Description

A skyline built in sections

The model is split into several building sections, each opening up to reveal the interior below. Narrow walkways, fold-out panels and a boat round out the street-level scene. At 1,224 pieces, this counts among the larger Ninjago sets from its release year, giving builders a substantial project. The sections can be displayed on their own or lined up together, which helps the city read as one connected scene rather than isolated towers.

Eight minifigures, one big scene

Eight minifigures make this one of the more figure-heavy Ninjago sets of 2014, enough to stage scenes with several factions at once. They're scaled to match the vehicles and building sections, so they slot into any part of the layout. For collectors already running other Ninjago sets, the extra figures widen the cast available for custom scenes. Combined with the sizeable skyline, the figure count makes this set a natural centrepiece for a bigger Ninjago display.

Colours and parts breakdown

Black and dark bluish grey form the base of the city, with red used throughout for accents and mechanical detailing. Light bluish grey fills out windows, walkways and smaller components. In total the set uses 348 distinct parts, giving plenty of variety in shapes and functions across the build. That range is what makes the parts list on this page worth checking, whether you're after a specific brick or just curious what's inside.

Play set or display piece

The fold-out buildings work equally well as a play set and as a shelf display, since opening the sections shows off both the interiors and the facade detailing. For builders new to larger Ninjago sets, the model is a good introduction to layered construction and modular connections that reappear across the theme. At 1,224 pieces, it's substantial enough for several building sessions without becoming difficult to follow, and the section-by-section design makes it easy to pause and resume the build.
