![]() ![]() Additional copies are found in 71746 Jungle Dragon and in a polybag, 30539 Lloyd’s Quad Bike. Island Lloyd appears three times in the Island sets. Although it would have been nice to see the only obviously female character appear in more of the sets, at least LEGO didn’t hide her away to appear in only the most expensive set. Both Lloyd and the Rumble keeper are available in other Island sets, but this is currently the only way to get Island Nya. This set comes with three minifigures, one of which is unique to this set. Even if they’re going to get run over pretty quickly. The Rumble Keeper minifigure doesn’t have much to do here, but including a baddie into the minifigure mix is a pretty smart move regardless. Again there are no obvious control surfaces, but when’s the last time you saw a steering wheel on a surfboard? The two integrated stud shooters don’t even feel tacked on, which is a testament to the great design work at play here. It works well with Nya’s water-based theming, even if the color scheme is very clearly tied to Lloyd. The removable surfboard-flier thing is a fun addition. The movable roll-cage works well, although I don’t know how much actual protection it’s going to provide if the bike goes sideways. There are no steering controls, but there is an in-dash control surface that makes it feel like there’s something for the driver to do. Sadly, like most Ninjago vehicles, it does require that he ditch his backpack mounted weapon to sit comfortably. Lloyd fits pretty well into the cockpit of his bike. It’s far enough back to let the roll bars still open easily. The surfboard is “docked” on the rear of the bike. In this case, that’s the suspension on the rear wheel, the removable surfboard, and the opening roll cage. The action features of the bike are called out in insets on the back. As usual, the front is more of a “play suggestion” image, with the back being more isolated product shots. The graphics on both the front and back are pretty clear with respect to the set contents. This set comes packaged in a small thumb-punch box. Providing TBB with products for review guarantees neither coverage nor positive reviews. The LEGO Group provided The Brothers Brick with an early copy of this set for review. Is there enough here to be of interest to both Ninjago fans and the wider LEGO audiences? Come along as we take a close look! This 183 piece set will be available March 1st from the LEGO Shop Online for US $19.99 | CAN $24.99 | UK £17.99.
