LEGO 70728 Ninjago Battle for Ninjago City Review

This is definitely a must get for me, but it is still in my wishlist, hope am able to get it before the free sheep were out of stock here. At the mean time, let me influence you guys to get this set with a review made by others.

Lego 70728 Battle for Ninjago City Review

This set comes with eight minifigures and lots of features, the price is MYR549.90, and is definitely a harsh price tag for me despite being cheaper compare to the sets from last last year, but is definitely a good set to be consider since it has great design and features to play with. 

For those of you that have not gotten the set just like me, you may click on the link below the pictures for viewing pleasure or to help you on your decision before the free sheep is gone, especially for Malaysian.

LEGO Ninjago #70753 Lava Falls Review

Here't the number two smallest set of this round LEGO Ninjago playset, somehow this one was priced higher. Below is a picture taken from a review in Eurobricks:

#70753 Lava Falls Review

This one does comes with the Jade Blade collection too, but in scythe kind of look. At least this time round, no, maybe since the Reboot, the collectibles were easier to get as they are mostly available in smaller set rather than a big one. This set is selling at MYR34.90 right now featuring a falling bridge. I guess the price is higher due to the parts that we get from this set.

In case you have not bought this set yet, and you are still considering, just click on the link below the picture to read the review.

LEGO Ninjago #70752 Jungle Trap Review

The Ninjago theme seems to attracts me, I got almost all of the set for this wave, left out 2 more sets due to tight budget. Anyway, here's a small affordable set, #70752 Jungle Trap which were retail at MYR29.90. Just in case you have not get one, here's a review in Eurobricks:

#70752 Jungle Trap Review

Nowadays TLG always gives us something to collect in most of the theme, for this instance, Jade Blade which were included in the lower tier Ninjago playset that range from MYR29.90 to MYR79.90. I would say a good grab although the set usually comes with two minifigures. I have not opened mine, but to fill up your free time with LEGO set and lack of budget, I'll recommend you this set.

LEGO Minifigures Gift Set

I thought I'm a happy man to have the Target LEGO Minifigures Gift Set to reach me safely from all the way from the United States. A week or two passed and now there is another one that is being upoaded on Taobao.

If you asked me who is Lightning Lad, I seriously have no idea. I only know super heroes and their villain through LEGO playset. But another one to be added into collection and it will be a good news if this is easily accessible to the public. 

Kai on the other hand seems like the other version from reboot version, somehow the print gave me this feeling that was a reboot print. And well City comes out with a diver which may be from Exploration theme while I have no idea who on earth is that from Legends of Chima, some say is Sir Fangar.

Target's LEGO Minifigures Gift Set

This might be an old news but this set here contains three great minifigures. This is sold separately in Target at $15 or get it for free by spending $50 on LEGO products.

I managed to get mine at MYR100 off Bricklink, I guess this is the best deal I'm able to find so far with the Ringgit continues to weakens. Not sure if these minifigures will be release in the future set but I think is best just to get one set to keep although I do not like the Swamp Police minifigs. For more information on the new Lego 2018 minifigure series, visit the Ninja Brick website here.

LEGO Ninjago 2014

I think this is no longer any new news since this was the very first 2014 theme that was exposed (or so I think) to the public. Ninjago one of the most successful theme for LEGO and taking a break for one year by replacing them with Legends of Chima seems to be a very bad idea.

Kids still love Ninjago here on my end and Legends of Chima seems to be pretty cold here, not much sellable and this is why the theme are on sales right now. There goes all the budget that were allocated for Legends of Chima. Below pictures are taken from Brickshelf.

From top left:

#70720 Hover Hunter, #70721 Kai Fighter, #70722 Overborg Attack

#70723 Thunder Raider, #70724 Ninjacopter, #70725 Nindroid MechDragon
#70726 Destructoid

Fans of Ninjago sure are happy to see the theme making a come back after one year of rest. From what I see there are more character to be collected and although most of the Nindroid are pretty much repeated, but they looks cool and I definitely do not want to missed any of them. 

The playability is still there probably this are what the kids are their target market. As of design, some of the set pretty much depends on the character to sell them off (kids like some stuff base on the character in the movie) while some of them are nicely design.

Personally I am targeting  this 4 sets: #70722 Overborg Attack, #70723 Thunder Raider, #70724 Ninjacopter, #70725 Nindroid MechDragon (for the buggy). I like the design of these for sets. Pray hard for my wallet to be real healthy that time.

New LEGO Ninjago Battle Pack

Now even Ninjago theme have their own battle pack or minifig pack. Not sure which one to call it. Very very suitable for army building, but what can you do with the extra Zane and Jay? Will it impact the price of these two key characters? Nope, since they have their booster pack released before.

#850632

The scout and swordsman are very useful if you do not really mind the quality I believe. But the two ninja on top are pretty much useless since they are they key character which you do not need clones. With the release of this battle pack I think we need to be more careful when we buy the scout and swordsman separately from other seller.

LEGO Ninjago #70503 The Golden Dragon Review

A couple of days ago, Brickset uploaded review on The Golden Dragon. I'm really looking forward for more Ninjago review, thanks to the cool design on the serpentine wave. Picture below is taken from Brickset:

#70503 The Golden Dragon Review

Again, the minifigs are awesome. Anyway, put the minifigs aside, the dragon itself is another collectible for those that already have the previous four or five dragons. With the price fall in an affordable range, I believe many will buy this to complete their dragon collection.

