Megaflora Posted February 2, 2018 So we're looking at an Assembly Square price range? Damn, I really want to like this set but I can't get behind that price no matter how nice the other side looks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert8 Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) Is this actually a D2C set? Because I don't recall any other D2C sets being in a prems catalog Actually, why would be a D2C set in a prems catalog? IMO, this looks to be like the equivalent to The LEGO Batman Movie Arkham Asylum set rather than another D2C Edited February 2, 2018 by Robert8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dardanel Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) Out of curiosity why does everyone say that it's 32x48? Was it revealed as such somewhere? To me, it looks like 48x48 at least, maybe even 64x64. If this is indeed the backside, the front side needs room as well. Edited February 2, 2018 by Dardanel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whovastron Posted February 2, 2018 Hmmm, Ninjago City was the first Ninjago Set I bought because of its amazing design. Hearing that there would be a sequel set for me really excited, but this doesn’t really capture what was great about the prior set to me. The mix of designs and now-Tokyo look of the last set was very appealing, but this has virtually none of that. ill wait to see official picture of both sides before making my mind up on purchasing though.

Megaflora Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) Unless I'm forgetting something, that makes it the most expensive non-D2C set ever followed by the Solo Falcon which is around $180. I just don't get LEGO's intent behind this set at all. Its way too expensive for kids or parents to even consider (almost 2× any other big set on the shelf) and on top of that is from a year-old movie that didn't actually do very well. On the plus side, clearance! Edited February 2, 2018 by Megaflora Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the plus side, clearance! If it is in the $200–$250 price range, then plenty of motorized/electronic sets have been as expensive or more, such as monorails, Mindstorms, and the Technic Bucket Wheel Excavator and All-Terrain Tow Truck. Plus, just because the movie didn't do well doesn't mean the merchandise didn't. If Destiny's Bounty sold well enough at the $160 price point and Ninjago City at the $300 price point, that could certainly give LEGO the confidence to release a set that falls somewhere in between.

Dr.Cogg Posted February 2, 2018 Looking at the picture of Ninjago City Docks, I've noticed its wider than Ninjago City and the blue building continues the walk way in front of the Ninjago City comic book store and has stairs leading to the ground floor.

Its 32x48 footprint (counted it) :) And yep u 're right, it connects to the side of NC where commic book store is. So that confirms its portraited from behind. I am eager to see more detailed pictures and what functions or interiors will be there. Hope at least for 2-3 normal apartments, and some surprise with minifigs...possibly Princess of NC :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AnnaBuildsLego Posted February 2, 2018 There's no doubt that it's a nice build, but that price is WAY out of proportion for this thing. Compared to Ninjago City, it really doesn't look like it gives you the right amount of value for that huge amount of money - very strange that this set is being produced. I think the price range of a regular modular building would be much more suited to the Docks. I'm genuinely interested in how this set will perform. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope at least for 2-3 normal apartments, and some surprise with minifigs...possibly Princess of NC :) Being 32x48, I think it would be a fantastic solution if the Ninjago Dockyards could be split up in two sections (16x32 + 32x32) - one attached to each side of the Ninjago City. Otherwise, they will have to release a third part of the city, so my minifigs can actually access the ground floor Ninjago City elevator without swimming. Judging from the leaked image, it doesn't exactly look like it will split in two, but the set does have this conspicuous straight line running through it, between the lower, grey staircase with the white minifig and the fruit vendor building - incidentally around the 15-16 stud line from the left. Also, there seems to be a small grey arch in the water, just behind/beneath the brown/sand pillar to the left, at a point which seems to fit with connecting it to the "elevator side" of Ninjago City. At least it would be a cool idea, I think :) Looking forward to some official pictures from other angles! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr.Cogg Posted February 3, 2018 I think I know why Ninjago City Docks seem like its not a fair price: #1 It came after Ninjago City which probably should have cost $400, but Lego was feeling generous with the price per part and the minifigs for that set, so they sold it for $ 300. #2 Ninjago City Docks is wider than Ninjago City, so rather than going upward, it goes outward. #3 (speculation) its price per part and minifigure count both seem about right for a set this size.

Megaflora Posted February 3, 2018 Ninjago City's price-to-piece ratio was great but it wasn't really much different then the other non-licensed D2C sets released last year. It just had a lot more minifigures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whovastron Posted February 3, 2018 Perhaps the price we’ve been leaked is just not accurate, and it will turn out to be a lot less? I remember people saying the UCS Millenium Falcon would be £750, but if was £100 less than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGlynreaper Posted February 3, 2018 I don't ever intend to buy the ninjago city set as im not really a modular person im more of a playset person myself but I expect the city set next to the city docks to be huge im so stoked for the upcoming summer wave sets ill probably be buying them all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
