My FIRST thought when I saw this set for $70 was "And Grievous's fighter was $80?!"

[@mariosbrother6845]

love how grievous' starfighter has become the lego community's punching bag

[@dubiousfreesamples]

as it deserves to be

[@jmaster2855]

LEGO keeps doing our boy dirty

[@thecaptainslog9581]

Yeah, has everyone forgotten that the incomplete AT-ST is just ten bucks less?

[@anm10wolvorinenotapanther32]

because whoever decided that it should be 80 dollars is an absolute lunatic

[@daxor483]

It deserve that fate, people can just let that thing pass without shame. We need to remember to avoid further Scams (because for that price it is a scam)

[@tobyntoby]

The playability of the Ninjago series has always been great. This set is no exception.

[@outsider238]

Excellent point about the Star Wars sets pricing versus sets like these. You're spot on about what you get with the sets just because they CAN charge more for those Star Wars sets even though you're not getting what you pay for.

[@strangehermitman7898]

I think the worst part is the playability, not much you can do with the starfighter set besides fly it and shoot some stud shooters.

[@spooderman6312]

Catamarans: never appear in the same scene Lego: lego set time

[@thegreatskinkpriest8104]

Ninjago has always been one of the coolest, most interesting themes and to see just how much it’s developed is crazy.

[@twinceptionproductions6083]

As a sailor, it’s really cool to see Lego making catamarans, especially in a mainstream theme like Ninjago. And you gotta love the value of this set!

[@johnnations5932]

Oh, maybe it's a Dog-a-Maran? Haha!? No? Ok I'll show myself out. Great work Jang. BTW "Kai" is also the Norwegian word for "quay" (dock). So Kai can pull up to the Kai🤣

[@Gtrystan55]

I love that you always do your research and describe things with their technical or proper terms, its always appreciated Jang!

[@Greenflame_24]

The fact that LEGO made Grievous' fighter $80 shocked 🤣... it looked to my like a $35-$40 set... as far as your review however, I don't think I disagree on any of the points, very well done!

[@pwgilbert80]

The Islanders’ boat reminds me a bit of Rock Raiders, in a very good way.

[@whysitthat3515]

kinda random, but this is my favorite Jangbricks background music, lol. It brings such good vibes and encompasses the channel so well to me

[@motorizedmisfit-artist8535]

Pink cone. N’uff said.

[@LazyTurtle921]

Imagine if they made the islanders actually clear purple, like they were in the Island series, then they would be 1 million times better, cause clear minifigures are amazing

[@johnnations5932]

I love this idea. I would love for Lego to bring us more clear Mini-Figures 🤗

[@Insane_IK]

The islander boat looks like a flyer, and it has detachable side vehicles, yep defiantly a flyer.

[@thedetective6500]

So glad to see you reviewing this set!

[@Angry_Squirrel555]

Lol! Thank you being literally the only LEGO KZbin reviewer to point out Godzilla! 👍 Always the greatest vids! I haven’t caught any of the new shows yet, but I’m looking forward to watching them with my daughter as always. She hates LEGO Friends but absolutely loves Nya and Zane. You take your wins where you can.

[@apprenricebrickoflegend]

I'm loving the minifigure designs this time around!

[@Manomet84]

Great review Jang! When I first saw this set I wasn't entirely sold on it, but now I'm thinking about picking it up at some point...

[@tomjames9681]

Same as usual for ninjago, AKA the best theme.

[@benthebookboy1068]

best for prices lol. although i do like the theme a lot. but i like star wars more personally. but ninjago has better prices soooooo. . . .

[@Krypticsoul78]

This set is really underrated

[@inspirationplayz3743]

Yeah Because It Has No Exclusive Minifigures And The Katana V11 Was Better Than Kais Catamaran

[@waterblazek2288]

It's the only set with no exclusive figure this wave. Chopper comes with Nya Dragon comes with Poulerick Island comes with Cole I wish this set came with Twitchy

[@michaciemniewski9791]

@@inspirationplayz3743 luckly some of us can get if for the build itself not exclusiveness of the components. It is so... Adult way of thinking. I guess that might me the reason why LEGO decided to move exclusive female minifigures from the most expensive sets to medium/small sets or to tweak it in general.

