in LEGO Ninjago

Pictures of the 2013 LEGO Ninjago sets have been finally revealed, so I thought to share them with you here. I have to say that in my opinion they look amazing! Like, the best Ninjago sets ever! I’m not sure of the exact release date of the 2013 Ninjago sets, but my guess is sometime in January. So let’s look at the upcoming sets one by one. Enjoy! 😛

➡ #70500 LEGO NINJAGO KAI’S FIRE ROBOT:To get the four legendary blades of Fire, Lightning, Ice and Earth, the ninja must awaken the Golden Robot! Lord Garmadon sends a scouting party, and is trying to take the Fire-blade from Kai, but Kai is expecting him! You can create the battle between the crossbow-scout and Kai’s Fire Robot. Begin the battle for the Fire Blade! Minifigures included: Kai and Waruwaru samurai scout.

This set looks cool, although it is a lot smaller than I thought it would be. If I wasn’t a Kai fan, I probably wouldn’t buy it, but since I am, of course I will! Below is a detailed picture of the set with Kai’s awesome mech.

➡#70501 LEGO NINJAGO SAMURAI BIKE: Lord Garmadon’s soldier minions are aimed at Jay’s Lightning Blade! If the blade is stolen, he will not be able to awaken the Golden Robot. Gone will be the means to stop Lord Garmadon! The enemy is equipped with a high-speed missile attack. Jay wonders if it is possible to escape with a rocket-pack! Minifigures included: Jay and Waruwaru samurai warrior.

This set is quite remarkable! I love the treads on the bike and the minifigs! Jay’s suit is very nice and the samurai is awesome! I don’t want this set as much as some of the others, but if you are a Jay fan, you will probably like it!

➡ #70502 LEGO NINJAGO COLE’S POWER DRILL: Waruwaru Samurai minions have claimed Cole’s Earth Blade. In this state, he will not be able to awaken the Golden Robot! Cole rides a super tough Power Drill to take the blade back! Try spinning the drill to start the engine! The Power Drill will plow through any obstacle. Take back the blade before it is too late! Minifigures included: Cole and Waruwaru samurai swordsman.

Nice set, do you agree? It reminds me of one of the old LEGO Power Miner sets with that giant drill at the front.

➡ #70504 LEGO NINJAGO GARMATRON: The strongest warriors of Lord Garmadon, the Kozu General, have stolen the Ice-blade. He is trying to ride away in the Garmatron straight to the world of darkness. Zane is following the Kozu General in his ice-speeder! Successfully dodge the Garmatron’s secret missiles and take the blade back! Minifigures included: Zane, four-armed Kozu General, Waruwaru samurai swordsman.

Check out that four-armed Stone Warrior! Isn’t he awesome?! I also love the front and back treads on the Garmatron, and the giant mouth looking thing at the front! This set is at the top of my wanted list, but make sure you keep reading because I saved the best for last! 🙄

➡ #70503 LEGO NINJAGO GOLDEN DRAGON: In order to confront the soldiers of Lord Gamadon, Golden Ninja Lloyd calls upon the Golden Dragon. Lloyd mounts the Golden Dragon in preparation for the battle! Bombard the enemy with huge wingbeats! Fire the dragon sphere! The power of the Golden Dragon returns the minions of Lord Garmadon to the world of darkness! Minifigures included: Golden Ninja Lloyd, Waruwaru samurai scout, Waruwaru samurai warrior.

The Golden Dragon is awesome! Also the Golden Ninja. There is still some discussion if the Golden Ninja is indeed Lloyd, but I’m pretty sure it is Lloyd as he is the ninja destined to defeat the Dark Lord, and besides, if you look closer you will see green in his golden suit. 😉

➡ #70505 LEGO NINJAGO TEMPLE OF LIGHT: The epic final battle has begun in the land of Ninjago! Golden Ninja Lloyd and Sensei Wu enter deep into the Temple of Light! Stealthily sneaking in front of Lord Garmadon and his minions, they place the four blades Fire, Lightning, Ice, and Earth to awaken the Golden Robot! Minifigures included: Golden Ninja Lloyd, Lord Garmadon, Sensei Wu, Waruwaru samurai scout, Waruwaru samurai warrior.

Of course this set is at the top of my wanted-list, and I bet yours too! This is the epic final battle between good and evil! Who will win?

