LEGO NINJAGO 2012 summer – more pictures!

In the previous post about the LEGO NINJAGO summer sets, I shared with your some pictures and video from the German toy-fair. (See previous post here: LEGO NINJAGO Summer Sets.) Here I will show you some close-ups from the New York toy-fair. FBTB.net posted some wonderful images for NINJAGO fans to drool over and enjoy! 😀

#9448 LEGO NINJAGO Samurai Mech – Includes Samurai-X mech, a small snake-catapult to launch the 2 snakes that appear in the set, and 3 minifigures: Samurai X, Bytar and Snike. 452 pieces. Available in August. Price: $39.99

#9449 LEGO NINJAGO Ultra Sonic Raider – Includes Ultra Sonic Raider, Fangpyre fang-blade with red anti-venom capsule, 4 golden weapons, 5 regular weapons, and 6 minifigures: Cole ZX, Jay ZX, Kai ZX, Zane ZX, Pythor and Spitta. 622 pieces. Available in August. Price: $69.99

#9450 LEGO NINJAGO Epic Dragon Battle – Includes Ultra Dragon, The Great Devourer, snake-prison, Hypnobrai fang-blade with blue anti-venom capsule, 4 golden weapons, 7 regular weapons, and 7 minifigures: Lloyd ZX, Jay ZX, Sensei Wu, Lord Garmadon, Acidicus, Skalidor and Chokun. 915 pieces. Available in August. Price: $119.99

#9447 LEGO NINJAGO Lasha’s Bite Cycle – Includes the Bite Cycle, a blacksmith-forge, Venomari fang-blade with green anti-venom capsule, golden weapon, 5 regular weapons and 2 minifigures: Cole ZX and Lasha. 250 pieces. Available in August. Price: $24.99

The Samurai Mech seems to be an excellent set, at least that is my favorite. Also the snake-generals are exceptional! Especially Pythor! I’m still not sure if I like the four-headed dragon though. It looks a bit messy to me. What do you think? 😉

    I agree that the Four-Headed Dragon looks messy, but the set definitely looks epic. It makes me curious as to how they will render such a beast on the TV show.

    • Umar March 3, 2012, 10:29 PM

      If you look at the box you will ill!

    • lloyd zx March 5, 2012, 9:20 PM

      I thought it looked messy too, for a while, but then I saw a toy review where the guy actually held it and kind of played with it. There is a little handle type thing on the dragons back which you can hold while it’s flying and it did not look messy when he played with it.

      • admin March 5, 2012, 9:25 PM

        I saw that video too, and considered posting it here as well (may still do). I had the same conclusion as you; it didn’t look messy when the guy played with it. It actually looked pretty cool! 😛

        • NRG Cole March 6, 2012, 4:39 PM

          can you post it

  • darkon February 16, 2012, 2:07 PM

    Alright! We have official box images now! They look even better than before! 😀 I can’t believe the Samurai Mech is only $39.99 (it looks more like $49.99 to me), but I’m not going to complain! I saw “The Snake King” last night on CN! I can’t believe Skales actually betrayed all three of the other tribes to Pythor! Pythor better watch out, or Skales could betray him next!

  • Kai ZX February 16, 2012, 2:25 PM

    does pythores mouth open and close from the pics it doesn’t look like it

    • admin February 16, 2012, 4:53 PM

      Kai, I don’t think so. There was someone here in the forum who mentioned that Pythor’s mouth opened and closed, but I think he mixed up Pythor with the the Great Devourer. 😉

      • gid617 February 29, 2012, 5:33 AM

        I think it does. Look closely.

  • kai zx February 16, 2012, 4:54 PM

    hey in ninjago season 3 year of the dragon sensei wu retires and
    the ninja’s become sensei’s and all have apprentices and there is a
    water ninja and he has to fing the water gold weapon also lloyd
    and garmadon join and there are snake skeleton men it all so cool!

    • admin February 16, 2012, 5:01 PM

      Kai, are you sure about this? The info we have been receiving so far is the Season 3 will be Ninja vs. Pirates. Not snake-skeletons. 😕

      • ninjago February 24, 2012, 1:16 PM

        what are you talking abaut? B )

      • dave e March 1, 2012, 5:54 PM

        o he is rolblox he fooled me but when i came here its ninja and pirates

    • Jay ZX February 24, 2012, 12:25 PM

      Your lieing kai zx!!!!!!!!you read lego message boards!ya copied someone’s idea.poor for him.anyway,your lieing kai zx.if this was made up by you…you’d be taking it TTTTTOOOOOOOO seriously.i do mean it.admin,this is someone’s idea on lego message boards so don’t listen to him because it is.please listen to me.

