Gorki247 Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) This video shows the gardens connected to the city (starting at 6:16), with the Docks attached on the other side of the city. The little island is attached to the back of the gardens, which is not ideal as it blocks part of the docks. I might look if I can change it up a bit and attach it to the front of the city/garden side instead and expand it to the full width. That would fit my layout perfectly, I think.

jimim Posted January 15, 2021 I really can't wait to get mine! I'm doing the NES right now with my daughter cause I have been holding off building it till we have some time to take it all in and enjoy, but I'm finding myself telling her "ya do another bag tonight"! lol These 3 sets are prop my favorite overall sets ever done. They are just awesome. Even friends when they are over our house and they see all the legos and can't really figure it out they still comment on how awesome the ninjago sets are cause of the colors.

Now the lowest you can find either is 700/600. Like that’s an insane jump in just a couple months. Currently: Ninjago City for $520; Ninjago City Docks for $350 A month ago: Ninjago City for $550, Ninjago City Docks for $375 This shows a new set actually caused the prices of previous sets to drop...

Robert8 Posted January 15, 2021 After seeing full pics of the sets, the lavender skin color of the "islanders" is starting to annoy me :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you show me where right now you can buy those at that price? I’m talking NIB as well. I find the sites that just say how much they’re worth are outdated. Looking at BrickLink/eBay/etc they have all risen significantly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pulp Detective Posted January 15, 2021 Meh overall the S14 wave is underwhelming.Hopefully S15 is much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at BrickLink/eBay/etc they have all risen significantly I'd be willing to buy Ninjago City Docks for $350. Even used. BrickLink's lowest priced listing is $400 in the Czech Republic, so shipping will be loads. Cheapest in North America is $500. Cheapest in the US is $590. eBay doesn't appear to be better. I'm clearly looking in the wrong places. Would be happy with $350 though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

turk187 Posted January 15, 2021 6 hours ago, just_one said: Looks awesome! just wanted to see if you could attach the island (16x32 plate) on the left side next to gardens and im sold Remember, you can only ATTACH the island to the two corners. Like any corner module. so it depends, if you are talking about setting the the gardens on the left, and NC on the right and then the island on the far left (island, gardens, NC left to right in a straight line) Then, no, you can't attach it. there are no connecting bricks right there, its water. you cold set it there and add a little bridge. Otherwise you attach the island behind the two on either side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RichardGoring Posted January 15, 2021 A Google search brings up the docks for $383 from Toysonline . com. but I think it's very likely a scam site, which is a shame. They have no history, no links, no reviews. Otherwise, everything is $500+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unsure why this isn't the most obvious way to display the sets for people, the temple island in between docks and garden looks so bad. It seems obvious, but I worry it isn't going to look as good as we would think; at least not without some modification, or possibly mirroring the build. Difficult to say, but we'll find out soon enough once more people get their hands on the set. Edited January 15, 2021 by Gorki247 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucarex Posted January 15, 2021 Just had email from LEGO saying “your order has shipped”. That was quick I thought, but then scrolled to see it was actually Spring Lantern Festival not Gardens. Anyone had their order progress beyond the “in warehouse” stage yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't even had an email about it yet. I just brought it on shop@home and have heard nothing, not even confirmation. Starting to get a bit antsy but I'm holding of on contacting customer services just yet, they're pretty busy. Then again, the shipping in the UK is absolutely abhorrent.
