Very accurate review, I can confirm everything you said. The ship looks great, is excellent to play with, and the minifigures are almost perfect. I like the ending of your review 😆

Awesome, thank you very much! Will try to build it too.

I would really like to recreate the big crab. Is there a possibility to buy the instructions or the Stud.io file from you? Should have read the thread carefully. I found the ldd on GLAP23's Bricksafe page.

Right. The bounty is also gaining on me every day. I find the “old” one more appealing in terms of design, but I'm happy for two Ninjago ships between the city buildings. Especially because this bounty has a few details that might not appear so at first glance. But the green dragon and Kai's mech are also pretty great sets.

Amazing, thank you. What a strong and funny army.

Looks fantastic. These little sets are great for adding to your layout. And the whole army of minifigures. Where did you have the stickers made?

Fantastic looking display. So colorful and wild and full of details. More detailed photos are welcome.

Fantastic vehicle, somewhat reminiscent of the Bader's wagon from the movie “the medicus”. The black battlements also give it a sinister look. The crooked and leaning design is also very successful. I also like the background story.

It's stunning how well the curves and the whole elegant shape of the train have been captured. In magenta, of course, it looks even finer. The hoses next to the cockpit window are amazing, as are the pantographs. And the many details of the wheels and couplings between the cars, master class. I'd love to see it in motion. Did it ride on your rails? And then the latest picture of the bogie: How many parts are you currently at? I'd love to see more details. Very fascinating.

Excellently written, you can feel and see the dragon almost right in front of you. Great, very atmospheric. And the dragon... also very majestic, nice size and good choice of colors. Thanks for showing

THIS is simply wonderful, I don't even know where to start. The idea: Great, don't you want to immediately step through as a frog or with the frog.... dive into the unknown on the other side, of which we only catch a glimpse. The point of view: Exactly right and fortunately not just from the frog's point of view but slightly behind it, so that this mystical light/dark world is fully revealed. The construction, the colors, the minimalism: almost never has saying/representing so much with "little" worked so well. And then, the light - the LIGHT. Very, very great. So...we simply HAVE to see "behind" it. Any chance of seeing more of it? After 5 minutes of searching on Flickr, I realize there is a big frog sub-theme on mocs.

I like it very much. Also has the right size on top of the "plate". Surely with more stones there would have been a little more "height". But as we all know, more is always possible. The colour palette is very harmonious and the construction of the stairs is magnificent. Terrific!

Thanks for the detailed Information in your process. Looking forward to your final results. 😇

Loooooove this red speeder bike/boat with the saber on the side. Can be recognized directly. Excellent

Great implementation, I like the perspective from the cockpit. The seats are excellent and the many instruments. Looks very suitable.

The first part was simply gigantic in the cinema. The big screen, the sound design was a board. The last time I felt such brutal audio-visual power was with Lord of the Rings in the cinema. This is actually cinema for all the senses. And especially with that famous sandcrawler scene, with the ornithopters landing...wow, goosebumps. The more closed and sleek shape of your model is really successful. I'm currently building the original set, the technology and how the mechanics behind it work and how everything comes together in the end is really great. After that I'll probably replace the colorful parts and build a stand. And then I need your model. I really wish for more official sets, battle packs, sandworm etc. A whole world to discover.

Wow, I really, really like that. It now looks thinner, more agile and more aerodynamic. Also great is the smoother surface. You're right, it shouldn't be too long, otherwise it will look strange. I like the lights at the front much better this way. Looks more stable. I'm curious if you implemented it in real bricks. Are you planning instructions? I would be happy. It's a fantastic set, we're going to the film on Sunday.

Fantastic , love that exo-suit and the overall color choice. i‘m prepared for what‘s coming. So… in space no one can hear you scream? 😁

Sounds just great. Would also love to see pictures of it. Inspiration is always good.

That's exactly what I was thinking of. A little bit in the direction of a pirate bay with a skull entrance. Only with Japanese garden elements.

Ah, that turned out really great. I love the many references. You have so many possibilities when it comes to Ninjago City Mocs and yet I have the feeling that certain standards simply have to be there: water - preferably under a bridge or "flowing around the corner". Lots of bright colors, interesting roofs, built higher than wide, various shops with "fan articles" or retro articles, fancy stickers. I'll find all of that here in your Moc. I love the figure with the red glasses and the red short cape. (from Lego Movie 2, right?) - next to the one with the crossbow. And it's very cool how Spiderman (Miles?) stands there in half-shadow with his white eyes. The other day I came across the article on BrickNerd with the frogs in the Lego world. Here you can find a few of them. You can never have enough frogs. :-) And especially your hoverboard gang is awesome. I'll take a closer look at the pictures. Keep up the good work. Maybe a dedicated thread for Ninjago City Layout would be a good idea.

I realllllly like this cool hoverbike at 5:00 min. The minifigures are also very nice looking. The hole station....is....ok. But that´s all. Kinda feels like a little bit...to less. To much unused space....

Wow, another Ninjago D2C? This comes out of nowhere for me. I had mentally prepared myself for the Dragonstone Temple as the largest Ninjago set this year (i.e. 2024), especially since the markets are still so fresh. But...that's of course wonderful, no matter what it turns out to be. Another expensive year However, the list of Ninjago Mocs is getting longer and longer, the Dojo is currently EOL and is yet to move in alongside the other NC Sets. Plus you can definitely make something out of the new MonkieKid Megapolis city and there are still so many MOCs on Rebrickable. The new CNY Diner can an also be easily integrated, it's best to do it twice so that it is completely closed and not in a dollhouse style.

Overall, not quite as enthusiastic as I was with City of Lanterns...and deep down, I was hoping for a 4000-5000 piece set. Even if that was never up for debate. Are we still assuming the end of the series (or is that off the table?) and that this would be the big bang for the finale? An extension of the tracks would have been great and the Ferris wheel somehow doesn't fit in. But still it's fantastic, the colors, the Easter eggs, the minifigures and all the prints or stickers. I love the possibility of design. I try to combine it with the Ninjago sets, I think the combination of both subject areas is so great, they go well together. I would find two individual topic blocks next to each other...separate. The price is...phew. But this set, the markets and also the new restaurant from CNY. There are still a few great sets on the list.

Above all, the many details and the general splendor of colors are always great in these sets. Won't be long before they're converted into a Ninjago or Monkie Kid world. The dragon beautifully in the middle on a lake and the restaurant closed at the back...can look great.
