what do you mean by Bat and Crab-like? are you talking about the stone warriors or the ninjas? lol I am really excited about these sets. I was gonna get legends of chima with my money before christmas, but i'm now gonna get these because 1.Theyre cheaper than the 80$ croc boat lol 2. only like 6 sets. I feel bad about dissing the ninjago franchise, because i used to call it gay and retarted, stupid. But now i look at how cool these sets look compared to the older sets, and look at how they have advanced. These sets look great. Kais mech could be a little bigger, but its fine cuz its lego, and sometimes.s you cant get everything right or perfect lol. I think someone in the thread in the earlier pages said somthing about how the themes need a story or show to be a good theme. I think hes right and wrong, and its great and horrible. Great because some themes need a story so that you can act them out and have more kids enveloped with their toys, and Horrible because 1. TLG makes these sets liek The Fire Temple and all the snake sets and kills them off in the shows or stories. Why would a kid buy a Temple that would soon have burned down and never used again in the show? Same for the snakes; theyre all trapped underground in that Stone Army cave/ auditorium thing, or either died off by the devourer fight, which i sadly didnt see, but i did see him being revived. I wouldn't even touch that Fire Temple becuase the show killed it off. Same goes for the snakes, unless theyre on sale for super cheap lol.