LEGO Ninjago #70500 Kai's Fire Mech Review

Here's another review posted in Brickset I think a couple of days ago, which is on one of the latest and smallest playset from the Ninjago theme, #70500 Kai's Fire Mech. Picture below are taken from Brickset:

#70500 Kai's Fire Mech Review

This is one small and neatly design mech, in other words, my eyes like how this mech looks though sticker are needed. The two new minifigs looks pretty nice to me as well, nice prints and something to collect again. But am a bit sad to see the parts from Hero Factory starting to go into the other playset. Which is a no no for me.

LEGO Ninjago 2014

This is no longer a hot topic now as the news is here for a few hours already or maybe almost a day. But to all LEGO Ninjago fans, this is somewhat a great news.

And so, the Ninjago team will be back in 2014 after the a break in 2013. Anyway we still have some playset in 2013, so that will keep us company for awhile until they come back with more playset. Good news or bad news?

I think this is because there are too many new theme coming up and the machine is in their full capacity plus this is one hell of a popular theme.

LEGO Ninjago Character Encyclopedia

This is one of the book that I am looking forward for the release other than the Batman, which I have not own it yet. The book comes with an exclusive Lloyd ZX minifigs and it don't look good quality to me. Image below is taken from Brickset:

If you would like to read little review about the book, you can head on to HERE. This minifig only appear in the book and not the 2013 playset.

LEGO Ninjago 2013

Ninjago fans, next year mark the last release of this theme. The ninja minifigs still looks superb to me, but the villain is somewhat ugly. Anyway here's the picture of Gold ninja:

This dude above here happen to appear in two sets, so is not that rare but we sure need to get the playset to get all the minifigs now, no more spinner, otherwise Bricklink it. To see all the sets, click HERE.

LEGO Ninjago #9555 Mezmo Review

This wave there are two minifigs from the booster pack set that does not comes in normal playset and one of them is Mezmo. I think LEGO should take care of the quality of these minifigs since you cannot get them in playset. Anyway, a reviews has been posted on Bricks Review:

#9555 Mezmo Review

Perhaps you guys might want to buy one of this? Nice packaging and I would say good price.

LEGO Ninjago #9557 Lizaru Review

I heard rumors that the Ninjago Booster pack have reach the retail stores of Malaysia, since I'm in Penang, I still have not seen it elsewhere, but do spot them in LEGOland Malaysia. Picture below is taken from Bricks Review:

#9557 Lizaru Review

I would say is a good strategy to have some booster pack and spinner so that people can afford the rare minifigs from some set. But but but, the price need to be priced properly, otherwise people will still ignore this packet of minifigs. Too bad, only Ninjago have them and maybe Legends of Chima in the future.

LEGO Ninjago #9574 Lloyd ZX Review

Finally the long awaited green ninja, Lloyd ZX spinner has been released here in the local. Now that the fans can complete their ZX collection without having a hole in their wallet with the release of the spinner. I owned one, and the quality is good even though there are parts that are made in China.

#9574 Lloyd ZX Review

Cool minifigs, this one I would say is a must have, otherwise you definitely have to buy the biggest of the second wave to complete your ZX collection. The new spinner are great and of course, the crown and packaging too play a little role to make me buy them.

LEGO Ninjago #9590 NRG Zane Review

This is something that is quite new to the local since it has only been released not long ago, maybe less than a month or a month ago. This is some collectibles too since they comes in different design of spinners and character. Below picture of NRG Zane is taken from Bricks Review:

#9590 NRG Zane Review

Looking at the NRG minifig, they have unique prints, shiny prints and this one looks good. This theme become my favorite with the second release with the serpentine vehicle, is something worth buying to explore the building experience. But not the spinner set.

Link to the review is right below the picture.

LEGO Ninjago Character Encyclopedia

The figure that comes with Ninjago Character Encyclopedia would be the Green ninja with different outfit. Very tempting. . . 

Every image content on the product details page seems to be one useful content that can further generate income. Anyhow, still if the book is nice, people will get it and that includes me.

LEGO Ninjago #9448 Samurai Mech Review

Here's another review from the Ninjago theme, one of the popular theme this year. Picture below is the minifigs that comes with the Samurai Mech:

#9448 Samurai Mech Review

For those that miss Samurai X spinner set, here's the chance for you to get her again but the spinner set over here, Malaysia is at the best price I would say. Click on the link below the image to read the review.

LEGO Ninjago #9441 Kai's Blade Cycle Review

I remembered I read somewhere that Ninjago is one of the most well-received theme this year, and it seems possible with the release of the all cool and awesome vehicle. Bricks Review yesterday posted a review on  #9441 Kai's Blade Cycle and below picture is taken from the Flickr:

#9441 Kai's Blade Cycle Review

Is cool to be able to get Kai ZX in such a set, and the cycle looks nice too. Rattla minifigs seems to have a new headgear that was specially made for this theme for now. Also heard that next year the ninja will meet the pirate. Not sure how reliable is the source.
