So yesterday after watching an AMAZING episode of My Little Pony, Aanchir, Meiko and I went up to Potomac Mills to see Catching Fire before it left theaters for good. As I expected, it was excellent. And as a bonus, we got to visit the Lego store! My haul was as follows: 70803 Cloud Cuckoo Palace 70724 NinjaCopter President Business Collectible Minifigure Emmet Poster, Wyldstyle Poster (which I missed last week), and Benny Poster Build-a-Mini Pick-a-Brick Cup (including, among other things, more than a hundred each of Olive Green cheese slopes and Light Bley 1x1 round tiles) Uni-Kitty Key Light (not from the Lego store, but from the Books-a-Million which a Lego store employee helpfully informed me had two in stock) Rainbow Dash and the Daring Do Double Dare (also from Books-a-Million, obviously) Meiko also picked up 71006 The Simpsons House to review, as well as 70808 Super Cycle Chase. All in all, a good day. And I'm now the proud owner of two Uni-Kittys (the fig itself and a light-up keychain). It was a somewhat modest haul for a trip to the Lego store, but it was satisfying, and I'll be able to pick up the slack next month when I visit as part of the BZPower Lego Movie Meetup!

I thought I'd share a project I'd been working on for a while! This is a Ninjago-themed Advent Calendar I designed to put on Lego Cuusoo. I put a lot of work into designing a variety of small and interesting models based on the theme. I'll link to my pictures on Flickr, since I've already given them detailed descriptions there. Also, if you like what you see, I encourage you to support it on Cuusoo!

As was hinted nearly a year ago, Ninjago is coming back and it's coming back strong! This is a topic to discuss the new storyline as it develops. I wasn't sure whether to make this topic here or in LEGO Discussion, but I figured that since most of the story discussion is media-related (either related to the TV show or the new website) Media Discussion would be best. If the moderators disagree, they are welcome to move it. Here's the official trailer: There are more videos and character bios on the LEGO website: http://www.lego.com/en-us/ninjago Who else is excited? I personally look forward to finding out more about the new characters like Cyrus Borg and Pixal! There have already been a number of excellent drawings of Pixal from various Ninjago fans on deviantART. She's definitely an intriguing character. I hope that she eventually becomes a trusted member of the Ninja team and continues to play a role even after this story arc.

1) What happened to Sensei Wu's lesson book? (After Lloyd stole it. Did Sensei get it back, and do you think the robots will have an interest in it?) 2) How do you think Sensei is going to end up on the robots' side? 3) Do you think Jay can produce less than 1.21 gigawatts at a time, in order to restore an electronic device, or is it a one-size-blast all? 4) Should Dareth come back sometime in this season, and bring his stone army with him? (Or is he too annoying? I seem to be fuzzy on whether the army was destroyed or just in Dareth's hands.)

Presentation From the design of the box to the instruction manual, these are the first things you see before building the set. Here we have a plastic baggie, much like the new HF ones, only much, much smaller. On the front we have a character drawing of Lizaru in the center, with a preview at the parts below. To the bottom right we can see that it's a booster pack for one of the newer Ninjago spinners. And how could we forget the Ninjago and LEGO logos? On the back, we have advertisements for other booster packs, how this booster pack is to be used (don't swallow the bricks kids!), and the legal information. This bag is a little entertaining, but it is very cluttered. Building Half the fun is had building the set. How fun is it to build and how easy or challenging is it? There really isn't much to say here, you build the minifigure and his accesories, then you're done. They are pretty cool though. I really love that golden ax. Set Design Now that the set is complete, we can critique how it looks from every angle. New or interesting pieces can also be examined here. There isn't much design to the set, but it's a set none the less. The Lizaru minifigure is really nicely done. The printing is continued on almost every side of the body, the frond being my favorite (look at that scar!). The scaly look carries over him very nicely. The only bad thing about the figure is the head. It has NO articulation at all. But the eyes and printing somewhat make up for it, however. The only really interesting thing that I found were the trans-light green snake things. They don't really do much, but they look pretty cool. Playability The other half of the fun is in playing with the set. How well does the set function and is it enjoyable to play with? You all probably know how to play with a minifigure, but for those who don't, you grasp it between two fingers and make it hop up and down (to imitate walking) and add in the dialogue. In this case, you pick up the minifigure with his golden ax, and (in the most snake-like voice you can imagine) say something like "imma gonna kill you wit mah golden ax!!!" Final Thoughts Once it's all said and done, how does the set stack up? Should I get it? Pros What's to like? Lizaru!Golden Ax!Trans-light-green snake-things! Cons What's not to like? Not much articulationNot much you can do with the spinner accesories if you don't have a spinner. All in all, pretty good minifigure, pretty good parts, pretty good set.