      • admin February 24, 2012, 12:29 PM

        Jay, it’s all right. I was planning to write up a summary myself anyway. It would just have been easier if one of you write it up as I have so many other things to write about. You guys can help sometimes with stuff like that. 😉

      • nrg kai March 2, 2012, 3:22 PM

        well you don’t have to be rude jay zx

    • lloyd zx February 27, 2012, 3:21 PM

      I hope there is not golden water weapon. That would totally mess up the whole story. After all, Sensei’s father made those weapons. If there had been a water one, we would have heard of it

  • kai zx February 16, 2012, 4:57 PM

    i meant find the water gold weapon sorry

    • kai zx February 17, 2012, 6:55 AM

      admin people said it on lego.com

      • admin February 17, 2012, 10:01 AM

        Kai, you mean on their forum? Was that kids talking? Always ask them for solid reference! It is amazing what rumors kids can spread! They have said before that the pink ninja is Zane’s brother, and the Green Ninja is Sensei Wu’s son, and all kinds of things… They are worse than adults! 🙄

      • NRG Cole February 17, 2012, 1:06 PM

        i saw it also, it was a suggestion for season 3.

  • Brady February 16, 2012, 6:37 PM

    I am 7. i like the nrg ! ninjago but i thought they were evel

  • Tydroid February 16, 2012, 7:24 PM

    Wow Admin, these pic are amazing! I just wish Pythors teeth were a BIT sharper if they are going to keep him in open-mouthed state .

    • ninjago February 24, 2012, 1:19 PM

      pythor looks awsome

  • Tydroid February 16, 2012, 7:27 PM

    Hey guys, i just noticed this. Look closely at the epic dragon battle set boxing:
    Jay is wearing his training suit!:P I know its a prototype box but its still kinda funny.

    • the awsome zane February 24, 2012, 9:59 PM

      ur right!! weird…

  • Nick Nox February 17, 2012, 5:01 AM

    As hard as I try to overlook it, it still looks like an inverted bucket handle on top of the red ninja’s helmet! 😉

    • admin February 17, 2012, 9:58 AM

      Nick, yep, I have been trying ot overlook that too! I’m not sure why LEGO didn’t just use the old desing! That bucket-handle is… well, it is a bucket-handle! 😆

  • Nick Nox February 17, 2012, 10:07 AM

    Something for custom makers (like Brickforge) to think about offering – an add-on piece for lego samurai helmets 😉 A fairly easy piece to mould, since it would be flat two-sided 🙂 Lets hope 😉 …

    • admin February 17, 2012, 10:12 AM

      Nick, that’s a relaly good suggestion! I will contact my friends at BrickForge. I think they would like the idea! 😀

  • darkon February 17, 2012, 12:11 PM

    Never go on the Lego Club website for information!!! I’ve been there several times before, and all it is are a bunch of five-year-olds screaming about what sets they want Lego to make! Also they talk in sentence fragments and use really bad gramar! It’s like being in a nest full of Fangpyres!!

    • admin February 17, 2012, 12:14 PM

      LOL! Nestful of Fangpyres! YIKES! 😈

  • Brady February 17, 2012, 1:00 PM

    are the nrg evel ?

    • NRG Cole February 17, 2012, 1:04 PM

      no

      • NRG Jay February 28, 2012, 9:13 PM

        No, the nrg are just the ninjas using their full potintal. Ex jay using pure lightning power. Zane uses his nrg power in the episode tick-tock.

  • me February 17, 2012, 1:42 PM

    the ultra sonic raider retails for $79.99

    • Ninjago2012summersets February 17, 2012, 8:49 PM

      I think it is a little too expensive.

      • ninjago master February 18, 2012, 12:26 PM

        i agree, but it was announced at the toy fair

  • ninjago master February 17, 2012, 2:49 PM

    i was really hoping that the ultra sonic raider came with the nrg versions. 🙁

    • Ninjago2012summersets February 18, 2012, 9:51 PM

      Me too.

