LEGO Ninjago Zane's Ultra Combiner Mech

it is awesome, a member of the Forbidden Five

Go Go Ninjago Go!

This 4 in 1 Ninjago Mech really caught my attention. I haven't collected any Dragon Rising sets or mini-figures BUT... When I saw Lego brought back P.I.X.A.L in this set and the overall design, it reminded me of Power Rangers OR Super Sentai from Japan! All my childhood memories flooded in my mind. I placed an order online during 9ish pm PST on December 31, then I decided to buy it in LEGO Store on January 1st so I waited in line for 1 hour to experience my first launching to feel the atmosphere so it was worth it.What I like about this set has very good selection of mini-figures! It was well designed for 4 in 1 Mech, each individual build has their own personality. They all look good by themselves, plus all the connections for combing into a big Mech are well ... MoreThis 4 in 1 Ninjago Mech really caught my attention.

This is a set that I am will to pay for retail price for $129.99CDN plus taxes. I didn't feel overprice because nowadays with inflation some sets seemed overpriced. The volume, size and the contents were well worth it. After completed the build, it looked like a toy. Most of the studs were covered when looking in the front. Most of the parts are sturdy. Keep in mind, inability to bend the knee and I am ok with this design and I get very good mini-figures It was a fun set and had an enjoyable building process.However, if someone is looking for similar to Gundam model then Cole's Titan Dragon Mech with many ball joints articulation is a good options. Highly posable. The trade off would be reducing the minifigure selection. I personally don't own this set, I was considering buying it after watching many reviews until Ninjago 71834 then I made the decision.Regarding how the Mac standing and balancing. You need to spread the legs open and let the rubber to grip on the ground because if both legs are straight then the wheels will block it and not easy to balance.Finally, Zane's Ultra Combiner Mech 71834 was designed by LEGO designer Chi Wing Lee. Thank you for all your effort, time and all the detail put into this set. Keep it up! I would like to see more similar sets in the future about combining Mech with awesome minifigure selections for $99.99USD/$129.99 price range is very good!

Great set

Purchased as preorder for my son's Christmas present, arrived one week earlier, although still after Christmas. My son really wanted this set so was ok to wait for it. He built it really quickly and instructions are ready to follow as always. He has had many play hours with it already. The only downside is it does not seem to stand very well on its own so finding a balance is always important. Overall I would still recommend

One of the greatest ninjago sets ever

I think this is one of the best sets.The minifigures are amazing, especially Nokt and P.I.X.A.L. The different builds are good. I think the build able zane is better than if we got a big fig zane. The Riyu is pretty good aswell. I glad is wasn't sold separately because it is similar to last year's one. The car is nice and I like the rotation feature on the jet. If you had the money, I would highly recommend this set if you wanted a good ninjago set

Outstanding value

I don't usually purchase these larger mechs as I see them as too large for play (without a villain mech) and difficult to display and keep stored. However, this mech is easily one of the best Ninjago mechs of all time. A definite improvement from the last ultra combiner mech lego released in 2022, the separate vehicles all look like they are meant to be one model and have great articulation in the upper body (we need knees!!!). A perfect line up of minifigures with the first time appearance of Nokt and a long awaited return of Pixal. I would have like a new torso and leg printing for Sora as we have been getting the same print for ages now.