[@michaciemniewski9791]

@@waterblazek2288 on the other hand there are 3 Islanders and those are a reason so many people get those sets.

[@commandercarter6]

This set is pretty cool.

[@jacksonbrickmedia939]

I would usually go for the playset as my favorite of the wave but these are pretty epic

[@DueNorthBricks]

I like the fact they have X2 equally good size builds for both sizes. This way you can buy one set and have great battles!

[@vincentwiddershoven2122]

*** In a dark voice *** Does Kay's vericle also comes in black or dark, dark grey? Tell him that Batman wants to know... 😁

[@lbricks7631]

5:03 Yes that is a Jay-l cell. But your pun was not intended so all is good.

[@SammyWatsit]

But what about the droid attack on the wookie catamaran

[@KwakyWacky]

I get major ultra sonic raider vibes from the islander’s boat. Just the shaping of it and stuff

[@LazyTurtle921]

I really wish that this set had better minifigures, cause you can get all of the Ninja and enemies by getting the cheaper sets, meaning that the only reason to get it is the vehicles, which are fantastic

[@anm10wolvorinenotapanther32]

LEGO pricing Ninjago sets: "Sure, 10 dollars per ~115 pieces because you're awesome!" LEGO pricing Star Wars sets: "200 pieces for 80 dollars because we added a minifigure with exclusive prints on it!"

[@zrhavispot3968]

Jang i'm one of your biggest fans... before i buy a lego set... i watch your review to check whats the best set 😂💪🏻❤️

[@lukastojanovic6794]

The fact that he said "It's hot" for the Kai vehicle,makes this video better!😆

[@WZPlasticBling]

catamaran definition: a group-sized jet ski with a mast.

[@yoavbenclaudia3073]

It looks like an Old Republic era star fighter, and I love it!

[@Loremastrful]

Kai's craft reminds me of an old video game Hydro Thunder. One boat was a saucer looking design that split like that in Turbo mode. The enemy craft looks like they went a little further. Like the designers could have done snapping shark jaw but decided to go further and do the teeth. Well if we can't have a Pirates of Dark Water theme we can at least pretend with this one.

[@jeanbarque9918]

The shape of the red one reminds me (surely more than inspiration..) to Eldar falcon in warhammer 40k.. btw the lizard emblem is more than inspired by lizardmen..

[@Vadahann]

I’m no ninjago fan but I must say that islanders boat and those minifigs looks great and that color scheme makes them really pop. In comparison, the Kai’s boat looks pretty plain despise it being a good build. And they should have made the same thing with that sail that they did with the Lloyd’s chopper bike, quite a big miss there!

[@Tiishen]

Hey Jang I remember you mentioned an issue with the golden machete pieces not "sticking" to other pieces very well in one of these recent Ninjago reviews So just curious: Is that still the case with this one and that island?

[@sqrabbit1]

In the show the islanders are trans purple/lavender. Would be cool to have them all more accurate to the show, but I’m sure they would be more expensive having a full transparent or translucent figure.

[@kibavee3295]

Ninjago sets are always fun to get, but it kind of seems to me like Lego is using the Ninjago theme as a vehicle for ideas of potential other themes that might not have been as well recieved on their own, but could have been if they weren't competing against Ninjago. I feel like the Prime Empire stuff would have been a cool full standalone theme itself, the sort of steampunk flying pirates, and these islander guys (which I believe you said were not villians, I dont really follow the show) would make a cool standalone theme as well. I know from a business standpoint it makes sense to the longevity of the theme to constantly change its aesthetics, and to introduce expiremental things within an already established mega theme.

[@thebricktator4977]

Imo the islanders minifigs are the best part of the theme

[@chaddill8931]

Kai’s boat looks like something out of Hydro Thunder especially with the transformation

[@LEGENDCITYest1963]

Forget General Grievous's Starfighter.....I'm going to add these to my col-lect-ion. HahAha

[@michaciemniewski9791]

Islanders' Ninjago is amazing.