Okay, I just want to know your opinion for this. Since the Bionicle line lasted 10 years, how long do you think the Hero Factory, Ninjago, and Chima sets will last?

Approved by Spink Credit to Fantasia at Shattered Mask Productions The Ninjago RPG Excerpts from Jay’s Journal Nearly a year after the defeat of the Overlord: The strangest thing happened today. I was in Ninjago City buying some final supplies for the academy when the sky grew dark. A whirlpool formed in the clouds, focused around the tallest building in the city. Then, from the center of the whirlpool came a bright purple orb. As I looked at it, it appeared there were five shapes in it. The orb flew off, and the skies brightened. A few days after the last entry: Today, The Academy of the Ninja opened, on the same grounds the Monastery once stood. Everyone was there, and many students applied immediately. The five of us ninja will be busy over the next few days. One month after the opening of The Academy of the Ninja: So much has happened in the last few days. We know who the five figures I saw in the orb are. They are evil versions of us five ninja: Lloyd, Kai, Cole, Zane and me. The evil Lloyd, (who calls himself Lord Garmadon) stole Darreth’s crown and united the Skulkin, Serpentine and Stone Army against us. Luckily for us, we aren’t alone. This is where you come in. You will take on the role of a student at The Academy of the Ninja or a member of the Serpentine Tribes, and your enemies. Rules (Credit to Peabody Sam for writing these in Dino Attack. Mostly copy & pasted from there.) Rules are important to the survival of this RPG. Breaking them will result in penalties depending on which rule and how severely it was broken. 1. All BZP rules are in effect here. This means no spamming, no flaming, etc. 2. Do not kill official LEGO Characters. It's alright if you kill your own made-up characters, but if Kai or Sensei Wu dies, I'm going to ask you to change your post. 3. Keep violent descriptions down to minimal. Instead of typing "IC: Swing, swing, swing! He swung his sword at the Serpentine just for fun, and laughed as he saw its guts spill out onto the street!", write "IC: He swung his weapon at the Serpentine, whose life came to an abrupt end." 4. Do not kill other players' characters without their consent. 5. Trainee Ninja are limited to the Ninja Glider. Trainee Serpentine to the Snake Cart, and Standard Ninja and Serpentine are limited to the vehicles outlined in the class section. Any rank can use the vehicles of a rank below them. Elements can never use vehicles of other elements or the vehicles of other factions. Unless my consent is given, they may not use any other vehicle. The same goes for powers. Trainee are limited to Spinjitzu or Fang-Kwon-Do 6. No God Modding. If your character leaps across a fifty-mile canyon, or defeats two hundred Stone Swordsmen single-handedly without breaking a sweat, that's G-Modding. Don't do it. It makes the RPG less challenging. 6a. There appears to be a bit of confusion over the term 'G-Modding'. In this context, 'G-Modding' refers to giving your character ridiculous abilities. Apparently, another definition of 'G-Modding' is controlling other people's characters. The former is what's not allowed, but the latter is allowed in this RPG. Guidelines (Credit to Dino Attack.) Guidelines are like the rules. However, breaking of the guidelines only results in a warning. 1. Instead of adding more PMs to our inbox, if you've got something you want to tell me about this RPG, do so in your post. That’s why the "OOC" part of the post exists. 2. Use "IC" when In Character (describing what your character is doing in-universe) and "OOC" when Out Of Character (to talk and discuss with other BZP members). This way, it is less confusing for other members to read your posts. For example:"OOC: I bought a 9450 Epic Dragon Battle on eBay yesterday!IC: Kai spun around in his Blade Cycle. He dodged the Serpentine Mech, and began to plan a solution to defeat the robot." 3. Please know that at times I can be extremely busy and cannot always attend this RPG. This means that we may not add your character's profile to the character list as soon as you post it. If we have not added your character's profile, do not, repeat, DO NOT hassle us or PM us to get it added. Patience is a virtue, you know, and although I admit that I lack patience, I hope you have some instead. Be considerate. 4. Do not PM your profile to me. Post it here instead. 5. If possible, make your posts medium-length. Epics are not required for each post, but posts with one or two in-character sentences don't add much to the RPG. This RPG tries to see how well you and other members can interact and take control of the story; while this can be achieved through short posts, it take far less time with medium-length posts. 6. If you are planning to leave this RPG, please let us know in advance so we may take your profile down from the character list. If you're only going on break, tell us so that I do not take down your profile. 7. Keep interaction with other LEGO themes down to minimal. It's alright if your character has backgrounds in another theme, that’s okay, but keep it as simple as that. 8. For most vehicles are they are the size of the set. The only exceptions are the Destiny’s Bounty and the Serpentine Bus, these are the size in the show. Try to keep your vehicle real. Don’t just suddenly be in it or have it appear out of nowhere. Elements: Light: The green energy Lloyd uses. Can fire lasers, and orbs of energy. Elite masters can make a green fire. Color is green. Fire: The art of the flame.

