Dr.Cogg Posted February 18, 2021 I took a closer look at the temple set and noticed that the Eel monster is chained to the ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pulp Detective Posted February 18, 2021 I still have my bad guys from Atlantis,so I might replace them with the sea snakes or even just mix them. And I have the need to make the obligatory Sam L. Jackson quote:Enough is enough!!! I have had it with those bloody snakes in this bloody theme!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucarex Posted February 18, 2021 I only have eyes for the Temple of the Infinite Sea Finally, City of Atlantis (plus a bit of Aquaman) will get an expansion set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a guy from somewhere Posted February 18, 2021 The bounty is my favourite, I’m hoping they do some sort of moon pool feature where you can dock a submarine underneath it. I love how it looks! Some one mentioned before that it might use a large hull piece, and if that’s the case, bugger. It seems like something Lego would do. It looks substantial though and so does the part count. I’m not really seeing Nya anywhere through. Maybe she’s one of the blurred out mini figs in white. TLG had better call the villains eels now, otherwise I’m not gonna be too happy. This is gonna be an expensive year! I like the temple, but I feel like they have put too much of the part count into that eel. @Legofania, I’m sorry for not believing you! This is crazy! Now we just have to wait until June...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see stickers on the hydro bounty, but those could just be there to make it seem less plain for the retailers they're trying to sell to. After ten years of red bounties, white is an abrupt and odd change in direction. Is it not possible that the colors here (along with other things) aren't final? 🤷 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m just looking at the way the hull seems to bulge out at the bottom and thinking the shaping looks suspect. I hope I’m wrong too, but we probably won’t know for months. As a counterpoint, if it is a large hull piece the big windows at the top look like they’re too low down to accomodate an interior with space for minifigures to stand (as has become the norm for Bounties), and the prow definitely seems different, so it might be that the shaping is just a coincidence. Fingers crossed I guess. A moon pool feature would be awesome, I really hope you’re right about that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THELEGOBATMAN Posted February 18, 2021 Thoughts on each set: 71739: not a fan of the build, it looks really clunky and worse than 2 previous ones; hope thesankes are new (I'm looking at you orange fang-blade) 71753: dragon seems to look awesome; minfigures suck, except for Golden Nya 71750: if it's 20€, then it's okay; build in itself is okay, same for minfigures, but if it's 30€, then it sucks 71752: I like it, especially the turbine-wheels on build; 4 minfigures is a good amount 71754: dragon is fantastic, so unique; sidebuilds are also great, same goes for minfigs 71755: builds overall design and look is incredible, although I don't like how linear the build is; minifigs will definitely rock 71756: the ship looks amazing; sidebuilds also look really good; amount of minifgures is insane (at least 8, could be even 10) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJ Tong (zfogshooterz) Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) This wave is actually pretty interesting but yeah, there are some sets that I'm not too big on either. Like others mentioned too, the Temple and the Water Dragon is friggin' awesome there! For some reason the Temple is giving me a vibe that is an amalgamation of Atlantis and Elves. That creature (if that's Wohira) looks really good, though I didn't expect the villain and it to be in this color scheme but it's still pretty cool. And I'd agree that it's pretty odd for a certain pyro viper's head to be reused for for the villains but I'm definitely happy that some villains of the other sets does have some aquatic elements although I was quite hoping for more. The Water Dragon aesthetic is also something I didn't expect, one of the more imposing dragons I've seen in a while and with its beautiful wings, it really blends in with the aquatic theme, The "Hydro Bounty" looks really nice too but I kinda wished it wasn't that predominantly white. A mix of additional colors of Teal, Azure and Olive like its sail print would've been really great. Also that leaked Image. we do get to see an artwork to the side on what seems to be part of the box art portraying the main creature of the Temple. And wow, its really looks awesomely menacing! Going to Jay's vehicle, it looks alright, doesn't feel mindblowing or groundbreaking by any means. Though personally, for some reason I'm really getting a silhouette and a color combination that's made out of the Samurai VXL, and two Hotwheels - the Roborace Robocar and Bad to the Blade which is kinda cool. And as for Lloyd's Hydro Mech, I don't think I'm big fan of it. However, I do dig the claw arms as it is has an asymmetrical and bulky style but the rest just looks plain bland. Looking forward to checking out the clearer images of this wave. (While I don't collect Legacy. gotta say the Fire Dragon is looking pretty menacing, much more than its original incarnation (set-wise and show-wise). It's giving me some similarity with the Firstbourne. But the main reason I'm mentioning this is because of....those vinyl/cloth wing.... Why oh why couldn't the Overlord Dragon have those? I know it's a homage to the past dragon builds of that era, but come on. The fire dragon now has it!)

THELEGOBATMAN Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Also some general thoughts: • I LOVE the Atlantis (but black and blue instead of red and white) vibe, I was waiting so long for Ninjago to go underwater. • Snakes? Again? Underwater world is so unique! Why does Ninjago love creatures without backbone so much • I was worried they would use bandanas again, like Golden Nya - great to see underwater masks with visors. • It sucks that there are no Spinjitzu gimmick types of sets, I think they would be so good! • I also love how connected to The Island this season is. Oh, and welcome @Legofania! You were absolutely right, and it's great to have you there Edited February 18, 2021 by THELEGOBATMAN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exetrius Posted February 18, 2021 That sea temple, and Nya's water dragon!! The obligitory-oversized-car is arguably LEGO's wildest amphibious vehicle design since Atlantis, which is neat. For the other sets I'll need to see the official pics, but this seems to be a great wave! For Legacy, is that a downsized Ultrasonic Raider, €50-ish?? Actually, I'm fine with snakes/eels. TLNM and the Atlantis theme provided a variety of sea creatures, but not water snakes or eels. I think they are a good fit with Ninjago as a theme, more than sharks, octopuses, or jelly fish. Plus it's a great thing to see wave-specific moulds return and be recoloured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think people are just getting sick of snakes because they just keep introducing more and more of them that are all retconned into the story. 2012 - Hypnobrai, Constrictai, Fangpyre, Venomari, Anacondrai 2015 - cultists who turn into Anacondrai 2016 - Clancee 2017 - Vermillion 2019 - fire snakes 2021 - water snakes We originally started out with 5 tribes, since then they've retconned it to 9.

Pulp Detective Posted February 18, 2021 The original 5 tribes were unique at the time but with more tribes getting intoduced every 2-3 years the uniqueness is long gone.Now it's just tiresome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THELEGOBATMAN Posted February 18, 2021 It's not even the tribes, as the tribes in S1 were all so unique and fantastic. It's about how many season have snake as main-villains / army builders of the wave. Season 1, Season 7, Season 10 (kinda) and Season 14 - that's a lot of seasons with snakes. They could have easily exchanged at least Season 10 for another creatures (like lizards even?) and Season 15 is just a misunderstanding - so many underwater creatures, from fishes to crabs and so on, yet they choose snakes (unless the heads are just preliminary and they are actually more unique).

THELEGOBATMAN Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Prices and piece counts thanks to Promobricks: 71739 - 85€ with 729 pieces 71750 - 20€ with 228 pieces 71752 - 40€ with 356 pieces 71753 - 50€ with 563 pieces 71754 - 70€ with 737 pieces 71755 - 100€ with 1060 pieces 71756 - 140€ with 1159 pieces Ultrasonic Raider, underwater car and underwater bounty... those prices aren't that good. The first one should be between 70€ and 80€, preferably the first one. Car could be better with a 30€ price, and the Bounty... at least 20€ lower, preferably 30€.
