Playing Ninjago Spinjitzu – Part 1: Essentials

(Written by Geneva – gid617)

If you are new to the LEGO Ninjago spinner game, below I will share with you the basic rules of Spinjitzu that will get you started. After playing with these rules for awhile, you might just want to change them a little,ย so I have also included several suggestions of my own. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Before we start with the Spinjitzu rules though, it’s probably a good idea to mention SP, which means Spinjitzu Power. Spinjitzu Power refers to the element and amount of the element (Fire, Lightning, Earth, Ice) marked on the side (bottom leftย and top right) of all the Spinjitzu battle-cards, and on the bottom of your character-card.

A Ninjago character-card won’t be in your card-deck while you’re playing, but it determines which character you will play at the beginning of the game, and the amount of SP you will have during the game. The reason this is important is because you can only play a battle-card if your character has equal or more SP as the battle-card.

The basic rules of the Ninjago Spinjitzu game are as followsย (and hopefully I’m not boring the more advanced players):

โžก Pick a Ninjago character, the matching character-card, three weapons (you’re only supposed to use one golden weapon, but who cares), a spinner, a spinner-crown, and your battle-deck (consisting only battle-cards, and no duplicates).

โžก Shuffle your battle-deck and draw four cards. These are the cards you will play during the game (one before the spin, one after, and a Scroll-card or Challenge-card after loosing a weapon). According to the official Spinjitzu rules, you may only pick up a maximum of one card per turn, if you have less than four cards in your hand. However, it is much nicer to pick up cards until you have four each time – that way you might actually get though your deck during the game! ๐Ÿ˜€

โžก Then comes the actual spinning. Since the previous two points can be quite complicated (especially when everyone is trying to explain them at once) it might be a good idea not to introduce them to a new player until they are comfortable with the idea of spinning.

Of course whoever has their character fall off the spinner looses. In theory at least,ย this means that the first person to fall looses, even if the second person falls off soon after. However this might be hard to judge, so you can change this to a ten second difference. If neither (or both) characters fall, then the spin was a tie, and you repeat the spin (without changing your weapon, but you canย make necessary fixes toย your character/spinner).

This whole process can get tedious though, especially if you are spinning in a large Spinjitzu arena. So I like using a rule I call the three-spin-rule: after three ties all cards played at the beginning of the round are cancelled, and you can play (or discard – as the case may be) a card, since this is the end of that spin. (You may also discard – not play! – a Scroll-card after the spin.)

There are several problems with using the arena included in Ninjago starter-sets; for one thing, it’s hard to keep them in place! Plus, you can’t really fall off the edge or avoid your opponent and their traps – which might benefit you sometimes, but can also hurt you! Another difficulty is that the official Ninjago arenas are really too small for more than two players – although you can certainly add more pieces to make them larger. Personally though, I prefer a table-top –ย especially if it has removable legs and slightly elevated sides! 8)

๐Ÿ’ก There are three main differences in how you can spin. The first way is simply spinning normally: hard and fast, but not in any particular direction. This is useful when there are no traps, your character is not on one leg (or other non-beneficial position) or if you are the aggressor (the traps are yours, your opponentโ€™s character is on one leg, etc.). Under certain circumstances this spinning technique has its disadvantages, but typically it is very useful.

๐Ÿ’ก Another way to spin is slamming. Tilt your spinner slightly in the direction you wish to go; often straight at your opponent. This is great if you are playing with the spin-off-the-edge-and-die rule, especially if you have Up for Grabs/Strike Down and/or Sensei’s Whistle/Sensei’s Teatime (“win if both characters fall”/”this spin is a tie”) cards in your hand, or if your opponentโ€™s character is on one leg or trying to avoid your traps. The major disadvantage of this type of spinning is that if your opponent can guess what you are up to, they may manage to move out of the way before you spin. In any case, this technique usually takes a lot of practice (I often end up running straight off the edge) and is certainly not recommended if you’re on your last weapon! ๐Ÿ™„

