This Set is InZane!
Sorry, I mean Zane is in this set.
I suppose this set is a promotional polybag set that you can pick up at various retail stores, but I bought mine from a vendor at BrickCon, so I can't really say how easy it is to find. Overall, it's a neat little set for the Ninjago theme.
First of all, this set contains Zane, the white ice ninja. Best of all, Zane comes in his standard ninja outfit, which is only availible in some of the more expensive Ninjago sets. (Zane does appear in the cheaper Ice Dragon set, but that's his dragon outfit, so it's not quite the same.) Overall, he has some decent printing on his torso and legs and the standard Ninja headgear, plus a standard black katana. But the best part is that you can get him in this cheaper polybag as opposed to the larger sets, so that's one way you can build up your Ninjago minifig collection.
The main build here is the glider, which is not quite as exciting as Zane. It comes with some nice pieces, namely 6 gold Exo Force robot arms and 6 gold swords. They're built in a way to make them extend out as wings. While it's a creative idea, it's not very stable, and I had trouble readjusting my wings to look good. Furthermore, there's no ideal way to attach Zane to the wings. He can grab onto the handle with one hand, or you can attach his legs to the SNOT (studs not on top) brick, but these methods still make the wings look all the more awkward. I'm not sure if there'd be a decent way to fix this, but I must say that something needs to be done to them.
Overall, this set is not about the build, because the golden glider just doesn't look right. But it does have the pieces (gold swords and robot arms) and minifig to make it worth buying. If you're into the Ninjago theme and happen to find the set in stores, I would certainly recomend picking it up and adding the pieces to your collection.
