Ninjago 2017 General Discussion

Besides Jay having been in literally every Ninjago Flagship set ever, Nya’s actually in the back of that big ol’ 2-headed dragon. It’s only confusing because of her new hood color (Black and Gali’s Dark Azur, like what Posession’s should’ve been).

Otherwise, really hyped for that SotDB. I have the OG set, which was right at the price point but WAY too expensive from a customer’s viewpoint, and I’m glad this one came out. After all, never enough Bounties, right?

Oh, I see now! I prefer the previous combination of dark azure and dark red honestly. It was really eye catching! This is just as meh as her black and dark red suit. Maybe it’ll look better when it’s all printed and she gets that dark red back? :stuck_out_tongue:

The vehicle sets seem a bit meh (I’m getting pretty tired of LEGO vehicles. I think they rely too much on them in their original system themes lately…) but I love that giant snake mech and of course the fusion dragon.

Thought’s I’d mention this: villain minifigs are on sale in China. Pics:


Really a fan. These things look great. A lot of detail, and they really complement the detailed ninja from up here.
Also, LEGO accidentally uploaded the Cole pic on the frontpage for next year. Pic:

Toe printing confirmed.

Just going to mention something: I can’t edit the top post, as my edit ability has expired. I’m gonna need a mod to fix that, so @Political_Slime should work.

“Snakes? YOU ALREADY DID THIS LEGO” -Eljay Impression
These sets look cool but the enemys looks like a cross-breed between Serpentine + Stone Army. Hope the story will be impressive and not filler.

After having watched Just2good’s video about the Ninjago 2017 sets, i think i now know what the main story is going to be about. The ninja all travel back in time to the first war betwine the humans and the serpentine, which would explain the snake design of the bad guys.

What do you guys think?

I don’t think it makes much sense, seeing as the Serpentine in the first war were the same ones we know. These seem like some metal or stone statues with snakes inside them or whatever.

The sets do look really great though! do we have any prices?

So like… I’m really, REALLY digging that giant metal snake Megazord mech. Kai and Nya’s double headed Dragon is also a must buy, but I’m not really feelin’ Nya’s colorscheme. I really loved the whole dark red with azure blue as a secondary thing they had going before.

These sets excite me. I love the new armor molds.

Same here, it kinda makes her blend in with Jay too much.

Anyhow, do we have prices for these things? I am really considering them.

Not yet, hopefully soon though. I need to know how much I need to save up, because being an adult is expensive.

Given the amount of pieces and comparing them to previous sets. Here is an estimate on pricing;

70621: The Vermillion Attack - 83 Pieces
Probably the same as the 98 piece ‘Cole’s dragon’ - £7.99

70622: Desert Lightning - 201 pieces
Probably the same as the 231 piece ‘Ninja Bike Chase’ - £17.99

70623: Destiny’s Shadow - 360 Pieces
Probably the same as the 350 piece ‘Jay’s Elemental Dragon’ - £24.99

70624: Vermillion Invader - 313 Pieces
Probably the same as the 294 piece ‘Raid Zeppelin’ - £24.99

70625: Samurai VXL - 428 Pieces
Probably the same as the 406 piece ‘Rock Roader’ - £34.99

70626: Dawn of Iron Doom - 704 Pieces
Probably the same as the 767 piece ‘The Lighthouse Siege’ - £59.99

70627: Dragon’s Forge - 1137 Pieces
Probably the same as the 1253 piece ‘Final Flight of Destiny’s Bounty’ - £99.99

Thanks for letting us know about this!

well we do see that there are some proof of that given the clock symbol on the corners of the boxes and how the giant snake mech have that symbol on it too.

Plus we have the part that Nya and Kai’s parents does not look old at all and instead look just like they did during the first Serpentine war.

again, its possible that the story of the 2017 Ninjago sets could be because the Ninja travels back in time, and we also have these new villains, that might not actualy be part of the same timeline but instead a group of villains that want to change the past so that the Serpentine wins the war, it would explain why we have these new Snake villains.

plus the main object that everyone fights for this time seems to be some odd looking arm bands, that the villains want to use for their mech.

again, Time is clearly the main point here. And given how, again, Nya and Kai’s parents does not look old at all, it just seems clear that our heroes will be going back in time.

This is the first 100 set in Ninjago I plan on buying.
This is honestly my favorite wave thus far, at least in terms of villains and vehicles.
As for the Ninja, I have a favorite version for each, and those are the versions I keep on display. totally not breaking canon

I have to say that I absolutely love this wave, especially the bad guys stuff. My favorite ones have to be the big snake samurai mech of doom thing and that little tank with one tread in the middle. I’ve never really been a big Ninjago fan, but I have to say I’m impressed with this wave. The location looks really good and mysterious too.

Just an alternative option here;

It could be that the snake villains from the past simply escape into present day through one of the Ninja’s messing up somehow or a present day villain simply messing around with mystical artefacts. Then Nya and Kai’s parents either follow or are summoned also to help the Ninja’s.

yeah i have been thinking about that too, its just that with sets like the dragon’s forge, it just seem more like they all went back in time, rather than the villains and Kai and Nya’s parents being brough into the present.

The dragon’s forge do look like the villains are trying to alter the past by capturing Kai and Nya’s parents.

although its possible that both events could have happend. The dragon’s forge being what happends in the past while the Dawn of Iron Doom takes place in the presents.

I like how they have two characters on the top now.

Not sure if this was mentioned before, but the blue samurai doesn’t seem to have a face printed on it, just the mask. Thank Mata Nui they aren’t making the same mistake they did with Samurai X.
