[Review] Lego Ninjago-70738-Final Flight of Destiny's Bounty

Recommended Posts

Hello all and welcome to my first ever Eurobrick Review! Sorry about the links I'm trying to get that fixed.

I am LegendsOfNinjago and I will be taking you through the newest Ninja HQ: Destiny's Bounty II!

Because I built the sets 3 days ago, there will not be any Building or unopened bag pictures. So sorry in advanced. HERE WE (NINJA)GO!!!

70738 The Final Flight of Destiny's Bounty

Pieces-1251

Minifigures-9+2 Screamers

Year-Summer 2015

Prices-UK-£99.99, €119.99, $119.99

(Bought mine via AmazonUK for $140)

Let's start with the box! This bad boy is big and brooding. I didn't get pictures of the back but will try to upload those later as the box is not in my grasp currently.

Along with the box, ou have the instrcution book. I only took a picture of the box to show you how large it is. Something like 232 pages make this bad boy my biggest book to date. There are also 10 numbered bags in this set and a sticker sheet with (I think) 18 stickers.

(I also want to point out that the book began falling apart on me. I am unsure if this is widespread or if it was just mine.)

Here are some new and recolored pieces. I like the new navy blue mouth cover aswell as all the new ghost pieces. Also the new Ninja masks are beauiful! The screamers are funny looking but can cover the top of a minifigures head (which I didn't get a picture of, but will with my Ronin Rex review). The AeroBlades are pretty coole and this set come with the Gold AeroBlade.

Okay so here we have the Good Guys.

18061159823_c50269d30d_z.jpg2015-06-10 12.45.03.jpg ,

Lloyd and Nya in her water garb are exclusive to this set, while Cole and Sensei (Master) Wu are not

Without weapons

18495783499_094086e16b_z.jpg2015-06-10 12.47.17.jpg ,

This is a new varient for Wu. This also appears in the Master Wu Dragon and his Dimension Pack.

18059314874_19b121c858_z.jpg2015-06-10 12.46.51.jpg ,

On to the new ghosty Baddies!

18061301843_b578b1dea0_z.jpg2015-06-10 12.48.18.jpg ,

Here we have Bansha, Morro, Spyder, Soul Archer, and Ghoultar respectively.

Without Weapons

Backs

18061303353_d8933d4715_z.jpg2015-06-10 12.49.47.jpg ,

Morro and Spyder are "exclusive" to this as Spyder is just one of many of the named Ghost Ninjas with the same basic 3 looks and Morro has a cape in this set compared to the capeless one in his Airjitzu Flyer.

ON TO THE DRAGON!!!!

So the dragon in this set is meidum sized and one of the better looking ones in this line of sets.

18495788279_e78386bf56_z.jpg2015-06-10 12.56.29.jpg ,

From head to tail he's over a foot.

18655671766_b736a91871_z.jpg2015-06-10 12.57.06.jpg ,

His head is super poseible, but because of the way it's attached to the neck, it has a problem of falling off.

18495639319_0716e49c58_z.jpg2015-06-10 12.33.27 ,

He's made up of alot of nice piece but has alot of exposed studs, gaps and a set of technic spheres just sitting there. (balls would've sounded dirty).

18684310941_57e5c89ee2_z.jpg2015-06-10 12.57.15.jpg ,

BOUNTY TIME!!!!

This guy is a monster!! far my favorite ship Lego has ever produced. Alot of really nice details and alot more deck space that the previous Bounty.

18494287070_deb03a74fa_z.jpg2015-06-10 13.04.33.jpg ,

So the sails are the same thick plastic used for the Space Batman wings and HawkMan's wings from he DC sets. There is a lever you can pull down to expand the wings and a very clever locking mechanism to keep them from falling and all you have to do to have them "undo" is pull up the small lever. This entire wing system is lock into the hull of the boat so they are super secure.

18061351113_0bef46afe7_z.jpg2015-06-10 13.09.37.jpg ,

Here's the magic underneith the wings.

