Designer's notes[]
Nick Vás: "Together with Michael, we made 2 versions of the dual dragon heads - the ones that you see on this set, and a slightly larger version for the film's Bounty. It was a fun challenge to made an expressive face at two different scales, using LEGO elements that can't be scaled. The small heads use Golden bananas as eyebrows while the larger uses croissants. Leo insists that it was completely inappropriate to use these food items interchangeably.
The rest of this incredible model was entirely made by Christopher Stamp. He's an amazing guy, who was very very busy with the Ninjago Movie line."[2]
Trivia[]
- The rotating engines near the ship's cabin strongly resemble the engines from the original set, 9446 Destiny's Bounty.
- The set includes many small "easter eggs" from throughout the TV show, including the Underworld helmet (pilot episodes), an Anacondrai Cultist helmet (season 4), an Aeroblade (season 5), a Djinn Blade hilt (season 6), and Vermillion torso armor (season 7).
- In development, it included a Serpentine staff.[3] It is unknown why it was removed.
- It also includes a sticker of a framed photo featuring the Ninja (minus Nya) pre-season 8, which references a photo Wu has in "Wrong Place, Wrong Time."
- The set's description states that the letter included is to Misako, likely a reference to the letter a young Wu sent to Misako in order to win her love, as explored in "Spellbound."
- This is the fourth Ninjago set to be based on Destiny's Bounty, and of these sets, it is the largest version in terms of its piece count. It contains over five hundred more than the second-largest version, 71705 Destiny's Bounty.
- This the third Ninjago set to feature all original six ninja.
- This set has the same minifigures as 71705 Destiny's Bounty but different versions.
- This is also the first appearance of Kai in a Destiny's Bounty set.

- This is the only set from The LEGO Ninjago Movie to also appear in the show, as the ship was redesigned in the show to match its movie counterpart.