๐Ÿ’ก The last type of spinning technique is an evasive spin. When your opponent has played a trap-card, has their character stand on one leg/bend over backwards, or added some formidable pieces to their spinner (like Whip Attack), you will probably want to use a very light, spin-along-the-edge technique. The major disadvantage of this kind of spinning is that your opponent may realize what you are intending to do, and slam you accordingly – or, if they have the Double Stars or Spitfire Snake Crown-cards (“throw it and your character-card during spin”, or “throw all discarded Fire-cards during spin”), they may manage to knock you off the edge if they throw hard and have good aim! ๐Ÿ™

And that’s all there is to it! All in all, the way you spin depends on who you are fighting and what cards you and your opponent have played. Which of course brings us to the next topic: the Ninjago cards, but they will require a separate post all to themselves! ๐Ÿ˜‰

So what do you think? Have you had any success with some of the methods I have shared? Do you have other tips for playing the Spinjitzu game? Or do you have any questions? Feel free toย share in the comment section below! NINJA… GO!!! ๐Ÿ˜€

    Nice post!!!

    • gid617 June 5, 2012, 11:15 AM

      Thanks! ๐Ÿ˜‰

  • NRG Jay June 5, 2012, 12:46 PM

    So glad there is another writer for Ninjago, so Admin can focus on other posts.

    gid617, you are an excellent writer. Ninjago is my fav theme, and i really like this post!

    What sets do you have (ninjago) and what sets do you wish you had?

    • gid617 June 5, 2012, 2:31 PM

      Lets see. . . I have 15 spinners, plus the three “old” booster packs, and I also have NRG Jay and Zane ZX pretty much on the way.
      My 15 spinners are:
      Kai
      Jay vs. Fracjaw
      Cole
      Zane
      Nya
      Kai DX
      Cole DX
      Kendo Kai
      Kendo Zane
      Samurai X
      Kai ZX
      NRG Kai vs. Chokun
      NRG Cole
      Plus I also have the Ninjago Battle Arena (the one w/Sensei Wu normal and his spinner but no cards).
      I wish I had gotten Zane ZX, and also Lord Garmadon (and I would have liked Sensei Wu). I also want Cole ZX vs. Rattla, but I’m saving up for that so it’s possible I’ll get it in the future.
      As far as sets go, I only have the Skull Motorbike and the Training Outpost – both from 2011. I am hoping to get the Ultra Sonic Raider (although I don’t have nearly enough money yet!) and I kind of wish I had got Jay’s Storm Fighter (although I still could), and Cole’s Earth Dragon. Actually, I couldn’t have afforded most of those things I didn’t get – except Zane DX, which is why he’s on top! ๐Ÿ˜‰ I’d also like Kendo Jay’s Booster Pack and the three fire spinners I’m missing – but since they are snakes, I probably would be allowed to get them anyways! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Olus I want Sensei Wu’s normal charcter card. And thanks for your complements on my writing! ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜†

      • gid617 June 5, 2012, 5:11 PM

        Oops – I meant that since they are snakes I probably would not be allowed to get them! ๐Ÿ˜‰

      • gid617 June 6, 2012, 2:10 PM

        I also have the 2011 headband and two card pouches plus the NeatOh! case.

      • Lloyd Guy July 22, 2012, 9:11 AM

        gid617 you have alot of spinners! I was wondering what cards the weapon pack comes with + Chokun’s SP.

  • admin June 5, 2012, 3:11 PM

    Geneva, I have been meaning to ask you; do you know what all those little symbols and numbers mean at the bottom of the cards? They are both on the character-cards and battle-cards:

    There are some little star or shuriken-like symbols – some cards with one, some with more. There are the black symbols in the circle (only on the battle-cards), then there is a 7-digit number, then another number with a dash (like 19/125 on Zane ZX’s card, or on Sensei Wu’s card there is a *7). I have always wondered what all of those mean. ๐Ÿ˜•

