    Wal-Mart and Target: that’s the way to go Stephen; i’ve stuck to this method…

    I agree with you 100% Stephen; i am TIRED of vehicles! LEGO Star Wars is a classic example of my groans. Every year, without fail, they just keep making vehicles, with the exception of the Hoth Echo Base last year. But other than that, come on! There was Theed Palace, Kashyyyk Forest and tree platforms, Yavin 4 Rebel Base, Utapau (obi-wan vs general grievous), Mustafar, Geonosis arena, Kamino cloning facility, mos eisley spaceport, i mean come on! There were many awesome locations in the movies, and lego keeps dropping the ball! Halo Mega Bloks at least make the High Ground fortress!

    STEPHEN!! LEGO IS ONLY CAPABLE OF DOING SO MUCH IN A LEGO SET
    AND ONLY SO MANY IDEAS WHERES YOUR IMAGINATION WHERE!!!!
    *sigh*

    • Angus Tangney

      you know he might just of been bored and one other thing lego is not just capable of doing a set. and my cousin has this and after a while of me playing with it it got kind of boring.

      • Emma

        well I do understand wat you’re saying :D but! 90% of me geting a lego ninja go set is the minifigs!(but then again thet’s just me!) currentiy i have 10 lego ninja go sets i wish i had more :( i like the 2012 ninja go snake minifigs! :D and i like 2 take pictures of them!( my minifigs) and my original point was the key 2 fun is your imagination. not instructions…. no? :D

        • Angus Tangney

          i get what your saying but only 20% of me is capble of getting a ninjago set for the minifigures

    Stephen and Jason…..STOP going to Toys’R'Us and stop complaining about being ripped off when you continue to give them business and spend your money rather than going to the Lego Store or another vendor and getting fair pricing. Toys’R'Us does not get the sets that much sooner than Lego, perhaps maybe 2-3 weeks early and is that worth paying an extra $10-20 for the same set…. The BOGO deals aren’t even worth it either. By the time you pay the higher pricing for the sets they end up being almost the same as if you bought the sets at regular price.

    I also have to warn you both the Wrecking Ball Crane one is even worse as far as features are concerned. It’s the exact same price as this set but you only get 3 mini figures and all it does is swing the wrecking ball…..and also has guess what …..a tail AGAIN! At least this set came with 4 figures. I’ve seen both sets built and played with them a bit and sadly if you thought this one was horrible your going to be disgusted with the Wrecking Ball one.

    I have to agree with you guys about the new Ninjago Vehicles….they are very lame and have little to no features. In particular with this set, Zane’s snow mobile is the lamest of all the vehicles for the Ninjas. It has NO features and does NOTHING, at least the other vehicles had action features or convert or something. It honestly looks as if Lego is just throwing together sets with no thought to features and benefits. I think this set could have been a lot better. The Fangpyre truck could have had a Missile inside it’s mouth or flick fire missiles or something…..Unless it’s being chased by someone it’s tail function is useless.

    i <3 this set and btw 1. SHOW THE MINIFIGAS!!!!!!!!!!!! 2.<3 looks like ice cream

  • Emma

    well my point was legos idea is you get this set and Cole’s Tread Assault… and I get 2012 lego ninja go sets 4 the snake minifigs!

  • Starwarsman12345678
