I love these ‘legacy’ sets. It’s a good way to get remastered sets, without paying hundreds on the originals.

Or bricklinging them takes a while and costs a lot just as trying to buy on Amazon or eBay. I was considering to buy the originals for nostalgia reasons but like you said they're to expensive. The majority of legacy sets are on par/better than the originals, only the golden dragon and the 4+ fire temple could be better.

Honestly I don’t think it looks too bad either, it has really nice wings and the cockpit is quite nice as well. If especially agree on the wings’ angle

The only bad thing about it IMO is the way you activate the function. Tilting down the nose and cockpit? Really? It also looks really dumb like that, but if you have it flat, it takes up too much space.
THIS CAME OUT 30 MINIUTES AFTER THE BAT-TRUCK REVIEW!! WOW! I'm really impressed Jang, and keep up the awesome work!
I kinda love the simplicity of the original, felt sleek and fast with a great function.

Ive been waiting for the new line of ninjago so glad he's reviewing them
I remember getting this set as a kid
This looks so good when displayed with the legacy Storm Fighter because they're both really funky looking jets and they're red and blue which is like the typical "Rival colors" I love it!
@evo_is_confused

I feel like the legacy storm fighter was executed better than this one
Having the original beside me so I could compare the designs better while watching the video, it feels like they just added more detail without any real rhythm or reason, and they have turned what used to be an incredibly sleek and fast looking vehicle into an awkward, messy hodgepodge of shapes and angles. A perfect example of that are the engine exhausts on either side, on the original they are just two very basic boxes but they only needed to be basic shapes it was the angling that made them distinct, by adding all the slopes and angles to the exhausts it's overstimulating and just becomes lost in the rest of the design.

@@josefo-oo4jl I totally agree with you about the Legacy line kind of being a flop. Honestly the only really good Legacy sets that have came out that have really been in my opinion good where are the monastery and the Earth driller. Those were a case where they did it well and they were even more show accurate which is exactly what I want from a line like this. Otherwise though a lot of these Legacy sets are very disappointing or very inaccurate and sloppy designs especially stuff like the new Thunder Raider set which doesn't look accurate to what was in the show. And Lloyd's jungle Raider which is way downgraded in size and doesn't look nearly correct. Overall most of legacy is pretty disappointing like I said except for the two sets I mentioned otherwise I wish it was better and more so accurate.

Totally agree. IMO this is one of the few Legacy sets that does not improve upon the original. The old set is a good example of less being more.

I agree with this 100%. It costs twice as more and has two times the pieces of the original, but all that just doesn't feel worthwhile.
Thanks Jang for reviewing!
I watched this show on and off when I was a kid. Always wanted the sets. Now I can have them. 😋
Been waiting for this!
It’s a great set and great video Jang 😃
I have the original one and this is a 100 times better
I can’t wait to get this for Christmas
Love these new type of reviews!
So I just checked out your review of the original and I've gotta say I prefer the original. Not only is the original cheaper but I feel like it just works better as what it's trying to be.

The original was cheaper 6 years ago
The transformation is cool - I like how the cockpit and the wings transform together. I wish the wings had more motion - perhaps starting parallel with the shape of the craft, and then going backwards into their V position. But still, it's a nice touch.
I'm definitely getting the Legacy Kai Fighter, I may try and mod the wings to go back
It also kinda reminds me of a Klingon ship 😀

Love the video budy great work
Thanks Jang I could not remember what it reminded of till you said bird of prey. Looks good.🤠
I can't wait I want this set
I saw the build first ! Love this set
I definitely love this new version😍
I think the main plus of the nose piece is stability. A single stud connection is incredibly prone to be knocked off.
I think this is a great set, but having played with the original, I can say that they just added more details for the sake of adding details. The fighter in the show didn't really look like this, but that's not the end of the world. What I dislike the most about this is that in the show, the fighter is not as stretched out. This one is just a bit too disproportionately long, and that really puts me off. The cockpit is also *way* too big. Great vid BTW. Really looking forward to you reviewing the season 13 sets!