Both have equal control of all four elements and know Spinjitzu. They are the headmasters of The Academy of the Ninja. The duo are very old men, but they have incredible power. Lord Garmadon: An evil version of Lloyd Garmadon from an alternate dimension. It is currently unknown how he became evil, why he came to our dimension, or how he came here. Physically he looks like Lloyd, but with black hair, pale skin and red eyes. He controls Shadow instead of Light, and dresses in purple instead of green. Shadow can do all of the things that Light can, but is purple. Lord Garmadon posses all four dark elements, and knows the Dark Dragon Fighting style. The Dark Ninja: Evil versions of the four original ninja. Each has a dark version of their original element, which can corrupt one, or due the normal things for that element. Look like the original evil ninja from our universe, but we know they are the actual ninja from their dimension. Each has the ability to make a dark dragon, like Lloyd’s Golden Dragon ability, but they become the dragon. Each wields the Golden Weapon of their element. The Serpentine Kings: Originally the Serpentine Generals, they have received a new title from the new Lord Garmadon. Their Snake powers are the greatest of any Serpentine. The informal leader of the group is Skales, and the lesser members are Acidicus, Fangtom and Skalidor. Each carries a Snake Staff that shows their leadership over their tribe. The Five Ninja: The original ninja, Lloyd, Zane, Cole, Jay, and Kai. Each controls one element. They all teach their respective element at The Academy of the Ninja. Lloyd wears his Green Ninja outfit for casual wear, and his golden suit for battle. For more, go to the Ninjago Wiki. Nya: Samurai X. She now a weapon teacher at The Academy. If need be, she will enter the Samurai X mech again. She knows spinjitzu, but she keeps this a secret. No body knows this, not even the ninja. She also acts as the tour guide for tours around The Academy. Important Locations: The Academy of the Ninja: A school founded dedicated to the art of the ninja. It was built on the remains of the Monastery. It serves as the main base for the ninja and teaches students on stealth, mastery of their element and the art of weaponry. Forest of Tranquility: An average forest that contains a rare element: Relaxum. This element calms one down incredibly, and is being mined by the united armies. It is unknown why Lord Garmadon’s forces want it. To prevent the mining, the Fire Temple has been turned into a citadel controlled by ninja. Ninjago City: The largest city in all of Ninjago. The ninja bought the entire building that their fancy apartment had been located in, and have turned it into a branch of the Academy, where important ceremonies occur and Elite ninja live. Ouroboros: The city of Ouroboros has been completely renovated by Lord Garmadon. It has modern buildings, many walls and defenses. This is the opposite of the Academy: It is the base of the united armies. At the center, where there was once a Slither Pit, stands Lord Garmadon’s palace. The Five Tombs: The five Serpentine tombs have been converted into bases for the united armies. They have electricity and modern comforts. All are heavily guarded and nearly impossible to break into. Hypobrai entrance is located in the Nothern Provinces, and is the laboratory for the united armies. All of the tombs have been linked together, making one giant base. The Caves of Despair: The forces of the evil Lloyd Garmadon are mining a special, practically indestructible metal called Inumium here. To stop the mining, a section of the cave was converted into a fortress. It is very easy to get lost here, and many poisonous creatures lurk in darkness, so you must always have light and a map here. The Nothern Provinces: A barren, frozen wasteland, this is the location of a major battle site. The ninja control the Ice Fortress, where the Shruikens of Ice were found, and the Serpentine have a tomb here. The ninja are trying here to prevent the expirements that the united armies are performing in the Hypnobrai tomb. The Nothern Provinces are off limits to Trainee Ninja and Serpentine Scouts. The Dark Island: The Dark Island is infested with Skulkin, Serpentine and Stone Soldiers. Many cities populate the island, all controlled by the united armies. The forces of evil are mining Dark Matter here, and are refining it. Refined Dark Matter gives one red eyes and pale skin. The only base the ninja have is the Mountain of Light. The mountain that contains the Temple of Light has been turned into a huge fortress. The battles that rage here are very dangerous, so the Dark Island, like the Northern Provinces is off limits to Trainee Ninja or Serpentine Scouts. The Sea of Sand: The second largest location out of all of them, only rivaled by the Dark Island. The Sea of Sand is the blandest of all the areas, merely a desert. What it contains is of note, however. The city of Ouroboros, Ed n' Edna's Scrapyard, the Mountain of a Thousand Steps and the Anacondrai Tomb can all be accessed here. Also, dotted across the sand are many ruins. Factions: The United Armies: After arriving in our universe, Lord Garmadon stole the Helm of Darkness and took control of the Stone Army. He united the Skulkin and Serpentine together with the Stone Army to take over the world. Vehicles of separate factions are generally used only by their respective faction. The Skulkin are living skeletons that come from the Underworld. They have the ability to use elemental powers of the original four elements equivalent to Standard Ninja power. The Serpentine have four different powers: The Fangpyre, turn objects into snakes with a bite; Hypnobrai, mind control enemies; Constrictai, burrow through the ground and Venomari, make enemies hallucinate. The Stone Army are nearly indestructible warriors made out of rock that can only be defeated with elemental powers. The Ninja: The original four ninja has built an Academy to train future ninja. They are the main opposition against the United Armies, as the country of Ninjago abolished it's army many years ago, as there were no opposing sides in any war. At the Academy, there are five different choices of elements: Fire, Earth, Lightning, Ice and Light. Sign Up: If you want to study at the Academy and defend Ninjago, fill out this form. You may have three (3) PCs, and as many NPCs as you want. I recommend you have at least one ninja and one Serpentine. Your PCs have to be ninja or Serpentine, but your NPCs can be samurai, average citizens, Skulkin or Stone Warriors. If one of your characters dies, then you can create a new one. You have the story, you have the enemy, and you have the setting. Go out, and defend Ninjago.

