Description

Two vehicles in one

The Samurai VXL converts between an upright mech with articulated arms and a flat, fast vehicle mode, all without removing or swapping out parts. Mech mode favours manoeuvrability and close combat, while vehicle mode trades that for speed and a low, streamlined profile. This kind of transformation is common across NINJAGO vehicles, and it means a single model covers two distinct play styles depending on which shape the scene calls for. The switch between modes can be repeated freely, so the vehicle can change roles several times within one play session.

Build and mechanism

At 430 pieces across 148 unique parts, this is a mid-sized build where the transforming mechanism sits at the centre of the design. Jointed arms and legs, along with a sliding cockpit section, let the model shift smoothly between its two modes without parts coming loose during play. Builders who enjoy function-driven models will find the mechanism gets just as much attention here as the model's overall look. The build itself splits into clear stages for the chassis, joints and cockpit, which makes the finished mechanism easy to follow.

Colours and parts

Black and the two grey tones form the mech's structural frame, while pearl gold trim adds the accents associated with Nya's Samurai X armour across several NINJAGO seasons. This page lists all 148 unique parts used in the set, useful for tracking down specific joint pieces, armour plates or gold trim elements for other mech-style builds.

Minifigures and play

The 4 minifigures include Nya in her Samurai X role, joined by other characters from the current NINJAGO storyline, setting up conflicts that play out directly around the mech. Combined with other NINJAGO vehicles, the Samurai VXL fits neatly into larger chase or battle scenes, whether deployed in its agile mech mode or as a fast escape vehicle. Owners of other NINJAGO sets can also mix and match the figures across builds to invent their own storylines.
