the Venomari Shrine have stickers? When does Europe get the new sets? Quote
surrideo Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Does the Venomari Shrine have stickers? When does Europe get the new sets? Not sure about Europe mainland but I think the UK will see these early January Quote
Jouster Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) I've seen parts from the new show and: -Samurai X has a mech -There are 5 snake tribes: Fangpyre, Constrictai, Hypnobrai, Venomari and Anacondrai -Only 4/5 tribes are still alive, the Anacondrai tribe is extinct (they died because of hunger) -A purple snake named Pythor will unite the 4 tribes -If the 4 tribes unite, a beast is released that will turn the day to night and doom Ninjago (or something along those lines) -Zane will be the pink ninja... -The crane vehicle is huge -The snake vehicles are alive -Lloyd is a coward -Kruncha and Nuckal become substitute teachers You can watch those clips over here: http://www.youtube.c.../31/rvCeBfgO_5Y Edited November 27, 2011 by Jouster Quote
Lordofdragonss Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) OMG Lloyd is so cute in this clip, I love his voice! There are a lot of diferent snakes leades! I hope we will get them all, the green one and the black one are my favorite! Thanks for sharing! Edited November 27, 2011 by Lordofdragonss Quote
The_Box Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Wow. I really hope all those snake people get released at some point. Quote
K-Nut Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 I have a feeling that Zane's robes accidentally were put in the wash with Kai's. Quote
Darth Nihilus Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 The purple snake general looks amazing, as do the green snakes and the black snakes. I hope they get released in sets. Even the pink ninja looks good, and I think that all of them will be getting upgrades. Also, it appears that there are black, grey, green, blue, red, and purple snakes. Where are the white and pink ones? It also appears that the Green Ninja is not Zane, and they wield the Nunchucks of Lightning but also cast fire. That's wierd. Now I'm really not sure who they are.

squidman85 Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) Those snakes have funny accent. Why Zane is pink?Boys don't like pink. Edited November 28, 2011 by MantaMan Quote