18677267752_84a8e3b948_z.jpg2015-06-10 13.08.56.jpg ,

On the boat there are also these cool cannons. Just press down the black stickered "L" piece and you have studs all over the place.

18494288880_73e7375bbc_z.jpg2015-06-10 13.07.18.jpg ,

For the rest of the deck you have the new dragon head which is nicely brick built,

18495884429_c8d456e1bb_z.jpg2015-06-10 13.14.17.jpg ,

You have these to prison doors locking up swords. (They are probably in time out for being too mean)

18495880439_30f3080a01_z.jpg2015-06-10 13.13.57.jpg ,

18061401123_ae706a65af_z.jpg2015-06-10 13.14.07.jpg ,

Then there is the Cabin. Here's the enterance. I was alittle disappointed there are gaps on either side of the doorway, so I may try to fill those.

18655679136_4e33271d41_z.jpg2015-06-10 13.06.37.jpg ,

18655697096_5ae5f5a651_z.jpg2015-06-10 13.08.29.jpg ,

Here is inside. There isn't much buts some comupter screens, 2 chairs and some levers. There is also a mouse and a cheese wedge, which is accaully representing a cheese wedge!

18059348904_bf32673e36_z.jpg2015-06-10 13.08.11.jpg ,

Here is the back of the cabin. You have the newish spring loaded cannons with the hooks. This area springs out with the wings on the side which I'll show you next.

18495812669_494cfcaa19_z.jpg2015-06-10 13.07.38.jpg ,

So, here are the side wings. There are things of beauty! Here are the steps of the transformation.

18059383884_8744370738_z.jpg2015-06-10 13.11.11.jpg ,

Pretty cool, ehh? Probably my second favorite the about the Bounty, but my favorite is the hidden AirBike.

18677292662_e990d24d78_z.jpg2015-06-10 13.11.58.jpg ,

Located in the roof of the cabin, this little bike shop could almost be missed! The Bike shop is complete with the all the tools Nya could need including a few extra.

18495862279_19e02d418e_z.jpg2015-06-10 13.12.26.jpg ,

"WEEEEEEEE!!! I mean attack!"

18059403454_a09b0b68a3_z.jpg2015-06-10 13.13.02.jpg ,

This boat also has a handle, but it's kinda flimsy. I took it out, but out it back in for the sake of the review. It's only help in a small technic pin with a ball joint attached.

18655715326_1c23b42c86_z.jpg2015-06-10 13.09.54.jpg ,

The set also come with a black teasure chest and a boox full of what I assume to be silver coins.

18059420484_a9aee45ce5_z.jpg2015-06-10 13.15.20.jpg ,

I didn't get a picture of all the extra pieces as they have already found there way into sorting bins, but here are the notible ones I could remember.

18682088475_dce9078537_z.jpg2015-06-10 13.15.47.jpg ,

FINAL WORDS

All in all this set is extemely worth the money. I payed $20 more than the US MSRP and the equivilant to the UK prices and am extremely happy with the set! The Bounty is very sturdy and has great "swoshability", trust me once my family left the house last night, it was open season on the ghost. The Bounty is also very well detailed and has a ton of cool features including the AirBike, the side booster Wings, and the top wings.

The dragon while having some minor design flaws is still really cool and can be fixed with alittle TLC.

The minifigure are all very well detailed! And this bad boy has 9 figures!

Easily a 5 out of 5 in my books.

Full Set:

Hope you liked my review and if you need any more pictures or have any questions ask away!

EXTRAS!!

Althought Lloyd doen't have a face mask in this set they do look pretty cool with the suits

Great job on the review I look forward to your REX review if you are still planning on doing it. I love Soul Archer's face, I was not expecting him to have a facial hair and it was a funny surprise.

Very nice review! Is there any double sided faces on the ninja?

So Nya doesn't have a double sided face with this figure?

Considering I was building at a swimming pool,(long story) which I huge difference than my desk, it took a solid 2 hours start to finish

So normal conditions would be 1 hour and 30 minutes?

No Nya doesn't. I'm personally not a fan of her face which I forgot to take a picture of.

What's so bad about Nya's face? Excellent review by the way.
