Many people have been unimpressed with (and ranted about) Ninjago because it focuses a lot on machines and vehicles. This lovely Japanese styled village goes in the opposite direction and is mainly based of Ancient Japanese culture. The set will be released in Setember of this year (2015) and will retail for $199.99. Prices in more countries, as well as other additional information, can be found in the set's Brickipedia article!

Probably the best-looking set I've ever seen. I'll be drawing a lot of inspiration from this with my own creations.

I could go on for ages, but basically my opinion- really nice set, but a really disappointing minifigure selection.

What did you want for figures? Theres 6 exclusive characters and it has all 6 ninja together!

The only reason why the minifigures are the worst part of this set is because everything else is spetacular!

Never knew Wu was exclusive, I thought that was the variant used in the second wave sets (or at least the book) since that's the only variant that's appeared in the TV series so far. Makes it slightly better then. Misako's great, and although the ninja are boring, I can understand why they're in there, fair enough. But an Airjitzu variant of Lloyd and/or a Deepstone or Airjitzu Nya would have made things much better. As for the other four- boring. A new Dareth variant's ok I guess, but the other three are a complete waste of space. They could have stuck in some elemental masters, a human Morro or something as opposed to useless civilians.

I personally like when action themes add civillains it gives the hero people to save. Here the only thing there saving them from is the postman from a papercut

I agree different variants of LLoyd and Nya might help, but really, the Ninja already have way too many different outfits. Their closets make fashionistas jealous.

For the civilian characters... The Postman should be making some fans of the show happy. He had a somewhat-funny role in the show, and really does add to the feeling of Ninjago's world ("Would a postal service be different in a world of ninjas? Would they have to climb a bunch of mountains to get to the dojos?"). :P And hey, a purple mailman outfit is interest, something we probably won't see again. His appearance doesn't really surprise or disappoint me much; I think it's cool. :P

Claire, I have to concede, seems kind of arbitrary, but maybe she plays a role in the show or something eventually? I mean, per everyone else on how she's interacting with Jay. If there's a romance going on, this could just be fanservice to those who'd want to act it out via minifigs. :P The shopkeeper is honestly the most disappointing minifigure in a sense. On one hand, I do think a shop needs a shopkeeper, and though the re-used prints fit, they are admittedly less appealing than something new.

These things always sound a lot shorter in my head... to sum up, I can understand some disappointment, but at the same time, the selection still sort of makes sense, and has some interesting additions. :P

I love it! Sibo can't say Ninjago isn't like Ninja now! This is perfect! If your interested in Acient Japan whatsoever get this set! I honestly love everything the bridge, the market, the blacksmith, the temple itself! All the builds look gorgeous from the outside and boast some previous techniques (that garage roof is Bae). The interior everywhere is brilliant too! The cinema, the study, the training area I could go on and on! The new colour pieces are fabulous too! I adore this set! €200 is to high for me (thanks for rubbing off on me Berry! >:( :P). If 2016 isn't as good as expected (or if I win money) this set is on my radar!

I don't think this affects the set as I don't care about Ninjago figures but, I find it weird that all the characters one could want are here, besides Garmadon. Why spend around the same amount of money collecting all the main characters when you could buy one of the three best sets from Ninjago? (others being fire temple and wu dragon). Sensi Wu looks fantastic! Misako is really faithful to her on screen appearance. This set has more female characters then we had from (including both uears) 2011-2014. The only girls were missing are Skylor, PIXAL and the ghost female. Speaking of wish why is there no villains in this set? Oh well they would probably just add a pointless mech or bike so I guess Ninjago should avoid villains? If we get more sets like this I'm all for it :P I think it would've been nicer if Claire was a causal Skylor or got the new prints instead of the postman. Claire is the exact same as a City mini figure from earlier this year par the hair. Why is there a postman with no post box anyway? Is he the purple ninja and his element is post! :O

To summarize:I love this set but to quote Berry: "It's too expensive for me"

Claire is clearly a villain. Tourists are never good news, and we can clearly see her seducing Jay (that'll cause some drama with Nya) and fighting Zane with a stolen glider.

Thanks, Soup. :)

I really like the look of this set, especially the puppet show. Anyone have any idea what's going on with Jay and Claire in that one photo? :S

Naturally, it's too expensive for me, but oh well. I might like to get Misako's torso loose though....
