I don’t think it’s that bad I got it and I really like it it has many nice details but yeah that’s just my opinion

[@Songal18]

The figures definitely stand out in the set. As for the Ice Emperor, I think wat they did was creative, because if they gave him the Samurai face mask then it'd be easy to figure out the Ice Emperor's true identity.

Yeah and they wanna add suspense

it looks cool but its pretty empty and lacking

Ya kinda true

[@PossumTheSilly]

Agreed

[@randompianomusic5536]

I really wish Lego brings back villain vehicles. The car of the red visor would be a good set. For season 13 based on the theme there couldn’t be any vehicles and the same thing is with season 11. Only the bad guys master like Aspheera, Unagami, Skull Sorcerer, etc. get a vehicle/animal so they don’t have to walk. Really wish they would bring them back.😢

[@kingghidorah102]

Did you mean a vehicles for footsoldiers like the Fangpire Truck, Warrior Bike, Chain Bike, SkyShark, and Vermillion Invader?

[@GunnarTobus]

@@kingghidorah102 I think that’s what they meant. Like how the S.O.G. had like 7 bikes in all the sets combined.

Are you kidding me this is one of my favourite big ninjago sets of all time right behind the destinys bounty and the battle for ninjago city Ps of those three i already have both the destinys bounty and the castle of the forsaken emperor im hoping to get the battle for ninjago city this December

[@toast_0h]

ninjago sets have a problem where most waves, the small builds are better then the giant build

[@johanboersma6195]

Yes

[@j.l_collects8977]

Luckely season 13 didn't have that flaw

[@instantmovedandisrestartin6137]

I don't think so, the dungeons is really good and the monastery too, I think the sets that share their pieces with a dragon or a vehicule suffers from it more

[@davidrivera6465]

Lloyds titan mech was amazing and land bounty

[@j.l_collects8977]

@@davidrivera6465 yeah but i do think that for instace cole's moterbike was beter than kai's veichel

[@Brickfilmer125]

Yeah, this set focuses too much on Boreal when it was mainly meant to be a playset. Fortunately, they fixed that confliction of having the bad guy dragon and castle in the same set by splitting the two builds up for MotM.

[@76catlover]

Tbh I'd get it for Akita, the dragon, and the Ice Emperor. The castle, to me, doesn't look bad. I just wish it had some more depth to it and actual play and posing area

[@ripon1947]

you can get the entire Ice Emperor minifigure off bricks and pieces btw

[@ducpham1478]

Playing mechanism would be traded off for the aesthetic, especially in the case of this set. But overall not a bad set. It's the most expensive set I've spent on this year and I'm not regretting at all.

[@deathdefying1472]

This set isn’t bad but the real draw for the set are those minifigures

[@theexplodingDarkrai]

Yeeessss

[@spyalwaysreviews5062]

I know

[@ducpham1478]

I do agree that the main draw was the minifigures. But there's one thing about the minifigs and I'm not happy about it, which is the printing quality on the minifigs is really bad, on LEGO's quality standing point. They're having printing issues on minifigs for a while now and it needs to be reviewed carefully. I used to think it's only the problem of white paint on Akita minifig but now I noticed some of my minifigs in the set also have problems as well.

[@cbellostudios6386]

Hold up. D-did he call boreal a dragon?! He’s a wyvern! This is unacceptable

[@gosmbricks9833]

Haha yes but remember, Mind does not know the way....

[@yaboicaden200]

I mean the only difference is the number of legs who really cares

[@ghenetghebremicael8845]

@@yaboicaden200 it's sarcasm

[@Scar-Predator]

Boreal is a dragon. Jay said that it was a dragon. Plus wyverns don't exist in Ninjago. There's dragons and regardless of the number of legs it's still a dragon.

[@waterblazek2288]

I love this set, but it's too expensive for my budget

[@KaiBrix]

I think dragon and castle should've been 2 different sets rather than 1 set because dragon has more details than the castle which makes the castle look really empty.

[@randompianomusic5536]

Agreed

[@Scar-Predator]

Yes. They should have been. So we could get a more accurate Boreal and a more accurate Ice Castle.

[@NbandzzEBK]

Its like a rejected version of fire temple

[@riolugaming5017]

They should’ve just not made the shuri copter a thing and added Zane to a different set and released the dragon as the $30 set for the wave

[@trper]

Well th minifig selection was nice, we get akita and ice emperor...the build is kinda sucky tho.

[@QuietWyatt2005]

A solid B- for me, the set just feels unfocused

[@swole_akita2353]

Hey mind its me swole akita from instagram i’m super glad you reviewed this set, this was an amazing set i thought i was the only one who just got this set just for akita, 13:34 . when i got this set i loved it (regarding akita’s inclusion), the figs are great but i wish we got more for what we are paying, the castle build is great too but with your complain/feedback about how thin the “Rooms” are, i hate how small they are but its still a good build by using some unique and different pieces, the crossbow tower is also a good build i like it and im glad i got that mountain ice piece in the front or back idk which. and boreal i didnt like the head, so after a few months i decided to change it finally by making it bigger and better nothing else for the body (yet), and overall i love this set but shouldn’t be worth 100$ it would be best if its 75/80 $ and i would be excited to buy it but with all that said thats all i gotta say for this long paragraph (Please notice me ._. )

[@zaidalmashni4108]

@@The_Og_Bluego_Raptor yo epic

[@BippyChunchun]

You finally called this set the correct name!

[@spinjitzumasterfalcon]

Here's my suggestion. Use the Temple of The Ultimate Ultimate Weapon as the front, then use this castle as the interior.

[@Scar-Predator]

I feel like that would need quite the bit of redesigning and piece collecting to make it work. But it could.

[@battlebusterbb3550]

[@BenRamaMusic]

This set is the tits. Dragon is cool and the minifigs are cool.

[@atcancan]

I have this set and I think this is actually pretty cool looking set. Maybe it's just because I am not a super rich guy, 1 Dollar is 8 Turkish Liras here and I don't have a looot of sets. This is my 2nd biggest set and I really enjoying playing it. Yeah the inside of the set is really a bit small but, the outside looks very cool ! And that Cole figure, it's one of my favorite Cole figures and I'm happy to get him. Other figures too, the emperor, the ice samurais, the Lloyd and AKITA 😍😍😍 I love Akita so dang much 😍

[@mmh4378]

I just wished t Hey would’ve sold the dragon alone and it would’ve come with the emperor

[@sfgames120]

In 5:17 the wall says emperor

[@captaincalamari6583]

I have this set and I think it's great! 3 really good exclusive minifigures, a great dragon with lots of poseablility, and fantastic value for the price. The build for the castle itself could be better, especially the interior underneath the towers that is pretty much useless. But it still looks good from the outside and it's by far the best value of the S11 sets

[@Nabnab_TheTwistedOne]

Lloyd fs and Ice Emperor aren't exclusive Lloyd fs also come in the spinjitsu spinner slam and the ice Emperor comes in a book for Ninjago

[@nathanbilling2516]

I think the lloyds adventure set rly compliments this one and is prob suppose to go with it u can just get 2 of those and this and it will look much better