[@GoingHamAllTheWay]

Wow title is on point, without the sail it’s a killer speeder(or more modded a Spaceship👍👍) bad guys are okay but to make it look a lil better having two sails that one and a tail one(lil smaller obviously)

[@Brickfilmer125]

While it is absurd that the Master of Fire now has two water vehicles, Kai's catamaran is certainly refreshing in design.

[@GoddamnAnge]

Loving the Waterworld vibes

[@koloth5139]

They might be able to spread out the licensing fees however they want. But the fact is they know people will pay for Star Wars stuff no matter how expensive they make it. Less so for their non-licensed sets. There is unquestionably a tax on licensed sets. But it is there because fans will pay it. Thankfully all my most favorite sets are unlicensed themes.

[@louisbogli1804]

Speaking of high priced Star Wars sets, the Knights of Ren shuttle almost killed me the last time I was in a toy store : the price was 90CHF, so ~ 70$. 🤮

[@strawberry8153]

Kai's watercraft turned into a star wars ship 😂

[@Jelus1]

I know they're supposed to be aquatic vehicles.. But imma still swoosh!

[@proty3711]

Pink cone the 🤴🏻

[@mintakamothkind]

Tough choice between the Keeper's Village and this set for me. I really like the catamaran builds, but the village is cheaper and has the exclusive Cole. I really just want Chief Mammatus honestly.

[@mbphilipblack8993]

I can see the appeal of the set but I just cant get behind it, a unique vehicle for nNnjago but I feel my money will be spent better on the keepers village for around £20 cheaper, I could also put that towards the jungle chopper bike getting 2 out of the 3 sets I want from this wave.

[@Lordodragonss]

I like this set, but I WISH the Boat was Nya themed. Why? It's another Kai boat... The playfeatures are also quite lame for size of the set. Woah the Kai boat expands! And? The expansion should at least allow more figs to stand or uncover something...

[@ihazapencil7712]

I remember a while ago in a difrent vid he was saying how he didint like how the scroll of forbidden spinjitzo the staff had blue on the box but in the set they were all just grey I have 2 of them and one of them the whole thing is tinted blue

[@eunosmedia90]

Not a huge fan of ninjago but i would buy these for the coolness of the boat things

[@redacted8567]

Ah yes my favorite ninjago season, in which the ninja attack native islanders

[@olgalidiajimenez6308]

[@jackod5052]

I like this set because we never get a villian vehicle , we get dragons alot but not vehicles

[@davidnguyen6823]

I could see myself buying the set for Kais catamaran, and do a custom space ship with it

[@11ben1000]

The middle part of the large catamaran literally looks like a shark!

[@ids5621]

Very rock raiders color scheme

[@epleprekahn4238]

now to make kai's boat again into a snub fighter.

Hi jang

[@kopaka94]

I wish I could buy only the islander trimaran with the islander minifigs for like 30 or 35.. That Kai's speedboat feels like annoying side build.

I like this set but they should have included a twitchy tim or just a difrent exclusieve minifigure because now its kinda uselles to get it u can get al those figures in cheaper sets

[@luisemoralesfalcon4716]

That would be SW without the Disney tax.

[@鈴木裕幸-c2m]

great set just ordered it for £30 but for gods sake can they stop using bloody stickers i hate them so much

[@rascallymanx8947]

Not a bad set, but seems pointless when you can get the other 3 in the line and have all the ninja and all the important villain characters

Looks like a pretty awesome and fun set. This may be the one modern non-Legacy Ninjago set I’ll get. But dang, they’re still using that stupid movie hair for Kai? I literally can’t take him seriously with that hair. He’s become irreparably a parody of himself.

[@BionicleFactory]

Yeah, I wish they would make the shorter hair that he has in the show. Tommy Anderaesen even said that they reduced Kai's hair in the show because it looked too ridiculous
