If you have read previous articles, you may have some idea about the new LEGO Ninjago EVO themes - unlike sets based on the plot of the Ninjago cartoon, these EVO products open up a new storyline , allowing yourself to use more imagination. LEGO Ninjago 71767 Ninja Dojo Temple is the largest of this wave of EVO sets, with 1,394 pieces. It is expected to sell for 999 yuan and will be available on January 1, 2022. Come on, let's explore this new ninja base with The Brothers Brick and see what's unique about it.

The EVO-themed package packaging design is different from the past. The background It has been reduced to a line drawing style, low saturation, and is no longer a photo of a real scene. This makes the model theme more eye-catching. This change may be influenced by the black theme of the 18+ set. It was also mentioned in yesterday’s tweet that LEGO officials are very satisfied with the current black packaging because they can highlight the main body of the model. Vote in the article It can also be seen that players also recognize this style. Therefore, the design changes of Ninjago's new suit should be related to this, at least it looks good so far. You can see the front angle of the Ninja Dojo Temple on the front of the box. In front of the door, the EVO Flame Mecha is confronting the Ram Car. The style is very cartoonish, and the action lines behind the characters and the dust clouds under their feet make the picture quite dynamic.

In comparison, the back of the packaging box is much more satisfactory. The model with a white background looks like the main product image on Lego's official website, and along the bottom of the box are photos showing the various play functions and detailed photos of the set. Next to the LEGO logo is a Nia minifigure holding a flag - this flag is officially called the "Wisdom" flag, and the text next to the minifigure says "Upgrade to complete the mission." Well, as for the specific mission, it all depends It's your imagination.

There is some content about the EVO theme on the side of the package - text like "Training, Progress, Rewards", and a yellow banner that says Ninja characters saying "Train and Advance".

There are 12 numbered parts bags inside the box.

There is also a separately packaged instruction manual, 296 pages, and a sticker.

The stickers are large and include some good artistic designs, as well as ninja words that need to be translated by yourself - one more language and more There is a way.

There are some new molds in the set, which are currently unique to the NINJAGO EVO series. Some, here in new colors. There are red and black breastplates, as well as new orange "fixed hinge" elements, as well as new whistle-like armor parts. A new 1x1 round light panel emitter also appears in gold.

Also worth noting are these new curved 1x2 ramp tiles, which come in reddish brown and white. Finally, there are two new printed elements, the 2x2 round glossy panel has also appeared in several other EVO sets, but the 2x3 glossy panel with the Dojo Temple pattern is exclusive.

The building of the model starts with the bad guy’s vehicle. On the LEGO website, this vehicle is called the "Batterer Car." This is a relatively simple build, but there are some SNOT tricks to make the process a little more interesting. The big wheels are connected with mechanical pins and the hubcaps have very dangerous spikes.

For a "ram car", it does not actually have a hammer structure, but there is a drill-like thing at the front. , the huge front wheel makes it look very dangerous. Orange and cyan embellishments give the dark car body some vitality.

From the back you can see the gripper located under the 1x2 cyan cheese brick. Although the instruction manual does not indicate its use, you can It should be possible to clip on some kind of weapon.

At this point in the manual, a full-page story illustration appears, showing the Python Destroyer chasing Kai. This makes the building process instantly fun, and the illustrations are really nice to look at.

The story continues, Kai quickly ran to open his EVO flame mecha, Similar to the powerful mecha praised by 71761. But unlike that mecha, there is no EVO upgrade option for you here. What you build is a complete mecha. The core of the mech is designed to hold a minifigure and is protected by a cool new chest plate.

The mech's arms and legs use new "fixed hinge" elements, which are not true movable hinges, but they do give The vivid form of the arms and legs. The Flame Mech has a shoulder armament package, including a new 1x1 round light panel launcher.

The finished Flame Mecha looks really good, with a warm color scheme of red, orange and gold, the "bonus" of the set The flag was mounted on a pole behind the mech.

From the back, the mecha is a bit boring, but it feels more textured than the version I liked, mainly because of the 2x2 glossy panel on the back. Looks smoother.

So... why don’t you run away~!

Here is a comparison of the two mechas. They are similar to the submarines in the ocean theme of last season. Their basic designs are very similar, but they have There are enough differences to make it feel like more than just a reskinned mecha.

Next we will build the main hall of the Ninja Dojo Temple. The first part to be put together is a small restroom on the ground floor. 2x4 rounded light panels are used to provide a smooth base for the curved staircase. There is also a nougat-colored spider lurking under the stairs. After it is put together, you can barely see it. It's up.

You can still see spiders if you look closely, but you are more likely to notice the hot and cold water pipes and the wash basin. There are also spiders in the sink. There is a 1x1 blue transparent round particle, representing water flow.

The restrooms are in the middle of the first floor, followed by other structures that extend the dojo to its full width. The staircase on the front of the building has a very nice and vivid curve, depicting some non-standard angle steps.

There is an entrance and a ninja mask display stand on one side of the dojo, similar to the one carried in 71756 Underwater Reward.

Above the display stand, there is a flat-screen TV playing a very interesting advertisement. The ninja language here translates to "Street Ninja: Coming Soon." Is this a preview of the next wave of Ninjago suits? The identity of the red and white ninja is really curious.

The roof will be built next on the first floor, or the ground on the second floor.

