hello everyone this is diesel not one of the big sets for season nine hunted for
lego ninjago let me go ahead and distribute some of these figures in and
about the diesel not vehicle and give you a good look at its features and
details now this to me does look like a little bit of a mess at first glance but
I feel like if you actually go through the process of building this or you
spend some time with it you'll start to understand what it's all about what
they're going for it believe this is supposed to be that Mad Max sort of
style you know and post pop post-apocalyptic world sort of cobbled
together Mean Machine it's sort of a half track like a reverse half track and
the rear tires are not the same size so the rear most ones are a fair amount
larger in diameter than the middle ones though of those wheels are the same size
there's a little bit of asymmetry from left to right and there's no semblance
of symmetry from front to back there are a lot of things you can do with this on
it and with it things that make sense things that aren't just forced action
features like for instance over here on this right side there's this crane and
it can be moved from side side and you can raise and lower the hook let's see
that's about as far down as it goes it's more of a I guess a grabber arm you can
open these up and close them use them to grab something but it's a simple
mechanism here to winch that up but you know it does something up top well this
gear is intended to be turned I'm so glad that it's not a bright red or
bright yellow thing just kind of fits into the scheme here it's for turning
that top turret around it goes a full 360 degrees and never stops there's
nothing to keep you from making it spin so there's no there's no string or
anything inside there to get wound up so you can rotate this around you can angle
this up and down a bit and that just has a spring-loaded shooter in it so it's
supposed to be kind of a ballista turret there
they have a total of three of those bolts those orange bolts included in the
set let me show you what's on the other side because there's another turret over
here as well it's supposed to be more of a spear shooter and it's just more of a
point defense thing doesn't turn quite as far mostly has that arc towards the
fronts a little bit more than a 90 degree arc that's supposed to be a
ladder to get up there has another spring-loaded shooter built into it this
one can be angled up and down but as you see the the jumper here starts to get
pulled up so if you want to angle that frequently I recommend just leaving that
jumper piece out right now it's just helping to keep everything a little bit
more secure as it is this is actually a print on this dish here and that turns
when you turn the gear from the other side going with the turret up above and
before I start to move forward again all this is a thing this comes down that's
interesting so it can be used to drop something off or pick something up and
in this case all of this is something that can be trucked off or picked up
it's a mobile jail well trap style jail something like that I think this is a
new piece for this net part here in the black color most recent version of it
and this works pretty well this can hold three figures inside you can open up
both sides like that's pretty easy to get it to be connected to the thing see
some bright colors just inside there they're a little bit a little bit off
from the overall scheme but it's not too bad see a little bit of the mechanism I
think that's actually cool to see a little bit of the mechanism on something
of this style and then this also comes out this is a whole weapons rack and
there are a number of new molds included here the sickle I don't even know what
that double bladed thing is supposed to represent this is more of a side here
than new short blade new medium blades pretty cool stuff they just give you a
whole bag and you'll see a few more of those with the figures when I look at
those more closely but these ones that are attached to the hilts here have
short bar ends very stubby which make them
good for making custom weapons like you can take two of this blade and take off
them the bar from there make it double-sided they're just good good food
for customization and you can just take this out and display it somewhere either
all the way like this as part of a wall or set it up like that to have a little
bit more shape but it just stores away inside of here nicely in the center mass
of the vehicle there's a another area that can be affected that can be changed
you can open this up so two things you can do here you can open up these sides
and then you can have some seated figures that you can place here or you
could bring these out all together if they look really cool and with that the
kind of teeth they're being able to rotate it feels like it could claw
something up be used as a defensive weapon or something I'm not sure they
don't really position this as an additional thing to play with but it
looks like it's it's meant to do something more than they say I mean at
least these can be used this kind of guards to hold a figure in but
unfortunately there's not enough space to make figures sit if these doors are
gonna close up all the way I don't know definitely play around with that a