Truth to tell, I'm not drooling over the Chima sets. That usually comes after I see the story either online or on the screen. What i learned so far is the Chima has 5 tribes: Lion, Wolf, Croc, Eagle and Raven. But that isn't the only animal/man minifigs Lego has produced. Thanks to Ninjago's Serpentine wave, we a long lost Snake tribe ready to join the fight. Even better, the Fangpyre sets also have machine and vehicles. This is the perfect time too, because many of these sets are heading for the discount bin to clear shelf space for the Chima sets. So now is the time to create a Chima tribe out of the Ninjago sets.

I'm going to Hawaii in a couple weeks and I wanted to take advantage of that opportunity and make a bionicle or Lego based film! And tell me any ideas or any typos or misspellings :DOk so here's my idea, A kid lives on an island that was formerly mata Nui, he stumbles upon something on the beach, It turs out that it's the mask of time !And he researches about it and finds out there should be more masks and he goes around trying to find clues a bout t what happened Although I still need a plot and some more concepts, And I'm working on a vahi that looks old and rusted from ages of burial

Spitfire was surprised when her invitation to the family's annual reunion gave a location other than the family's ancestral home of Ignacia. Flying to the destination coordinates provided in the invitation, she was surprised to find her cousins Kai and Nya waiting for her aboard a magnificent airship, along with Nya's new boyfriend Jay and the other friends they had made on their adventures.My entry for a certain pony blog's Artist Training Grounds - Family Reunion Edition, which ended yesterday. I actually began to put together the ideas for this artwork during the previous week's Artist Training Grounds, during which I learned that Spitfire from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic shares a voice actress with Nya from LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. I had previously drawn pony versions of the Ninja and Nya quite a while ago (don't post there, topic is dead), but this gave me an excuse just contrived enough to draw them again (Nya and Spitfire both have stylized phoenix cutie marks! =D ). While I couldn't find a funny/heartwarming way to express the idea of the two being related that week, this week's "family reunion" prompts were too good to pass up.Most of this was drawn on the road from my Nana's house in North Carolina back to my house in Virginia, so the lineart is very sketchy, and the Destiny's Bounty is probably horribly off-model. The idea of Kai, Nya, and Spitfire reuniting aboard the Destiny's Bounty in this way was probably also too ambitious for me to really do well in just one day. But the important thing is that I'm trying to get in the habit of drawing ponies more often. I'll probably never have the skill of pony artists like Jiayi, but hopefully one day I'll have at least enough skill to get on this pony blog's "Drawfriend" from time to time.

