Ninjago 2012

[DraikNova]

Not anything about Ninjago though.

[MakutaNocturn]

What's that? :D

[DraikNova]

We've already seen that pic, but I don't think we saw it in such a high quality.

[TheRedGuy]

I wanted to add that Lloyd's symbol was used by Illuminati.

Really? Must see.

[MakutaNocturn]

Really? Must see.

Do you know what's the name of that symbol? Ouroboros!

[KazeMonsuta]

Ourobouros was also the name of the virus in Resident Evil 5.

At least that's where I remember the name from.

[DraikNova]

It's just such an awesome symbol. That's also why the way the Ninja trapped the Great Devourer is so awesome; Ourobourus means a snake eating it's own tail!

Yep. I was writing about it around a month ago but nobody was interested. It's pretty nice that Lego is using symbols from our real world. Nice try

[TheRedGuy]

SNIP.

I thought you meant the exact print. Too good(?) to be true, I guess.

It's exact printing but there are many ways of showing it.

[DraikNova]

I prefer the picture of the great devourer biting it's own tail to the basic symbol. It's just so much cooler!

Not anything about Ninjago though.

How long will we have to wait? Funny how the name of the symbol is Ouroboros

[DraikNova]

Probably another week or two. And I think it's funnier how the designers decided to name the snake city after the symbol.

Yeah, I guess that's funnier - I kind of wondered how they got such a good name.

I was lucky enough to pick up the very last Lloyd ZX on Friday at my local TRU, for $12.99 of course. I went earlier in the week and they were sold out, told me to come back friday. Sure enough, went back and they only had one left, amazing. They were running a deal where if you spent $20 on Lego you got the little Frodo kitchen set for free, so I picked up another small Ninjago set too to get the freebie.

I am not a big Ninjago collector, but my son has been harping about the green ninja for months and I knew I had to pick this one up for Christmas, or just a small present for being good.

[Kai NRG]

The online LEGO website is now listing the new spinners (Lizaru, Lloyd ZX, Bytar, Slithraa, and NRG Zane). It will be interesting to see how long Lloyd lasts, I'll be sure to get mine in a few days!

Also, the Ninjago Minisite has Zane ZX vs. Bytar

[Tobias_Jay]

I'm just waiting for them to add the new weapons and characters.

Does anyone have an estimate as to when Lloyd will be released in Australia? I should know how long the wait is as I have experienced this many times.

[Peppermint_M]

Sorry to burst the conspiracy bubble but the snak on Lloyds logo is simply coiled... Again a popular symbol from ancient tradition but not quite the never ending circle.

[Kai NRG]

I'm just waiting for them to add the new weapons and characters. . . .

Me too. I am actually kind of suprised they don't have the NRG characters yet.

If anyone needs proof of this feel free to check the images of it in my review here.

Don't know if this is news or not (didn't see it mentioned in the last few pages), but a new Ninjago Brickmaster book is now available:

It includes Cole ZX and Lasha. Looks pretty good to me. It seems to include some useful parts, and I like that small version of Kai's Blade Cycle, although it's odd to see Cole riding it. The only disappointing thing is that the snake staff doesn't come with a symbol tile. And yeah, it has flick-fire snake missiles. I guess this was inevitable.

I think we've heard about this before, but we hadn't seen pictures. Thanks!

This Brickmaster looks just about as bad as the last one.

I disagree. I think it looks pretty good. I wouldn't go as far as to say that it was worth the RRP, but here in the UK these books can frequently be found at a discount so I'm not letting the price get to me too much.

I like the motorcycle, it's brilliant and some of the other builds look good, too. I'll admit that ramp looks a little cobbled together though - I suppose it had to be on the cover of the book because it accompanies the awesome motorcycle. I wish it was black though - maybe it was red to match Kai, but they decided to include Cole instead as a last minute change or something. Either way I'm sure it can be made in black - I'd actually like to make one of these bikes in each of the ninja colours. I hope it's possible.

While the models seem second-rate, the parts are good.

[Kai NRG]

I agree. I do like that it comes with Cole though, he's the one I'm missing. Not that I really think I'll be getting this. . .
