LEGO Pictorial Review: 70739 Airjitzu Kai Flyer

Recommended Posts

Hello guys. This is my first review (perhaps and new post) in this forum, so I bit nervous about am I doing all things right, also I worrying about my English skills :) Ok, never mind. As I have writing reviews on this set in several others languages I found there is no any information about these series yet neither on BrickSet or Bricklink, so I nervous of being pathfinder - it's not my role :D But on another hand I'm very exited because no one have reviewed this one (may be is, but didn't seen). Ok, now we start:

Set#: 70739

Name: Airjitzu Kai Flyer

Theme: Ninjago

Year: 2015

Pieces: 47 (counted all except minifigure and his mask)

Minifigs: 1

MSP: € 9,99

Take a look of this awesome flying model. At first glance it doesn't look so cool, but when you test it, your opinion will change, this stuff is really fun, especially when you're playing in team (: Packaging is very similar to Legends of Chima Speedorz theme (those which are more newer). Also there is some similar functions including that belt.

From another side there is some pictures on how to construct this model, how to rip it and fly :) There is also pictured Kai (red ninja) minifigure, some weapons and two golden shuriken. Also advert of all Airjitzu sets in this line yet.

Instructions - there is no any file for now in Lego Service web, but perhaps they will ad soon. Also inside the booklet there is some kind of link to the web page, where should be some of Airjitzu hints, from how to till watch how I can :) But still nothing. Now I'm thinking, may be it's a bug, that we have these sets in our local stores already, when all the world is awaiting for it's release? :D

image.jpg

This is that belt I mentioned before. Looks not very strong? Trust me it is :) As these sets were designed to kids, who uses bricks not very carefully (not all but a majority) so some parts should be made very strong, and with friend from our LUG we have tested it well :)

image.jpg

Ok, lets see how looks our new styled ninja Kai. As I don't like Ninjago a lot, so all minifigures seems to me the same - not interesting, but not this time. This one restyled minifigure looks pretty cool from both sides, even mask looks more detailed than ever (maybe be shown).

image.jpg

There is enough cool prints form front and back. In face side we see any kind of hieroglyph (anyone knows the meaning?) and from back we can see something reminding to lion (or tiger) face. Also like that flame pattern.

image.jpg

As you can see this guy also has red skin head - perhaps hands and arms are showing red skin too. But from face mimic it looks frightening, is he really good guy?

image.jpg

This is how looks almost whole set (excluding extra parts, weapons and rip belt). As shown on the box, minifigure can be placed in the glass cabin, but its funny, because there is no studs on the floor so minifigure could stand fixated. Besides this air spinner flying better without figure. There is no chance cabin will open in the air, because it fits well in sockets. Lever is designed well - its very comfortable to handle it, but it could be bigger a bit (don't forget it designed to children).

image.jpg

What we got here? I think its one of the coolest sorts of weapons. Golden shuriken and single sword are a bit flexible.

image.jpg

Some extra parts. Frequently extra parts in these sets come from weapons, some time from lever.

image.jpg

And this is how it looks in comparison - see any big differences? All sets are almost the same, change only a color, and you'll get another handle. Also there is different icons with hieroglyphs. Spin it carefully, don't point it on your face, don't spin it strong at home - there is some consequences :D Thanks for your time and I'm waiting for comments :) The bigger photos you can find on our LitLug Flickr acc.

"In face side we see any kind of hieroglyph (anyone knows the meaning?)"

They made it out to be the ninjago symbol for the fire element, I don't think it actually translates to anything in real life. Also the "lion or tiger face" on the back side has served both as his identification mark, and as a representation of his dragon.

"But from face mimic it looks frightening, is he really good guy?"

Yes

Awesome job on the review!

Thanks :) I know Kai and other ninjas are good fellows, but he has severe look :)

This Kai reminds me of the NRG version. Also, I never seen the shurikens connected like that.

Plus, from the spare parts it looks like you could make a dagger with them. (That is probably what I would do with them.)

Nice review. For far those pins on the trans-clear dome piece are from each other? 2 or three studs (hopefully)?

3 studs apart. (So would fit onto a 1x4 beam)

Great review Ramadalis!

I wasn't such a fan of this set, but the elemental version of Kai and the opportunity to purchase the golden sword cheaply are quite enticing.

Will you be reviewing any others if the series? I was thinking of buying the Morro set.
