Description

An arena built for spinning flight

Airjitzu is a core technique in the Ninjago world: ninja spin themselves into a tornado of elemental energy and fly into battle. Set 70590 supplies the matching setting — a battle arena designed as both a landing spot and a stage for exactly that kind of entrance. Rather than a closed building, the layout feels open and rocky, with several levels and ledges for duels viewed from different angles, ideal for sudden landings and quick switches between levels mid-fight.

666 pieces, 217 shapes: solid build depth

217 distinct shapes across 666 pieces give a variety ratio of just under a third, typical for an arena set built around an irregular, ruined rock look. Instead of smooth, repeating wall sections, plenty of smaller shapes create the jagged, natural feel of the battleground. The parts list on this page breaks down exactly which shapes went into the rock formations, platforms and other details, with the exact quantity and colour for each one, making individual arena sections easy to rebuild later.

Black, greys and reddish brown: a ruined look

Black and the two shades of grey form the arena's basic stone-and-rock structure, while reddish brown adds earthy accents, for ground cover or weathered detailing. The bright, element-coded colours associated with individual ninja are notably absent from the structure itself and stay reserved entirely for the minifigures — a clear split between setting and characters that keeps the arena flexible for different scenes and easy to combine with other Ninjago sets in a shared display.

Five minifigures for multi-sided battles

Five minifigures are enough for duels involving more than two sides at once, rather than a single one-on-one fight. That suits an arena built across several levels. If you're after specific rock shapes or platform pieces for your own Ninjago builds, the parts list on this page lists each of the 217 shapes individually, with quantity and colour, useful for expanding your own collection or building an entirely new rocky landscape.