    • Garmadon March 6, 2012, 2:42 PM

      No sets will come with NRG (probably) cause its sort of like only when they are spinning,I mean they don’t normally use it.

      • Garmadon March 6, 2012, 2:43 PM

        I ment to write Garmadon. Oops.

        • admin March 6, 2012, 2:53 PM

          Changed it for ya. 😉

  • Ninjago2012summersets February 18, 2012, 8:09 AM

    Pythor looks a little bit ugly with the open mouth ( is he screaming?)

    • admin February 18, 2012, 10:25 AM

      It appears from a previous comment that Pythor actually has a movable jaw! 😉

      • Ninjago2012summersets February 18, 2012, 9:54 PM

        GOOD!!

  • Ninjago2012summersets February 18, 2012, 8:16 AM

    It’s very amazing that the samurai mech only needs 452 pieces.

    • admin February 18, 2012, 10:25 AM

      I agree! It is one big beast! 😀

  • ninjago master February 18, 2012, 12:42 PM

    look in the ultra sonic raider and lasha’s bite cycle! they swapped lasha’s and spitta’s torsos. fail

  • Midnightdude February 18, 2012, 4:29 PM

    I love the NRG. If I have the money, I might try to get the dragon, the mech and the tank. But I dunno about the bike. I didn’t know bout that one. Lloyd looks very snazzy in his green outfit and his dragon, THAT IS SO COOL (Loud echo across the whole caves of despair). Lol Jay reference!

  • NRG Cole February 18, 2012, 5:24 PM
    • Midnightdude February 18, 2012, 5:28 PM

      Awesome, I’ve been looking for that episode everywhere!

    • Ninjago2012summersets February 19, 2012, 8:03 AM

      I watched it I really like it.

      • Jay ZX February 24, 2012, 12:34 PM

        I seen it before NRG Cole posted that!Lucky me!

  • greeninja123 February 19, 2012, 7:31 AM

    epic dragon battle is really cool i like the folding wings on it and also i like the big snake and the constrictai jail

    • Ninjago2012summersets February 21, 2012, 1:23 PM

      The big snake is called The Great Devourer.

  • admin February 19, 2012, 10:20 AM

      • Ninjago2012summersets February 23, 2012, 2:39 PM

        If you really miss the samari mech what about Zane he is a robot too if you think that is not true then watch episode 7.

        • Ninjago2012summersets February 23, 2012, 2:40 PM

          OOPS I typed it in the wrong place!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ninjago2012summersets February 23, 2012, 7:50 AM

    Have you guys seen episode 7 there are new secrets reveled ! Zane is a robot,Pythor has a staff, the black bird is a robot too,They both were Desined by his dad, lord Garmadon turned bad because he was bitten by the Great Devourer.

    • lowfatlego February 23, 2012, 11:15 AM

      • Ninjago2012summersets February 23, 2012, 2:35 PM

    • pythor February 23, 2012, 10:50 PM

      i wonder if he knows he is a robot….

  • Jay February 24, 2012, 9:37 AM

    I want the. Green ninja when is it coming

  • darkon February 24, 2012, 11:44 AM

    Zane being a robot was a big surprise, but for me the biggest shock was finding out that the Great Devourer created Evil Garmadon. Did not see that coming! “I am not familiar with the word, treehorn.” Zane “It’s probably just some type of wild squirrel.” Kai

    • Jay ZX February 24, 2012, 12:40 PM

      please,whoever seen the episode 7,please can you make a link to it or tell what you have to type on google.please do at least one of these!please!!!

    • admin February 25, 2012, 8:53 AM

      Lloyd, I will check into that…

      • ninjago master April 1, 2012, 12:53 PM

        you weren’t allowed to touch the displays unless you were working there. i should have asked though.

  • NRG Kai February 25, 2012, 8:46 AM

    do you happen to know when the NRG ninjas are coming out?

    • admin February 25, 2012, 9:03 AM

      I believe they will come out in the fall.

  • The Green Ninja February 25, 2012, 10:20 AM

    Lashas bite cycle looks like it has the constriti fang blade and the ultra sonic raider looks like it has the anacondrai fang blad

    • Lloyd ZX February 25, 2012, 10:59 AM

      its not the anacondrai its the fangpyre fang blade

  • Lloyd ZX February 25, 2012, 11:00 AM

    i saw episode 7 and pythor had his own staff i think they should make hime one and if possible he should get his own fang blade

    • pythor February 25, 2012, 2:22 PM

      did you see “tick tock” online? do you have a link?