    • gid617 June 5, 2012, 5:09 PM

      The symbols on the battle cards specify what type it is; eg. two crossing swords means control; a scroll means it’s a challange card; a brick means a build (add something to your spinner) card; a plus, add a certain muber of SP to your character (it has a specific name but I’ve forgotton it!); a hand means force; a exploding bomb means trap; and I think that’s all. I am not sure what the seven digit number means – I think it’s related to which spinner it came with (when you order them that’s the way it turns out) but the 19/125 card means that there are 125 cards in this season (2012 – there were only 81 in 2011) and that is the 19th card organized by element – last year they were also organised by increasing SP (with golden cards counting as 200 more than the marked #), this year in’s by decreasong SP, as far as I can tell. The addition of Scroll cards (probably counted as 100 more than they are worth) and crown cards (don’t ask me how much more than they are worth these are counted! ๐Ÿ˜‰ ) makes it a lot more difficult. The star means it’s a promotional card, or it comes in a special set (like last year’s card holder). Sensei Wu’s is, I’ll admit, an exception, but the only thing I can figure is that lego decided a little late to make him DX instead of normal (his normal charcter card is 16/81).
      As far as the star symbols, I’m still wondering what they mean! I have noticed that the character cards always have at least as many stars as the battle card they come with that has the most # of stars – if that makes any sense! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Other than that, it does seem pretty random!
      Hope that helps! ๐Ÿ˜‰

      • admin June 5, 2012, 8:56 PM

        Thanks! Yes, that’s perfect! The Ninjago cards are awesome! Also love the artwork! ๐Ÿ˜€

        • gid617 June 5, 2012, 9:00 PM

          Your welcome! ๐Ÿ˜‰ I also noticed that I was wrong about the charcters always having as many stars as the card that has the most of the ones they come with – Kai doesn’t. ๐Ÿ™

          • admin June 5, 2012, 9:01 PM

            Yeah, that’s what I notied too! Confusing… ๐Ÿ˜•

            • NRG Cole June 12, 2012, 6:03 PM

              i think the star is how rare it is

              • admin June 12, 2012, 8:51 PM

                That could make sense. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  • admin June 5, 2012, 9:44 PM

    UPDATE: Guys, I have just learned that the following was announced by Kevin Hinkle (LEGO public relations rep): Ninjago will end with the next season and sets will be on the shelves thru 2013. He also indicated that it will be replaced with something even more amazing. Also, there is going to be at least 6 more series of collectible minifigures, and the LEGO Friends line is doing very well. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    • NRG PYTHOR [ Fine, im pythors ghost... but NRG!] June 5, 2012, 11:48 PM

      NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WHY AM I COLLECTING THE SPINNERS? IM DONE WITH SPINNERS! AND WHAT IS MORE AMAZING THAN NINJAGO?

      • NRG PYTHOR [ Fine, im pythors ghost... but NRG!] June 5, 2012, 11:51 PM

        Admin, could u tell the people in episode 13 this too? They need to know! ๐Ÿ˜ฅ ๐Ÿ˜ฅ ๐Ÿ˜ฅ ๐Ÿ˜ฅ ๐Ÿ˜ฅ ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

        • admin June 6, 2012, 8:47 AM

          Pythor, you can also tell the others. You write here as much as I do. ๐Ÿ˜‰

          • NRG PYTHOR [ NOOOOOO! Ninjago is ending in 2013!] June 6, 2012, 11:45 PM

            Ok ill try, i is just that my comptor is slow so im not on so much now.

      • NRG PYTHOR [ NOOOOOO! Ninjago is ending in 2013!] June 6, 2012, 12:02 AM

        i may just buy spinners for the minifigs and crown now[ not the spinner or cards] ๐Ÿ˜ฅ ๐Ÿ˜ฅ ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

        • gid617 June 6, 2012, 7:46 AM

          Why not the spinners or the cards? Surely you didn’t think that ninjago would last forever! ๐Ÿ˜‰ If you ask me, this si insentive to get as many as you can now ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜‰

    • gid617 June 6, 2012, 7:45 AM

      Well, it’s sad that it will end next season; but I beleive the more amazing part – lego is always doing something like that! ๐Ÿ˜‰ and I’m just hoping it won’t be anything with bad guys that look too bad or my mom won’t like it ๐Ÿ˜‰ Six more series of minifigs would make 13, right? Wouldn’t it make more sense to stop at 15 or 10?

      • gid617 June 6, 2012, 7:52 AM

        Actually, Ninjago lasting three years is pretty good – most themes (other than the sort-of last forever themes – like City and SW) only last 1 year – 2 at most.

        • admin June 6, 2012, 9:01 AM

          Yes, this is especially true for themes that are designed for kids. Kids grow up fast and what they were into 3 years ago is not likely their interest 3 years later. And the younger kids growing up after them want something new.

