Land Bounty

I ordered this for my grandson's Christmas this year. It arrived with the label on the toy box. It was not put in any other box so when he opened the door he saw his major Christmas gift from us. It was a heartbreak for me. It was stated that it was a gift. It is just hard for me to understand if you know it is a gift why would you not take the time to package it accordingly. more less

I like the change of pace from the typical ship Destiny's Bounty. The set itself has good play value, like the detailed interior and a decent amount of deck space, as well as wheels that turn with a very well integrated turning mechanism on the rear of the build. However, the detachable ship is just really weird, as the flaps (which are weirdly not connected and have no studs on top, which means there is so little usable deck space up there) won't close fully with mini figures inside, the sail is mounted so far back so that when the little flying thing is detached, it looks completely out-of-whack. The movable engines are cool, but serve no specific function aside from having something MOVE, and having a wheel on top, a pilots house in the flying build AND the main body of the build makes things confusing: what do they all do? There are pros and cons, without a doubt. I modified mine pretty extensively after getting it, particularly with the flying build, but it may not be as desirable if you just want to build and go and not worry about it. more less

This set proves the Ninjago theme is still going strong. The build is very enjoyable, and the endresult looks amazing. The testaudience (9) was able to follow the instructions very well. The Technic functions are well recieved by the test audience. more less