      • Lloyd ZX February 25, 2012, 4:59 PM

  • Lloyd ZX February 25, 2012, 11:34 AM

    i think they should make pythor like samukai where you can open thier mouths and close them because pythors mouth is way too open.

  • nrg kai February 25, 2012, 3:17 PM

    admin i went on wickipedia and looked at episode 10 in season 2 and it said zane is the green ninja?

  • Nrg Kai February 25, 2012, 3:34 PM

    That can’t be right!!!!!?????

  • Spinjitzu Master February 25, 2012, 11:24 PM

    I used to be a huge Ninjago fan like you, then Zane turned into a robot.

    • admin February 26, 2012, 10:37 AM

      I don’t mind Zane being a robot. I think it made the story more interesting. And Zane is still my favorite. 🙂

    • Lloyd ZX February 26, 2012, 2:06 PM

      that sounds like arrow to the knee lol

  • nrg kai February 26, 2012, 9:08 AM

    i know and it said that kai is a robot i think they got it wrong

    • admin February 26, 2012, 10:40 AM

      Kai, Zane is a nindroid. A very humanoid robot. 😉

  • admin February 26, 2012, 9:44 AM

  • nrg kai February 26, 2012, 1:07 PM

  • nrg kai February 26, 2012, 1:10 PM

    i said in wikipedia it said kai is a robot

  • Lloyd ZX February 26, 2012, 2:08 PM

    i think the ultra sonic raider is all of their vehicles combined into one.
    it has all their symbols on it. i hope all the ninja can sit in it and not just two cause that would really stink.

    • admin February 26, 2012, 2:19 PM

      That’s actually a great idea and quite likely. We shall see! 😉

      8:00

  • Epic ninja dude February 27, 2012, 12:29 PM

    Is sensei wu in the epic dragon battle because in one of the pictures for the ultra sonic raider you can just see the top of the epic dragon battle and it shows you all the characters and sensei wu is one of them :))

    • Skales March 6, 2012, 9:50 AM

      Yes, if you look at the description for the battle you will see it includes Sensei Wu.

  • nrg kai February 27, 2012, 2:49 PM

    what if zane is the green ninja i think lloyd is but on wikipedia season 2 episode 10 it said zane becomes the green ninja but i hope it is lloyd and if someone has truth about lloyd becoming the green ninja could you tell me plz

    • Skales February 27, 2012, 5:34 PM

      Now it says “the Green Ninja is revealed as ????”

      • pythor February 28, 2012, 5:43 PM

        it is definitely lloyd he has the same eyebrows as the green ninja and on his shirt it a a green number 5 as in the fifth ninja also lloyds main element on his card is lightning and in zanes dream he has the nunchucks of lightning

  • ninja-of-earth February 27, 2012, 6:52 PM

    I just got Cole ZX and Ratla. Admin, do we know anything about when the other Ninjas discover their true potential? Also, do you think the rumors of Zane being the Green Ninja have come out because it has recently been discovered that he is a Nindroid?

    • admin February 27, 2012, 8:22 PM

      Ninja, Jay is going to unlock his full potential in Episode 8. As far as the Green Ninja, the story is getting more and more mysterious. 😉

      • NRG Cole February 27, 2012, 10:42 PM

        hey admin did you see the Korean episode 8. was that the full one, what was that skeleton and what happens to jay

        • admin February 28, 2012, 10:00 AM

          Cole, I don’t speak Korean, so I’m not sure what the skeleton is, but I assume it is a snake skeleton, because when Jay accidentally gets poked by a sharp bone from the skeleton he gets infected and starts turning into a snake! 😯

  • NRG lloyd February 28, 2012, 2:45 AM

    Admin when is episode 8 coming out

    • admin February 28, 2012, 10:07 AM

  • NRG lloyd February 28, 2012, 1:01 PM

    yes on wikipedia it says as well as a former grudge against the ninja for humiliating him and become’s the legendary green ninja

  • NRG lloyd February 28, 2012, 1:02 PM

      E, I’m not sure what you mean. I do see your avatar. NRG Jay, right? Maybe refresh your browser so it will show up for you as well? 😕

  • E March 2, 2012, 11:26 AM

    oh never mind it changed.