little bit if you get this set but at the very least you end up with a
platform here in the center you put a bunch of figures around that four-point
defense and there's also one additional detail I don't know if it's intended to
be opened up but you can open this up here and see a little bit of engine kind
of air inlet action going on there and some engine detail down beneath a little
farther forward there are a couple of floodlights here or searchlights those
going to be rotated and turned up so I can face just about anywhere give some
additional additional you know viewing power for the thing although they're not
able to really shine forward but one of the reasons to get them to angle back is
to open up the whole cockpit section here which is actually not that useful
it just holds one single figure in there I believe you can make a second figure
sit back there I only have a couple of studs maybe you can even figure out a
way to get three in there but they don't make it easy for you
there's no console or steering control or anything in there but it's so far
down in there I'm okay with the level of detail in there but would have been
better if they had made it a little easier to accommodate multiple figures
down in that position and then this is kind of a turbine entry or just a fan
box and that that is really nice when this gets closed up because that just
fits in that space really well there is one major disappointment about this
diesel not for me that is rolling rolling rolling rolling doesn't really
roll at the front the tracks I have just spoke about this in a recent review and
a completely different theme that a lot of toys that have tracks don't work very
well the tracks at least to themselves don't work very well and that's the case
here they actually do give us a generous number of little rubber pads to insert
into these treads so every other treads segment has a piece of rubber stuck in
it for attraction but it's just too tight they should have given more links
or just change the geometry a little bit because this is not loose enough to
allow it to to work on on hard surfaces the nija in this set are obviously on
the Left J in the middle Zane and on the right awkward teenage facial hair whoo
he's growing so fast why is his head hair white already and why is his facial
hair still black that's that's weird he's funny-looking notice that the
katana for J and for whoo same setup for each feature two pieces so you actually
have a brand new katana blade piece with just a short tang basically not even a
full hilt built into the mold for it so that's a brand new piece there that
allows you to add your own hilt onto it and J over here also has this sickle
that's a brand mold right there the sickle and chain a
weapon that's known as kusarigama might be pronouncing it wrong sorry but it's
it's a sickle and chain basically and I think all of these look pretty good that
way and get this rotated around obviously I need to remove some stuff so
you see some more details excellent alternate faces for Jay and Wu no
alternate face for Zane because they need to show the port on the back that
will work much better when he has his hairpiece on unfortunately there's no
hairpiece included for Zane nor for Jay I wish they would change that and start
including those with with these sets it's only one piece per characterization
cost that much extra but there's a better look at the main faces there and
obviously wu has just found some clothing in the realm that they've been
transported to go again he's been growing very quickly so he needed to
basically find whatever he could on the bad guy side here on the left is the
boss man iron Baron with his staff he has a shield blade there another new
piece that's intended to represent a tanto blade a traditional Japanese tanto
not American tanto style it's more common amongst Westerners but his hand
is intended to represent a cyborg arm robotic arm basically and so that's
actually his hand there at the end it's not part of a separate weapon or
anything it's kind of kind of long kind of sticks out but again pretty good
details here on the right is skull breaker whose gist's yeah just a
henchman I tried to put a lot of detail into the torso there I feel kind of
needs just another piece but he is one of the least armored bad guys in this
entire series so you know they have to have a little bit of a range the the
kind of neck armor face guard neck guard single pauldron piece that's used there
on iron Bell on the Baron is a reversible piece
and you will see that reversed in just a moment let me take once again some of
this stuff off so no alternate phases for either of these but you see a
similar level of detail between the two torso prints not the highest level of
detail that they've done kind of a little bit more cartoony and some things
that they've done in the recent past so not that great there but there are there
their main phases and do note that the EXO force handpiece for the Baron is in
orange there don't believe I've seen that in orange before there are two of
those included in the set correction there are three of those included in the
set because a heavy metal there on the right has one on his chain rifle they
call that weapon has the semi transparent orange chain attached to it
doesn't actually shoot but looks interesting and at least it's a weapon
