SoupOrFishOil Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) Beat you to it. -Sci I know, I saw. I just thought that posting the two pictures would of been helpful to show that the Ninja vs. Pirates one was photoshopped. Edit: I didn't see that you edited your post with the LEGO Battles image Edited March 22, 2012 by Superficial Username Quote
Peppermint_M Posted March 23, 2012 Author Posted March 23, 2012 Right, this is getting a bit vexing. It was fine when the actual discussion was about the possibility or desire to have certain scenes or things to be sets but now it is a big spammy spoiler tagged mess. As such: Please CEASE all show discussion unless it is: I saw X Location, it would be cool for TLG to make it as a set becaus X location could... Make a new thread in Culture and Multimedia. I will take a go at migrating all these posts away. Secondly. This is discussion on Ninjago, not Hero Factory. Certain ones among you are now being tracked for further offences and may be having a private word with staff. That is all. Quote
Lance Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) I agree with Peppermint that the show was taking over.Thread Created. Back on set disscussion I wonder if there's going to be a TRU exclusive this year..... I mean, 4 model sets is pretty measly for a big theme like Ninjago, so I think there may be at least one store exclusive. Edited March 23, 2012 by Lance Quote
Kalhiki Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Yeah, but what would the exclusive be? I guess it could be the Ouroboros Bus. (I want that thing so bad). Kalhiki Edited March 23, 2012 by Kalhiki Quote
Aethersprite Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 I haven't seen episode 10 - but what is Lloyd's element? Poison? Quote
Lyichir Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 I haven't seen episode 10 - but what is Lloyd's element? Poison? Lloyd has all four elements, presumably in balance with one-another. He doesn't actually start acting as the green ninja in episode 10; this was just the episode where his identity as the green ninja was revealed. The green cards in the spinner game use all elements equally, and Lloyd ZX's spinner crown includes all four elements. Yesterday I looked through the new sticker book while at a bookstore, and noticed that it did in fact have stickers of the green ninja's emblem. It seems to be an Ouroboros: a snake eating its own tail. This has many meanings: traditionally, it symbolized the cyclic nature of life and rebirth, and the concept of eternity. In Ninjago, the fact that Lloyd first unleashed the Serpentine and now must undo what he has done deepens the personal meaning of this symbol for Lloyd. Based on spoilers others have shared regarding the season finale, it also seems to have a literal meaning, as the Great Devourer is allegedly defeated by tricking it into eating its own tail. I expect this is also how it was originally sealed beneath the Lost City of Ouroboros, and is how that city got its name. Quote
MakutaNocturn Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 IMO the theme ninja vs pirates is really really BAD! It's worse than skeletons. The only year I like in Ninjago is 2012. 2011 less but also. If we see Pirates, 2013 will be the worst. BTW:Is 2013 the last year of Ninjago? When I read the titles of next-year tv shows I think that it is. Quote

If we see Pirates, 2013 will be the worst. BTW:Is 2013 the last year of Ninjago? When I read the titles of next-year tv shows I think that it is. Do we even know if season three is for 2013, or that those titles are legit? Or that the pirates are the main bad guy, and not just a faction like the Venomari or Fangpyre? From what I can tell there are a lot of possibilities. Those season three titles could be completely bogus, like "Daniel Rocka" or "Peter Grate" in Hero Factory. If they're real, there's nothing saying that the pirates are the main bad guy. For all we know, season three could be a "filler arc" that airs this fall, before next year's sets are even revealed, and these episodes won't have anything to do with upcoming sets. And even if it is Pirates, it could be handled well. Let's not write off 2013 as "the worst year of Ninjago" when we literally know nothing about it. Quote
Flipz Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 *Ahem.* Let's move on to some more neutral topics, shall we? Like the fact that all of the ninjas' parents need to be released in physical form. Random civilians I can deal with not having, but characters integral to the plot with NO good facial options? Unacceptable. Let's start clamoring now so the Ambassadors tell TLG to put out a "Ninjago Family Pack" set of some kind. Actually, exclusive family member minifigs would be good draws for a Ninjago advent calendar...hmm... Quote
LEGOman273 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Has anyone else noticed the appearent obsession with single fathers? Kai - Raised by a single father Cole - Raised by a single father Zane - Raised by a single father Quote
Lyichir Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Has anyone else noticed the appearent obsession with single fathers? Kai - Raised by a single father Cole - Raised by a single father Zane - Raised by a single father Zane's father hardly counts, since the fact that he's not technically Zane's biological father kind of removes the need for a mother. Kai's dad may not have been single either, seeing as the story started with Kai and Nya orphaned. Also, I doubt we'll get any of these characters' parents in sets. At best we might get their faces in another theme, but the somewhat plain parents of the ninja probably aren't too exciting for the younger fans of Ninjago who largely like the theme for its action. Luckily, for many of them the faces are all we need; others may need hairpieces in new colors, but none need brand-new hairpieces like Kai does. Quote

Drilll Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Now that the show has its own thread, I have a question regarding an actual set piece: Does anyone know if Pythor's head has a cobra hood on the back of the head piece that restricts movement? So far I haven't been able to see an image of Pythor from behind other than in the show. I know all the other generals have that cobra hood or something similar that keeps you from moving the head sideways, but in the show Pythor doesn't have that. I'm hoping the actual minifigure doesn't either because it would be more fun to be able to have him look around. Quote
Kalhiki Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 I highly doubt he'll have a 'cobra hood' or anything else that restricts movement. I have no evidence, but it just seems like it would be a bad move on Lego's par to put one. Hopefully the show is something to go by in which case he won't. Kalhiki Quote

Kalhiki I think he will, and I'm kind of glad. Otherwise he'd be like Frenzy from the Space Police line, and his rectangular torso could become misaligned with the rectangular base of his neck, which just looks weird. The other Ninjago characters this year with this sort of neck attachment (Garmadon, Skales, Fangtom, etc.) have extensions that inhibit their neck's movement, and I see no reason why the generals later in the year won't follow this trend.

I was wondering with my friend how Lloyd's mother... you know... got pregnant. If Lord G. was so bad, how he could find a "suitable" wife? Mistress of the Darkness XD? I would like to have a possibility of sets with Ninja's hair. I don't want bald Ninja :< Quote

Darth Nihilus Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 You're right! It really is an obsession. Kai/Nya, Cole, Zane, Lloyd, Wu, Garmadon And as far as I can see, there are no female Serpentine. Quote
CM4Sci Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 I was on CUUSOO last night, looking at random projects, and I came across this one: Ninjago: Pirates VS. Ninja I looked at the comments, and I saw one by timcourtney, who is part of the CUUSOO staff. He said: LOL. This one put a smile on my face this afternoon. :-) Could this be some confirmation that next year's villains are pirates? -Sci Quote