          • gid617 June 6, 2012, 10:42 AM

            Yeah, that’s true. Besides, a theme ending gives you a chance to collect the sets you missed ๐Ÿ˜‰

            • admin June 6, 2012, 10:55 AM

              That’s actually a really good point. One of the problems with Star Wars is that some fans are in constant anxiety over wanting to collect all the sets – something that is pretty much impossible unless you are a millionaire and live in a huge house. I actually like smaller themes that doesn’t last that long, because if I want to collect all the sets, it is not impossible. They often go on sale too just before the end of their life, which is a great time to pick up missing sets! I have recently bought all my favorite Alien Conquest sets this way 50% off. I just love that theme! Also Prince of Persia. The colors in those sets are just gorgeous! ๐Ÿ˜€

              • gid617 June 6, 2012, 2:09 PM

                Yeah; even trying to collect a three-year theme can get pretty tough! ๐Ÿ˜‰ I’ve never actually gotten any sizable portion of any theme (except maybe Ninjago) but I know some one who collected all but one of the Power Miners sets! ๐Ÿ˜‰ I do like Price of Persia, except for the tan heads. They just don’t mix well with yellow and don’t have the variety to compeate! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Plus they don’t go well with bright-colored shirts/torsos and pants.
                And yeah, I love it when the ones you’re missing go on sale! (It’s kind of nasty when the ones you bought at full price do though ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

      • admin June 6, 2012, 8:59 AM

        Geneva, yeah, Kevin said they wanted to end Ninjago on a high note, rather then having it drag out like Bionicle. As far as the collectible figs, Kevin said there is going to be AT LEAST six more. This means 6 more is already designed and scheduled for release (LEGO plans everything 4 years ahead), but there could be more. ๐Ÿ˜‰

        • gid617 June 6, 2012, 10:40 AM

          OK; I guess Lego doesn’t planed more than 1 1/2 years ahead? (Since 6 series three months apart is 1 1/2 years) And it is probably a good idea to come up with something new before the old stuff gets too boring! ๐Ÿ˜‰ (Not that I’m bored with ninjago ๐Ÿ˜‰ ).

          • admin June 6, 2012, 10:50 AM

            Geneva, it takes years conceptualize, research, design, test, make, market and distribute a product (LEGO or otherwise). In regards to LEGO, in those four years some products will be in the concept stage, some in the design stage, some in the finalizing stage, etc. So 6 more collectible minifigure series means that those 6 have been already planned, approved and more or less finalized. In addition as LEGO is thinking about making new products they also have to keep their eyes open for market trends, the financial situation of the world, the future of the company, etc. So sometimes they may need to change or modify plans as they go. Hope that helps. ๐Ÿ˜‰

            • gid617 June 6, 2012, 2:04 PM

              Yeah, I kind of figured that they had the concepts planned several years in advance; but they don’t know for sure what they are going to make until about two years in advance – is that right? ๐Ÿ˜‰ I know that they actually make them a year ahead – this year’s spinners say 2011 ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜‰

              • admin June 6, 2012, 5:26 PM

                Kevin said that he actually knows LEGO sets and themes coming 4 years in advance. So it seems like whatever is planned four years ago is in a pretty solid stage. Perhaps not manufactured yet, but it has passed the concept and design stage. At least that is my understanding. ๐Ÿ˜‰

                • gid617 June 7, 2012, 11:41 AM

                  Wow! Then they’re planning farther ahead than I thought! ๐Ÿ˜‰

                • Luca June 24, 2012, 11:56 PM

                  Pleasepleasepleaseplease ask him if LEGO has ANY intention of bringing Bionicle back. That would make my LIFE!!!!!!!!!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

        • Luca June 25, 2012, 12:01 AM

          Dont diss Bionicle like that! IT WAS THE GREATEST THING IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE!
          Ps. I’m actually not sooooo sad about Ninjago ending. Just because LEGO won’tmake sets anymore doesn’t mean that it’s dead! Think of all the stories you guys create! NINJA…GO!

