Ninja of Fire Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Does anyone know if the new sets will be available for Australia by June 1st on shop.LEGO.com??? If I knew, I'd have probably screamed in excitement by now. Quote
TheOneVeyronian Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Looks like Jay Walker One is exclusive to Argos in the UK. £29.99. That would leave me to assume that Chain Cycle Ambush is the Smyths exclusive, but I couldn't see it in the Smyths I visited yesterday, despite them having all the other Ninjago sets out Quote
AmperZand Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Next Monday is 1st June, the scheduled release date of these sets in Europe. There's an extremely high chance that they'll all be out at the LEGO Store by then I picked up 70734 Sensei Wu Dragon at the LEGO store in Shepherds Bush yesterday. I wasn't really paying attention, but I think they had the other summer releases too. If you go to a LEGO store and you don't see the latest releases you're after, it's worth asking the staff if they have it in the stockroom. I was considering an Elves summer 2015 set. They didn't have it on the shelves but did have it in stock and were willing to sell it to me. Edited May 31, 2015 by AmperZand Quote
Ninja of Fire Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Check this out, guys: http://www.buildplayfun.com/ninjago. Plots (?), wallpapers and more! Quote
DuckBricks Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Check this out, guys: http://www.buildplayfun.com/ninjago. Plots (?), wallpapers and more! Great find! I downloaded the background with Inspect Element as usual... Thanks! Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 I picked up Airjitzu Zane a few days ago, and I must say, it's a brilliant set! The Zane minifigure is beautiful, and the flyer works marvellously. Quote

But good to know my local LEGO Store has them out. Did you happen to see the prices of City of Stiix (because I believe TRU's £100 price is inflated) and Chain Cycle Ambush in there? Quote
Ondra Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Im pretty unpatient, but I found interesting thing.I watched leaked episodes of new ninjago series and every ending have scenery with temple.I think its same temple as seen on some wallpapers aka temple on haunted hill.Maybe this doesnt mean nothing, but this temple looks plausible like real set. If you ask me, I dont really know why they use some kind of for this time unknown building in ending. Quote

Ondra Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Can you tell me where you saw the leaked episodes? Youtube, 45 episode is down but 46 and 47 are still up split in two parts.Just search "ninjago episode 46"or 47 .It is in german language. Edited May 31, 2015 by Ondra Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 I.hope we see amazon put the sets up early so i can buy them all. Quote
Aanchir Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Check this out, guys: http://www.buildplayfun.com/ninjago. Plots (?), wallpapers and more! Wow, that Zane wallpaper looks epic! I don't really like how it looks on my desktop, though. Bit of a shame. Quote
Boogly22238 Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) I like the dragon art, much more since I can see the full thing. The teeth on the sides of his head look weird, though. Airjitzu art rocks. Edited May 31, 2015 by Boogly22238 Quote
8BrickMario Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Possessed Lloyd is one of the better figs I've seen recently. Very dark and spooky. I wonder how he'd look with the wraith lower body? Quote
MrFishboy11 Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Anyone know where to watch the new season in English? And anyone know how JangBricks got the City of Stiix set so early? Quote
Aanchir Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Just was making some changes to my minifigure checklist for this year and I realized that technically speaking, there seem to be a lot fewer unique minifigures than their names would imply. Other than the four ghost masters (Bansha, Wrayth, Soul Archer, and Ghoultar) there are basically only three ghost minion designs: Hood, red eyebrows, and torso with no sash. All four Ghost Ninja use this design, as does Ghost Warrior Yokai (who also has a sword holder). Straw hat, black balaclava, and torso with no sash. Ghost Warriors Wail and Pitch both use this design. Pitch also has a pannier. Straw hat, red eyebrows, and torso with sash. Ghost Warriors Cyrus, Pyrrhus, Ghurka, and Cowler all use this design. Ghurka also has a quiver. Cowler also has a sword holder in 70736, but not in his other appearances. Knowing this might make deciding what sets to get easier for some people. Quote

Lind Whisperer Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 I'm watching the example videos for Airjitsu tricks, and all I can think is "Man, the way the concrete must be scuffing up those poor plastic spinners..." Quote

That's odd, the way they try to pass them off as separate characters. Perhaps they just want the army to look larger? That vampiric red-eyebrow head is used on almost every soldier, and am I wrong, or are Ghoultar, Morro, and Bansha are the only ghosts with unique heads? Quote

May I add that Pitch doesn't have his pannier in 70731? Also, the balaclavas are almost definitely Earth Blue, not black I also took the liberty of isolating the Morro Dragon art seen in the link posted earlier, and here it is! Shame there's something obscuring part of the body. Quote
cooper ace Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 The sets are out on LEGO.shop.com in Australia!!!! Quote
8BrickMario Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 And, of course, the only part of the show's Morro Dragon that looks like a LEGO piece is the claws! I really wish these shows at least tried to look more LEGO-like. The only parts identifiable as such are the minifigure characters! It does look cool, though. And I really want the set version! Quote

That vampiric red-eyebrow head is used on almost every soldier, and am I wrong, or are Ghoultar, Morro, and Bansha are the only ghosts with unique heads? Wrayth and Soul Archer also. It's only the minion characters who share head designs. What I find more unusual is that Ghoultar (the most common of the five major ghosts) is the only one who lacks a variant with actual legs. Wrayth, Bansha, and Soul Archer all come in both legs and slime variants, but Ghoultar always has a slime trail. And, of course, the only part of the show's Morro Dragon that looks like a LEGO piece is the claws! I really wish these shows at least tried to look more LEGO-like. The only parts identifiable as such are the minifigure characters! It does look cool, though. And I really want the set version! I disagree. I actually really like that the show's design language uses so few obvious LEGO pieces, because I feel like this allows for more creative license with how the non-set creatures, vehicles, and props can be represented in LEGO. If everything looked like actual LEGO, then it would seem like there is a "right way" and a "wrong way" to build them, and if only the things in sets looked like actual LEGO they'd stick out like a sore thumb. But when everything is stylized (even the things that DO exist as sets), that means that there is no official LEGO design for the the creatures, vehicles, and props that don't come as sets, which means they can be built however you choose. There's also a secondary advantage of stylizing everything, which is that this way it won't be obvious if the sets weren't finalized when the TV episodes were being created.

8BrickMario Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) I think it's odder that the others come with legs! Only Wrayth has a reason for legs, since he needs them to fit in the Airjitzu flyer. But Bansha and Soul Archer don't really need legs in the sets they have them in. Perhaps it takes more effort for the ghosts to manifest legs, and only do so when they want to? Also, I've been a bit bothered that Bansha is so attractive looking. The other ghosts are quite ghoulish, but if Bansha's face design was transposed onto a yellow head and given pupils, she'd look normal. Even though she is the ghosts' token female, LEGO's perfectly capable of making ugly female villains, so I don't get why Ghoultar is a skeletal ectoplasm, and Bansha gets away with a comparatively normal design.
