LegendsOfNinjago Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I just don't think that symbol looks like Nya's. It looks more like a dragon or something, but i do agree it looks alot like the pheonix, i just really hope it's not. I want nya to remain a Samurai.... Quote
obsidianheart Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Watched the turntable video again because I wasn't paying much attention the first time. Just realized the slimer-ghosts look like they could fit over someone's head a-la the Alien Conquest minialiens. Quote
GoldenChi Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I'm convinced that's Nya. Garmadon hinted at Nya's potential to unlock her elemental powers and the symbol is the same as hers. And even if Skylor's minifig doesn't appear in this wave,she could still be in the show. And she might not have even changed her costume. Quote
Takanuinuva Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I have to say. Nya's new Samurai gear is starting to grow on me. Since she has the same gear for both the winter and summer waves save for the black shoulder armor. I'll get the summer version. I still want a minifig of Nya's rebooted outfit. And now a Kabuki Nya as well. Quote

And even if Skylor's minifig doesn't appear in this wave,she could still be in the show. And she might not have even changed her costume. I completely agree, I can see her being a Master of Water and adding a touch of blue to her normal red outfit to symbolize her new powers. Perhaps Lar was planned for Tournament of Elements, but the book he was found in contained prelim info (i.e. Turner's hair is black and other inaccuracies) and was later cut because they added the plot point of being descendants of elemental masters, and they are saving water for Nya Quote
Dr.Cogg Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Do you guys think the D2C temple set will be based on the Tournament or the Ghost Ninja story line, I personally would like a Ghost Temple. Quote
Master_Data Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 ^ I'm hoping for a Ghost Temple as well. Quote
legofanatic12 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 The Ghost Temple set should include the remaining Elemental Masters besides Turner, Toxikita, Paleman (Invizable), Karlof, and Skylor since they are allied with the ninjas at the end of the show. Quote
PenPlays Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Regarding Nya's (potential) powers. What if she's a master of Fire and Water? Hence the Dark red/azure. The combo would be steam which due to it being a vapor would associate her power with... ...Air The Ghost Temple set should include the remaining Elemental Masters besides Turner, Toxikita, Paleman (Invizable), Karlof, and Skylor since they are allied with the ninjas at the end of the show. I don't think it will include Toxikita and Invizable for... reasons But some characters like Bolobo, Gravis, Jacob, Neuro, Camille or Shadow, I'll be fine with. I can see them bringing back Karloff or Turner as well. Regarding the style of the Temple. I would love a glow-in-the-dark, back/dark blue Temple, but a classic white/brown/gold/red Temple would be fine as well. Quote
Mandate Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Look very closely... It's not very hard to tell. No, you look very closely at the wisps of flame on both symbols. They are posed in different directions. Also for those of you thinking that PIXAL is the new Ninja: I don't think that she will be removed from his head anytime soon, as she now is, quite literally, vital to Zane. No, she isn't. Zane is vital to her, not the other way around. She's basically the Falcon now, completely useless and pointless until the plot demands it. We've seen multiple pictures from multiple angles in multiple different lighting settings. It's not dark red. Also, Nya is not the master of Water, either. Water might not even be canon to the TV show universe (yet, anyway. There's a direct quote from Chen regarding the elements, but retcons can always happen). And even if she was, why would she be brown (or as some of you insist, dark red)? Wouldn't light azure be a far better color to communicate the point of water? Brown has nothing to do with regular water anyway. Edited February 4, 2015 by Mandate Quote

Only because the writers thought it would be a great idea to wipe Zane's memory, without any explanation for why it happened or what caused it. But either way, she's now an on-demand app. She's Microsoft's Cortana app now (pun intended). Bring her up when you need to ask her a favor, then close her and forget about her until you next need her. This is getting off-topic, btw. Quote

Brown has nothing to do with regular water anyway. I'm quite certain that it is dark red, just look at this picture: http://i.imgur.com/82W8dXZ.jpg Both the minifigure and the DB 2 are shown, and conveniently, the Bounty has both dark red and brown pieces on it, the dark red is definitely closer to the colour of the minifigure. The reason that she'd be red and not a more watery colour is probably that all her previous suits have featured red, (the samurai mech also features a lot of dark red pieces), while if this was a new character, the designers could have chosen a different colour to go alongside the blue. My guess is that red is used so that the character is more recognisable as Nya. Then there's the symbol, it's not Nya's, but it is very similar, (and is probably intended to be that way), now if Nya does gain elemental powers, it would make sense for the symbol to change to better represent those powers. Just like how Lloyd's ZX suit featured a snake in the back, but after he got his golden power at the temple of light, his symbol changed to a dragon's head. Quote

Water is in fact a canon element.Did you watch episode 40?In the flashback,a woman is doing some water manipulation.So maybe the reason why there wasn't a water master is because that role belongs to Nya.And yes I'm aware that a water master guy appeared in an activity book or something.

