Friends who collect plastic LEGO capsules, here's a new one Under planned in the LEGO Ninjago range: the reference 853899 Lloyd's Kendo Training Pod, already online on the LEGO Shop and which will be sold for € 8.99 from January 1, 2019.

We find the lenticular image already present on the shell of other capsules already marketed. Inside the capsule, Lloyd is in Kendo gear with a sword. The training mask and the two daggers are stored in the young ninja's locker.

For latecomers, LEGO always sells two other capsules on the same theme with black Kendo outfit and storage compartment for training accessories: the references 853758 Jay's Kendo Training Pod (8.99 €) and 853759 Cole's Kendo Training Pod (8.99 €).

Zane and Kai are also available in two other pods that were offered by LEGO on various occasions in 2017 and 2018: 5005230 Zane Kendo Training Pod et 5004916 Kai's Dojo Pod.

This week, LEGO is bringing back our group offers of sets with a variable reduction on the public price of the lot depending on the range concerned. These offers are valid until December 16.

Nothing very interesting, amazon does largely as well if not better on these references purchased at retail, unless you want to take the opportunity to offer you the set 40293 Christmas Carousel currently offered from 85 € of purchase without restriction of range (and still in stock):

The previous edition dates from 2014, it was time to update it: publisher Dorling Kindersley announces a new version of the LEGO Ninjago Visual Dictionary for the month of September 2019.

We go from 96 pages for the 2014 edition to 128 pages to be able to integrate the sets and minifigs marketed since the publication of the first version and the book will this time be accompanied by a minifig announced as truly exclusive.

In 2014, it was Zane's minifigure in version Rebooted that came with the first edition of the Visual Dictionary. It was not exclusive to the book, it could be found in a set marketed the same year (70726 Destructoid).

We do not know for the moment which character will accompany this new-edition of the encyclopedia and we must be satisfied with the provisional visual above.

Under the name "Legacy", the LEGO Ninjago range will pay tribute in 2019 to the first seasons of the animated series and to a few sets released several years ago.

As with the barely modified re-editions of several boxes in the LEGO Star Wars range, fans who wish to complete their collections and who missed these sets which have now become difficult to find for a reasonable price will find something to do here:

If you hesitate to invest in the French version of the second Ninjago volume of the collection "Build Your Own Adventure", today I offer you a quick overview of what this big box has to offer for € 26.95.

As for the other titles in the collection, we find here the very thick cardboard box in which slip the 80-page booklet and the cardboard insert which contains the 72 pieces supplied. This illustrated sub-packaging which houses the bag of parts could possibly serve as a background for a staging.

On the menu, what to assemble a hover-bike "exclusive" which transforms into a motorbike and a minifig of Nya which is not unpublished, it is the one delivered in the set 70641 Ninja Nightcrawler released this year, the skirt and the epaulet less. If you are a complete collector, know that the parts are delivered in a neutral sealed bag bearing the reference 11915.

The model to build is nice but nothing exceptional, it could also have been found in a large polybag sold for a handful of euros. Fortunately, this set has a little more to offer and the booklet is full of building ideas. I have scanned several pages for you so that you can get a more precise idea of ​​the content offered.

Please note, this is not a simple collection of assembly instructions, only those allowing to assemble the hover-bike de Nya are provided and for those who are wondering, they are really on the level of what LEGO offers in classic sets.

There is also a rather well-done little lexicon on two pages which summarizes the main elements of the LEGO bricks range. A little pedagogy never hurts.

The adventure of young ninjas unrolled as a common thread serves, as usual in this collection of books, as a pretext for the staging of mini-models that the youngest can try to reproduce with their inventory.

The book features many villains encountered by young ninjas over the seasons: Anacondra, Phantom Warriors, Sky Pirates, Vermillion and even Sons of Garmadon, almost everyone is there.

It is not always easy to analyze the mini-constructions presented, but a few exploded views allow us to better understand the complexity of some of the proposed assemblies. It is also an opportunity for the youngest to call on an adult and therefore to share a moment with their children, nephews or nieces, for those who have them.

It is important to specify that all the mini-models presented have been validated by LEGO so that the techniques used and the level of difficulty are adapted to young audiences. We are obviously a little bit hungry with only 80 pages of text and (big) photos, especially when we see that this is all that is left of the thick starter set.

It is still in my opinion a good idea for a gift for a young fan of the Ninjago universe who will have already widely covered what LEGO offers and who is looking for new ideas to expand his diorama using this box set as a starting point for new creative constructions.

In the same collection, the publisher Qilinn, which is responsible for the localization in French of the works published by Dorling Kindersley, also has in its catalog several other boxes including a first volume based on the Ninjago universe and the first volume based on the 'Star Wars universe:
