Good Set for Younger Builders!!!

" This is my only Juniors set, and the reason I got it was for the exclusive Jay minifigure, as I collect every version of him. The set itself does not look as good as the normal NINJAGO sets, but younger kids would probably like it. I think that this Juniors subtheme is combining the first four years of NINJAGO, since it has the Dragon Sword of Fire and the Fire temple; the ninja fighting the Serpentine; and the ninja's gi have pieces from Rebooted and ZX/Kimono uniforms. It's very different not using any 1x1 studs, but I understand that this set is for juniors, and studs are too small and not always necessary.

The set:
The training course/obstacles and temple (Is it supposed to be a Juniors version of the Fire Temple?) don't look very good in my opinion, but they are made of large pieces for smaller hands. The functions are nice though. There are spinning blades, a chopping axe, a lava boulder and flames shooting up everywhere. Don't fall in the lava! The ninja have to get the Dragon Sword of Fire and hide in the fire temple before the snake and his helicopter get them, or Jay can defend the temple from the Serpentine by using his blue dragon.

The snake helicopter looks really cool and has a claw for dropping the lava boulder, grabbing the Dragon Sword of Fire, or capturing Lloyd. It also has an opening hatch in the back for putting Lloyd or Jay in, but it is sort of hard to sit them down in there. The teeth, cockpit, and spinning rotors are also nice details. overall it's my favorite part of the set.

Jay's blue dragon is just...awkward feeling. Is it a dragonfly or a dragon? The wings are long and thin, as is the tail. The head is too flat and the mouth is very odd. Plus there's a silver engine type piece...as part of the dragon. Very different. The only good part of the dragon is that it can fit two minifigures. I'm usually not very hard on LEGO about things like this, but I just don't like this dragon at all.

The minifigures:
Jay and Lloyd are a little plain, but I still like them. They're basically just wearing two average ninja suits. They only have some front and back torso printing, so I would like them a little more if they had leg printing or more recent suits. (Or if they had their Kimono gi, because I loved those. :P)

The snake villain, though, I think was very well done. He has a lot of printing, and all of it's exclusive. He looks like a mix between a Venomari and Anacondrai. The printing on the back of his torso is pretty much just a continuation of the front, but that's good, because I love his printing. He has no side printing or any on the back of his legs, but he still looks great. Good job on this minifigure!!!

This set is pretty good, but I don't like the dragon. Other than that, I would recommend this set! Thanks for reading this review, and please read my others!!! :) "

Cool Fun Pack!!!

" Since I don't have the DIMENSIONS game, I only bought this for the rare Zane minifigure. It's a cheap way to get him, especially since the pack was on sale. I would suggest getting this set while you can, as the price could go back up at any time!

Pros:
The minifig has awesome print on his gi, and is my second favorite from the Zukin ninja. Not all of his suit is silver, though, but I personally find that he still looks great. He comes with the newer style of shurikens, which have more detail than the older type. My set also came with a spare pair! The stand that comes with him is for the DIMENSIONS game, although I think it looks cool on display too. The NinjaCopter, Glaciator, and Freeze Fighter builds look pretty good and are fairly sturdy. Sadly, the instructions do not come with the set, but they can be found on LEGO.com. As I said, I don't have the game, but I've heard that his abilities in it are really good!

Cons:
None!

This is my first DIMENSIONS set, and I am very happy with it! Thanks for reading my review!!! :) "

Great New Series!!!

" I haven't bought a Mixel since series 3, but the Medivals really caught my eye. I love to build medieval MOCs, and these new sets have great pieces for just that! I decided to buy this one mostly for the helmet piece, and the set didn't disappoint. Except that the helmet piece is not gray like it appears, it's silver, but some people might actually like that better. The set also looks good when it is displayed, and the catapult mouth works very well. But anyway...

Pros:
Great new Mixels tribe
Cool pieces for customizing
Working catapult/opening and closing mouth
Really good price

Cons:
The helmet looks gray on the packaging

Overall I do like this set and recommend it. Thanks for reading! :) "

ULTIMATE AARON!!!

" This was my first Nexo Knights set, and it's really cool. Even if you don't have the game, the accessories are great! It has awesome Nexo Knights armor, stud shooters, laser bow, Nexo shield, helmet, goggles, bow and arrow, and four bananas! There is also a lot of spare ammo included. This set is also worth it for the game play, as I am yet to find a shield power that's as good as Banana Bombs! His transparent armor looks great, and I probably wouldn't have bought this set without it. It really gives the figure a techno look. The best reason to get this set though, is the minifigure: Aaron! He's a main character, (my personal favorite) and this is a very cheap set to get him in. The build is very durable, and not a bad deal for $10. There's nothing I don't like about this set!!! :) "

Big Improvement!!!

" First off, I was a little disappointed with 70785 Pohatu. He was about 19 pieces less than the other Toa that has the least pieces. He was also shorter than everyone else. Plus, the whole BIONICLE 2015 series reminded me too much of Hero Factory, not classic BIONICLE.
But this version completely fixed that.