When I first saw pics that the Samurai Mech was going to be a set. I wanted it so much. Once I got it. It took a few bricklink orders but I was able to revamp it to be more show accurate. Also being a fan of Nya I got both the Samurai X spinner and the Nya spinner. There are a lot of pics below so here is the gallery when its public. In the gallery is an Lxf file for the mech and card stand built in Ldd if you wish to build this yourself. (In the model there are parts that aren't attached since they won't attach in Ldd. But they will attach in real life. The bottom of the sword also won't attach in Ldd but will attach in real life. Also I've built the thumb differently since recently I've figured out how to build a realistic thumb for the mech in real life.) http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=518691 So here are some pics of my Nya minifigs (All of them wear the ring from the lord of the rings sets. It represents the bracelet Nya had in the show) Samurai X front (I used the head from Spyclops since it best matched the goggles Samurai X had in the show) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/001.jpg Samurai X back (I used a star wars jetpack for her jetpack. I had to cut the top part off for it to fit) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/002.jpg Custom Nya Zx front http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/003.jpg Custom Nya Zx back http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/004.jpg Nya minifig http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/005.jpg Nya in her dress http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/006.jpg Nya with goggles and helmet from the episode Darkness shall rise (Yes it looks goofy) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/007.jpg Wish they made a dark Nya minifig. Then I would have all her variations This is my Custom Samurai X Spinner. (Nya's normal spinner included) Top View http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/008.jpg Bottom View (I wish I could take apart my Samurai X spinner and give it a Gunmetal bottom. Until then That is the only Silver used in all of my Nya sets) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/009.jpg Nya Zx and Normal Nya on the spinners (Nya Zx is loaded with swords) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/010.jpg My custom Card holder for My Nya and Samurai X character cards (Also hold the weapons from both spinner sets Samurai X Side http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/011.jpg Nya Side http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/012.jpg Now with all of that out of the way. I can show you my Revamp of the Samurai Mech Set These are the changes I made 1. Removal of the tan bricks, Trans red bricks blue bricks and most of the light grey bricks 2. Putting a cannon on both sides and making both hands clawed 3. Making the front be able to flip down like it does in the show 4. Replacing the Small jetpack with a more accurately sized one 5. Improving the sword and making the blade gunmetal. 6. Modifying the arms and legs so they have more articulation With that here are pics Front View http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/013.jpg Right Side http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/014.jpg Back View http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/015.jpg Left Side http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/016.jpg Cockpit open http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/017.jpg Samurai X getting inside http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/018.jpg Samurai X inside the mech http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/019.jpg Mech weilding a Shuriken (Ninjago Gunmetal crown works best) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/021.jpg Mech shooting a net http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/022.jpg Here is a pic of the sword (There is a hole drilled in the blade so the sword can be stored) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/023.jpg Hip mounting port (I had to use those studs since they only come in white) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/024.jpg Sword stored on hip http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/025.jpg Drawing sword from hip http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/026.jpg Sword stored on back http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/027.jpg Drawing sword from back http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/028.jpg One final pic an action pose http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Ninjago/NYAGO/029.jpg Comments and critisim appriciated

So there was this awesome Chima display somewhere in Korea. Here are some pictures. And Ninjago if you are interested: So what do you guys think?