    I don’t know why LEGO would stop Ninjago becuase it’s one of their best selling themes. ๐Ÿ™„

    • admin June 6, 2012, 10:07 AM

      Nace, Kevin mentioned they didn’t want to drag out the series like Bionicle, which was very popular for a while, then fans lost interest. Kids grow up fast, and the same kids who are now interested in Ninjago will likely grow out of the theme in a few years, so LEGO didn’t want to get caught in that predicament.

      • Luca June 25, 2012, 12:03 AM

          Luca, there will always be devoted fans like you. (Actually, you are not the only one. In almost any LEGO fan event LEGO reps get asked if Bionicle will be back. The answer has always been “no”.) However LEGO has to make decisions based on numbers. When the numbers decline they have to do something. However you can always continue the story with your own sets. A theme may be stopped, but nobody can stop your imagination. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  • nace10 June 6, 2012, 10:19 AM

              • admin June 8, 2012, 5:27 PM

                Sasuto, it is not Kevin’s decision. Kevin is an employee, not the owner of LEGO. BTW, if you still like Ninjago when you are 40, you should still be able to pick them up on BrickLink, eBay, and who knows what other new places there will be for buying and selling LEGO. Right now you can pick up LEGO sets all the way back from the 60s! So I think when you grow up Ninjago will still be around on the secondary market. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    • admin June 7, 2012, 9:00 AM

      Xi, it is most likely NOT going to be a licensed theme, but a theme developed by LEGO, just like Ninjago. ๐Ÿ˜‰

      • gid617 June 7, 2012, 11:43 AM

        Yeah, probably. Lego usually replaces liscensed themes with other licensed themes – and vice versa. ๐Ÿ˜‰

          Actually, the Hunger Games are under construction. After that, I would have to agree

            What are the Hunger Games? I haven’t heard of them before.

              The Hunger Games is a book series. BTW, it is excellent! I highly recommend you check it out. The first part was also made into a movie that came out just recently. It is awesome! And very intense! I set at the edge of my seat the whole time watching it, and dropped my popcorn! ๐Ÿ™„

              • gid617 June 13, 2012, 12:34 PM

                OK, thanks! ๐Ÿ˜‰

                • Taryn (Ninja of Electronics) June 13, 2012, 8:11 PM

                  You should totally read the Hunger Games books! A lego theme on HG isnt a bad idea. What would they do with all the blood and killing though? Ive never seen a lego theme with killing in it. and lego is suppose to be a kiddie thing too. So it has to be totally kid approved.

                  • gid617 June 14, 2012, 3:34 PM

                    Don’t the licenced themes have killing in them? – maybe thats not shown by lego, but it’s still there ๐Ÿ˜‰

                    • Taryn (Ninja of Electronics) June 14, 2012, 6:24 PM

                      Hmm, well idk but dont the pirates of the carribean have killing in it? lego’s got a theme in that. still, i think it’s a good theme to try but not good in terms of story.

    • Luca June 25, 2012, 12:08 AM

      No, something original not that crap. :

  • Xi ninja June 6, 2012, 11:04 PM

    Eragon? The Heroes of Olympus? Fairy tales? Just plain old Greek myths? Something else for girls? Apple products? Angry Birds? Star Trek? Something else like Bionicle or Hero Factory? Some popular video game? Looks like we will just have to find out!

    • gid617 June 8, 2012, 2:40 PM

      Probably something that will have episodes for CN, plus something that’s not like any of the recent themes. Greek something or other does seem like a good idea to me ๐Ÿ˜‰ Probably not something like Hero Factory/Bionicle, at least in my opionion. ๐Ÿ˜‰

      • Luca June 25, 2012, 10:10 AM

        LEGO tries to stay away form religious topics, so Ancient Greece is probably not going to happen. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    • Luca June 25, 2012, 10:09 AM

      Lego will replace it with an ORIGONAL theme. Something THEY make up.

  • nace10 June 7, 2012, 9:35 AM

    First Dragon Ball’s episodes come to an end.In 2009 it was my life’s saddest moments,Michael Jackson finished too.So the next one is Ninjago

    • admin June 8, 2012, 5:09 PM

      Yeah, life always changes. The persons and thing that have passed will live on in our memories. We can continue to appreciate them and also be open and excited about the things yet to come. ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Luca June 25, 2012, 12:11 AM

      WHAT ABOUT BIONICLE!!!!!!??????? I hate everyone everywhere right now. Pouty face.

