General Vangelis wields two matching accessories, both made from Vengestone. The bigger blade is interesting because there is room to place another accessory, such as the pearl gold Scythe of Quakes. The blending of pearl gold and trans-pink is not entirely successful, but the opportunity for easy customisation is certainly appreciated. Honestly I thought it was cool that the anniversary ninja minifigs were based on different variants of their costumes — and in most cases, specifically on ones from seasons they had played a major role in. Kai and Zane's anniversary costumes were based on the Fire and Ice chapters of "Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu", Jay's on "Prime Empire", Cole's on "Master of the Mountain", Lloyd's on "The Island", and Nya's on "Seabound". The excitement doesn't stop there. A variety of LEGO NINJAGO construction toys await, including collectable Spinjitzu spinners, mech action figures, and a wide array of toy cars and other vehicles, plus a vast selection of LEGO NINJAGO minifigures. Encourage your child to challenge their friends, stimulate their creativity, and hone their problem-solving skills with these engaging ninja toys. The possibilities for fun and learning are endless. This ninja building set includes 3 minifigures: Golden Dragon Cole, with a pair of golden dragon wings adorned with spikes, Golden Zane and General Vangelis to play out gripping battles between the forces of good and evil in NINJAGO City. Great review! I think it's nice that the dual molded dragon heads in this set and Jay's Golden Dragon Motorbike appear unprinted, since the versions of that head style in Lloyd's Golden Ultra Dragon are both printed with eye patterns. Having both options is always nice, especially if you wanted to use these dual-molded heads as lower jaws or other decorative details where eye prints would be less appealing.
Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame. The pattern on Zane's waist and shoulder armour is effective too, resembling studded leather. Zane's separate shoulder armour and sheath element also complements this minifigure, while his pearl silver head remains unchanged from part appearances. I dislike the angry expression, which seems ill-suited to Zane, but the mechanical detailing is perfect. As it is, I'm still WAY behind on the Ninjago TV series, since lately I've only been watching it with my wife who's still on Season 8. At this point, maybe I should really take some time on my own to get caught up so I don't get spoiled any more than I already have been. Even here, General Vangelis's very NAME is a bit of a spoiler for "Master of the Mountain", which I still haven't seen — though that particular plot point had already been spoiled for me elsewhere, and LEGO certainly doesn't owe it to me or to anybody to avoid spoiling a storyline that aired two years ago! The minifigures look as outstanding as ever in my opinion, and the Golden Dragon variants of the ninja stand out as particularly cool and unique! That said, I'm a little bummed that the original four ninja get SO many new minifigure designs this wave, yet there's only one for my favorite of the main characters, Nya. :( The General Vangelis fig here is not my favorite of the crystal generals—his Skull Sorcerer mask (unchanged from its initial appearance) covers up the shiny pink eyes all of the generals have, and I sort of wish he still had a skirt/cloak like in his original design instead of standard legs. But the golden dragon ninja are all fantastic—it's pretty amazing that in this wave alone, all four original ninja get not one, not two, but three variants (colored suits, golden armor, and glowy golden dragon versions). And the golden dragon versions specifically might be some of the coolest "powered up" versions of the ninja we've had yet (which is saying something, considering how much I've loved the NRG/Airjitzu/similar variants in the past).
With the vehicle being tied to Zane, it’s no surprise he’s included in the set. Here he is wearing what’s known as his Golden Robes. This is basically the standard outfit for the ninja in the Crystalized season. The best of the outfit is white, but it features a large amount of gold detailing, including a mainly gold-coloured hood. Zane is joined by Cole in his Golden Dragon form. Apart from the torso, Golden Dragon Cole is mostly constructed of transparent pieces, these go especially well with the print detail on the torso, which also flows on the legs. The dragon-like hood and wings complete the look. The wings are very disappointing on Cole. They aren’t anything like the promotional images and they have very little transparent orange on them. We’ve had a bike, we’ve had a car-type thing so now it’s time to take the sky with a jet. Zane’s Golden Dragon Jet is another of the new sets to be infused with the power of the dragons. It’s also one of the smaller sets in the wave, as well as featuring another of the ninja in a Golden Dragon Suit and the return of a villain from NINJAGO past. So here’s another early look at an upcoming LEGO NINJAGO set and my review of Zane’s Golden Dragon Jet. The wings are mirrored builds. The assembly here isn’t too complex, and the motion is sooth and unlikely to jam up.
i wish the 10 year golden zane came with this mask to fit better the design of the rest. Same for Lloyd's mask and Wu's head (although the pieces needed to "fix" those already existed)" The Crystal King's generals each feature matching uniforms, including pearl dark grey armour and purple highlights. Pink crystalline details visible across the chest are also shared with the Vengestone army, matching the trans-pink shoulder armour. This component features superb jagged shapes, again present throughout the Crystal King's forces.
Details
From the rear, you get a row of exposed hollow studs that make for a good jet array. The Mixel ball joints that connect this assembly to the main jet don’t look out of place, either. The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. Minifigures As well as being the elemental master of ice, Zane has piloted a few different vehicles including mechs, dragons and tanks. Flying vehicles are a little less common apart from the odd helicopter. So a jet is something a little unique. It’s built-in two sections but not so it can be split apart but to help with the overall shape of the jet. It reminds me a little of the X-Jet used by the X-Men. With the front cab section being connected to the rest of the jet via a couple of ball joints, it slopes at a slight angle. Wedge Sloped 4 x 4 Triple with 3 Ridges on Slope in Pearl Gold (6376233 | 86148) - in 4 other 2022 Ninjago releases Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you.
Dual-moulded blades extend from the wings, reaching almost 30cm across. Once again, they are a common feature among NINJAGO aircraft, although their position here appears unusual. The set description identifies the resemblance between the bladed wings and a shuriken, which seems appropriate, given Zane's association with the Shuriken of Ice.Also, The Ninjargon "R" motif appears extensively across the "good guy" minifigures, vehicles, and accessories, but I'm still not sure what the R is meant to stand for. "Resistance", maybe? It's not exactly intuitive, though perhaps the TV series clarifies things. However, here in Australia, we have only this set and 71774 Lloyd's Golden Ultra Dragon, and the rest will be released in August. The dual-molded large blades in this set are great too, and it's great to be getting them in three different color variants this year. Between them and the large crystal blades from some of the villain sets, there's a plethora of large-scale weapons this year to appeal to a Bionicle fan like me.
Great Deal
