Review: LEGO 70604 – Tiger Widow Island

February 14, 2016 By Jay 9 Comments

I’ve always regarded Ninjago as one of LEGO’s best themes in recent history and at times, I do regret not immersing myself heavily into it. I wouldn’t consider myself a huge fan of Ninjago – I’m quite selective with Ninjago sets that I purchase but I dabble every now and then with sets that have cool…

Review: Lego 70723 – Thunder Raider

December 18, 2013 By Jay 4 Comments

It’s been quite a while since I’ve built (or purchased) a Ninjago set. I’ve been a long time admirer of the theme but somehow have always preferred to spend my money on other themes such as Creator or licensed sets like Super Heroes or Lord of the Rings. When the news broke that Ninjago were Rebooting…

For #Ninjago fans, it doesn’t get much better than this. 71747 The Keeper’s Village is packed with value and is a great centerpiece to Season 14 – The Island.

I have a soft spot for location, or structure-based Ninjago builds, so The Keeper’s Village strikes that itch in the best of ways.

The jungle lair sets the scene and provides a rich backdrop that works really well as a small playset and display piece.

Combined with a very generous helping of 5 minifigures, there’s a ton of value and playability built into the set, especially the stone pillar which works remarkably well as a “big enemy” for the Ninjas to deal with – it very much gives off a “mini-boss in a video game vibe”.

The highlights for me would be Chief Mammatus and Thunder Keeper’s designs. As a big fan of the Islanders theme, I love that #LEGO could callback to those designs in a fresh new way, utilising the tech and innovation that’s now possible through minifigure design.

Whether you’re an adult fan looking for a set that’s a bit more kiddy, outlandish and fun, or you’re planning to buy this for a young child who wants an engaging playset, I can highly recommend 71747 The Keeper’s Village.

Rating and score: 4/5 ★★★★✰
