Designer's notes[]
"Even though the golden mech dont have a big role in the Ninjago Tv-show, the set holds a great spot in the ninjago portfolio. So being able to reimagine the old wesion in to a new form was great. the original one came as part of the temple of light playset but we wanted to give a bit more love to the mech and have it as a standalone set. The Original sketch model was created by Leonardo that is just one of the mech experts we have in the team, so it gave a good starting ground for this model.
The challenge in the creation of a golden mech is how much gold can we put in to the mech. In LEGO we have a high level of quality control, this does that not all elements are able to be used with the molded gold material. therefor the challenge in this set was to find elements that we can use in gold and get as much of a golden surface as possible. The original mech had a lot of white in it as well so that is used in this set as well."[2]
Trivia[]
- Lloyd, Kozu, and Stone Scout are exclusive to this set.
- Lloyd's Golden variant is similar to his appearance in 70666 The Golden Dragon but he includes a gold armor piece in this set.
- The Stone Scout minifigure in this set is similar to the version in 70669 Cole's Earth Driller but has a black quiver.
- In this set, Wu's bo staff is a sand-brown color that more closely matches its counterpart in the show where it's a bamboo staff. In all other sets, however, the staff is of the usual brown color, even in later sets.
- The Ice Elemental Blade is included in this set with an updated design using the new dragon hilt piece.
- This is also the only Legacy set to include any of the Elemental Blades.
- In the box art for this set, Lloyd's render on the side of the box has the armor pad on his left arm instead of his right arm like the actual figure does.
- Unusually for a mech of it's size, the Golden Mech has working knee joints.
