It really feels like Lego is going all out this time. Like almost no expense was spared, whole ton of brand new pieces and new colors for old pieces, new prints, all the gold, just went all the way
Coming from someone who deslikes ninjago, I feel that Lego is finally making good minifigure designs. I love the purple dragon minion minifig heads, but the ninjas look generic as always, and the dragons still feel pretty cheap. I like it's striking pose, though. For a decade-long series, I hope Ninjago steps on the right direction, because no unlicensed lego theme deserves to live THAT LONG without having either interesting builds that either hint about the lore or worldbuild (dragons and mechs aren't interesting) or either having bad/uninteresting designs overall. The snake/samurai/skeleton beef that the ninjas had has gotten old by now, so a new villain that isn't human or snake looking is a nice refresher. In the end, I still think Ninjago is one of the worst lego themes, but it's my opinion after all, and I'm *actually very glad* to see Ninjago stepping into a decent direction. We had amazing, but short lived unlicensed lego themes, so I'm pretty bitter towards Ninjago, especially because it won the competition against, in my opinion, the best unlicensed lego theme, Chima.
It's so weird that to get the most accurate golden weapons, it's: 2011 Sword of Fire 2015 Shurikens of Ice 2019 Nunchucks of Lightning and 2022 Scythe of Quakes
The Ninjago Dragon team yet again delivers an incredible set. I love getting new set pictures and seeing what new dragon I’m gonna add to my collection. Not a fan of the price or the wings, but the shaping and building techniques are fantastic. I don’t have either of the previous Ultra Dragons, but I’ll definitely try to pick this up on a discount
@@XVitoloX Oh you bet. They are on discount pretty often if you know where to look. But you have to keep an eye open for it. Like keep checking multiple websites or a regular basis.
When I first looked at this set, I thought this was going to be another “skull sorcerer dragon” display set… oh god, this is awesome. I love that it’s so functional and posable while still looking amazing.
Something tells me the Oni Mask of Vengeance might be back. The design for Lloyd's Oni Mask seems very similar, and if I remember correctly, The Mask of Vengeance was the only one that easn't destroyed in Hunted. Either way, this set is really cool despite the high price
Thanks for the great review! While i definitely won’t be buying this set at the price it’s at, it seems very solid nonetheless, and those minifigures are AMAZING! :)
Great review, as always. I still think Lloyd's Legendary Dragon from the earlier wave this year is superior but this is pretty fantastic, too. Way overpriced, though.
@@B_R_U_C_3 mmh I feel like it should be about 20-30 euro's, like he said, but that can be fixed with waiting a bit for a sale or discount. I did the same with loyds legendary dragon managed to get it a 30% price drop from 60 euro's to 42.. Come to think of it I bought all my ninjago dragons at discount prices.. It's worth the wait, because VIP points often only nets you a 5% discount on the total of all purchases. So generally VIP points are reserved for the more exclusive sets. Ah, but i'm a bit of a bargain hunter.
They should hav given Oni Lloyd a golden biker helmet so then it looks like it’s part of his head like they did with Omega from Moto, same goes for Garmadon. Also the golden cracks on the brute and warriors is actually Vengestone cracking through
I just noticed that the same head layout for this dragon is the same as the legacy head placements, (and in the show, the 2012 head placements had an inaccurate layout.)
The problem with this set is that for such an overpriced set, you would think that it would be very high quality. But the ugly jaw connection and the very noticeable gap that can’t be covered on the hip make it a lot worse
