Description

A warship shaped like a sea creature

The set's silhouette follows a manta ray: broad, flat wings and a tapered front end, built mostly in dark bluish grey and light bluish grey. White adds bright contrast underneath and on markings, while black handles weapons and other technical detail. The animal-inspired shape is typical of Shark Army vehicles from The LEGO® Ninjago Movie and sets this model clearly apart from the more angular ninja vehicles in the same film line. The broad wings are hinged, so the flight pose can be adjusted during play rather than staying fixed.

Four figures for a battle scene

Four minifigures come with the set, enough for a small battle scene with a multi-person crew rather than a single pilot. That matches the action-heavy role Shark Army vehicles play in the film, usually shown with several crew members aboard. The figures combine well with other Ninjago Movie sets, particularly other Shark Army vehicles that share the same colour scheme, making it easy to build up a larger fleet scene with several vehicles and crews at once.

139 different elements

Of the 341 pieces, 139 are different elements, pointing to plenty of small detail pieces across the wings, weapons and cockpit rather than a build made from a handful of repeated basic bricks. That adds variety to the build and leaves useful material in dark bluish grey and light bluish grey for other vehicle projects, since those grey tones combine easily with most existing brick collections without clashing.

A fit for a wider Shark Army fleet

Anyone with other Shark Army vehicles from The LEGO® Ninjago Movie will find the Manta Ray Bomber a natural addition, since the colour scheme and scale line up across the sub-line. The parts list on this page breaks down each of the 139 different elements individually, useful for anyone hunting specific colours or shapes, or simply checking the set works as a standalone display piece on its own.