      • Luca June 25, 2012, 12:14 AM

        I’m HAPPY Ninjago is ending! You obsessive fanpeople have to learn to move on! Sheesh! Exclamation point!

        • admin June 25, 2012, 9:31 AM

          Luca, you are at the Ninjago forum, so everyone here naturally going to talk about Ninjago. ๐Ÿ˜‰

          • Luca June 25, 2012, 10:05 AM

            Yeah well if it’s possible to fall in love with a toy line, MOST OF YOU HERE HAVE!

            • admin June 25, 2012, 10:12 AM

              Luca, although some people may consider LEGO as nothing more than a toy-line (they would buy sets, build them according to the instructions, then display them or swoosh them around, or whatever). For many of us LEGO is lot more than just another toy. It is a creative medium – like paint, clay, or wood. It can be used to create pretty much anything you can think of! And that is why LEGO is a long-time favorite of not just children, but also adults. It is a hobby that stimulates creativity, imagination, engineering and artistic skills. And, yes, this includes Bionicle. ๐Ÿ˜‰

              • Luca June 25, 2012, 10:16 AM

                I meant the amount of attention Ninjago is getting. Look at all the stories people make up, how many posts are about Ninjago on this blog alone, compaired to the other sections, AND THEY HAVE A TV SHOW FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!! And if you want to talk about using LEGO as a creative medium, that’s what I do.

  • gid617 June 8, 2012, 2:38 PM

    Admin, someone suggested that Lego didn’t actually say they were discontinuing Ninjago, just that they didn’t have anything planned for 2014. However, if they have as good (or better) sales in 2013 as this year, they might continue it into 2014. Do you think that’s possible? ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜‰

    • admin June 8, 2012, 5:30 PM

      Geneva, nothing is impossible, however what Kevin said is that Ninjago will not be produced beyond 2013. Of course they can change their mind. ๐Ÿ˜‰

      • gid617 June 8, 2012, 7:31 PM

        Actually, I’m not that disappointed – I was kind of expecting Ninjago to end w/three years (mainly because no one ends with the number four ๐Ÿ˜‰ ); besides, I’m sure Lego will come up with something just as good (if not better ๐Ÿ˜‰ ) to replace it! ๐Ÿ˜€

        • NRG PYTHOR [ NOOOOOO! Ninjago is ending in 2013!] June 11, 2012, 9:03 PM

          But ninjago has cool minifigs! Like the first lego snake minifig. Also the ZX ninja are awsome ๐Ÿ˜€

          • gid617 June 12, 2012, 4:29 PM

            Of course, I love ninjago! ๐Ÿ˜‰ But I also think that whatever the next theme will be will probably be really cool as well! ๐Ÿ˜‰

            • Sensei Zane June 12, 2012, 5:39 PM

              Technically, Season 3 is season 2. So lasting untill 2014 wont surprise me.

              • gid617 June 12, 2012, 6:59 PM

                Well, it wouldn’t have surprised me that much either; but it seems like Ninjago maybe ending in 2013 – although it is interesting that Wikipedia (and in this case it does semm very unlikely! ๐Ÿ˜‰ ) is saying that season 2 (pirates, at least according to rumor) will start in July! ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜‰ – which, BTW, I don’t really believe! ๐Ÿ˜‰

  • gid617 June 12, 2012, 4:33 PM

    I think I figured out what the stars on the bottom of the cards mean – nothing whatsoever! Seriously, I’ve tried arrangeing them in all kinds of different ways, but there doesn’t seem to be any method. Of course, I don’t have nearly all the cards, so that might make it a little harder, but it doesn’t seem to make any difference. The only thing I can come up with is that LEGO might use them for something next year (kind of like they introduced spinner-crowns this year). Still, that doesn’t seem too likely – I can’t really see what that would be like; plus the spinner crowns didn’t draw on anything from this year.

    • Sensei Zane June 12, 2012, 5:41 PM

      True…I will check my cards aswell, but I doubt it…Perhaps the number or size of the stars will count?

