Description

A buggy for rough terrain

Rock Roader is an open-top off-road vehicle with notably large wheels and a sturdy frame, designed for rocky, uneven ground. At 406 pieces the set sits in Ninjago's mid-size range, with enough substance for a multi-seat vehicle featuring visible suspension and drivetrain details. The 152 unique parts keep the build varied, particularly around the wheels, frame and the range's characteristic weapon-storage elements. For fans of rugged off-road vehicles, that adds up to more mechanical detail than the modest piece count might suggest.

Black and grey with a gold accent

Black, dark bluish grey, reddish brown and pearl gold give the set a rugged, technical look suited to an off-road vehicle. Black and dark bluish grey form the frame and wheels, reddish brown adds panel detail, and pearl gold appears sparingly as a premium accent – a shade that's less common across the wider LEGO® range. The colour breakdown on this page shows how the 152 parts split across these four tones, useful for sorting before building or for tracking down that less common gold shade specifically.

Four minifigures for the crew

Four minifigures come with the set and fit comfortably into a multi-seat vehicle, allowing for role play with a rotating crew. That fits Ninjago's broader approach to vehicles, which are built for play rather than static display. The figures combine easily with other Ninjago sets for larger chase scenes or off-road setups involving several vehicles at once, turning a single buggy into part of a bigger, self-assembled fleet.

What the parts list reveals

With 152 unique parts, Rock Roader is a solid reference for anyone after specific frame, wheel or weapon pieces. The full parts list on this page catalogues every element individually, which is useful for tracking down the less common pearl gold pieces or a specific reddish brown part before looking for a replacement elsewhere. It's particularly handy for collectors comparing several Ninjago vehicles by colour and shape.
