gamejutzu Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) 28 minutes ago, FunkyMonk said: Thank you for your feedback. This was my initial impression too. It seems that there is a trend for more realistic (and yet talking snakes and dragons ... ) look in the sets over years. Is it intentional that Lego is targeting an older audience more than a younger one with its Ninjago theme? If so, when did this change become apparent? I don't think there was ever a change. The theme itself dictates which of the two styles it will use. For example, the jungle theme in 2015 was very colorful, but the ghost theme later that year had dark blue, purple and pale green as the main colors. Then in the beginning of 2016, the pirate theme was very colorful. 28 minutes ago, FunkyMonk said: I must say the Fire Temple is a fantastic compromise between vivid colours of the dragon and more dulled aesthetics of the temple. Not to mention that the build of it was very rewarding. Are there more sets like this in Ninjago theme? The Temple of Airjitzu is a very nice set when completed. But then again, it's the largest Ninjago set to date, so if you're asking for your kid that might not be a good idea Maybe try something from the 2015 jungle theme, like set 70749? Or something from summer 2016 like 70596? Edited March 20, 2017 by gamejutzu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aanchir Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) It's worth noting that Ninjago has never really been aimed at four-year-olds… at least, not until last year when LEGO first released some Ninjago-themed Juniors sets. Like most "big bang" themes, Ninjago is aimed at ages 7 and up. The Fire Temple in particular was aimed at ages 9–14, which is a pretty high age range for a KFOL-targeted set! So if it appeals to 4-year-olds, it's mostly incidental, not intentional. Frankly, a lot of the kids in the target age range probably wouldn't want to feel like they're playing with a toy they would've played with when they were 4. I do, however, feel like a kid might get a kick out of Airjitzu Battle Grounds or Ultra Stealth Raider. Edited March 21, 2017 by Aanchir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do, however, feel like a kid might get a kick out of Airjitzu Battle Grounds or Ultra Stealth Raider. First of all, thank you for your suggestions of sets. I looked at the Ultra Stealth Rider before and I could see it being appealing to my son Target age is an interesting point. My understanding of it is that it reflects on a complexity of the build rather than on how it appeal. No doubt that The Fire Temple is to complex for a 4-year-old to build but once put together it can be as enjoyable toy as any other. All Lego in my view is like this Technic line inclusive. Kids love big machinery, movable parts, engines etc and Technic does not break so easily Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be incredible to see Lego fully embracing modulars and begin making modulars throughout their licenses. Imagine a modular Arkham Asylum or a modular Daily Planet. One can dream....

I think it would also help synergize the different brands. People that say only bought Ninjago before might start considering the creator and city line more seriously.

BubbaFit45531 Posted March 24, 2017 Thanks for the info. Also, seems like the new 24588 Vermillion armor with neck guard isn't intended to accommodate some hair or helmets. Maybe a Zane square fro will work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's likely it is scratching surfaces when you move them even if you don't hold that part of the hood. I'm glad when the designers get rid of the printing in that area for newer dual-moulded hoods but it seems the new hoods for the LEGO Ninjago movie will have prints on the forehead part... Cross fingers it's not easily scratched. Edited March 25, 2017 by makoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A glorious Ninjago treasure island lies on the horizon, yet is painfully beyond our reach. We have run out of fresh Vermillion supplies, some crew members are taking their resort in rumours of what lies ahead, others have dug up old topics to ward off the boredom on the Discussion 2017 ship.

Scarilian Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Just wondering when the images would be revealed? as i doubt they'll appear with this site. On 28/02/2017 at 2:10 AM, Scarilian said: 1.

I've listed the Ninjago City as i'm fairly sure it'll happen even though i dont think its been confirmed yet... Including the recently mentioned Junior's set and the Shark Mech this would have the total as 13 sets in the Ninjago movie theme so far.

PenPlays Posted March 30, 2017 To those specualting Ninjago City is the $150+ set, Lego doesn't announce or give placeholders to any stores regarding D2C exclusives. If Ninjago City is a D2C, it's not on the list of blank pages and prices we just got. Come to think of it, no store but Lego gets to sell the D2C sets. So this website won't ever list Ninjago City regardless if it exists or not (or is a D2C in the first place). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
