4.0 out of 5 stars Nephew's birthday present November 20, 2011

By Spikepup

Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

My 5-yr-old nephew received this for his birthday and he loved playing with it. It was a bit complicated to put together because he lost 2 lego pieces, but we just modified it a bit and it went together well. I do have to say that it was surprisingly durable, but found that it would come apart in the same place numerous times (easy to put back together but sort of broke up his play). We just fixed it with gorilla glue LOL. Neat moving parts ... if you are mechanical and patient, I would highly recommend this because it really was a fun toy. If you don't like to put lego toys together, you might not want to buy this because his 8-yr-old sister who has put a few of these toys together before had a very hard time with it and needed my help.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Lego Ninjago addition January 1, 2012

We got this for my 8 (almost 9) year old and it took him about 2.5 to 3 hours to complete and he only asked for help once. He loves it and has been playing with it ever since and my 5 year old is super jealous and wants one for his own, so we'll buy another set for his b-day coming up. The price on Amazon is unbeatable at this time and it is a fantastic value for how many pieces this set has, as well as the size of the completed truck.

5.0 out of 5 stars My son's new favorite LEGO set! January 10, 2012

LEGO really seems to have a winner on its hands with these new LEGO Ninjago sets. All of the vehicles, creatures, and characters are colorful, and having actual named characters as part of your set theme, really adds to both the collectibility and theme storyline. These are much better (and more well-received) then the LEGO Ninja sets from a decade ago. I hear my son and his friends talking about these sets A LOT, and my son even used some of his own money to buy the book Lego Ninjago: Official Guide from the school book fair! My son doesn't usually enjoy reading, so the fact that he wanted this book badly enough to spend his own money on it really speaks volumes!

My son received this toy and the LEGO Ninjago Turbo Shredder 2263 for Christmas, this year, and he has really enjoyed both of them. They have taken the prominent top shelf position in his bedroom - reserved for his favorite things.

It took my son about 90 minutes to put this set together. Considering its size, this is about what I expected it to take. It is more complex than some LEGO sets, but he came to me only once for assistance, and it is far easier and less complex than many other LEGO sets he owns - especially the Mars Mission sets. (My son is 9, and I'd say ages 7-12 are about the perfect target market for this set.) Fully assembled, it looks really cool and stands about 8.5" high and is about 7.5" wide and 9" long. Unlike many LEGO sets with large wheels, this set actually comes with wheels that are a soft, rubber-like plastic. Whether or not these wheels will still be in good condition in 20 years (like the hard plastic wheels will), I don't know, but they look cool and are a nice upgrade.

The front of the truck looks like a giant skull, and thanks to its bouncy suspension, the truck looks as if it is chomping down on anything in its path - a feature sharde by some other skull vehicles, including the other one I mentioned above. The truck has a sort of skull-hand-launcher on the rear, which is powered by rubber bands. (Don't worry about possible injuries from this launcher, though. It shoots a total distance of about 12", if you're lucky!) The truck has some other cool features on it, like its hot rod engine that protrudes from the front hood, skull cages for ninja "prisoners," searchlights, and large spikes protruding from the wheel axles.

Overall, a really nice LEGO toy, though not one I'd recommend for kids ages 6 or under (and neither would the manufacturer). Looks cool, fairly easy to build, and fun to play with. Highly recommended to all boys who enjoy LEGO toys! My son has a birthday coming up soon, and Ninjago LEGO sets are at the top of his want list.
