Chain Cycle Ambush

Set 70730 Chain Cycle Ambush is part of the LEGO® Ninjago range from 2015, built around a short, fast confrontation between a chain-driven motorcycle and the ninja defending against it. With 298 pieces and three minifigures, it's a compact vehicle-and-battle set rather than a large base.

Description

A quick skirmish, not a big base

Chain Cycle Ambush is built for short, fast-paced play rather than an elaborate base or headquarters: a villain's vehicle closes in, and the ninja minifigure has to respond. That format is common across smaller LEGO® Ninjago sets, which typically pair one distinctive vehicle with a couple of minifigures rather than a full scene. It works well as a standalone skirmish set or as an addition to a larger base or vehicle from the same 2015 wave.

A motorcycle built around its chain drive

The set's main build is an unusually shaped motorcycle with a visible chain-drive mechanism, designed to look fast and mechanical rather than sleek. At 298 pieces the build stays compact, but the piece count goes almost entirely into the bike itself – handlebars, drivetrain and attachments – giving it more moving detail than its size would suggest. Several elements stay poseable after building, so the bike remains playable rather than becoming a fixed display piece, and the compact footprint means it fits easily alongside larger Ninjago vehicles on a shelf.

Neon green cuts through the dark tones

Black and dark bluish grey form the bike's frame, while trans-neon green stands out as an accent colour on energy or drive elements, giving the model a sharp, slightly menacing look. Light bluish grey rounds out the smaller details. That combination of dark base colours with one bright contrast shade is typical of LEGO® Ninjago vehicles from this period and keeps the model easy to spot even from a distance. The colour list on this page marks exactly where the neon green parts sit.

Three minifigures on both sides

Three minifigures come with the set, covering both attacker and defender roles so the ambush scene can be played out rather than just displayed. The complete list of 124 unique parts on this page is useful for anyone hunting a specific chain-drive or neon green piece, whether for a repair or to combine this set with other LEGO® Ninjago vehicles from the same wave.
