Trivia[]
- The book states that Chen, back when he was training Garmadon and Clouse, "wanted to defeat Master Wu and for evil to rule all." In "Spellbound," however, his younger self is depicted as someone who causes conflict for fun but does not have a specific vendetta against Wu or a plan for evil to rule all.
- The books states the dragon from 70602 Jay's Elemental Dragon is the Hydroelectric Dragon rather than the Elemental Lightning Dragon.
- The pages for the Morro's dragon and Master Wu's dragon are subtitled "Possessed Elemental Wind Dragon" and "Elemental Creation Dragon" respectively.
- The former contradicts Tommy Andreasen's statement that Morro's dragon was a corrupted version of the Energy Dragon,[1] which would later be supported by the Character Encyclopedia New Edition.
- Though the book covers information up to Skybound, the endpapers picture the ninja in their Honor robes, which would not appear until the following wave for "Day of the Departed."
- This was also the first product to feature Jay's new face print.
- The image on the OverBorg page has an image of Cyrus Borg identical to the image used on a former version of his page.
- The Starfarer comic piece would later appear in 70620 Ninjago City and 71799 Ninjago City Markets.
Errors[]
- In the set gallery, 70505 Temple of Light is given 2504 Spinjitzu Dojo's image.
- On Lasha's page, "headpiece" is misspelled as "headpiee".
- On the page for Cole ZX, it shows the Tread Assault though the captions refer to the Ultra Sonic Raider.
- On Airjitzu Zane's page it states he only appears in 70742 Airjitzu Zane Flyer, despite him also appearing in 70730 Chain Cycle Ambush.
- On Skybound Jay's page it lists his dislike as "Making a wish!", despite Jay being the only ninja to make wishes for personal gain and being the ninja who had to use his final wish to defeat Nadakhan. Though this could possibly imply that Jay had regretted making the first selfish wish and only used his last one because it was needed to beat Nadakhan.
