LEGO Ninjago Ultra Sonic Raider Set 71739

I received this last week and I thought it was gonna take my days to complete, but no the instructions where very easy to read and it only took me around 2 hours to complete. My son absolutely loves it! Highly recommended.

So, 10 years after ninjago began, we get a remake of one of the more iconic vehicles. I have no copy of the 2012 or 2016 ones, so I will not compare it to that.The minifigures in this set, are mostly new for me, as I don't actually own any legacy ninja aside from Kai, who came in the Clutch powers set (still amazing to finally get him), and the Tournament of Elements Lloyd, from the Jungle Raider. But, these minifigures are stunning, with two great hypnobrai, and the golden Zane Legacy minifigure. However, one issue I had with this set, was that Legacy Zane has a titanium head, despite not getting that head until Tournament of Elements. (I thought it was a nod to the fact that his face is destroyed partly in the battle against the great devourer.) Other than that, ... MoreSo, 10 years after ninjago began, we get a remake of one of the more iconic vehicles.

(I thought it was a nod to the fact that his face is destroyed partly in the battle against the great devourer.) Other than that, the minifigs are great.The Raider itself is a nice size, and unlike the first one, disassembles into four vehicles. The two tread bikes look slightly odd on their own, but the functionality works well, despite me repeatedly shooting the spring loaded shooters, but I have that issue with every set.The Jet is the main thing I have an issue with, as the mechanism to deploy the wings breaks fairly regularly, but is easy to assemble. And the connection to the bike doesn't feel sturdy, but I have managed to pick it up by only the jet, so it is assured to be sturdy.Now, the big bike at the centre is one of my favourite builds, as it occupies the first two bags, and looks good on display, with a bit of stability issues on it's own, but it makes it easier to pose and less worry about knocking it over.The build process consists of bag 1 and 2 building the main bike at the centre alongside cole and Golden Zane. 3 builds Kai and one of the snakes and the right bike, with 4 with Jay and the left bike. Bag 5 and 6 build the jet, Legacy Zane, and the final snake.Overall, I would recommend this set, as it is a stunning build, with few stickers, and is very displayable and storable, with great playability. I spent a while after and during building recreating battles with the ninja, and the snakes, with Zane unlocking the scroll of forbidden spinjitzu.

So I got this kit for my son who’s 7 but very good it Lego and making up the kits. It took us quite a while to make up as it was complicated for him but he is slightly younger than the recommended age. He did manage it fine and the over all making of it and experience was amazing .The main design separates off in to other pieces , a plane , motorcycle and other vehicles. He mostly keeps it complete as it’s his favourite as he loves what he’s made and is proud of it and frankly it looks awesome!The pack has 7 Lego characters that fit inside all the sub designs , which makes playing with the whole set more fun.He has spent hours making it and hours playing with it.
