Images of the sets related to The LEGO Ninjago Movie have been revealed last week, however the rumored largest set was still missing from the line-up; the #70620 LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City. Yesterday, LEGO finally released images and details of this amazing set via their social-media channels and the LEGO Ninjago section of the Online LEGO Shop. 🙂

Level one features a traditional fish market, house, a bridge over a stream, and a fishing boat. The second level has a modern fashion store, comic book store, crab restaurant with ‘crab-grilling’ function and cash-dispensing ATM. The vertical city is topped off with Lloyd Garmadon and Misako’s apartment, a rooftop sushi bar with sushi conveyor belt, and a radio tower. This action-packed set also includes 16 minifigures and Sweep the maintenance robot. 4,867 pieces. Price: $299.99 – CHECK AT THE ONLINE LEGO SHOP

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City includes 16 minifigures: Jay, Kai and Lloyd Garmadon (each with new-for-August-2017 high school outfit decoration), Green Ninja Suit, Misako, Jamanakai Villager, Sally, Ivy Walker, Konrad, Severin Black, Tommy, Guy, Juno, Mother Doomsday, Shark Army Gunner and Officer Noonan, plus Sweep the maintenance robot.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City features a 3-level model (each level lifts off for easy play) connected by a sliding elevator, plus a traditional Asian-style fishing boat.

Level 1 features a bridge, sewer outlet, stream with translucent-blue and translucent-green water elements, sliding elevator with room for a minifigure, traditional fish market with fish and crab elements, house with dining room and bedroom with sliding screen doors and foldout ‘solar panels’, Sweep the maintenance robot’s service station with assorted tool elements, and a taxi stand with telephone element.

Level 2 features a modern fashion store with 2 mannequins and assorted Ninjago product elements, a construction site with a bonsai tree, a comic book store with brick-built sign, cashier desk, comic book stand with assorted elements including collectible Ninjago training cards, a crab restaurant with brick-built crab entrance sign and oven with ‘crab-grilling’ function, a cash-dispensing ATM, 15 bank note elements (ATM can dispense up to 13), and a movie poster display stand with 4 interchangeable movie poster elements. Place the uncooked crab element in the oven, turn the dial and open the oven to reveal a cooked crab element. Press the handle behind the ATM to dispense bank note elements.

Turn the dial to activate the sushi conveyor belt.

Weapons include Jay’s chain with spike and Shark Army Gunner’s fish flame. Recreate and role-play exciting scenes from The LEGO Ninjago Movie. Ninjago City measures over 24” (63cm) high, 12” (31cm) wide and 16” (42cm) deep. Traditional fishing boat measures over 1” (4cm) high, 3” (10cm) long and 1” (3cm) wide.

Really amazing set, isn’t it? Based on the size, the modular floors, and the LEGO Technic pins and pin-holes at the sides, it appears that the set is designed to be compatible with the LEGO Modular Buildings, and of course it can be enjoyed by itself as well. There are some very interesting and unusual building techniques throughout the set, and also nice re-colors, like the artist palette in green to simulate lilly pads. Also notice to reference to LEGO Galidor on the shirt of one of the minifigs. I thought the number one rule of Galidor is to never-ever talk about Galidor. LEGO making fun of their own sometimes-embarrassing history is always funny, and it’s delightful to find Easter eggs like this.

The #70620 LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City will be available starting on September 1st. It is possible that there will early access in mid-August for LEGO VIP members. If you want to check out more close-up pictures, there set is already listed under the LEGO Ninjago section of the Online LEGO Shop.

Also, most of the other sets related to The LEGO Ninjago Movie are now uploaded to the Brickset database, so you can take a look at all of them.

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial was an immediate blockbuster when it was first released in 1982, and is still considered one of the greatest science-fiction films of all time. Produced and directed by Steven Spielberg, the film captured the hearts and imagination of the generation growing up in the 1980s. Interestingly, even though E.T. includes everything from a spaceship to aliens to kid-friendly adventures, it is rare to see a LEGO creation based on the film. LEGO themselves only released one small set; the #71258 LEGO Dimensions E.T. Fun Pack, with E.T. and the iconic red telephone. 🙂

While LEGO never gave us a proper set related to the film, at least we got an E.T. minifigure in the LEGO Dimensions Fun Pack, which inspired LEGO fans Jon and Catherine Stead to pay proper respect to the iconic movie. The two of them built the final scene from the film, where Elliott – watched by his older brother Michael, younger sister Gertie, and family dog Harley – bid farewell to E.T. at the doors of the spaceship. E.T. leaves Elliott after pointing to his heart and saying “I’ll be right there…” – which, of course, made everyone in theatre tear up.

According to Jon and Catherine, this LEGO creation was built on a 68×68 stud base. The spaceship itself weights about 1.45kg, and stands 45cm high with a diameter of 30cm. They share that the landing feet were a big challenge to build because of the large mass of the spaceship. The trees stand about 38 cm tall. While E.T. himself is from the above-mentioned LEGO Dimensions Fun Pack, the rest of the minifigures were custom built from various LEGO minifig parts by Catherine.

Above are a few additional angles of the whole diorama. Notice that the spaceship uses both old light-gray and new light-gray LEGO elements, which is a combination normally seen in LEGO castle creations. The subtle variation in color gives the spaceship a worn look. And below is a picture of the whole gang; E.T., Elliott, Michael, Gertie, and Harvey. You can find additional images in Jon and Catherine’s flickr gallery.

I was really happy to see this LEGO creation, as E.T. is rare to see in LEGO. I highly recommend checking out the close-up pictures because there are so many wonderful little details to discover. And if you would like to get the #71258 LEGO Dimensions E.T. Fun Pack, check on Amazon, as it is already sold out directly from LEGO. Here is the link: LEGO DIMENSIONS E.T. ON AMAZON