For Eternity Kaito, the protagonist in the story, prior to his Green Ninja tranformation Everyone knows the legend of Ninjago. Everybody knows how Kai, Zane, Jay, and Cole came together, alongside Lloyd, the fabled Green Ninja, to fight the evil Lord Garmadon. But, for every occurrence, there are an infinite number of alternate possibilities. Let us leave Ninjago for a while and journey to an alternate version of Ninjago. In this land, Lord Garmadon never met Misako, and Lloyd was never born. Because of this difference, Garmadon lacked any light in his heart, no love, no family, only pure darkness. When the skeleton armies raided the land, no one was safe. There were hundreds of casualties. Among them were Kai, Zane, Jay, and Cole- the Ninja. The Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu were all stolen and darkness reigned. But destiny never allows for unopposed evil. A lone hero rose to the occasion. This is his story.“OOF!”Kaito hefted a huge block. Ever since the skeleton armies had invaded almost a year ago, leaving destruction in its wake, the village had been rebuilding, trying to recover from the disaster. Kaito was about to put the block in its place when an old man interrupted him, tapping him on the shoulder.“YEOWCH!”Kaito yelled as he dropped the block on his foot. Annoyed, he turned around and looked at the old man, who merely chuckled.“I am sorry to interrupt your labors,” replied the old man, “but unless you want another skeleton invasion, I suggest you come with me.”“Is that a threat?” asked Kaito, drawing his sword.“No, merely a warning,” replied the old man, unfazed by the weapon. “You will see once you learn the skills needed to defeat the skeleton armies once and for all.”“Who are you?” demanded Kaito, not letting down his guard.“My name is Wu, although you can call me... Sensei Wu.” the old man replied.“Sensei? I’m not anybody’s student,” argued Kaito. “I don’t need anybody to teach me.”“Yes, you do,” Wu replied, “Especially to teach you... humility.”Their argument was cut short by panicked cries. The skeletons were back.“The skeletons! Wait right here.” exclaimed Kaito, jumping into battle. A white aura surrounded his sword as he jumped into battle. He hacked and slashed at the skeletons, swiftly dismembering the undead soldiers. Peculiarly, the skeletons froze up the second they came in contact with the sword. But there were simply too many skeletons. Kaito was almost overwhelmed when a golden tornado came spinning to his rescue. The tornado stopped spinning to reveal... Sensei Wu.“I told you to stay out of this!” yelled an angered Kaito, running away from the old man. He continued to fight for the village, but the skeletons were rapidly overwhelming the futile defenses of the village.“Kaito! Help!”Kaito turned and saw his friend, Kathy, being menaced by Samukai, the four-armed skeleton general, who was wielding the Nunchucks of Lightning and the Sword of Fire.“Kathy! No!” Kaito leaped over and swiftly decapitated Samukai. Suddenly, the unexpected happened. Samukai’s eerie headless body picked up his oversized skull and replaced it. Kaito glanced at his sword. Had the mystical sword failed, or was Samukai simply too strong? He cut Samukai to pieces. As the monstrosity reassembled himself, he yelled for Kathy to escape. “Go! Now! Don’t worry about me, save yourself! It’s not safe here! Go!”Kathy took the warning and ran, towards the dock. Looking over her shoulder, she saw Kaito fighting for his life against Samukai.“Don’t look back!” Kaito yelled. “Just go!”Kathy boarded a ship and set sail. However, Samukai had other plans. Laughing evilly and raising the Nunchucks of Lightning to the sky, he created a storm that swiftly caught her, pulling her far off course.“Kathy!” yelled Kaito. This was the fatal distraction that Samukai needed. He prepared to strike the final blow with the Sword of Fire. Kaito had just enough time to watch the shadow of doom fall upon him. Samukai struck- and it was blocked by a bamboo staff. It was Sensei Wu! Scowling, Kaito pushed him out of the way and faced off against Samukai. The skeleton general simply turned his back, casually set the village ablaze with the Sword of Fire, and called for his armies to retreat. Once the village burned to the ground and the destruction was visible, it was clear why Samukai left. A whole village, slaughtered overnight. The streets were strewn with corpses of the people Kaito once knew. He was the only one left.“I can help you defeat the army,” Kaito heard Wu behind him. “And next time, you will not lose.”“Next time?” Kaito yelled in anger. “What next time? They’re dead! All of them!”“Not all of them.” Wu calmly replied. “Although lost, that girl still lives, and so do you and I.”“But what’s the point? My sword did nothing! I did nothing!”“Your sword? Actually, I’m curious. It’s something about that sword... That sword is powerful, and you cannot use it properly.”“It was forged a long time ago, and it’s supposed to be able to dispel dark magic,” Kaito explained, “and I can use it just fine! Besides, how did you do that tornado thing? That seems to be the only thing that works against them... Please! Teach me how to do that!”“Very well,” replied Sensei Wu. “I will teach you Spinjitzu.”And they trained. They sparred late into the night. Kaito learned the legends of Lord Garmadon and the prophecy of the Green Ninja. Kaito discovered the art of Spinjitzu. Kaito mastered the elements of Fire, Lightning, Ice, and Earth. But no matter what he learned, no matter how powerful he got, a dark shadow still hung over Ninjago. While Kaito was training, the skeletons, unopposed, conquered Ninjago City. A huge crater was blown in the middle of Ninjago, connecting Ninjago with the underworld beneath. Garmadon’s dark forces spilled out of the hole by the millions, sweeping Ninjago. Soon, Garmadon was the absolute ruler of Ninjago. An evil tower of dark steel and obsidian was built in the underworld, protruding through the hole and reaching up to the cloudy skies. It could be seen for miles as a reminder of Garmadon’s immense power. But as the tower grew, so did Kaito’s strength. Sensei Wu watched the imposing skyscraper from the safety of the monastery, the only place that the skeletons had not yet reached. But that soon changed, as the armies climbed the mountain one day.“We’re under attack!” yelled Kaito. Grabbing his sword, he prepared to fight- But Sensei Wu stopped him.“No. I will fight. You are too important to die here. Go! The time has come! The final battle, yes, the time has come for the Green Ninja to rise up and fight Lord Garmadon. The Green Ninja... The Green Ninja is... Ack!” At that moment, a skeleton warrior stabbed Sensei Wu, killing him instantly. At that moment, Kaito realized the truth.Three years later, Kaito stood at the gates of the Underworld Tower. Its imposing sleek metal design stared at him. Suddenly, the gates opened, and the dark lord himself stepped out, dragging the disembodied head of what had once been Kathy, the girl who had tried to escape so many years ago.“Oh, I assume you’ve come here for the girl?” inquired Garmadon. “Take her.” He tossed the head at Kaito.“You monster...” Kaito gritted his teeth. Garmadon was even more hideous in person. His skin was pitch black. He towered over Kaito, with four menacing arms, each wielding one of the Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu. His teeth were sharp fangs, and his nails were piercing claws. He wore a fearsome helmet of dark steel and bone.“Oh, a challenge, is it? Very well,” Garmadon calmly replied. “This shall be delightful! Muahahaha!” Garmadon laughed evilly, then attacked with all four weapons.Kaito regained his focus. Fire, Lightning, Ice, and Earth swirled around him. His clothing became green, and a Ninja mask formed around his head. He had transformed... Into the Green Ninja! “Ninja... Go!” Kaito used his Spinjitzu, spinning in a green tornado. Garmadon, however, was far stronger, knocking him back with the incredible power of the Four Weapons. Kaito could barely see the blurry, shaking outline of Garmadon standing over him.“Foolish mortal,” taunted Garmadon. “Don’t you see that darkness always wins? I have already seized Ninjago, and I will not stop there! My skeleton army is all powerful! I will be able to control the whole world! Nothing can stand in my way! And I will destroy anyone who tries... starting with you!”“No! This ends now!” Kaito lashed out- and cut off Garmadon’s head. The dark lord’s hulking body fell one way, and his cranium rolled the other way. Suddenly, the blackness marring Garmadon’s skin receded, and his body began to shrink. Garmadon was reverting back to a human. His face was no longer demonic, but rather, quite human and strangely familiar. Kaito gasped. Garmadon’s face... was his own. He fell to his knees. He looked down at his hands and was horrified by the sight. Garmadon’s blood, on Kaito’s hands, was beginning to blacken and spread, mutating his body and dyeing his skin pitch black. Kaito felt the darkness spreading through him. He was becoming Garmadon. The disembodied head spoke.“You may have defeated me, Green Ninja, but you have not destroyed me. For, in murdering me, you have become the ultimate evil. It is to you that I shall pass on my sins. Farewell... brother...”The head disintegrated. Kaito was stricken with pain and horror as the realization hit him. He was no better than Garmadon. He was evil.“No! This cannot be!” lamented Kaito. Picking up his sword, he decided to end the darkness that had plagued Ninjago for years. He firmly gripped his sword, preparing himself- and struck himself through. He fell to the ground, choking and spitting blood. In his last moments, he saw the tower crumble to dust and the sun shining through the dark clouds. On his last breath, he whispered one final vow.“Now... Ninjago... is... at peace again... as long as I am dead... Ninjago is safe... safe.. for eternity...”Kaito closed his eyes. His transformation reversed itself as he slowly passed away. And once his heart stopped and his last flicker of life was extinguished, Ninjago was finally at peace once more. For eternity.

