I stopped buying Lego in 1986; i started again in 2007. That makes a lot of dark years! And a lot of missed subthemes. I had another Ninja set, but I thought I wouldn't skip this one.

The spear was in the box. But where is my flag???????????????????

My first thought was: No instructions? No problem!
Then I guessed the flag was in the instructions sheet. But I found no instructions on the internet either.
So the point is: I bought a MISB set and one piece was missing. And not a 1x2 plate, but something more rare and expensive. Damn.
The set itself is good, simple, cheap. As usual, a 1x2 plate and a 1x2 brick will take place if the horse doesn't have the saddle. Good colour choice (black and blue ALWAYS work great together); great torso and head pieces too.
I don't think I would have bought the larger sets, but the small Ninja products were great. (search the forums for other member's review, or check the index).
Looks like a standard in my reviews, but I also rate this one 4/5.
