Designer's notes[]
Designed as an aircraft carrier ... that CAN FLY!! There was some Tank Girl, space Orks inspiration in the process. I really liked the idea of Lloyd's oversized fly/jet pack as a hint to Exo force, and a specific set that was a blue mech with a giant jetpack.[2]
Trivia[]
- Jay's pirate Minifigure is exclusive to this set, and he has a double-sided face with the other side being happier than Jay's normal face print.
- The Djinn Blade with Wu in it is exclusive to this set.
- Oddly, this set comes with hairpieces for Jay and Lloyd, but a mask for Kai.
- Lloyd is wearing armor and is piloting a large jet that attaches to said armor, which is something he never does in the show.