that you actually build up yourself and on the left is a character called muzzle
on each of these you see that that piece though showing you on the baron reversed
around so this is the other way that can be applied I think it looks equally good
either way works out just fine notice that the prints are the same
between these two for the torsos and hips and the legs the differences are in
the accessories and the head pieces with the headpiece for muzzle on the left
being identical to the one that you saw for skull breaker one last very
important inclusion in this set is not really a figure but it's kind of a
stand-in for a figure it's kind of an armor stand I guess you would say statue
that is set up with some of the new dragon armor and also a dragon weapon
the shield is a brand new print as a printed piece there it is set up as an
actual shield so it can be easily held in the hand of a figure got the dragon
bones sword behind there let me actually remove the shield so that you can see
the sword and the shield has the gold color behind
it's actual plastic color this is dual moulded with a bit of marbling of the
tan and silver together got that nice dragon head hilt piece which looks
fantastic to me it's my favorite piece I believe in this entire set and then the
dragon plate armor piece that's mostly covering up the shoulders in the dragon
armor helmet this does a great job also of highlighting the differences in the
two gold colors you have the more traditional or longer-lasting pearl gold
color and we've had for quite a while used for the helmet there but then the
armor piece below the chest armor piece as the most recent golden that is less
orange it's not quite as bright it's a little bit more of a true gold hue but
it's not as shiny so I don't know I actually like the slightly darker one a
little bit better it's just it's just closer to the actual color of gold but
then it doesn't have as much metallic flake in it or them time flayed it flake
is at least at least thinner or smaller pieces but again really nice sculpting
with the dragon head piece that's built into that of course these are
collectibles you'll be able to get more with different sets and you can put them
on whatever figures you like so what about price and value well looking at
just the numbers it looks pretty reasonable to me actually especially
based on our price to part ratio basis there are some small pieces but there's
a larger than normal number of large pieces here so that brings in even more
objective value I do feel like the entire vehicle doesn't feel to me a 100
or 110 dollars us large but it is pretty dense there's a lot of detail in it and
there are a lot of things as you can do with it so it kind of makes sense if
they had made a $110 set of this you know
five years ago or maybe even ten ten years ago it probably would have had a
similar sized vehicle but it would have been very Hollow wouldn't have done very
much and then they would have had additional builds that would have made
it feel a little bit larger so all things are kind of relative in in that
sense I think the figures are pretty good I'm not entirely impressed with the
the graphic design work done for the hunters for this season it's just this
is not up to par I feel with the current state of the art for Lego I think that
the ninja just get much better work done for their prints the stickers in this
set I think are perfectly fine and there aren't too many of them the action
features in general work pretty well or integrated pretty well do wish that you
can put more people into the cockpit that definitely feels like a Miss and
then this platform back here just do you hate to do something with those spikes
they seem really cool to me but they those combined with the doors limit the
amount of space in here when everything is closed up so I do recommend a little
bit of customization to open that up so you can store people in here or store
cargo in here what are the two definitely could have some better use of
space and you can make that happen fairly easily but overall I do feel like
the the value here is pretty good this is a proper playset this is something
that kids can really be proud of I think the color scheme and general mix of
things may turn some people off just at initial sight but if you give it a
chance if you really look at what you get here and hopefully I've I've shown
enough of that in this video I think it'll it'll convert some initial
skeptics but then you know some folks just won't like it ever and that's
perfectly fine there's nothing wrong with that it's definitely not a type of
design and theme that everybody is gonna like but overall I think Lego has done a
pretty good job with with this as a toy playset oh oh except for of the
that's definitely a miss if there's if there's one thing that I would call out
hasn't miss here it's it's that things that are supposed to roll should roll
things are supposed to turn should turn that's that's kind of a must so yeah you
got a ding the designer for that one otherwise though pretty good let me know
in the comments though what you think about this feel free to disagree with my
own opinions as long as you do it respectfully it's all good thank you
very much for watching and I will bring you the next video as soon as I can bye
for now
you