Jang I idolize you and your love for lego your the best you always make my day
I had the old set and I love it
i cant wait to get this
It looks really close the Thrax's ship from Exo-Squad.
Is it possible to include the Brickset info at the start as well as the end of the video as you used to please? It helps to add context for making our own mind up if the set is good value as you go through the review. Thanks
That thing looks like it belongs in Super Dimension Fortress Macross, or Macross Plus
I think the form where the cockpit is angled down and the wingspan is slightly shorter is supposed to be landed mode, since it occupies less hangar space and makes acces easier then when it takes off the cockpit and fuselage will be completely straight then the wings spread out this is my idea on why they changed the feature asince I can't bare thinking that a jet would go super fast while the cockpit is angled down... It's just ridiculous.....
As far as the landing gear goes, the jet was capable of vertical takeoff/landing (in the show), so it's understandable as to why there isn't any proper landing gear. But great review as always, Jang!
Cool review! I don’t buy Ninjago much these days, but if I was still in the youth of my youth I could see myself buying this one for sure.
Who's happy *JANG* brought back the OG music?
I got this legacy version ages ago (uk) and I think it’s more clean as the 1st one had a big gap at the back
I don't like how they didn't remake the techno blades. Those were the main weapon for the ninja in that season.
I really like how you used your old songs
i want so see a legacy version of the ninjacopter and i would really love to see a legacy version of battle damaged zane
I'm kinda hoping that the x-1 will also get a legacy version, so I can have both original 2014 kai vehicles, both legacy 2014 kai vehicles, and the legacy mini 2014 kai vehicles displayed together. 2014 is one the only ninjago line I have almost every single set for (the only exceptions are the legacy sets, and cryptor's tank). Love the new fighter's oversized design, I think it is 100% an improvement. I know the old over-extended look was nice, but I had issues with the mechanism jamming on the original when I extended the wings back all the way, so this new change is fine by my standards.
Someone: men don't play with toys Jang: 0:01 hold my Kai fighter
The only thing I don’t like is how the main cockpit area is angled down for its “standard” position. The play feature was differently integrated I believe in the original set, but I still think it’s a good set
JANG summer 2020 set reviews already? I'm down!
I like the Kai minifigure !!! :3
Do the spring loaded shooters work in its alternate form? It looks like the cockpit gets in the way once it’s flattened out.
I like the new thumb nail style.
The shape and design of this Kai Fighter model give me some strong Exoforce vibes. 😀
I have the new Legacy Kai fighter and it’s pretty good but the bad thing about is the transformation feature.
The point of the differences in these suits is to be a mix of season three’s techno suit and season four’s tournament suits.
Lloyd's torso is actually new for this set, the original legacy techno robes are all misspelled "mapter" as opposed to "master"
Yay
How does it scale to the Thunder Raider? The previous Kai fighter was almost the same size as the Thunder Raider but this new version seems way bigger than the new version of the Thunder Raider.
Got this set on sale, i really like it but i don’t think i would like it nearly as much if i didn’t get it half off
I just bought both
Where can I buy this product except for the lego website, they havent released it yet. How were you able to buy it and where?
Are the ocean exploration sets going to be reviewed soon?
I also thought it would be better but the transformation feature is a complete downgrade

I totally agree the original does best the legacy version in transformation. However the redesign is fine, the deatail is nice to see, and I do like the red and black duel colour scheme tho. But since the original is expensive I'll satisfy with this one. Later down the road I'll try and get the original.

Visually, it’s a perfect upgrade of the original. The transformation feature/function is fine, but it could probably be better. Overall, I’d give it an 8 or 9 out of 10.
I have the original set when it first came out but I lost the blueprint and it broke when I dropped it and it’s just sitting in the closet but imma get this set so I can put it with the ninja city battle set
Jang did you took apart the lego ideas treehouse?
Cool set, but the transformation feature is a little weak and I wish the rear stabilizers could move outward too. The bad guy turret doesn't bother me because it's so small you just rotate it yourself * shrug *
Jang can you ask me this question, what would you rather pick to get, the katana 4x4 or the thunder raider please answer me back as soon as possible
My walmart sells this, the Boulder Blaster, and AT-ST Raider for $10 off each.
Some cargo space would have really been great, instead of adding all the unneccessary detail 😭

You mean the Stormfighter? Which one are you gonna get?
I like the star trek reference
It looks pretty cool but I think the old legacy Kai is better but the main build I'd say it's better and also how they made it with two ninjroids and not one this time so you can't find one no need to worry because you have two
So they basically made a pointed version of the 2x2 slope that goes from less than a stud height to 2 stud height, and not only that but it’s more like a combined version of the two left and right sloped 1x2 versions of the normal 1x2... oh I give up, I’m just gonna keep working on my Water Elemental Dragon
Hey Jang how did you get this set
Ive been watching the original show alot
i have the original but this lego its look better now
Jang the nindroid with the red katana does not have an armour piece
JANG, where them summer Creator reviews at?
Okay I want to say that I really hate the fact that Lloyd comes in 3 of the sets (all three vehicle sets) while Zane and Nya come in 0 of the sets with Legacy 2 robes, we only get Zanes Legacy 1 robe in the Bounty which also comes with a Samurai X Nya with a new torso variant. Sure Nya and Zane never had tournament robes but If these are the legacy 2 robes then i think the whole team should have them. Plus it’s already been shown that the Legacy theme isn’t meant to be sets that take place in the past, but it’s either a new story that brings back old stuff, I.E. season 10 wave of sets with old villain characters rather than the season 10 Oni bad guys, or just a fun wave like this wave, but still I think they really should’ve made tournament robes for Nya and Zane. Really would’ve been a great chance to give Zane his titanium version of the new flat top hair piece.
Jang why aren't you doing ninjago season 13 set reviews . I've been waiting forever.😃😃😃😃