  • admin March 2, 2012, 11:38 AM

    Yeah, what’s up? 🙂

  • lloyd zx March 2, 2012, 11:54 AM

    Hey admin, by looking at the set, I don’t think the Samurai Mech has Samurai X’s s-shaped boomerang. Knowing it doesn’t come out till August, could you contact some people at lego and ask them to add that piece before it comes out? Otherwise could you contact brickforge or someone like that to make an add-on piece?

    • admin March 2, 2012, 11:59 AM

      Lloyd, that is actually a really nice idea! I loved that weapon in the show! I will see what I can do. 🙂

    • NRG Cole March 2, 2012, 12:26 PM

      im gonna use samurai x’s crown from her spinner

  • Lloyd ZX March 2, 2012, 2:35 PM

    My ty is broke I need episode 8¡¡¡¡!!!!!!:(

  • Lloyd ZX March 2, 2012, 2:36 PM

    Also I’m @ school 4 real 🙁

  • lloyd zx March 2, 2012, 3:19 PM

    Hey, everybody. Look closely at the dragon heads. I believe the four-headed dragon is actually all four dragons from earlier combined.

    • admin March 2, 2012, 5:23 PM

      Lloyd, I believe that very well could be.

  • ninja-of-earth March 3, 2012, 12:55 PM

    Admin how do you change your avatar?

    • admin March 3, 2012, 1:32 PM

      Go to gravatar.com to set up your avatar. It will autmoatically appear here once you set it up. 😉

  • NRG lloyd March 3, 2012, 2:44 PM

    could someone give me a link for episode 8

  • Super Monkey March 3, 2012, 3:27 PM

    I heard a rumour that at the end Lord Garmadon gets cured from the venom from the great devourer but he is still purple and looks funny because he is dead so he goes back to the underworld and seals it off keeping the skeletons from coming back.

    • admin March 3, 2012, 5:21 PM

      That actually makes a lot of sense. After all this is a kids’ story, and kid-stories usually have a happy ending. After all it was not Garmadon’s fault that he was evil. So yeah, it it a likely ending. 🙂

      • Skales March 3, 2012, 5:29 PM

        I agree.

  • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 8:33 AM

    Admin, do you have any idea how expensive the four NRG ninjas will be? It’s possible that Lego may make them more expensive because of their importance and overall coolness. Also I already have two Jay ZXs, so in order not to have like four Jay ZXs, I wish that they would release epic dragon battle and ultra sonic raider with the NRG ninjas. I already have all four ZX ninjas, in fact, and I wouldn’t mind an extra copy of Jay, but is it possible for you to pull some strings so that the ultra sonic raider has all four NRG ninjas? P.S. – I HATE duplicates

    • admin March 4, 2012, 10:24 AM

      Lloyd, I know what you mean about trying to avoid duplicates! I would suggest that you sell your extra ninja on eBay or BrickLink. That’s what I did with mine. It allows someone else to have the ninja I don’t need, and I also make some money to buy the ones I want. In regards to LEGO making the NRG ninja spinners more expensive because they are cool, I doubt that. It is all about piece-count and how much plastic is used, not about coolness. I have never seen LEGO sell a set for more money just because it is cool. Actually all LEGO sets are cool anyway, it just depends on your own perception of which one is the coolest! 😆

      • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 11:54 AM

        Thanks for the advice, admin, that will definitely be something I’ll try to do. In the meantime, I plan to save up to buy three different sets: The Fangpyre Truck, The 2012 Spijitzu Starter Set, and The Rattlecopter. This will give me duplicates of Rattla, Kai, Cole, Zane, and Jay!!! I can then sell them as a set on eBay, (as all four ZX ninjas) if possible, and I could sell Rattla and my first duplicate of Jay as well. That is a great idea. I bet I would make someone really happy to have all four of them!

        • admin March 4, 2012, 12:00 PM

          Lloyd, yes, that is an great idea! I have seen that minifig sets like that sell really well (even better than individual figs), because as you said; there are others who would like to have a collection. Good luck! 🙂

    • lloyd zx March 5, 2012, 7:51 AM

      I like the zx ninja better than the NRG.

  • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 8:39 AM

    What’s more, it would be awesome if Lego made an NRG Lloyd. If so, then I wonder what element he would be? His card says that he is mostly lightning, but that wouldn’t make sense to have two NRG lightning ninjas. In my opinion, Lloyd should have a separate element, which I think should be wind. The only problem is, then alego would have to make a golden wind weapon (maybe that double bladed green spear that comes with his spinner) and possibly (though not necessarily) add wind to most character cards. Basically, an NRG Lloyd would be awesome.

    • admin March 4, 2012, 10:26 AM

      I agree that it would make sense to have an NRG version of the fifth ninja. I’m not sure if LEGO would make that part of the story though. If not, you can always make your own. That is the beauty of the LEGO hobby; use your imagination to make whatever you want! 🙂

      • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 11:59 AM

        I wonder where I would get such pieces? I could certainly use the spinner from the Green ninjas pack, but would I have to order something off of BrickForge for the rest?

        • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 12:14 PM

          For a second time, great advice. I haven’t ever done something like that, so I really need some more advice about where to begin! Thanks once again for all your help!

          • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 12:16 PM

            I just realized, that’s the site’s motto, isn’t it? Tips and tricks building Lego bricks!

            • admin March 4, 2012, 12:25 PM

              Yeah, that was the original idea for this website! I kind of deviated from that lately with all the news items that needed to be covered, but still I try to sneak in some tutorials here and there. Hopefully the spring is going to be slower for news related stuff and I can do more tutorials. 🙂

          • admin March 4, 2012, 12:22 PM

            Lloyd, what I do to try out customizing techniques is to experiment with some damaged or cheap parts. For example a simple eraser-tip works on removing unwanted printing if you want to modify a head or torso print. You can also use Testors or Eucalyptus oil. For making decals you can use a draw/paint program, then print it on regular paper. Later you can move on to special transparent decal-sheets. Customizing is really fun and my favorite part of the hobby. Here is a great post by one of our contributors about minifig customization. I only posted the first part so far, but it is a great place to begin: http://thebrickblogger.com/2011/12/guide-to-lego-customizing-part-1/

        • admin March 4, 2012, 12:15 PM

          Lloyd, of course you could make NRG Lloyd any way you like, but in my way of thinking the NRG state of all the ninjas is actually pretty simple. Their most special characteristic is their face, so perhaps you could modify a head like this: https://www.bricklink.com/notFound.asp?nf=search&mFolder=t&mSub=v, or just paint/decal your own. And torso-decals are not hard to make. 😉

          • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 12:25 PM

            Awesome, I gues I could try to get rid of most of the markings, and draw eyebrows and eyes as well as a mouth. If possible I might find a blank green torso. And I might make a cyclone-like gold face enlarged on the back, like the faces that the other ninjas have on their uniforms. Going with my original plan, I would make him a wind ninja, and decorate his torso with air-like patterns. The legs will be extremely easy, and as for the hood I’m clueless. As soon as I figure it out and finish it, I’ll be sure to send you a pic!

            • admin March 4, 2012, 12:31 PM

              Lloyd, now your ideas are flowing! 😀
              There is the old-style ninja-hood that comes in green, but it is really expensive on BrickLink. You may just want to wait until Lloyd’s spinner comes out, it would be a lot easier. Or you could just make him some crazy-awesome wind-headgear! 🙄

              • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 2:26 PM

                Thanks!! I’ve already found the perfect torso, https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=973c35 some decent legs https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=970c36pb01 and I’m probably going to wait for the hood like you suggested.

                • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 2:35 PM

                  Another possibility for a face would be this: https://www.bricklink.com/notFound.asp?nf=search&mFolder=t&mSub=v because it would be simpler, and his eyes and eyebrows, which are probably going to be the only things showing, look pretty similar to Lloyd’s.

                  • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 2:40 PM

                    I would really prefer not to wait for the hood, so I am trying to find one without any luck. Any ideas where I could find one?

                    • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 3:49 PM

                      YES!!!! I’ve found a head green head wrap. However, it is season one style, with the little claw holder on the back, but I don’t mind! https://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=3258&colorID=6

                    • admin March 4, 2012, 4:09 PM

                      Lloyd, yeah, I have seen that also, but there is no way I would pay $20 for it! 🙁

                    • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 4:18 PM

                      Yeah, so I’m thinking that I will buy a simple white wrap for $0.45 and dipping it in green paint. Any ideas as to what paint I should use?

