Treat your little ninja with this action-packed LEGO® NINJAGO® playset. This hero toy battle set lets imaginative children aged 4 and up learn how to build as they play out exciting car chase stories from season 3 of the NINJAGO Dragons Rising TV show. This LEGO set comes with 2 ninja car toys – a ninja car with moving wheels and 2 shooters with 4 darts, and the villains’ toy car – so kids can place a minifigure character behind the wheel of each one and get racing! There are also 3 NINJAGO minifigures: ninja warriors Rogue and Nya armed with golden katana sword accessories and the evil Drix with a translucent reveal blade accessory.
The packaging captures the excitement of the car duel! The front of the box shows Drix escaping on his black and red car to the left, while being chased by Nya while swinging her katana and by Rogue on his own blue car on the right. The vehicles are racing on a rocky, dusty brown terrain. On the background, we can see a mountain range in tones of blue and purple. The top left corner is decorated with the iconic red LEGO logo. To its right, we have the “NINJAGO Dragons Rising” title. On the top right corner, we see the right half of Sora’s head, representing our ninja heroes, and the left half of a purple dragon with a golden horn. The bottom left corner has the “4+” icon, while on the bottom right corner we see the images of the minifigures in the set. From left to right, we have Rogue, Nya, and Drix. The left of the box has the iconic red LEGO logo, the set number, and an image of Nya in an attacking position with her katana on top of an electric blue background. The back of the box shows the contents of the set. On the top, we have the 3 minifigures (Rogue, Nya, and Drix) with their weapons to the right (2 katanas and 1 sword). On the bottom, we have Rogue’s car and to its right, Drix’s car. On the right side, we see Rogue’s car being pushed forward and a “Learn to build” legend, emphasizing this is a good set for beginner builders. The top left corner has the iconic red LEGO logo and the set number. All of this is on top of a red background. The right side of the box has a dragon’s claw tearing the red background, showing an electric blue background. The top of the box has the iconic red LEGO logo, the set number, and the set’s name in different languages. Moreover, we have an image of the 3 minifigures in the set dueling with their weapons. To the right, there is an image of Rogue on a 1:1 scale. The bottom side is a tidy strip that contains the barcode as well as a few technical bits: the set number, the place of manufacture, copyright and trademark notices.
The build consists of 111 pieces in total, 3 minifigures, and is recommended for ages 4+. Once finished, you will have 2 awesome vehicles. The set consists of 2 bags and 2 instruction booklets.