      • gid617 June 12, 2012, 6:57 PM

        Size? I’m not quite sure what you mean. I was refering to the stars on the right hand bottom of the cards (character cards as well as battle cards). ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜‰ But I think I understand what you mean – maybe something like the number (and size?) haveing to correspond to something else (maybe the number of weapons you have left? . . .) ?) ?? ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜‰

    • admin June 12, 2012, 8:44 PM

      Hm… interesting… thanks for the update on this! ๐Ÿ™‚

  • NRG PYTHOR [ NOOOOOO! Ninjago is ending in 2013!] June 12, 2012, 7:22 PM

    I think its how “special” it is, because the free ninjago card TRU gave out last year had 3 stars, while others have 2 or 1

    • gid617 June 13, 2012, 12:37 PM

      Yeah, that could be. but I don’t see what’s so special about Provoke Anger (oponent can only use fire cards for this spin) – which has two stars and is golden. And why Nya’s character cards would have three is beyond me. Plus, FYI, there are several battle cards that have three stars; backdraft and Wildfire (or is it Volcano?), for example.

  • NINJA-GO June 13, 2012, 11:19 AM

    I have a cool Ninjago website it’s ninjasofninjago.wordpress.com
    It has a lot of the same stories as thebrickblogger but some stories are different so I love for you to check it out! Thanks!

    • admin June 13, 2012, 11:28 AM

      Hm… I tried to check it out but it says that this website is no longer available. ๐Ÿ˜•

      • NRG PYTHOR [ NOOOOOO! Ninjago is ending in 2013!] June 13, 2012, 7:57 PM

        mabey the stars dont mean anything. But when i got Fang-suei all his cards[ including charater] had 3 stars!

        • gid617 June 14, 2012, 10:17 AM

          yeah, I noticed that. And Nya and Kai DX are very similar – most of their cards (including character) have 3 stars.

        • gid617 June 15, 2012, 6:46 PM

          So does Mezmo, apparently ๐Ÿ˜‰

        And thanks for checking it out!

  • gid617 June 14, 2012, 2:04 PM

    K-mart is selling Slithraa and NRG Zane now! ๐Ÿ˜‰ According to my brother, they were also selling Lizaru and Bytar, but they aren’t any more.

    • Taryn (Ninja of Electronics) June 14, 2012, 6:27 PM

      Aargh! We dont have Kmart where I live!!!!! Why is everything USA?! ๐Ÿ˜ฅ go all over the world plz plz plzzzz ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

      • gid617 June 14, 2012, 6:56 PM

        Well, K-mart is just selling them online; plus they have outrageous shipping ๐Ÿ˜‰ and also they have something to do with sears, so you might be able to get one anyways ๐Ÿ˜‰ – but of course, not nesecarially ๐Ÿ˜‰

        • Taryn (Ninja of Electronics) June 15, 2012, 5:00 PM

          We have sears!!! yes yes yesssssss!

          • gid617 June 15, 2012, 6:44 PM

            Oh, well. It’s sold out now, at least temporarially. ๐Ÿ™ Just when I was about to get it, too. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  • pwr cole June 15, 2012, 8:29 AM

    admin di yiu have an pwr cole?

    • admin June 15, 2012, 9:19 AM

      Not yet! ๐Ÿ˜‰

      • Taryn (Ninja of Electronics) June 15, 2012, 5:02 PM

        i think the Nrg outfits are , in my opinion, ugly. if it was to represnt them exploding when they’re getting their full potential, all right , that was a pretty good job.

        • gid617 June 15, 2012, 6:39 PM

          Yeah. I’m of the same opinion. At least with those heads, although they look fairly good w/normal faces.

  • Skales June 16, 2012, 9:54 AM

    Yeah!!! I just ordered the Samurai Mech, NRG Jay, NRG Cole, NRG Kai and Choken, and Spitta! Tomorrow I will order Kendo Jay and Kendo Zane! ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ™‚

    • gid617 June 16, 2012, 2:29 PM

      Wow! That’s pretty good! The only new spinner you’re missing is Fang-dam (unless you already had him, of course! ๐Ÿ˜‰ ). I got all the NRG (except Zane, of course) but I didn’t get Spitta ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ˜‰

      • Skales June 16, 2012, 2:32 PM

        Yes, I have Fangdam.