It uses a lot of Technic pieces for the body, arms, and weapon! He's 24 pieces more than 70785, and this time HE has more pieces than Gali and Lewa! The tops of his arms look great with shoulder pad type things, made completely out of Technic. His legs though, are still basic Hero Factory. Surprisingly, his body isn't one piece, but a new torso part combined with more Technic pieces. His height is much bigger than the other version, as seen in the pictures. Pohatu's new mask is not my favorite though. The silver on top almost makes it look like he has grey hair, and the features don't look 'tough' enough to be Pohatu. His Golden Unity Mask of Stone looks pretty cool, but the gold color doesn't really match the rest of him. I haven't bought Ketar, but I would assume that the gold doesn't really match with his silver mask either. His armor color has gone from brown to tan, probably just to stay camouflaged in the desert.

Functions:
The mask pop-off function still works great, but the translucent eyes piece was changed a little. Probably to make it even easier to use the function, or so that there isn't a long piece poking off the back of his head. The rotating torso mechanism also works very well, as it used two new pieces. His build is sturdy enough that he doesn't fall over every time you use it. The crystal flail looks pretty cool, but I detach it sometimes so that it can be a sword and mace.

There really isn't anything I don't like about this set-I highly recommend it to anyone. "

The Protector of EARTH!!!

" When I first saw this set, I really thought that it looked terrible. But once I ended up buying her,(According to my information, her name is Korgot and she's a female) she looked much better than expected.
The rapid shooter in the chest works great, but that was a very odd place to put it. The mask pop-off function works very well, but I would still rather have a nice, firm mask like they were in G1. The star drill is pretty cool looking, but it really isn't much like a drill, more like a shield or something. The throwing knife was a cool little thing to add. The colors of the armor really look nice together, but I was hoping the studs would be translucent also. The Skull Spider is really cool looking in the pale green color-it's probably my favorite color for them.

There's really nothing that I don't like about this set. It is a great protector to have, even if you don't have Onua. I love this set!!!

Thank you for reading and please buy this set!!! "

Cool Protector!

" Ever since I saw the protectors, this was my favorite. He has two weapons and both look really cool. His armor looks great, and I'm really glad that he has back armor, which HF and some other BIONICLE figures do not. His stud shooter works very well, and the white-blue protector mask looks really nice. So far, he is probably still my favorite protector.

Pros:
Armor and color
Weapons
Cool mask and stud shooter functions
Combination with Kopaka

Cons:
None

Overall, I love this set. After combining with Kopaka he is still built, but he looks more like a random villager. Please buy this set and thanks for reading! :) "

Good Value for the Money

" This is my first skull villains set and I am very pleased. When reading the other reviews, I thought that this set would be terrible. But since Pohatu is my favorite Toa, I had to get "his" villain. I am very glad that I did. When I built him, it reminded me a lot of the old BIONICLE builds. The value for money, in my opinion, is great. Think about it, Tahu is 89 pieces and he's $20, while Skull Scorpio is 107 pieces and $15. His size is also very good. He is surprisingly wide, and also fairly long. I think his tail looks good, and the function works pretty well. The legs really don't bother me, because I just display him. Again, since this is the first villain I bought, the Bull Skull mask being used twice doesn't bother me.

Pros:
Colors
Legs, tail, and function
Size and piece count
Price
Golden mask

Cons:
Legs don't move

Overall, I really like Skull Scorpio, and I definitely recommend him. He looks great with Pohatu. Thanks for reading! "

AWESOME Purchase!!!

" At first, I wasn't sure whether or not to get any of the new BIONICLE sets. But, after rebuilding some of my old BIONICLEs, watching the old movies, and re-reading the books, I decided I had to give it a shot. My favorite character is Pohatu, so I found him and bought him. Believe me, I was not disappointed. He looked great after assembly. After buying him, I now want Kopaka, Protector of Ice, and Skull Scorpio!!! Although the toa now have Hero Factory pieces, they still look really cool.

Pros:
Looks awesome
Stormerangs are flexible and look great
Gear function is much easier to pose than the 2001 version
Color scheme looks cool
Jeterangs fit nicely under his feet
Looks great with brown, gold, or Skull Spider mask
Skull Spider comes with tail (Only one other set has this!)
Mask pop-off function

Cons:
Mask is NOT sturdy

So, as you can see, I think that LEGO did a great job with the BIONICLE re-release. I'm still not sure about the exposed ball joints, but they don't bother me much. Many pros, only one con. Hopefully the others are the same way.

Thank you for reading!!! "

Great!

" I saw the Galaxy Trooper and knew I had to get it. I've always been a fan of the space themed minifigures with armor-I also have the Galaxy Patrol and Space Miner. I have had a lot of experience with feeling around for the right minifigures, so I knew it when I found him. I opened it right after I got it and I saw how amazing it really is. I would have to say that it's the best of my three space minifigures.

About the minifigure:

The head detail is great, and I'm glad that it's double-sided. It's a lot like the Galaxy Patrol's head, except that his visor face is smiling and his non-visor face isn't, the complete opposite of the Galaxy Patrol.

In my opinion, the new armor is much better than the old. The fact that it can hold two blasters is great! I would like it better if they kept the jetpack, but they would have to completely redesign it. A stud on the back would be nice though.

The torso design was a big disappointment. No printing at all. (Of course, you can't see that under the armor)

The legs are nice, but once again, not much printing. For $3.99, I'm expecting more printing than before, but the legs still look great with not much of it.

I've always liked those black blasters, and this one actually comes with two. The helmet is great as usual, and if LEGO made it so you could fit a visor in it, it might make it slightly better or slightly worse.

That's my review for the Galaxy Trooper, so thanks for reading! The next figures I'm thinking about getting are the Classic King and maybe the Egyptian Warrior. "
