Designer's notes[]
"I've been graced with the title of a 'castle builder' before, at least within the fan community. So being able to work on this latest Ninjago wave – and especially on the big bad dungeon – was close to my heart: I simply love the genre, and getting to contribute to the legacy was definitely special!
Dimitris Stamatis had created an awesome and ambitious sketch model that I got tasked to take over and turn into what you can see on the final box. He had raised the bar high – and while I cursed him regularly throughout the development of this set, I am glad he did.
I spent a great amount of time on the mechanism, as turning the pole on the left activates various functions throughout the set, and making sure the build could be broken down across 10 bags was a nice puzzle to solve. It was imperative for the board game aspect that it worked well, and I'm quite thrilled how much life it brings to it.
Something that was important to me was to make the rocks feel as natural as possible and break out of the square grid we are so used to. I experimented with different ways of doing so and am really happy with the angled bridge in the front and the slanted walkway leading to a platform on the right.
Finally I garnished it with as many details as I managed to squeeze in: There's lunch being prepared over a fire, gems hidden away for looting and as a fan of D&D I made sure to include something for each and every class.
Oh, and that portrait in the back? Well, guess I'm immortalised in a LEGO set now... Djordje is to blame for that one, who knew I was secretly a necromancer!
