US Retailer Kmart has posted images and details of three of the 2014 Ninjago sets a little earlier than they probably should have.
The set descriptions indicate that these new enemies are cyborgs of some description. This confirms early rumours of a robotic enemy. The images also show a new look for the ninjas themselves – with flowing locks and just a simple face mask. The ninjas look like they are fresh off the set of a shampoo commercial.
Here are the details of the three leaked sets
Thunder Raider
Battle the Nindroids with Jay’s Thunder Raider featuring attack/speed modes, hidden flick missiles plus Cole’s Earth Mech and Techno-Blade.
Team up Cole and Jay against the Nindroids with Thunder Raider, a versatile Ninja vehicle full of hidden surprises. Attach Cole’s Earth Mech to the back of Jay’s lightning off-roader. Engage speed mode and power effortlessly over rough terrain with the high-grip front tank treads and huge rear wheels. When the Nindroid attacks with its double laser cannon, detach Cole’s Earth Mech and fight back using the golden sword blasters. Transform the awesome Thunder Raider into attack mode to shoot hidden missiles and reload until the Ninjas are victorious! Includes 3 minifigures with weapons: Cole, Jay and a Nindroid.
OverBorg Attack
Escape on the Green Ninja cycle in OverBorg Attack with all-terrain tank bike, mech chair, spinning saw blades, jump ramp and 2 minifigures.
Cyrus Borg has been transformed by technology into OverBorg, and is on a mission to control New Ninjago City and capture the Green Ninja. Help the Green Ninja escape to safety on his super-slick cycle with golden blades. The OverBorg has powered up in his mech chair and is giving chase on his all-terrain tank bike, churning up the road with the two fast-spinning, slicing circular saw blades. Evade the tank bike’s lasers then accelerate onto the ramp and soar over OverBorg’s fearsome machine! Includes 2 minifigures with weapons and accessories: OverBorg and Lloyd.
Kai Fighter
Put the heat on General Cryptor and grab the Techno-Blade with Kai Fighter with 2 flick missiles, jet engines and speed mode wings.
Kai has taken over a civilian vehicle and used his Techno-Blade to turn it into an awesome red and gold Ninja Fighter! Take off and weave between the skyscrapers of New Ninjago City with Kai in the cockpit. Shoot the gold-tipped flick missiles into the path of the evil General Cryptor and evade blasts from his ground-to-air laser rocket launcher. Defeat General Cryptor then flip the wings back to engage speed mode and zoom away. Includes 2 minifigures with weapons and an accessory: Kai and General Cryptor.
