An Introduction to Lego Ninjago

What is Lego Ninjago? This is a line of sets produced by Lego, featuring elements from the various Ninja series. These sets were created by Mika Yamato, and each one is slightly different.

The theme of this Lego series is based on Ninjago, the world which is home to both old villages and modern cities. It was built by the First Master of Spinjitzu, and he used the Four Golden Weapons to build it. These weapons are the Shuriken of Ice, the Scythe of Quakes, the Nunchucks of Lightning and the Sword of Fire.

Main Ninjago Characters

The main characters include Kai, who is the Red Ninja and Master of Fire, Jay, who is the Blue Ninja and Master of Lightning, Zane, who is the White Ninja and Master of Ice, and Cole, who is the Black Ninja, and Master of Lightning.

If you are collecting the whole set of Ninjago, Cole is important because he is the team leader. The Ninjago Green Ninja is also very much in demand and an essential part of the Lego Ninjago 2014 series.

Ninjago Spinner Game

As well as these you can get a Ninjago Spinner Game which focuses on Spinjitzu, a martial art. To play, 2 players have mini-figures with their weapons on studs and spin them towards one another.

One of the characters will get knocked over. You can use battle cards to get an advantage, and some cards tell you to add various Lego elements to your spinner.

How Lego Captured Our Imaginations

Everyone knows about Lego, but do you know how these little plastic bricks were first introduced to the world?

Things began in 1932 in a little shop in Billund, Denmark, which made ironing boards, stepladders, and wooden toys. The company changed its name to Lego a couple of years later, and the name comes from ‘leg godt’ which is Danish for ‘play well.’

The company grew a lot over the next few years, having 50 employees by 1948. They also made clothes hangers, babies’ plastic balls, a toy duck and wooden blocks.

They purchased a plastic injection-molding machine in 1947, to mass-produce plastic toys, and this was the step which would set the little Lego shop on its way to global fame.

This machine was making about 200 different toys by 1949 including plastic sailors, plastic fish and ‘automated binding bricks’ which were the precursor to modern Lego bricks and were renamed Lego bricks in 1953.

Their initial design was slightly different to modern bricks, but in 1958 they went through a design change which transformed them into what we would recognize today.

Lego bricks went international in the early 1960s and were sold in various European countries, as well as Lebanon and the UK. In 1973 the United States began to import them.

Complete Lego sets were available from 1964, and each of these could be used to build a particular model. Lego town appeared in 1978, Lego castle in 1978, Lego space in 1979, pirates in 1989, Western in 1996, Star Wars in 1999, and Lego Harry Potter was introduced in 2001.

These little bricks have been inspiring kids’ imaginations for more than 50 years, and it is fair to say Lego is one of the best-known and best-loved toys in the world.

Lego Characterization

The early Lego mini-figures featured yellow skin with a standard smiley face, but in 1989, Lego Pirates added eye patches and beards to the mini-figures, making them more realistic.

Soon there were lipstick, eyelashes, and sunglasses appearing in other themes. Although kids seemed to like these changes, a lot of the older collectors of Lego did not like them because they thought they were too childish, preferring the smiley yellow face with 2 dots for eyes.

Since 1990, various licensed series like Harry Potter and Star Wars have included characterization, enabling people to recognize the characters from the movies. In 2003, Lego Basketball was introduced, and the Lego players were available in a range of realistic skin tones, not just the standard Lego yellow.

Temple of Light Set

This Ninjago set includes 5 mini-figures, each with their weapons. You get Lord Garmadon, Lloyd (the golden ninja), Sensei Wu, a swordsman and a scout, as well as the golden mech with opening sides, a trap door, weapons rack, 4 elemental blade holders, a ladder and a gong.

This is a great set for anybody who likes mini-figures and the fact that it includes the hard to find golden ninja is another bonus.

A child of 8 or over could put this set together alone or with minimal help, and when completed the set will look just like it does in the Ninjago show. This makes a fabulous gift for any Lego Ninjago fan.

Build Your Own Ninjago Sonic Raider

As any Ninjago fan would know, the sonic raider is a powerful device which homes a detachable flying vehicle. This one has all the details you would want, including extendable ninja blade wings, opening cockpits, speaker cannons, a pair of golden flick missiles, front suspension, and working wheel and trends.

You also get the 4 golden Spinjitzu weapons, 5 other weapons, and a Fangpyre fan blade with anti-venom capsule. The mini-figures easily fit in the detachable vehicle.

When assembled, the sonic raider is just over 12 inches long and wide, and it is 4 inches tall, and there are a total of 6 mini-figures in this set. The pieces are very sturdy, despite any rough play.

A Great Set for Ninjago Fans

The samurai mech has poseable joints, and also comes with a golden spinner crown, bladed grabbers, shoulder cannon shooter, opening cockpit and massive blade.

There are various weapons in this set including orange anti-venom capsule and fang blade. The shoulder cannon will fire, and the snake catapult works too.

You get 3 mini-figures: Bytar, Snike and Samurai X. When assembled, this is more than 9 inches tall, and it has 452 pieces which will take a while to put together but is not too tricky, even for kids perhaps with a bit of help from mom or dad if needed.

The catapult by itself is 3 inches by 1 inch. The price is very reasonable considering the quality and number of pieces in this set.
