 No, this is should be everything for the summer wave, and I personally think it has everything it needs, also the flagship set should be the landbounty.

It's definitely not bad as one, I was just kind of expecting something bigger based on the last few years. I think shifting the largest price point sets to be purely legends makes a lot more sense though, cause like how many kids were getting the Temple Bounty or the Tournament Temple City anyway?

I would have swapped out Nya for Lloyd in the Grimtak set and have a second loyalist in the Lloyd dragon battle pack instead of Jay since you can get both of their normal looks in that new land bounty set

Only if the claw piece stayed in the Lloyd set. As otherwise there's not a cheap option to get that part for your Dragon Ninja

Yeah, could have those stored on the mechs waist without an issue

Ninjago continues to have by far the best older-demo targeting subline, and continues to tempt me. The Dragon blade is an incredible set and I'm very tempted to get and display it with a Golden Lloyd figure (and removing the mech), and the Ultra Dragon Battle is something that probably will be my first ninjago purchase over $10 since I was a kid- unless I crack and buy the Fire Knight Mech first.

I assume the more humanoid design for the Ultra Dragon will turn some people off the set, but it looks so imposing and cool to me. It also lends to the feeling that this is a legend/myth, hence the different interpretation of the battle.

Are there any new molds introduced in Ninjago’s summer wave?

Aside from new heads for the fire/ice monsters, we also have new claw pieces and waist holster for swords

Not bad, a nice amount of new parts!

Also, is that Dragon claw a new piece?

Yeah, I assume they didn't have the budget for it in this years first wave

Interesting that this is the first year that I don’t have any interest in the summer Dragons Rising sets, but Legends and Legacy fill my interest now. I was hoping to like the Land Bounty but the small size and lack of proper interior negates its appeal for me. Nonetheless I appreciate those are sacrificed in favour of play value with the multiple vehicles it can be split into.

The Legends sets are quite strong IMO, although I wish they had more unique minifigures between them. Battle at the Dragon Blade is SUCH a unique concept, unfortunately the mech and dragon builds aren’t the best but you can clearly tell that’s  a result of the parts budget being mostly used up by the fantastic dragon skull and sword builds. I probably would have sacrificed the mech and dragon builds and used the parts to populate some foliage around the skull to give it more of an aged look.

In any case, another incredible year for Ninjago. I am so hyped for that new waist sword holster too.
