Designer's notes[]
Nick Vás: "During the course of their development, all of the Ninja vehicles were worked on by multiple designers both at LEGO and the film studio. In the end I think we managed to create the most varied and iconic Ninja vehicle lineup so far!
The Lightning Jet was completed by Aske Garling, with a fantastic spinning dynamo function! I worked on earlier sketch models, and versions of the Shark Army crab!"[2]
Trivia[]
- This is the first set to contain Ed and Edna, Jay's adoptive parents, who have been recurring characters since the series' first season. Despite being based on the Ninjago film and not the TV show, Ed and Edna bear strong resemblances to their appearances in the show.
- However, Edna is the only one to have an exclusive facial impression because Ed’s was reused by a grandfather of the set 10261 Roller Coaster.
- This set is similar to 9442 Jay's Storm Fighter, in that it contains a jet for Jay. In fact, Jay calls the Storm Glider the Lightning Jet in "Blue Lightning."