Also, here is another close-up picture of some of the main characters, including the Golden Ninja (see the green in his uniform?), Zane in his new kimono-suit, a stone warrior, and a stone-army leader, a.k.a. Kozu General.

So what do you think? Which one of the 2013 LEGO Ninjago sets do you like the most? And who do you think the Golden Ninja is? And how do you like the other characters? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below! 🙂

LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pictures!

in Other LEGO Sets & Themes

The LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme is no longer just a rumor (see: 2013 LEGO: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), but in fact a reality, so I thought to give you a little bit of update on what to expect. Below you will find the official press-release from LEGO, as well as pictures of upcoming TMNT sets and minifigs. Enjoy! 😛

The LEGO Group, makers of the world’s leading construction toys, and Nickelodeon, one of the world’s leading entertainment brands for kids, announced today an expansion of their global partnership to develop construction toys inspired by the recently launched CG-animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles television series. The collection is slated to launch in North America and the UK in January 2013 and will roll out in global markets later in the year. The companies have a long-standing relationship and first partnered together in 2006 to create LEGO SpongeBob Squarepants. Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles premiered on Sept. 29 and was an instant hit, drawing almost 12 million viewers during its premiere weekend.

LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brings the action-packed adventures of Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael and Leonardo to life in LEGO form with a series of vehicles, renowned scenes and iconic LEGO minifigures. One playset and select minifigures from the forthcoming line will be unveiled at the LEGO booth #1538 at New York Comic-Con at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center from October 11-14.

“We are thrilled to partner again with Nickelodeon to help bring Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to a new generation of kids”, said Jill Wilfert, vice president, licensing and entertainment for The LEGO Group. “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles seamlessly combines action and comedy and Nickelodeon is brilliantly balancing what was great about the original property while still making it feel fresh. No doubt fans and builders alike will love the LEGO products our team has created.”

“Following the triumphant return to TV of Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles we’re very excited to expand our connection with our audience and fans through stellar creative play with one of the most respected and admired brands in the world: LEGO”, said Manuel Torres, Senior Vice President Global Toys and Electronics for Nickelodeon. “LEGO’s system of play combined with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle power will lend itself to hours and hours of creativity and fun for kids and families around the globe.”

The series begins as the turtles emerge from their hidden lair in the sewers for the very first time, ready to confront the wondrous and hostile world of New York City and face enemies more dangerous and pizza more delicious than anything they could have imagined. Funnier and with more ninjutsu than ever before, the show will explore the companionship of four teenage brothers learning to rely on themselves and one another as they unravel the mystery of their existence and grow to become the heroes in a half-shell that they are destined to be. The premiere episode was executive produced by Ciro Nieli, Joshua Sternin & J.R. Ventimilia and Peter Hastings.

The 26-episode, half-hour action-comedy series breathes new life into the wildly popular band of reptile brothers played by Jason Biggs (American Pie) as “Leonardo”, Rob Paulsen (Planet Sheen) as “Donatello” (Paulsen also voiced the original “Raphael” from 1987-1996 in the very first TMNT series), Greg Cipes (Teen Titans) as “Michelangelo” and Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings) as “Raphael”. The series airs regularly on Saturdays at 11:00 a.m. (ET/PT).

Considered one of the most popular kids’ television programs of the 1980s, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a classic, global property created in 1984 by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. It first debuted as a successful comic book series and then became a hit animated TV show, a live-action television series and later spawned four blockbuster theatrical releases. The property also has translated into a significant consumer products business–with DVDs, video games, toys and more–that has generated billions of dollars at retail.

In the press-release above you can see pictures of two of the upcoming LEGO TMNT sets; #39102 LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Stealth Shell in Pursuit and #39103 LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Turtle Lair Attack. The third set that has been revealed so far is the #79104 LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – The Shellraiser Street Chase. I have to say that the Shellraiser is dreadfully ugly. Although the turtles’ main vehicle is definitely colorful in the movie, it is also cool and mean. LEGO could have done a much better job capturing the overall look of this beast. 😯

The launch of LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (a.k.a. LEGO TMNT) is exciting news for fans of the original series, and due to the re-launch it should be popular with today’s young generation too. We shall see. Personally don’t care so much for the sets, but I do want the turtles! What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comment section below! 🙄