                    • admin March 4, 2012, 4:24 PM

                      Lloyd, personally I use Testors. It is a good brand, available in most places, not very expensive, and it goes on nice and thin. It won’t hold up well for rough play though. You can put a clear-coat on it to make it more durable. Don’t dip the part in the paint though! Use a paint-brush, and let it dry for 24 hours. 😉

                    • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 4:38 PM

                      Thanks, and I don’t think you need to worry about roughy play lol

                    • admin March 4, 2012, 4:44 PM

                      Lloyd, you are welcome. Don’t forget to share your wind ninja when he is done! 😉

                    • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 4:46 PM

                      I most definitely will send you a picture!

                    • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 4:47 PM

                      Should I use testors for painting the torso as well?

                    • admin March 4, 2012, 4:51 PM

                      Lloyd, you certainly could if you have mad painting skills! 😀

                    • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 4:56 PM

                      Well, I don’t think so. What else could I do to decorate the torso?

                    • admin March 4, 2012, 6:54 PM

                      Maybe make a custom decal? Some permanent markers also work really well. 🙂

                    • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 4:46 PM

                      Okay, so I’ve found my wrap, head, torso, legs, and paint, for a total price of $13.66 plus the taxes and shipping + handling. Not bad!

                    • dave e March 8, 2012, 6:45 PM

                      whe will they show loyd as the green ninga

                    • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 4:02 PM

                      One small question: Would it be cheaper to buy a white head wrap and dip it in green paint, saving about $19.48, or should I buy a green hood for $20 and be sure that it will stay green?

                  • admin March 4, 2012, 4:03 PM

                    I agree. that’s also a great choice and it is cheap and easily found. I mentioned the other one simply because of those awesome red eyes! All the NRG ninja have wild eyes! But of course it is going to be your ninja, so you can make it any way you want. 😀

                • admin March 4, 2012, 4:01 PM

                  Looks good! 😀

                  • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 4:04 PM

                    Thanks a million for your help, and to be sure that it will stay green, what ik d of Pia t should I use?

                    • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 4:05 PM

                      Sorry that was unintelligible. To be sure the wrap stays green, what kind of paint should I use?

                    • admin March 4, 2012, 4:20 PM

                      LOL! Fingers got stuck? It happens to me too! 😆

    on wikipedia it said season 4 book and rock (tba)

  • Epic ninja dude March 4, 2012, 11:30 AM

    Will the green ninja have a golden weapon? And what is the green ninjas element?

    • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 12:02 PM

      Epic Ninja Dude, according to his character card, Lloyd’s main element is Lightning, but I’m not sure if they’ll give him his own element. If you look at my Avatar, you will see him holding a double-edged green and gold spear. I have determined that this weapon is somewhat special, as only the Green Ninja can weild it, so it can be considered his golden weapon.

  • ninja-of-earth March 4, 2012, 12:50 PM

    NRG Lloyd, you have been wondering about which element Lloyd should be. If you look at Sensei Wu’s character card, you will see that he has all four elements and am going on record to say that Lloyd will be the same.

  • Epic ninja dude March 4, 2012, 1:04 PM

    Thanks NRG Lloyd but isn’t it kinda weird that there will be two lightning ninjas. I thought the green ninja might be wind.

    • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 2:31 PM

      I wish! I was a little surprised at first about Legos choice of elements. Instead of going with the usual Wind, Water, Fire, Earth combo, they replaced water and wind with lightning and ice. Lloyd should most definitely be wind, especially since his color is green!

      • Skales March 13, 2012, 12:18 PM

        On Brickipedia I discovered that Lloyd ZX’s element is the same as Cole’s.

  • ninja-of-earth March 4, 2012, 3:54 PM

    Admin I have done alot of experimenting with custom decals because I have made some custom CW ARC Troopers, and have even used transparent decals, but they do not stick to the minifig torso. Any ideas? Also, I have bought a custom minifig from minifigmaker.com and was wondering how they, (and clonearmycutoms.com) custom cast pieces and print decals. How much would equipment like that cost?

    • admin March 4, 2012, 4:19 PM

      Ninja, what kind of decals did you use? Most LEGO fans use waterslide decals as they look more realistic. Once you apply them you can’t really tell it is not an official LEGO print. You need water to apply them.