wow, just wow. We can always rely on mind for early sets but honestly i havent been this hyped in ages. Thank you! video idea: so maybe you could compare this to the original/ legacy ultra dragon (kind of like your legacy vs original series)
I know I'm very late to this, but I have to say thank you so much for this review! I'm hoping to pick up this set on aftermarket soon. Also, my sister and I have a headcanon that this dragon is the fusion of the Golden Dragon Ninja, so I imagine the technic pieces and function you pointed out to be parts of Zane. Thanks again for your awesome work Mind!
Everything in this set is amazing, but honestly I'm not feeling so strong about the new sword of fire and the nunchucks of lightning the original ones made for the minifigures are better.
I'm in no way important to this community, but let me know if you agree on: They should have used a Transparent white to more accurately represent the ICE element for Zane. They should have utilized a Transparent Blue / Cyan for Jay, to accurately show the electricity in it's most powerful form.. which consistently has not been yellow. They should have utilized the Sword of fire from 2011 instead of the ugly piece they actually used.
I just realized that we saw a leak of season 16 kai and lloyd torso, last year! And am I the only one who's disappointed by Lloyd head, and it not being a new one?
Regarding your dragon theory, at first, I thought it was just Wu turning himself into a dragon (The white underbelly combined with the gold looks like it represents sensei Wu), but now that you point this out, Wu and the other four ninja may have combined to form an ultra dragon, and they will fight alongside Lloyd (This looks like a final battle). Also, the tile design on the chest looks a bit like Wu's beard and some features look like the dragon armor.
Whoa, it appears Lloyd's samurai helmet sans Oni mask will finally allow me to put goggles or a windscreen on a samurai! I hope that new part gets used in other themes!
As a person who's had this profile picture since 2018, I'm pretty sure that 17:00 (slightly before) those characters are Rs. it's a common symbolism in these sets and I believe it stands for the resistance. And yes, I do get whiplash every time I see them in the sets. This is what I get for picking a Ninjargon character as my profile picture tough.
I’m planning to get ALL of these sets I think those scythe of quakes and shurikens of ice are the MOST accurate we’ve gotten so far and yeah lloyd has scales on too so it looks like he is NOT messing around and is tapping in to his oni AND dragon side
Small ideas for golden weaponry modifications: For scythe of quakes, maybe using regular gold lightsaber handle, or monkey kid staff one but that might will look too long. Also, have you tried assembling new sword of fire with dragon handle? Does it look better with it?
I have a theory on the dragon, I think that in the season as the rumors suggest that the 4 main ninja are gonna turn into the dragon and I think they're gonna do what they did with nya in season 14 and make it that the ninja won't be able to turn back in to their human forms and then they'll introduce 4 new ninja and make Lloyd they're master, but then again this is just a theory...
Looking back at this theory of the dragon being all the ninja, if the term “dragon form” was leaked, this could be a very strong theory but obviously that’s not what happened in the show
This might be the first time in years I'm actually considering buying a Ninjago set. This is just a awesome big fucking dragon and I *want* it. Y'know, as soon as I can actually afford it, heh
As nice as the crystal king is like its amazing but the metallic gray over the color black only makes sense to me due to the vengestone warriors also being metallic gray but I think it just would've been better in all black Which I mean theory time now that I think about it the overloads body could be made from vengestone so either way still really cool
Which set do you want to see reviewed next?
The temple
Samurai X mech !

