I see the Gurren Lagann inspiration, but the components seem to draw more inspiration from Gridman (Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad, in the US): core robot, drill tank becomes arms, treaded tank becomes legs, flyer armors up the body. If they do a transforming robot dragon with a similar core robot, it's definitely pulling from Gridman. Nice to finally see universal ratchet joints. Might need to reward LEGO & buy one.

20:58 The two black exo-force arm pieces are there, so that you could use them for attaching all the different collectible banners from this wave to the bars that stick out of the back of the big monastery temple set, as a display option, although I don't think it's actually being advertised anywhere. Notice that most of the banners aside the ones in this set are connected to their respective builds using these parts.

The mech is a blend of gurren lagann and super sentai's megazord. This set is like a love letter for tokusatsu fans.

I had mixed feelings about this set upon seeing the initial pictures, but I think this review might've won me over, the alternate mode vehicles have a bit more going on than I initially expected. Great review as always Jang!

Yeah, the Gurren Lagann inspiration is extremely apparent here, between its "hands" and the whole combining thing, even the way the color scheme is laid out to an extent. Very cool to hear that a designer was a fan, I adore that series as well.

Honestly, thinking it over, these designs make me think that LEGO might be gearing up to release a brand new theme that just focuses on anime style mecha as the main sets (with some exceptions for variety, of course). In which case, awesome!

Combiner mechs are the best type of mechs, imo. I've been tempted to get one of the previous Ninjago or Monkey Kid mechs, but didn't. I think that's going to change with this one though! It looks sick, and I love the way the individual parts combine.

This is such an impressive set and it looks like it will appeal to fans of Voltron, Gundam anime, and even Power Rangers. Even if you're just a fan of mechs there is something here for you and I hope this extra appeal encourages non-Ninjago fans to purchase this set even if they're never bought Ninjago before. Hopefully it will show people just how good Ninjago can be.

This is really cool, and I haven't bought a Lego Ninjago set since the original samurai Mech but the thought of "lego Gurren Lagaan" is really enticing.

@strangerofthe2067 2 жыл бұрын

I just finished building this a couple days ago. I made a point to not look at it too much prior to getting it, and it made the build so much more fun! It was great to build each separate vehicle and the small Mech, then get to go through the process of combining them all without really knowing what to expect! I really like this set and it was a great addition to my Ninjago Mech collection of which I’m only missing a couple of the first sets from the beginning of the theme. Definitely towards the top of the list with my favorite Ninjago mechs!

@labdG 2 жыл бұрын

The Cole vehicle reminds me alot of when I tried making a a lego robot that could be transformed into a car, many years ago. The way the legs make up the back with a big gap between with this one is very much like how mine ended up as well. xD

I'm pretty sure those extra Exo-Force arm pieces are for the system where you place the banners from the top of the mech on the big temple set. You're supposed to collect all the banners and put them throughout the set, but it all attaches to bars with the ends of the clips there.

I'm so excited to get this set. It's just crazy how cool it looks and how functional it is. It looks like it may be the biggest mech that Ninjago has had yet. I personally don't have much problem with the ninja minifigs this time around; at the very least they're not insultingly cartoonish (like most of the "seasonal spinjitzu gimmick" minifigs have been for awhile now) or just downright awful (season 9- ugh.) They've definitely been better, but they've also been much worse. I think these are a happy medium of being generic while also being visually unique.

The Exo-Force arms are to connect the banner to the Dojo Temple! I don't think it's shown anywhere but considering everyone got the pieces and that they're in the parts list it's definitely not a mistake. Though considering recent problems with quality it wouldn't be too surprising - for example I got an extra 2x2 round plate in red in my Lloyd's Legendary Dragon, and I know someone else who also did (and my Pixal head in the Dojo Temple being a bit smudged which is way more disappointing). And all the sets that have been cancelled or delayed recently.

I think the color choices for the ninja were a good idea, even if I’m not really sold on the designs used. I was never a fan of bright neon yellow for Jay, but that banana yellow works and fits the blue a lot better, and sells the lightning idea. And that leaves the strong yellow-orange for Kai, which also fits very well. The dark tan also fits Cole well but the design muddled it and the inner torso/undershirt makes no sense. I don’t think Zane really needs more blue though. We have Jay and Nya who both also have blue as a prominent color. Zane works best keeping blue as an accent, not as the main accent

@emc246 2 жыл бұрын

This set is definitely cool, but I think it could have benefited a lot from more focus on how the combined mode looked. If the piece count was a concern you could take some out of Jay's plane, either tank, or Kai's legs and give Kai's mech the ability to fold its arms back and move the large arms in more instead of the weird 4-arm look it currently has with none of the arms really able to get a full range of motion.

The leg articulation on this mech is phenominal. I've added knees to previous big mechs before, but because of the complete lack of ankle articulation they're almost completely useless. This combo mech is straight up capable of going into a walking pose simply because it has ankles. Knees

Lego's philosphy with mechs and knee articulation, so far: "I never say 'knee!'" I might have to look into this one, but there's so many sets out this month.. gonna be hard to choose.
