Ninjago Season 2

So I've finally caught up on Ninjago Season 2 with the snakes and everything. Okay, so I was a little iffy after the first season, which was kind of Kia-centric. But this second season has had character development all around. And some of the action scenes in the last two episodes were really great. Thus I must admit that I am now a big fan of the series.

 

Worst of all, this is tempting me to want to buy more sets, especially ones that contain cool minifigs. Last year, I managed to get all 4 ninjas in their standard garb. (Zane was the hardest one to find, eventually paid for a polybag with him in it at BrickCon.) Now I want to get a full collection of the ZX Ninjas, and the only one I need now is Cole, but I think he comes in a cheaperish set in the summer, so I'm waiting until then. (And I'm not interested in getting him in the $20 spinner set.)

 

However, the hardest idea to pull off is to get the ninjas... without their hoods on. The show gave them all some cool hair, which really adds to their personalities. But none of the sets come with these hairpieces! Jay's was easy to find... I had some spares in the right color. Zane's was easy to order, and I stole Kai's hair from the sleepy kid collectible fig. But it turns out Cole's black swooshy hair is hard to find for a good price. :( Oh well, something to keep an eye out for.

 

Now I just need a Sensei Wu to really complete my collection. (And I already have Nya, bought her spinner pack, really good fig!)

 

But yeah... Ninjago TV show. Really great. Lego's done an awesome job with this theme!

This may be the best way to get your hands on Cole's hair. Not only is it a great set (since, being brick-built, you can continue to use the calendar from now until doomsday), it includes the collectible minifig Cheerleader and Skateboarder. And the Skateboarder has the exact hair you need. Unfortunately, Lloyd's hair does not appear in the right color in real life.

 

But yeah, I'd totally recommend you investing in more sets. This year's vehicles are phenomenal, and the figs are top-notch. I too still lack Cole ZX, but I'm not planning on waiting until Summer. Cole's Tread Assault is the only one of the ninja vehicles I currently lack, and since my little brother got the Destiny's Bounty for himself, the Tread Assault is my only chance at getting Skales without spending $80 on a set he already has.

Where have you been? They're already making the third season for Ninjago, and while the first season only consisted of 4 episodes, the second had a full 13. Plus, Hero Factory has it's own mini-TV show, and there have already been movies from Lego Atlantis, Lego Star Wars, and Clutch Powers... so yeah, Lego is making a TV show.

 

Also yes the Skateboarder is the only guy that comes with the hair, and the only sure way to pick him up is thru the calendar set. I probably won't order that online, but if I happen to see it in the Lego stores come convention season, I might be tempted. ;)

 

Also, although I would love to get some of the pricier ninjago sets, I'm saving up for LotR, so I'm sticking to the cheaper Ninjago sets.