Toa Electro here.and I want to talk about unrealeased sets!first one ive always thought was cool is........... The Bone Heads Of VooDoo Island! I always liked the concept of bone heads of voodo island ,its kinda tribal and is a more concentrated native version of the earlier bionicle years.Tell me what you would have liked changed and what you would've liked to see in this theme,maybe even if this would be a way to bring back bionicle what would you do to make it more bionicle appropriate. Cybots Cybots, a mashup of rock raiders slizers and technic.sounds cool , you can make vehicle people things or make one of the characters have a forklift for an arm.What do you think about it if it really was released would you but it, would you shun it? why?

I have found a way to attach the 4 armed Garmadon piece to a torso piece. Here are step by step instructions on it.Parts needed to do thishttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/mc/Garmadon4armsLdd/attaching_4_armed_piece__1.pngStep 1 lie the torsos and legs on there backhttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/mc/Garmadon4armsLdd/attaching_4_armed_piece__2.pngStep 2 attach the legs to the 4 armed torsohttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/mc/Garmadon4armsLdd/attaching_4_armed_piece__3.pngStep 3 drag the legs out of the 4 armed torso till there the space away in the pichttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/mc/Garmadon4armsLdd/attaching_4_armed_piece__4.pngStep 4 attach the normal Garmadon torso. As you see in the pic it doesn't line up all the way with the 4 armed torsohttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/mc/Garmadon4armsLdd/attaching_4_armed_piece__5.pngStep 5 take the two red bricks and attach them to the feet as shownhttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/mc/Garmadon4armsLdd/attaching_4_armed_piece__6.pngStep 6 remove the normal Garmadon torso and slide the legs onto the 1x2 brickhttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/mc/Garmadon4armsLdd/attaching_4_armed_piece__7.pngStep 7 slide the 1x2 brick over so it lines up under the 4 armed piecehttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/mc/Garmadon4armsLdd/attaching_4_armed_piece__8.pngStep 8 move the legs back over and attach the normal Garmadon toros. The 4 armed piece will now be lined up properlyhttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/mc/Garmadon4armsLdd/attaching_4_armed_piece__9.pngStep 9 delete the red bricks and highlight all the pieces. The 4 armed part isn't attached to the normal torso so you'll have to select all the bricks by dragging over them with your mouse. Stand the completed torso upright and your donehttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/mc/Garmadon4armsLdd/attaching_4_armed_piece__10.pngNote if this is posted in the wrong topic please move to correct topic. -
Does anyone know of a set that has Lloyd ZX in his black kimono incarnation? I've been looking around online, but so far all I've come up with is the Ninjago Character Guide. Does anyone know if there's another way to get a hold of him? Or is buying the Character Guide my best bet?Here's a link to the pic.Thanks in advance, guys.

