71770 NINJAGO Zane's Golden Dragon Jet

Ninjago is back with a slew of new summer sets! One of these is Zane's Golden Dragon Jet from the newest NINJAGO season, dubbed Crystalized. I'm really happy with the new wave because of the returning minifigures and the overall design of the sets. Anyway, let's dive into this review!

This set includes 258 pieces, used to assemble a decent jet and 3 minifigures: Golden Zane, Golden Dragon Cole and General Vangelis (I guess he decided to lose the title of Skull Sorcerer). This set is for 7+. 



This set is quite vibrant and in a way, nostalgic because of the throwback to season 13 of the show. I really am impressed with the minifig selection of this set, even if there are only three here. First, let's check out Vangelis.

The torso and leg parts are so detailed. Although, I kinda think the bat wings and stuff look a bit odd paired with a clearly geode-inspired suit. But it's okay, because the character is still cool. The mask is the same as the one from season 13 of Ninjago and the hat is as well. The head is really suspicious- looking due to the inaccuracy of the design. It should literally be Vangelis with glowing green eyes!!!

The ship looks absolutely great with its intricate and vibrant features. It really stands out among other NINJAGO vehicles. 

The jet is pretty cool. Its color scheme is pretty basic but it's still enough to satisfy our eyes. The cockpit has enough room for just one minifigure, which is pretty standard. I like the design of the wings as they're quite unique, with LEGO making use of pieces usually used for mechs to represent expandable wing extensions (???). I feel that the pieces at the back of the plane are just there to fill up space, but they do look good. Here, the designers make use of generic plane pieces, so nothing really special.

Overall, this plane is of a satisfactory size and is good enogh for play, but there are still a few adjustments that I think should be made, especially near the centre.

Loads of reviews are coming soon, so stay tuned for that. Also, I'll be doing another Monthly Brick in a while to cover the new sets that include 10316 The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell and 10312 Jazz Club.  


We hope you liked this review. You can check back for some of our other reviews or articles.

31100 CREATOR 3-in-1 Sports Car

 31100 CREATOR Sports Car The 31100 CREATOR Sports Car is a recent LEGO release, and a CREATOR set. I feel the need to review this to be fair to the CREATOR fans out there, including myself. This set comes with 134 pieces, which can be used to build either a sports car, a hot rod or a cargo plane. There are no minifigures included, which may be a downer for some people, but it's totally fine. The absence of minifigures does not stop this set from being great for both play and display. The sports car is a beautiful model, with its extensive detail and sleek design. The spoiler is foldable, which allows this vehicle to quickly change looks, even if the only difference is the position of the spoiler. It rolls along quite nicely, mainly because of the wheels, which are rarely used elements in the world of LEGO. Maybe it's because of the popularity of the classic wheel part. But anyway, we have to continue. Here is the second build you can make, and it is a hot rod. It's burstin...

60324 CITY Mobile Crane

 60324 CITY Mobile Crane CITY sets are back, with more great builds and minifigs. One of these new sets is a mobile crane vehicle, called 60324 CITY Mobile Crane. It's a great addition to your MOC city, considering that a crane like this has never been made. Yes, there was a TECHNIC version, but how are you going to fit that into your city? I'm just talking about good old bricks. Let's get to the set now. It includes 1 crane, a road plate, and 2 minifigures. Not much to it considering how much you'll have to pay for this set, but still, exclusive parts abound in this one. None of the minifigs are named, but you'll find that they still make appearances in the TV show. All of the unnamed figs still get a part in the show, but that's not what we're here to discuss, is it? The crane looks pretty good, if I may say so myself. It has an operating boom and a working winch system, which is great news for the buyers that want to play with this set and not just displa...

60404 CITY Burger Truck

       As I said last article, I would do an article on the new burger truck set from LEGO, so now here I am doing that. It was a bit more overpriced than I initially assumed, so I wasn't too pleased but I guess it's okay. Anyway, before we get to the price, I want to just introduce the set. It's directed towards those 5 years old and up and included 194 pieces. The sole build is obviously a burger truck, or rather a burger van  because of its humble size with a big detachable burger housing the chef. Technically, the vehicle is just a flatbed van that carries a big hollow replica of the products its owners are selling. Anyway, the set, in terms of characters, is standard for these food truck sets from CITY: 2. There is the burger chef and then some random civilian who appears to be in tune with the local music scene (pun intended)      As you can see, there isn't too much to this set functionally (mostly aesthetics), and definitely nothing that w...