My guess is that red is used so that the character is more recognisable as Nya.. The only dark red I can see is at the bow of the ship, on the hull. And that is a shade very far from the chocolate brown of the minifigure. It is not red. As I said before, we have had numerous pictures in different lighting conditions. It is brown. On a side-note, there's two shades of brown on that ship, not one. There isn't even any proof to support the idea that Nya will get powers, let alone water powers! Nya has, always, no matter what, been represented with fire. Both her 2011 card and Samurai X card show her with fire abilities. Lloyd's change in symbols was to represent attaining the title of Ultimate Spinjitzu Master, and Lloyd has been shown with a dragon head as his symbol despite losing his power ever since. Water is in fact a canon element.Did you watch episode 40?In the flashback,a woman is doing some water manipulation.So maybe the reason why there wasn't a water master is because that role belongs to Nya.And yes I'm aware that a water master guy appeared in an activity book or something. "All of the elements, at my command!" - Chen, referring to his Staff with a distinct lack of water inside it. Now then, I suppose you give some irrefutable proof that that is Kai and Nya's mother. I will admit I screwed up on the "water is not canon" thing, I hadn't noticed water beaming out of her hands beforehand. Regardless, there is no proof whatsoever that she was Nya's mother. And again, I will say this: why choose brown (or dark red, whatever) to represent water alongside slight usage of dark azure? edit: Also, the books aren't canon. Never have been, never will be.

Anyway, I'm going to wait until we get clearer pictures from New York Toy Fair before continuing to discuss this one minifigure. There's really no way to tell who she is for sure until then, or possibly even later than that. Edited February 4, 2015 by JasonEffex Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 alittle over a week. I hope all ten sets are at the Fair and that we get really good pictures. Quote
Dangan Galaxy Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 So basically, what's going on is that the female ninja minifig with blue on the hood from the Toy Fair in I think Germany is possibly Nya because people think that Kai's father married the Master of Water from Garmadon's flash back in Ep. 40, and because of this, Nya inherited powers from her mother instead of from her father, and she'll unlock them in the summer wave/season?

That's about the size of it. It's all speculation though. The minifigure is most likely Nya though. Whether she's officially a Ninja, or this is just another disguise remains to be seen.

TPLSTER21 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Well, from what I have seen of the summer sets they are certainly....different. The downside for me is that outside of the Destiny Bounty and Cole's Motorcycle sets, it appears that most of the sets seem to be sorely lacking in play features. No missiles, shooters, detachable pieces, hidden action features, nada. The mech's, which you would think would be very "gimmick heavy" seem to do nothing other than hold their weapons, which to me is just unacceptable in a set at that price point. Ronin R.E.X.'s main feature seems to be "turning propellers when ripcord is pulled" which is a total snore. I hope that the set descriptions will reveal more features. Also, I see that there are supposed to be 10 sets, but it looks like we only saw 5 (DB, Morrow Dragon, Mechs, Wu Dragon, REX). I know 2 of the unseen sets are Cole's bike and Jay's "Walker", but can anyone tell me what the other 3 are? Quote

BringHimSoup Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 What are you talking about? The Destiny's Bounty has flick missiles in the back where you can transform the engines. I don't know about Cole's motorcycle though. Quote

JasonEffex Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Morro dragon has flapping wings controlled by a lever on the underside. I thought that at first, but then I realized that the person who was holding it was just moving the wings with his fingers. The lack of features with a lot of these sets is a big downside, especially for the morro dragon, which as far as I can tell, just glows in the dark like everything else in this wave. For me, how the sets look makes up for the lack of features, a lot more than the final battle sets did (that were also low on features). But it is a step down from previous waves. Edited February 5, 2015 by JasonEffex Quote
PenPlays Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) You can't expect lots of features in the Dragon sets. However, regarding the other sets that we have seen: -The Blaster Bike has dual multi-shooters (the Bionicle Protector/Star Wars Battle Pack six-shooters). -Jay Walker One is a Ninjago car... No doubt there's something hidden, if Cole's Tread Assault, and the X-1 Ninja Charger have anything to go by. -Ronin R.E.X. integrates the Airjitzu launchers into a set. This integration also gives it spinning rotors. The vehicle also has a large, sturdy handle to carry it by. This is the only set that includes the titular villain of the Ninjago Shadow of Ronin video game. -The Titan Mech battle is the first set to include two large mechs since Exo-Force. On of them is a Samurai Mech clone, yet there definitely appears to be more to it than meets the eye. -The Final Flight of the Destiny's Bounty features a control room, stud launchers, recoiling sails, a very elaborate thruster mechanism, a hidden motorbike, and an "all new Ninja." It is also the only set that includes Lloyd in his green Gi. Lets not forget that every ninja vehicle is complemented with a mini Morro Dragon. Edited February 5, 2015 by Penkid11 Quote