Opposite the TV room is a broken wall section, apparently intended to be used with the ram car as a way for the basilisk army to break into the dojo. One way. When you don't touch it, it maintains its shape very well, but when you hit it with a ram car, it falls apart immediately. Thumbs up to the designer for this solid yet loose structure.

There are two side rooms on the second floor, Master Wu's tea room and armory. There is a very useful sticker in the tea room - the Ninjago alphabet. Considering the amount of ninja text present in the NINJAGO set, this is a great way to help new fans find various Easter eggs. In the arsenal there is a small 1x2 sticker that says "Teamwork".

The large banner on the front window has the letters "J K N C Z L", which are Jay, Kai and Nya. , Cole, Zane and Lloyd.

On both sides of the front door are these two jars, one of which contains a mysterious donut. This is an interesting easter egg that can only be assembled The place that only the observer will discover is a bit like the dagger hidden in the urn in the 71735 Elemental Arena.

At this point, the dojo began to really take shape. Each room has a very clear gameplay function, and each space is easily accessible from the back of the dojo.

The dojo's front door is a wooden plank style, appearing here for the first time in red. The door handle is a golden dart, which also prevents people from opening the door... Red lanterns hang under the dark green eaves, and thanks to the clever use of weapons, the eaves also get some golden decoration.

The third floor consists of a single room. There are no stairs or anything like that leading here, but I guess ninjas don’t need this. Just fly over the eaves and walk over the wall.

The last room is the altar of the temple, but it feels a bit unlucky here. Master Wu... His sticker portrait is Hang in the middle.

On both sides of the ancestral hall are more golden weapons, and the multi-story buildings also make the PK game more graphic.

But there’s danger when the fighting spills over to the rooftops, where there’s a spilled teacup—and action included with DC collectible minifigures Brackets appear together, along with newspapers that read "NGC News" and "Basilisk!"

There is a small storage room on the roof opposite. There are roller skates in a crate and an umbrella in the box. There is a small sticker on the 1x2 glossy panel with the image of Master Wu. What is this? Game console?

The last area in the dojo is Pixal's studio, which has various LCD screens and readouts, a control panel and big red buttons. And some joysticks. On the middle screen it says "Mecha Power" and on the right it says "PIXAL".

The studio is attached to the TV room with a clip and rotated to be flush with the wall.

Outside, there is a training area, connected to the main building through some red roller coaster tracks. There is also an autumn tree in the small training area. small tree.

The back of the box shows the "Training" aspect - an area for Nya to practice spraying water to take out three Torch flame. The flames are simply placed on upside-down 1x1 cones, so they can easily be knocked down by her water powers, or rolled under tables and couches.

The assembled dojo is an attractive set, with red and dark The green color scheme is bright and eye-catching without being too complicated. The bridge leading to the training island looks great, with lots of details throughout the building to catch your eye.

From the back, all gameplay areas are easily accessible and there is plenty for the ninja to do. The only problem might be that the room with the collapsed walls lacked some decoration. Maybe the ninjas had foreseen the impending invasion and moved things out in advance.

By the way, this set is designed to be combined with 71764 Ninja Training Ground, but so far LEGO has not shown 71764. , so I am quite curious about the combination between them.

The set comes with eight minifigures, two basilisk villains, four ninjas, Pixal and Master Wu. Both Pixal and Master Wu are exclusive to this set.

The two villains are the basilisk warrior Cobra Mechanic (Cobra Mechanic) and the Boa Destructor (Boa Destructor), which are common in the EVO series Snake-themed enemies. This basilisk head design first appeared in 2019's Pyro Whipper and Char figures, but appears here in a reversed metallic black and orange dual-mode color scheme.

The Anaconda Destroyer comes with armor and shoulder armor, while the Cobra Mechanic has a backpack-style shoulder brace with two bits on it. Both figures have printed designs on the legs and front and back bodies.

Ninja types include Kai, Lloyd, Nya, and Kou. None are exclusive, but all are new versions of the EVO theme.

All four ninjas have a new dual-mold mask, as well as new designs for the legs and front and rear body prints.

But the facial expressions are all regular versions, which helps keep the character recognisable.

Master Wu and Pixal are both exclusive versions of this set. Pixal is the standout, though, with her look made up of a new print and a new silver hair accessory.

Both figures have new leg print designs and double side printed bodies. The back of Pixal says "Pixal". Pixal's head is a new print, and Master Wu's expression is the same as in his many previous appearances.

LEGO offers almost every ninja weapon as a little bonus for Ninjago fans.

The LEGO Ninjago EVO series is an emerging model of this theme, independent of the traditional sets, LEGO is trying to make them new collectible products, including "mission reward" flags and more. The gameplay features of the set itself are unremarkable, but there are plenty of scenarios where you can let your imagination run wild. Building the dojo is fascinating, and translating the ninja language on the stickers presents an extra challenge. The price is 1,000 yuan for 1,394 pieces, plus eight minifigures (two of which are exclusive), new molds and new colors, and the price/performance ratio is pretty good. As a starter set for new NINJAGO fans, it would be a good choice, but of course, old fans should also be interested in it.

LEGO Ninjago 71767 Ninja Dojo Temple, contains 1394 pieces, is expected to sell for 999 yuan, is 32 cm high, 54 cm wide, and 24 cm deep cm and will be available on January 1, 2022.
