Gorgeous Baddie Boat with Fun Features
on March 16, 2021
Posted by: Drustan
A big, beautiful baddie boat and a smaller, less impressive but functional ninja boat make for a fun play and display set.
BUILD: These ships are not like much else that has been in NINJAGO for a while, and was a unique shape and build because of that. There were some standout techniques used, especially how the shaping for the Kai's vehicle came together, that I had never seen before. Even though both ships are catamarans, the builds are quite different and there isn't much repetition.
PLAY: We are finally starting to get more substantial antagonist builds in NINJAGO, and there is a lot of play value with having a big ship to battle in play scenarios. The extending sides function on the red ship work smoothly, and it is also fun having the multipurpose sides to the brown ship that can split off.
DISPLAY: The brown and teal of the big boat is such a smooth color scheme, and it's something I hope we can see more of as it works so well here. In contrast, the flame orange and red of the smaller boat is a bit garish, even though it looks good on its own. The quantity of nice figures and the two dynamic boats offer lots of possible display scenarios.
I would recommend this to a friend!

WOW.

This set is amazing. What's great is that both sides can put a real sea battle fight with the Ninja doing their best too face a goliath type beast of a ship that can detach it's sides too overwhelm the Ninja if they chose too end the battle quickly. This set as I will type, looks amazing anywhere you put it and is fun too build and play with.

Gorgeous set with incredible value

This set is just fantastic. The build process was enjoyable and had plenty of unique building techniques, especially in the ninja’s catamaran. Both boats look great and the sails really make them pop on a shelf. There are plenty of features, and 6 excellent figures. It’s well worth the price and good for any Lego fan! My thanks to the genius that designed this!

This set looks even cooler in person!

I put this together tonight and was actually kind of shocked by how sleek and dynamic these boats are. The colors are perfect choices, the transformation gimmicks work well, and the overall look of both boats are just really eye pleasing! Each boat also ended up being larger than I expected hence me saying that the set is a good value. The minifigs, especially the baddies, are great as they are across the island season. I can’t wait for my nephew to visit so we can play with them together!

Better than expected, but they aren't catamarans

When the wave for The Island was revealed, this was the least appealing set, and it makes sense why. However, I do feel it's one of the better sets of the subtheme. The Keeper's vehicle is pretty large, which gives it enough spots for minifigures to be placed where needed. The function with the front is effective, although I personally feel it's a bit more stiff than intended. The biggest surprise though is that the sides of it can be dethatched and become smaller vehicles, and they work well together. The design is appropriately tribal and dirtier, and it works well. For Kai's vehicle, it is smaller, but it is still appropriately sized. It's function to split the sides from the body fits well, and is smooth with the transition. It's design is effective, and still allows for features like projectiles. I think the value is pretty solid. Both builds are larger than they appear on the box, and they are rather heavy with plenty of playability. However, there are 2 issues I have with the set. The minifigure selection is fine, but not great. None of them are exclusive, and while all are new for the wave, they can all be found in cheaper and arguably more desirable sets. I also have an issue with the name of the set, since looking at real world vehicles, both of them are closer to Trimarans, which have 3 sections while catamarans have 2 sections. Overall, it's better than expected, but it's not as desirable as other sets. If you have other sets from the theme, there isn't much reason to get this, but if you do get it, I think you will be satisfied with the set
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Absolutely must have set!!!
on March 7, 2021
Posted by: LegoPros
This is an amazing set to have. Both Catamaran's are absolutely amazing and colorful. I built this set with my 6 year old son. He started with Kai's Catamaran while I was working with the larger one. He had no issues building it without sticker frustration. He was done before I completed the main section of the larger Catamaran. We worked on the smaller boats that attach to the Catamaran together. He immeditely captured Jay and we started the race on the rug, our imaginary ocean :)

An amazing site and great intro to ninjago
on March 23, 2021
Posted by: LEGOryan4410
Looking at this set and the other jungle sets based off of season 14 I am amazed. This is the first ninjago set that I have gotten and I am so please. As a sucker for interiors I was at first dissatisfied however the play features make up for it in every way. The fact that both boats have amazing features that are so great for play make me very pleased. The set is expensive however the features make up for it. In addition these jungle ninja figures are the best ninjas I have ever seen and I love the new molds and prints. The jungle villains are also great figs with great colors and prints.
