They totally messed up his colour scheme and not only that -- you can't even use Cole as a generic ninja without changing his arms to black. I don't know why they made him sleeveless. Totally made him 'useless' for army building... They made him sleeveless because normally he is the strong one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
makoy Posted July 15, 2017 Just now, Sr1847 said: They made him sleeveless because normally he is the strong one Well with this argument, then Superman should be sleeveless. Even from the Ninjago CMF line, there isn't a desirable ninja-army building minifig. The closest one is Lloyd but it's really a missed opportunity to make a generic ninja foot soldiers out of Cole in normal black suit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oddly satisfying to see them like this. Definitely going to customize Nya this way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone will need more time and patience doing this, not that I am impatient, but I would rather use a different torso entirely.... because there is another problem with the movie version of Cole --- his chest is exposed! Btw, it is indeed good to see the normal TV-canon face on the ninjas. Thanks @Jurik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ToaDraco Posted July 15, 2017 First review of the Green Mech Dragon up on youtube! My opinion is unchanged, what a fantastic looking set, my only gripe is that the tail seems to be too floppy but it looks amazing overall, can't wait to pick one up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msJmh72u5jA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blazej_Holen Posted July 15, 2017 So now when we can see speed build of Temple and Bounty (brickministry) what is your first impressions? I personally love Bounty because of its detailed interior and plenty of cabins but Temple seems dull od stickers which is shame... :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peppermint_M Posted July 15, 2017 Aww man, my local shops have only just got the summer City/Star Wars/Friends/Nexo Knights so it is going to be aaages until the movie sets. I'm going to have to get to Smyths toys and hope! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamejutzu Posted July 15, 2017 They've only changed Cole's look for the movie though. Hands of Time's Cole and Nya co-exist with black and grey colors. 17 hours ago, Umbra-Manis said: It can't be just me who think those figures look immensely better with the TV heads and hair, right? I think the figures look a lot better with the old hair as well (except Zane's, his fits the figure way better). But the faces are pretty good honestly.

Totally made him 'useless' for army building... I don't want to be rude, but it seems like the movie is trying to make the ninja designs a bit more unique when in uniform than before, so realism and army building were never the idea. And if you're gentle, it's possible to swap arms around. Edited July 15, 2017 by 8BrickMario Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I totally agree they are trying out new stuff that may not please people like me who see Cole as the one of the most important ninja not only because he wears black. To me, he's the link between the past and the future line of Ninja. Sounds cheesy LOL.... but I look forward to future designs that TLG will come up for him.

LegendsOfNinjago Posted July 15, 2017 Quick update, the LEGO store in my mall was closed for a remodel so I couldn't get the bar codes to scan at Target, and the other two Target didn't have anything. ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just that I want to modify the tanks cannon when I get the set. Edit; I think that the small ones may be trans light blue wheels I'm not sure myself what those parts are, but upon seeing that picture you posted, I'm kind of irked that we at least didn't get the smaller X Wing canopy in Trans. Light Blue instead in the actual set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

obsidianheart Posted July 15, 2017 I went to the Target nearest to me (but not the best one in the area), but they didn't have any new sets. Blew all my money on an unrelated item, so now I'm gonna wait a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
