I found these new sets boring at first, but I'm starting to warm up to them.
Being in Seattle for another week, I stopped by Fred Meyers and picked up the Kai Fighter. They had all the new Ninjago/Hobbit sets except 70726.(I thought they might have it-I found Nocturn at Fred Meyers a few years back, despite being a Wal-Mart exclusive.) While I was at it, I also bought the Ninjago graphic novel #8, Destiny of Doom. Good read, and the last copy they had.
Anyways, I found the two box-like things hanging on the sides interesting, though I can't figure out their purpose. General Cryptor is my favorite part, but when I put the katanas on his back, they always brush against the helmet. Anyone else have this problem?
Aside from Nindroid MechDragon, I won't be buying the other sets until the summer sets have been revealed. You never know when a four-armed baddies will show up in some ultimate showdown set wielding all the Techno-Blades...
