New Lego "blade Cycle" (Ninjago) 9441

Liam saw the new LEGO set 9441 and loved it instantly.  Already a huge fan of Kai, and the color red, Liam was quite excited to put this new LEGO bike together.  The minifig of Kai is pretty cool.  The thing that goes on his back to hold the swords is sweet, and I love the shoulder things too.  Unfortunatly, the bike isn't that amazing.  I was particularly unimpressed with the front wheel.  Even Liam recognized it's lack of stability.  Thankfully with a little clever engineering it wasn't too hard to strengthen.





The snake staff is cool.  It comes with some very interesting pieces I've never seen before.  They're like 1x1 round studs, but they're tiles (no stud on top).  Pretty interesting.

Liam and I watched the new LEGO Ninjago short yesterday on Cartoon Network up at Liam's cousin's house.  Pretty awesome.

For $20, the bike is reasonable but not amazing.  A not so strong front wheel (oh, and TONS of technic pieces) made it a little less fun that I was hoping for.  Thankfully, the Kai minifig is pretty cool.

Enjoy!
