Omega X Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Which Lego Ninjago set attracts you the most? I am personally attracted to Samurai Mech and Epic Dragon battle P.S. If it is linked to "Which set should i buy, lock this topic please. Thank you. Forgive me because I am not sure how this forum operates Omega X
Cutty Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 The Samurai mech, the small snake bike with the black ninja and the four headed dragon set, although that last one might be a little out of my price range. Oh! And the "NRG"-form spinner sets, just for the novelty and, who knows, maybe those figures, strangely coloured and patterned as they are, will become handy later on for representing generic "energy" or elemental beings... apart from that? Well, nothing really. Be well! Cutty
horizon Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 To me the summer 2012 Ninjago sets are the least cool of all Ninjago releases. The ultrasonic raider has some redeeming qualities in it. But looking at the whole range it is only an average set. Best Ninjago sets imo: Lightning Dragon battle, Fire Temple, Skull Truck, Destiny's Bounty, Earth Dragon, Ice Dragon.
Aanchir Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 The Epic Dragon Battle is by far the one I'm most anticipating, because it includes great minifigures and a great dragon design. However, I find the Great Devourer in the set a bit underwhelming. The Ultra Sonic Raider is perhaps the coolest model from the wave all-around, but my younger brother intends to get that, which is probably just as well since by that time I'm sure I'll have most of the minifigures from that set (besides Pythor, of course). I'm not all that impressed by the Samurai Mech or Lasha's Bite Cycle, which kind of surprises me since those are both designed by Mark Stafford and I usually love his set designs. The Samurai Mech is brilliant in a lot of ways, but doesn't appeal to me as much as the other Ninja vehicles this year. Lasha's Bite Cycle is nicely-designed but seems lacking in play features compared to many of the other vehicle sets this year.
purpleparadox Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Epic Dragon Battle looks alright, but I'm still on the fence about it. Tight budget with Monster Fighters coming out! I'll probably be buying Lasha's Bite Cycle, and Jay NRG is a must-have!
Algernon Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 The only set I can see myself picking up is the Samurai Mech, because I enjoy the design and it seems reasonably priced. NinjaGo isn't my favorite theme, so I'm not too interested in the other releases (especially Epic Dragon Battle... I honestly don't see the appeal there at all...) If the Sonic Raider was at a lower price point, I'd consider it as well, but with so many other themes coming out this Summer I can't spare much room in the budget for NinjaGo.
caperberry Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Samurai Mech. I got the chance to play with it at AFOLCON last week and it is fantastic. Also has excellent pieces including new ones.
Im a brickmaster. Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 I like the soinc rider and samuri mech sets. The new booster packs also are pretty nice.
TheRedGuy Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 For me the Ultra Sonic Raider looks like the best one. I'll also be saving up my money for Epic Dragon Battle.
Vindicare Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 Epic Dragon Battle edges out Ultra Sonic Raider and Samurai Mech. I've only gotten the dragon sets in the past, so I'll be branching out with buying the other two. I really like that Pythor fig, for whatever reason. Then, getting all four ninjas is a nice plus. I like the Mech, hopefully the build will differ from other mechs of the past. Plus, who doesn't love Samurais.
Peppermint_M Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 Ok, so from the subtitle this belongs in the already established discussion thread. Locking