I was just experimenting with LDD, and I just made this for fun. While battling Lord Garmadon, the ninja encounter a mysterious Green Ninja. Whoever this ninja is, the ninja will have to deal with Garmadon first. Note: This is in a dream that Jay is having

So, just waiting to head over to the convention hall and apparently Ninjago is on TV, sooo I'm going to have to begrudgingly admit that it's better than I expected. I'll have to start catching up to it now. I'm only three seasons behind, right? :?

So I saw the new Ninjago episode tonight! It was pretty intense. The series is definitely moving towards a conclusion that will do the series as a whole justice. A short summary of the coolest parts and my thoughts follow: In other Ninjago news, I found a Japanese online shop today that had descriptions of next year's Ninjago sets. I obviously can't share this on BZPower since this site probably wasn't supposed to disclose this so soon... but at the same time, it gives some insights into how the story Masako told might relate to the upcoming sets and the story that ties in with them. It won't be too long before we get to that point in the TV series, and at that point the next wave of sets might be officially revealed so I can discuss some of these particular observations. Also, anyone want a wallpaper of the NRG Ninja from the LEGO Ninjago sets? Because I got one, and it looks great on my new laptop: Click here to visit the topic in the General Art forum! also jeez somebody post in the Ninjago: Master of Spinjitzu TV Series Discussion Topic already. It's been a week since anyone's posted there, and ten days since anyone other than me posted there! And new episodes have started airing again!

With my transfer to a new college this semester came a new laptop-- a MacBook Pro with a screen resolution of 1440x900. I spent a while looking for a good wallpaper for it (preferably a LEGO-related one), but I couldn't find any that particularly appealed to me, especially ones that would look good at this screen resolution. Finally I decided to make one myself.I put this together using this year's Ninjago character wallpapers as a background (Photoshopping multiple backgrounds together to remove the minifigure photographs and character names) and high-resolution CGI minifigure images from cache.LEGO.com as the foreground image (example source image).The NRG Ninja minifigures are amazing character designs, and pictures hardly do their elementally-charged metallic prints justice, but still there's something magical about shiny LEGO minifigure images, especially larger-than-life ones that truly let you take in every little detail. Click the image to view it in full size: And if anyone's curious, here's what it looks like on my desktop. I think I will be happy with this layout for quite a while!You are welcome to use this wallpaper yourselves. If you would prefer it in a different resolution (1440 pixels wide or smaller), just ask-- I still have the original Photoshop document with all the layers separated, so it will be no trouble to change the size or aspect ratio.

LEGO Ninjago New Episodes Resume This Wednesday!
Aanchir posted a blog entry in A Golden-Red Horizon
Didn't want to double-post in the Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu TV series topic, so figured I'd post it here to make sure the BZPower crowd knew to expect a new episode. If you've seen the trailer for this one (which aired during the LEGO Star Wars special The Empire Strikes Out), you know that this upcoming episode introduces the Stone Army as well as Also I have it on good authority that this next episode will start the plot moving along at a rather exciting pace. There's lots of good music to enjoy in the remaining half of this season, including a brilliant piece titled The Temple of Light which I encourage everyone to listen to-- it features Lloyd's leitmotif and is part of the not-yet-aired episode 23, "Island of Darkness"). Of course, we have good reason to believe that this season is the last one, but if things are brought to a fitting conclusion I will have no problems with this, and I look forward to seeing how things turn out. -
Okay so this is kind of a story, I guess. See, I don't care about the Ninjago story at all. I just like the spinners. It's really unfortunate that they're never in stock for very long. And even worse is there are so many greedy scumbags out there buying them all up to sell them online for outrageous prices. I am NOT paying eighty-eight dollars for NRG Jay. Just sayin'.
