Designer's notes[]
"Without a doubt, my favorite set I have worked on so far. Inspired by tokusatsu and anime alike, this set was something I wanted to do for Ninjago for a very long time.
I like to think of this set as a playtheme in a box. It has 1 mech, 3 vehicles and 1 villain mech. I took a lot of the learnings I got from designing Voltron and expanded on them in this set. By limiting the amount of technic and making as many of the connections system connections, I kept the wiggling and bending to a minimum while also making it relatively easy and fun to build.
For this set, I was finally given the element frame to create the piece I have been wanting since I worked on Zane's Titan Mech in 2019. https://brickset.com/parts/6365679/flex-joint-female-w-dia-4-85-snap The new hip and shoulder joint that marries the AT-AT ratchet with 2 Galidor ratchets to create a 2 axis joint capable of carrying larger models. This piece was originally pitched by Janko Grujic (https://brickset.com/sets/designer-Janko-Grujic), and I had asked for it ever since he did.
It also uses all the new pieces we made for SCCBS. It does this both in conventional ways (cockpit and limbs) and novel ways (shell in the thighs of the Kai mech). Fully showcasing the overall versatility of the new suite of elements.
I'm so happy that it is doing well and many kids have managed to get their hands on this toy. It is my pride and joy."[2]
Trivia[]
- The included Wu Bot is unique, featuring two shooters on it's head, instead of a conical hat.
- The included Dojo Zane is also unique to this set, as it is the only one to include his armor.
- The mech is very similar to the concept of Megazords from Power Rangers and Giant Robos from Super Sentai, as instead of a singular mech, multiple vehicles combine to make a larger mech.
- Despite this, this is not Lego's first foray into official combining robots: the first was the LEGO Ideas Voltron set.
- On Cole's car and Jay's jet are the stickers depicting Zane's power source, although this is probably not intentional.
- The set animation depicts the Wu Bot as an enemy of the ninja. This is the second time Wu Bots have been erroneously painted as villains, the first being the set description for 71756 Hydro Bounty.
- This is the only Core set not to include a hairpiece for any of the ninja.
- This is the largest Ninjago mech set of all time.
