It's an extremely bizarre and impractical design from an objective viewpoint, but plain visually, it looks pretty impressive.Håkan S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00767889630145885090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-38920409643561482292023-03-14T13:35:06.909+00:002023-03-14T13:35:06.909+00:00...but it's a bit like a Classic Space Mech if......but it's a bit like a Classic Space Mech if you change a few pieces ;-)Kev Levellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074712504000975941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-56411477654849912922023-03-14T13:29:38.093+00:002023-03-14T13:29:38.093+00:00Hmm, this mech design feels pretty slender, almost...Hmm, this mech design feels pretty slender, almost Evangelion-like, and it also seems fairly poseable for a build that requires stability. So kudos to Lego, for trying something fresh.<br /><br />However, I likely won't buy the set, anyway, as I'm not a Ninjago collector, and I need to prioritize my time, space and funding for the foreseeable future. I guess I'll mostly prioritize Marvel and pre-noughties Space for now, depending on if I'm stumbling across some good deals on other themes I'm semi-collecting... =/Håkan S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00767889630145885090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-23327537846446628312023-03-14T11:38:28.155+00:002023-03-14T11:38:28.155+00:00I'd like the Nya big mech too and the Ultra Co...I'd like the Nya big mech too and the Ultra Combo Mech also appeals... overall the head didn't bother me and I actually really liked the perversity of having unfeasibly big weapons because it is funny and that undercurrent of fun seems to be there in most Ninjago sets.Kev Levellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074712504000975941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-7615362334530093022023-03-14T04:15:39.703+00:002023-03-14T04:15:39.703+00:00My assumption was that the blue "tail" w...My assumption was that the blue "tail" was a purely decorative piece, rather than something that is or was meant to be functional, like a long braid.<br /><br />I bought this set to get the BIONICLE GWP and I also think the body shaping is very well done. The only parts where I think it falls short are the head, hands, and weapons; the head seems a bit too flimsy and small, and the hands and weapons seem too large for the body. It feels like the kind of mech that would be agile and precise, and those parts just don't fit that vibe for me.<br /><br />I also got Nya's larger mech to get a second GWP and the head was also a bit of a letdown on that one, too, even though overall that's an amazing build as well.Bfanoreply@blogger.com
