Hapori Tohu Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Ninjago is heading into its second year in 2012, and that means we have more sets to review! Today xccj looks at 9441: Kai's Blade Cycle. It shows Kai, in a new outfit, driving a fiery motorbike as he chases down a new snake minifigure. Is this a set that will burn brightly in your collection, or will it just crash and burn? Read on to find out, and keep an eye opened for bonus content.

Mare Tranquillitatis Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Seems pretty good. I love the fact it's got lots of golden piece - gold is my favourite color - and Kai's armor is simply great.----- Lord of the Rings -----Titles: Dark Lord, Lord of Mordor, Lord of Gifts, Lord of Barad-Dûr, Lord of the Earth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNTOS Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I'm loving the ninjas' new armor/backpack pieces. The bike looks cool, too, and fifteen dollars isn't a bad deal for a set like that. Might pick it up if I see it.-TNTOS- Quote "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - Theodore RooseveltA Writerly BlogThe Tasty Library of Sugary Goodness(My Little BIONICLE: Friendship is Explosive Completed 01/05/14){The Shika Trilogy Omnibus Completed 03/31/14) (Review Topic)(In the End Completed 09/01/14) (Review Topic)The Biological Chronicle: (2001) (2002) (2003) (2004) (2005) (2006) (2007) (2008) (2009) (2010) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obsessionist Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I'm seriously considering buying this set, which is odd since I usually only buy System sets when they're on clearance. The red slopes and golden bits are just too good to ignore, and the price is pretty decent. I won't be getting the minifig packs, they're not my thing. Very helpful review.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 This set looks very cool. I like the design of the bike. Kai looks really good too.Thanks for the review, xccj!

ignika527 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I have not bought any ninjago sets yet, but that cycle looks interesting. I may have to expand my collection to another lego line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambi Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Looks cool, but Ninjago isn't my thing. Quote [my blog] [custom emotes] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanchir Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I got this set for Christmas and am very impressed. The overall look is mighty stunning, and the action feature is brilliant if a bit glitchy. I've found that you occasionally have to re-secure certain parts and make sure no parts are rubbing against each other that shouldn't be, since activating the action feature can occasionally nudge certain parts out of alignment. But if this is done, then the blades tend to flare out beautifully when the switch is pressed.Kai ZX is a great design. I was a little uncertain how I would like the new ninja designs after the very stylish but mostly identical designs from this year, but Kai and Jay ZX, at least, are wonderfully cohesive-looking. The new sword holster works brilliantly. As for Rattla, the Hypnobrai soldier included in this set, he's very nice looking, and has a lot of personality compared to Snappa, the red Fangpyre serpentine included in Jay's Storm Fighter.I don't have the Jay ZX booster pack, but it's awesome just by virtue of having a golden-bladed chainsaw. To quote Axe Cop, "It's beautiful."Overall, this was a very good review! Thanks so much for writing it and taking these pictures!

Takua Nui of GoAnimate Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Looks like a good set. I may consider picking it up. What does ZX mean? Quote Takua Nui of GoAnimate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherDragon Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I disagree with the reviewer about Ninjago losing all Japanese ties. It still retains some of it...if you look past the mist of tech in there. >.<It is a good set, but I'd get it for the minifigs, nothing else.
