" Love it. Color scheme, details, mini figs, hidden features, floors, details in each room. It all works so wonderfully. One of my favorite things about this set, is that only one side has a third floor. I think this makes it stand out, especially compared to other modulars. The Pub is my favorite part. Pool table, dart board, it is so fun! This thing looks great next to my other buildings. I really like the barber chair and his little sink and mirror. Great attention to details! Well worth the money!

" The title says it all. This set is outstanding! Lots of details everywhere you look. I do not have a negative thing to say about this thing. I love the color scheme. The chef's kitchen is great, especially the little fridge with items inside it! The whiskey bar, as I have made it, inside looks great! I feel like I am looking at an old, classic place with a lot of historical pieces in it. GREAT BUILD!
This is quite possibly my favorite modular of them all, I think the Green Grocer is the only one that might be better. Get this thing while you can! I see this set being hard to come by for a decent price once it is retired!

" A great idea but missed the mark just a little bit for me. I buy just about every building LEGO makes, so I can keep expanding my LEGO city. This one excited me upon seeing the box, but once I was finished, I was rather disappointed with the overall size. The size of the building is not so bad when it is open, but if you close it up, it is just really small. I guess I just thought it was going to be a little bit bigger building??
Only two minis, which is a drag. I like the sandwiches though, the are really a good idea! I also like the outdoor table to sit at and eat your sammie :)

" There are features about this set I really like, and some that are just OK. First, my favorite thing about this set, is the tree. LEGO really hit a home run here. It is a big, decorated tree that can easily be the town center piece for Christmas! We do a winter village every Christmas, and this set fits nicely. I find the building to be very cute and the light up brick is a neat touch.
The mini figs look great, especially the carolers! I like the faces LEGO chose for the minis too, they add a lot to the set. I would like to see the building actually close up, like a modular of one of the small creator sets on a pivot. I think if that were the case, this would be a 5 star set.

" I waited at the LEGO store to buy this the first day it was available. Well worth the wait!! I won't give you a long novel on why you need this set. The most important thing here is it's another modular to add to my collection. The details are outstanding! So many new pieces introduced into this set. The rug on the main floor is incredible, and the colors really pop. The vault, espresso machine, office, all the little things work so well. I love the laundry mat and the printed windows. Lots of little details everywhere. The chandelier looks stupendous!
The use of sand green again makes me very happy. It really helps this thing look good next to the Green Grocer. The clock on the corner of the building is nice touch.
I would love to see LEGO give us another 3 story modular. No complaints with this set!

" I love everything LEGO has to offer that represents a building of some sort. I have several of the original Ninjago Dojos, and this one fits very nicely with them. I like the mini figs, especially the bad guys, that come with this set. I like that this dojo is rather small, so it can fit easily into my ninja training grounds. I love the little details here. The training items in the dojo make for a great display piece, well done LEGO.
I really like the Kai mini fig, I actually have him serving up sushi in my MOC sushi shop. I would like to see more ninjago minis with that attire.
A fun addition to your ninjago collection!

" I have several of the original dragons in my collection, Ice Dragon, Earth, Fire, Golden dragon. The are all so well done and provide a great level of play and display abilities. That is where I believe this set take the cake. This dragon is so easy to play with and display as well.
I have a love/hate relationship with the new LEGO dragon heads. The original ones were obviously just a mold, however the had some very nice details in them. The new way of building the dragon's head is great! Still able to add a level of detail. They just look somewhat off next to one another. Like I said, not really a complaint at all, just my opinion.
The detail and color scheme of the dragon are awesome! I love that this dragon is really separate from my other ones, as far as color and abilities.
The addition of the bad guys is welcomed, but the little base is just meh.
All in all a great build, with great play capabilities. My two year old loves LEGO and she loves my ninjas and dragons the most :)

" I love this set. Everything about it works. First, it is so off balance, it just works! I love how it is not perfectly even on every side. I just looks like a beat up, bad guy base of operations! The details are great! I love the little Nya ship, though admittedly I like her in the Samurai armor more.
The enemies ship is excellent. I love the torn up sail, and using the strange green color. The same goes for the "city." I love the use of all the different colors, and how the all come together. The Morro dragon fits very nicely with this set!
I really couldn't say anything negative here. I have experimented taking this city off the "water" plates and putting it on a mountain like baseplate, which really looks cool. Great build!

" This is the set I was looking forward to the most with the new series. I really really like this set. It has so many different building techniques. I really like the different stepping stones or rock to the main island. I love the Master Wu mini. The big fig is a great touch too, great addition to my collection.
If I had to say one thing about this set I do not like, is the inability to evenly attach the set to a base plate, or what I was attempting, a raised baseplate. I wanted to give it a bit more of a mountain top look.
Other than that, great set, with good mini figs.

" As the title would show, I feel like this set is really creative and fun. The way LEGO has created the hot air balloon look is very creative. I really like the new mini figs this series has to offer, especially the armor only being on one shoulder. The villains in this series are pretty epic.
I currently have this set flying above my LEGO city on a couple clear stands I stole from my Star Wars droids. Looks awesome! Can't wait for the summer sets!