It really feels like Lego is going all out this time. Like almost no expense was spared, whole ton of brand new pieces and new colors for old pieces, new prints, all the gold, just went all the way
And new translucent pieces.
Must be because (it's speculated that) this might be Ninjago's last or second to last season
And 3 different, new variants of the main 4 ninja

Thanks for the great review! While i definitely won’t be buying this set at the price it’s at, it seems very solid nonetheless, and those minifigures are AMAZING! :)
He made a review to you (crystal king)
Hi overlord
Ig thats fair
If u see it on sale its something you should cop
Great review, as always. I still think Lloyd's Legendary Dragon from the earlier wave this year is superior but this is pretty fantastic, too. Way overpriced, though.
The gold prints and transparent probs make up most of the price (and exclusive mini figures)
I don’t think it’s overpriced 🤨 but I’m SOOOOO excited for this.

@@Scarletcroft agreed 100 percent. Ninjago sets are worth waiting to go on sale for.
Its 300 usd,300 euro
when you think about it the minifigures in this are basically a upgrade to the temple set
I can already see the price of oni Lloyd sky rocket because of how many people skip out on this set due to the price.
This set is amazing, from the figs to the dragon's build, really hope Lego makes more sets like this! (But not too expensive)
My guess for the dragon is when all the ninjas are in their dragon suits they can combine to create the dragon.
The fact that it’s almost the same as Lloyd’s legendary dragon really makes me happy for some reason…
The Overlord has gone through some plastic surgery. Luckily after almost 8 years he has recovered.
After Firstborne this is the coolest dragon ever!!
First, it was the stone Aspheera head
Now, it will be Golden Oni Lloyd...
This is what inflation does to a brother
This is an amazing looking set and I cant wait to get it
I can’t wait till this set
They should hav given Oni Lloyd a golden biker helmet so then it looks like it’s part of his head like they did with Omega from Moto, same goes for Garmadon. Also the golden cracks on the brute and warriors is actually Vengestone cracking through
The face print for the crystal king looks awesome!
I will definitely LOVE getting this set
This set looks like hell to build
Also the foot build was from the Lloyd’s legendary dragon set
And the B I G venom mech from the 2019 Spider-Man wave
Edit: also with the venom T-Rex from the 2021 wave
I think the yellow and orange on the vengestone warriors are a result of the vengestone they are made of
Read me that
Can I have that?
I feel happy that lego is starting to be fair with mini figures for the price and pieces
This review makes me want this set… whenever it goes on sale 😅
15:30 timestamp “sharks of ice” very nice
I feel the nunchucks should’ve been open at the top and have the chain there. Personally I’d like to see the chain built in and translucent blue
man 1 more vengestone soldier would’ve made the thumbnail perfect
I sort of have a feeling that the logo on the Ninja’s mask could be the logo of a possible alliance that appears in the show
The R stands for:
The Resistance
So it’s like the season Hunted we’re they resist Garmadon’s rule
I have missed the last two ultra dragons I can’t miss out again
I just noticed that the same head layout for this dragon is the same as the legacy head placements, (and in the show, the 2012 head placements had an inaccurate layout.)
The problem with this set is that for such an overpriced set, you would think that it would be very high quality. But the ugly jaw connection and the very noticeable gap that can’t be covered on the hip make it a lot worse
I have the feeling that in this season Lloyd is gonna get his golden power back
the new samurai helmet mold would have been useful in making a more accurate ice emperor back in the day.
YES finally, its the overlord under the mask, he even has that flame print, that all the overlords have!
For Oni Lloyd, you could use the Lloyd head from the 70666 set from 2019! Love your videos! 🙂🙂
Don't care about the price, ima get this thing day 1 and nothing can stop me!
Looks dope
FLIPPING THE OLD SHURIKENS OVER THE TOP OF ZANE'S HANDS?! YOU ARE INSANE INSANE INSANE
Can you please do the Temple of the crystal King next that is my favourite set of this wave of Ninjago
the crystle king is comfermed to be the overlord
i suck at spelling lol
I'd would have been cool if the chains for the nunchucks was transblue
Could you please do kais golden dragon raider next? Would appreciate! Also great viedeo👍
I wonder if they’ll lower the price if these sell terribly…
wow, just wow. We can always rely on mind for early sets but honestly i havent been this hyped in ages. Thank you!
video idea: so maybe you could compare this to the original/ legacy ultra dragon (kind of like your legacy vs original series)
Finally, I'm so glad to see this!
Thank you! :)
8:45 Jay’s cyber dragon had a similar feature but it managed to hide it a lot better

Everything in this set is amazing, but honestly I'm not feeling so strong about the new sword of fire and the nunchucks of lightning the original ones made for the minifigures are better.
Finally an actual good head mold for the dragons

HOLY THAT LOOKS SICK
Please do zanes golden jet please I want to see the skull sorcerer s face in this new set

On the gold dragon they should have added small transparent pieces of the elements all around
Great vid! Also can you do the temple next?
Thats so cool
This Dragon 🐉 is so sick and awesome
Letsssss gooooooooo !!!! Thank you soooo much
Ashnflash was saying that this dragon is very fragile and unsturdy. Would you agree with that?
10:49 I feel this would fit the mech dragon from 2014 very well

Tiny bits of yellow on enemy's is probably vengstone not golden power
