Not a huge fan of Ninjago but...
" Ok first things first, by the title you can tell my level of interest in Ninjago; the only other set I own is Ninjago City and I bought that for my Lego City. Now that that is out of the way the Water Strider...
I bought this set primarily because it is so amazing looking and looks great on display. I typically only buy non City or Creator sets with the sole purpose of displaying them and this one does not disappoint in the looks department. I'm probably not the greatest person to comment on the features because I don't really play with them, but the stud shooting turbine is pretty cool and the studs go pretty far when deployed. Also the articulating legs are very cool as it allows for a different stances for the strider.
If I really was forced to give a drawback, and this is hardly a negative, the joints are pretty stiff but they kind of need to be for the legs to support the model.
Throw in the fact this model is dirt cheap on a cost per piece count it is a no-brainer for Ninjago fans and even for a person that simply wants a cool display piece.
Enjoy "

Logging!
" Anyone who is a LEGO CITY collector knows that many of the vehicles/themes can become repetitive; POLICE anyone? Despite this I tend to buy about 80% of CITY sets.
What is great about this set is the how it differentiates itself from so many other vehicles that are available. The claw feature for grabbing logs is great along with the over sized tires that are indicative of a construction type vehicle. The build is very straight forward and can be completed fairly quickly. I also really love the color scheme as it is fairly unique. As far as the price goes, in typical CITY fashion is you are willing to wait a few weeks/months you will find sets at least 20% off from online retailers. In other words $16 is a very good price for this model.
Great job LEGO! Make more sets like this!!! "

" The title says it all. This is definitely one of the best LEGO sets of all time not only in the build process but the play features as well.
I am a collector with over 500 LEGO sets although I don't build many of them for lack of space bu this is one I was excited to build and it did not disappoint.
If I have one gripe it is with the amount of stickers in this set; approaching 60!!! I know it is more cost effective to utilize stickers than stamping bricks, but I would really prefer not spending a ton of time trying to get the stickers perfectly straight. I know this is splitting hairs for such an amazing set but it is the only conceivable negative I can think of.
At $300 this is an absolute bargain. If you are on the fence about buying this, stop waffling and buy it now, you won't be disappointed.
ENJOY! "
