Since the Ninja Bike Chase set from 2016, it seems like LEGO just continues to release more and more two-bike sets, with this one being the fourth so far. Because it's not really anything new that we haven't seen before, many people have decided against getting this set, and my opinions were very similar until picking this up.

As the Ninjago Legacy wave goes, this set is a remake of - not one - but two different sets from 2012 (to an extent.) Kai's Blade Cycle, which was originally one set on its own, and Zane's Snowmobile, which was a side build included in the Fangpyre Truck Ambush set.

The Side Builds

The set also includes a handful of side builds to help really set up a scene, the first and largest one being a tall lamp post similar to the one in Ninjago City Chase. It has a nice sticker on one of the road signs, and there's a translucent lime green chain attached that the Serpentine can use to....trip the bikes? I'm not really sure.

The next side build is a small shrine holding the Sword of Fire for Kai, which is the same piece we've gotten for it since 2011. It includes the snake pieces we got in the Hands of Time wave recolored in purple, which is an awesome inclusion.

The last two builds are a small crate holding a single LEGO dynamite piece, and the other build is one of the Spinjitzu rods that are included in some of the other sets, like Monastery of Spinjitzu. It's actually really fun to play around with, especially when you put one of the seperately sold Spinjitzu spinners on it.

Kai's Blade Cycle

As a bike that really didn't look much different from Mr. E's bike from Street Race of Snake Jaguar, Kai's newly remade Blade Cycle actually is a great build that easily surpassed his previous bike from Ninja Bike Chase. It's eye-catching, it's sleek, it's well-designed, and it drives great. This remake of the Blade Cycle also includes more black, gold, and orange than the original, which I really appreciate since I always felt like the 2012 version almost had too much red. It's play feature is similar to the original - press something, and blades on both sides of the bike jut out, except here it's much more practical, and simply looks better. When all the blades are extended, it makes sort of an X shape, and simply look amazing. Say what you want about this bike, but it is NOT a poor remake by any means.

Zane's Snowmobile

As for the remake that the majority of people actually do prefer over the original, Zane's Snowmobile is simply so great. It's a bit larger now, more accurate to its size in the show, and has a lot more detail. (though some of it does come from stickers) It's major color scheme is white, gold, blue, and black. I'm glad they kept the ice element piece on the back for the back of the seat. Speaking of seating, however, Zane doesn't actually sit on the snowmobile. He stands, and holds on to the handlebars. The main feature of the bike are stud shooters on each side of the snowmobile, which aren't anything amazing.

Minifigures

Starting with the Fire Ninja himself, Kai is not exclusive to this set by any means. He comes in four other sets: Spinjitzu Kai, Monastery Training, Cole's Earth Driller, and Monastery of Spinjitzu. Even despite him being the most common ninja in this wave, he still has some great torso and leg printing. His suit gives me a lot of Kai DX vibes, which is so nice. His hood, like the other ninja's, is in the new 2019 mold, and it looks great in his two shades of red. His accessory is really just the Sword of Fire, but he may be unarmed if you prefer to keep the sword attached to the shrine. I really wish he had new facial printing.

Zane, the Ninja of Ice, is significantly less common than Kai, as he only comes in two other sets: Spinjitzu Zane, and Monastery of Spinjitzu. His Legacy suits is one of my favorites, with my favorite part being the X design on his torso with the golden dragon printed across. This is also the first time in a while in the TV universe that we've gotten a Zane minifigure with no titanium on him. His accessories are his Shurikens of Ice, which are molded in the 2015 design. Really wish they had given him new facial printing, or at least included his Snake Jaguar head to avoid including his creepy smile face from the movie.

Spitta was one of my first Serpentine minifigures, and so I have a lot of nostalgia getting him here. He also is included in The Ultra Dragon set. He now has more armor and padding on, which isn't really something the Serpentine had back in 2012. His head printing is, from what I can tell, the same, and he has the same leg printing as Lasha. His weapon is a scythe.

Lasha, as I said, has the same leg printing, but is still a really cool figure. He is also included in Jay's Storm Fighter and The Ultra Dragon. His face printing is a bit...interesting, but still a nice change, and his torso printing is really well done as well. His weapon is a dagger.

Final Thoughts

Overall, this set was one that I didn't expect much from and yet I enjoyed a lot when I was done building. The figures, while none being exclusive, are still really nice, especially since the only other way to get Spitta is in a larger, much more expensive set. Kai's Blade Cycle is an obvious improvement for me, and the same can be said for Zane's Snowmobile. This probably holds the title of best bike set for me, and I would definitely recommend picking this up, unless you're already planning on getting the bigger sets and you don't care much for bikes. In that case, I would hold off on getting this one.
