Defend the awesome Ninjago Temple against OverLord's attacks!
The huge evil OverLord has powered up and is threatening to take over New Ninjago City. Help the Ninjas to defend the Ninjago temple using its awesome array of hidden features. Plan your strategy in the control room and activate the catapult stairs to send intruding Nindroids flying. Evade laser-cannon fire from OverLord and retaliate by triggering the tower’s dual catapult and hidden disc shooter. Zoom down the zip line from the roof with Lloyd, spin the rotating walls to reveal hidden weapons, and glide into battle with Jay. Outsmart those Nindroid invaders and lock them up in the prison!

Trivia[]
- This is the only set to include some of the ninja (Lloyd and Zane) in their Stone Armor suits. Kai, Jay, and Cole's suits would be released in smaller sets over the next two years.
- This was the last Ninjago set to include Zane's original blond crewcut hairpiece. His hair would be featured again two years after this set's release, when 70591 Kryptarium Prison Breakout and 70588 Titanium Ninja Tumbler were released, although the piece was in silver.
- This is also the last set to include Zane's original face since the pilot episodes.
- Lloyd and Zane's Stone Armor suits, Nya's Techno suit, and the Golden Master are exclusive to this set.
- Though unlike the other two, Lloyd's stone armor minifigure can be completely recreated using parts from other sets and gear, such as his torso which has also been released Brickmaster Ninjago: Build Your Own Adventure.
- In the set, Jay has his Techno suit with silver shoulder-pads instead of the Stone armor suit that Zane and Lloyd have. Jay's Stone armor suit would later be released with the Character Encyclopedia Updated and Expanded.
- In this set, Zane comes with a shield, possibly his elemental shield.
