Titan Mech Battle

Ever since it came out i have always been a ninjago fan. The mini figures, the story, and the vehicles. it was only natural for me to get the titan mech battle, due to being a zane fan. but this set has so much more to offer! lets dive in. Minifigures Zane easily my favourite ninja, this set is the cheapest way to get this, obsidian zane? i watched the tv series an these suits are supposed to be made out of rock from the bottom of the ocean (so is the shurikan, water kills ghosts in the ninjago universe) . the new hood piece i would complain is a bit to much like the season 2 hood, if it wasn't hard to think of a new hood after ninjago rebooted. he is very detailed, with his new insigna that was also featured in/on his airjitzu flyer. He has the same head of the titanium ninja, witch is good because that is a very detailed and very nice head. Jay i can't really say anything different about jay, because he is pretty much a colour-swapped zane. but he does look nice. the blue really compliments the black. and his nun chucks are (slightly) more realistic with the lightsaber hilts. Nya/samurai x this mini figure looks almost exactly like the nya from the ninja DB-X, but is still a good mini figure none the less. the mask-head-googles-thing looks more accurate to then tv series in season 2 when samurai x's identity was still a mystery. when i say mystery, i mean you just had to look at the eyes and you could tell it was nya. the googles the look great, and make the helmet look more technological. Goultar this mini figure looks very creepy from the end of tip of his new moulded ghost bottom, to the end of his scythe. but that also brings my biggest complaint: he can't stand upright. His tail doesn't offer any support from the from, which is what you WANT when you're holding a huge scythe an you're trying to do a cool pose. you can use a mini figure stand or use his scythe for support, but thats just a bad sprinkle on an otherwise delicious cake. Basha I first thought this was a possessed nya, but is just your typical ninjago bad guy. or bad gal? on subject though, her armour is the same as possessed lloyd, just re-colored. but bash makes it look great with the colour scheme that matches her mech. I won't review the harpoon and cave, because they're pretty self explanatory, but i will go into the… Zanes titan mech. this is a very good mech, and surprisingly possible too. there is no knee articulation, but the mech makes up for that. the 'head' is very well done, with a pony tail sword that zane can use outside of his mech. there is also 2 stud shooters, which lego seems to use a lot now. the two spinner crowns also rotate, making it look a bit cooler. i love the assassins creed like bases on the mech. very ninja like. unfortuneantly, this veichle has an exposed cockpit, making it very easy for somebody to shoot zane in the noggin. Mech-instein What a fitting name! its very creative and can give someone a good chuckle. in the tv series, mech-instein is a possessed samurai x mech, explaining the similarities. the 4 arms look very cool and look like SPOILER ALERT, lord garmadons mech from the final battle. this is a cool remix of nya's iconic mech, with the cowcatcher shoulders and the bat winged helmet. but like the zane mech, this has an exposed cock pit. but this time, the legs are exposed. there is only some spider leg things holding bash in there. but, this is not a glow-in-the-dark set! i know, i was fooled too. lego missed a great opportunity to make this mech illuminate, but that could have bloated the price. the colours look very nice overall, and looks like it can kick zanies robotic butt. in conclusion, this set is worth the 75 dollar price tag for two awesome mechs. worth getting for any ninjago fan! more less

I thought that this set was going to fall apart often when I saw all the joints and pieces, but I stays together great. 8yo loved it and plays with it every day. Surprisingly great design at a great price. more less

Overall, I'm definitely very happy with this set. This feels like a set that you'd get for the builds but not the figures, but yet also a set you'd get for the figures and not the build. Basically, both the builds and the figures are good. But the price… dude! $59.99 (U.S.) is pretty reasonable, $89.99 (Aus) and $109.99 (NZ) are good, but £39.99 (UK)?! WOW! That's insane – but in a good way! Definitely adds even more goodness to an already-good set. more less

There is hardly any movement in the ankles. The brown slope and spoiler piece limit the possibility to almost nothing. It suffers in the same kind of ways that Emmet's Constructo Mech did. Removing the spoiler helps with lending forward, but the brown slope piece is integral, and would need replacing with a 2x2 rather than the 2x3 used. Other than that, this set is perfect. Zane only appears in his normal ninja outfit in this set, but all the other figures show up in other sets with no change to their printings. more less
