Description

A tank built for the Titanium Ninja

The tumbler is a wide, low-slung tracked vehicle fitting the Day of the Departed storyline, in which Zane returns wearing silver titanium armour. A rotating rig with blades sits on top, turned by a hand crank so attack scenes can be staged against an opponent. The cab seats one minifigure, while the other two figures work as rivals or allies positioned around the vehicle, following the usual pattern for Ninjago battle sets. That split mirrors a familiar Ninjago approach, where the driver and the fighter take on separate roles during a scene.

Building on tracks

At 343 pieces and 124 unique parts, this is a mid-sized Ninjago set that most builders finish in one or two sittings. Construction starts with the tracked chassis, built up from many small links, followed by the hull and finally the rotating weapon rig on top. That order keeps the finished model stable on its tracks and leaves the crank mechanism turning smoothly, which is not always a given on tracked builds. Assembling the individual track links also builds a good feel for the repeating techniques used across tracked vehicle sets.

Colours and parts

Black and light grey form the armour and track base, dark grey adds mechanical detailing, and white picks out panels that echo Zane's titanium look. This fairly neutral palette pairs easily with other dark Ninjago or Technic-style vehicles already on a shelf. The parts list on this page covers all 124 unique elements with colour and quantity, handy for tracking down track links, armour plates or specific grey pieces. A few of the armour plates also work well repurposed into other Ninjago-style creations.

Who it suits

The Titanium Ninja Tumbler suits Ninjago fans who want a playable vehicle with a working function rather than a static display piece. With 3 minifigures included, small battle scenes between Zane and a rival are possible straight out of the box, no second set required. It also appeals to collectors gathering vehicles from the Day of the Departed wave, since it sits well alongside the theme's other tracked builds. As an addition to an existing Ninjago collection, the tumbler rounds out the vehicle fleet nicely.
