LEGO™ brings a new addition to its Ninjago™ ninja-based line this holiday season with the Lightning Dragon Battle™ limited-edition set, and this exciting addition to the popular LEGO™ series is expected to be one of the top holiday toys for 2011!

About LEGO™ Action Figures

LEGO™ has been experimenting with action figure-based themes almost since its inception in 1963, and has marketed some of the most famous theme-based character sets in history, including “Pirates of the Carribean,” “Speed Racer,” “Thomas the Tank Engine,” and “Sponge Bob Square Pants.”

With the inclusion of the Ninja collections, LEGO™ can be marketed to a specialized audience has also increased it age-range interest. Many adults, as well as children, enjoy collecting LEGO™ sets and creating the characters.

About LEGO™ Ninjago

The Ninjago™ line was launched in 2011 as a change from the older Ninja series, with additions and improvements. LEGO™ removed the “Shogun” and “Bandit” characters, and introduced the “Skeleton Army.” Vehicles are also included in this incarnation. The Ninjago™ line is a continuation of the entire LEGO™ ninja series, which involves a complex story line about Sensei Wu, the “good” Sensei who must protect his town from invasion by his evil brother. Each set enacts a different scene in this drama, and uses futuristic and fantastic figures to tell the story.

What comes with the About LEGO™ Ninjago Lightning Set?

Four mini-figures are included with this set: Sensei Wu, Kruncha, Jay, and Frakjaw. Also included are a skull chopper pilot, a spinner, two spears, a sword, a silver mace, two golden spears, a golden blade, nunchucks of lightning, and a staff. A helicopter, four inches wide and 10 inches tall, and the Lightning Dragon, 18 inches wide and 19 inches tall, are assembled from the pieces. Spaces are included for the action figures to fit into both the helicopter and the dragon. Lighting Dragon’s jaws are moveable and spit out lighting balls, and he has poseable wings, limbs, and a tail. A total of 645 pieces are included in this set.

Who is the LEGO™ Ninjago Lightning Set designed for?

Designed for children between eight and 14, the finished model, when assembled, is quite awesome. Even adults may find this puzzle challenging, and may enjoy working on it with their children. The parts, as with all LEGO™ sets, are interchangeable within this set and with other LEGO™ sets, so children may enjoy exchanging parts with their other sets, particularly the other Ninjago™-themed toys. Due to choking hazards from small parts, the set is not recommended for children under eight years of age.

How much is the LEGO™ Ninjago Lightning Set?

Like most of the limited-edition, high-demand sets produced by LEGO™, the cost is significant compared to cheaper brands. With its $79.99 suggested retail price, this toy is quite an investment if bought for a child who does not collect the LEGO™ themed sets. However, for this price, you can be assured you will be getting a quality set, and if it is bought for a child with an interest in the Ninjago™ line, you can be sure it will be a huge hit.

Where can you buy a LEGO™ Ninjago Lightning Set?

Because the LEGO™ Ninjago™ Lightning Dragon Battle™ set is predicted to be one of the hottest items on sale for Christmas 2011, it is important to plan early if you want one in time for the big day. You should begin checking out your local papers for Black Friday flyers and Black Friday sales as soon as possible, and make notes of the opening times for each store. Retailers will vary widely with their opening hours and it is important that you have a clear picture of which stores open first. In order to get the hottest items, you will need to be at the stores very early, preferably at opening time. You can also visit your favorite retailers’ websites to see about coupons and discounts which may be available at the Black Friday sales.

You can also visit websites to see if the LEGO™ Ninjago™ Lightning Dragon Battle™ set is available in an online Black Friday sale. Many retailers and online distributors have pre- or post-Black Friday sales as well, in the form of “Cyber Thursday” on Thanksgiving Day, or a “Cyber Weekend” encompassing not only Black Friday but the Saturday and Sunday after, as well. Some stores may offer savings as much as a week before Thanksgiving if you are buying online. You should be cautious, of course, that supplies are available for the retailers you are shopping; many have limited quantities available online, and those will soon be exhausted. It is better not to have to backorder items which are in high demand, as there is little guarantee you will have them by the holidays!