      Making custom decals is not that expensive. You just need decal-paper, or water-slide sheets. Also, you need to have a good printer. I do all my decals myself and they turn out pretty good. For custom casting you can use a resin-casting kit. Resin turns out just like plastic – you can’t really tell the difference. It takes some skill to learn casting though. If you want some tutorials let me know and I will link you to them. Minifig Clonier has excellent tutorials on the subject. There are also 3D printers some customizers use, but they costs thousands of $$$.

      Some customizers are also open to suggestions, and if there is enough interest they will make what you want. BrickForge and BrickWarriors are two examples who are open to requests. Hope this helps some! 😉

      • ninja-of-earth March 4, 2012, 4:48 PM

        I would really like learn more about resign casting and where I could get a kit because I am trying a create a website that sells my own custom figures.

        • admin March 4, 2012, 4:54 PM

  • NRG Lloyd March 4, 2012, 7:41 PM

    Which site would you recommend for custom decal?

    • admin March 4, 2012, 8:26 PM

      Lloyd, you would probably need to make one. 😉

  • NRG Lloyd March 5, 2012, 6:26 PM

    Are there any decal sites you would recommend?

    • admin March 5, 2012, 6:47 PM

      There are many individuals who sell stickers and decals, but since you want something unique, you probably would have to design it yourself. Most decal-makers cater to a larger market like Star Wars, castle, etc.

      • NRG Lloyd March 5, 2012, 7:19 PM

        Sorry for asking the same question over and over, but I couldn’t see my own comment yet again??? Anyway, by designing my own decal, do you mean I would have to use a program like paint or microsoft publisher? I’m lost on how I would do that.

        • admin March 5, 2012, 7:34 PM

          Lloyd, since you are doing a wind ninja, I would just draw or paint the design on a little piece of paper, then attach it to the minifig torso. You can also use Paint or other software. It is really not that hard to use. Especially Paint is very easy. But I usually only use software when I need several of the same desing (like shield-decals). For designing the torso of just one minifig, I would just hand-draw or paint it. Have fun! 🙂

          • NRG Lloyd March 6, 2012, 4:15 PM

            Okay, thanks a million! Now it’s time to stop asking questions and get to work! I’ll tell you and send you a pic as soon as I’m finished! 🙂

    Hey admin, sorry I am kind of off the subject right now, but by watching episode 6 again, it appears that samurai x has two boomerangs, one that the mech throws and a smaller one that she uses. Thanks for your help!

    • admin March 5, 2012, 9:24 PM

      Lloyd, yeah I saw that too! 😀

  • lloyd zx March 5, 2012, 9:15 PM

    Hey admin, I just posted a comment. I cannot see it. Do you?

    • admin March 5, 2012, 9:24 PM

      Lloyd, I do see your comments. You may need to refresh your page? 😕

  • lloyd zx March 5, 2012, 9:25 PM

    Hey admin, if you are there, remember the boomerang addition idea? Well, I went back and watched episode 6 again and it appears that there are two boomerangs. The one that hit Jay was bigger and thrown by the robot. After Samurai x’s exo suit flew off, however, she threw a little one and hit the sliding button with it. If those pieces were added to the set, it would make the set totally epic! I also liked a previous comment recommending the gadget face on one side of Samurai X’s head and the regular one on the other. Tell me what you think!

    • admin March 5, 2012, 9:41 PM

      Lloyd, I also hope that LEGO will make the small boomerang! It seems like Nya has quiate a few of those! 😀
      And I really hope that Samurai X’s face is going to be with googles on one side in the Samurai-X Mech set! That would be awesome! 😛

      Ninja, as I have said; I will change it when a better version is available. Readers have been bugging me for over a week for Episode 8, so I had to post something to keep the mobs quiet. 😉
      So far I have been always able to find the latest episode on Saturdays. It is already midday on Sunday and still nothing. But again; don’t worry, as soon as a better version comes out I will change it. And you can also help out by looking for it. 🙂

      Lloyd ZX, that is what I am devoting time to try to do! I plan on making a custom NRG Lloyd myself, and if you could provide your email or anything I could send a picture to, I could most definitely send you a pic of my final product! 🙂

    Does anyone know the release date for the lego ninjago summer sets?

    • admin March 12, 2012, 5:18 PM

      The official release supposed to be in August. My guess is that they will start showing up in July. 🙂
