Description
A vehicle built around a launcher
The Boulder Blaster takes its name from a built-in mechanism that fires boulder-shaped elements, a type of play feature that sits at the heart of many Ninjago vehicles. With 449 pieces, the result is a compact but combat-ready vehicle that balances working function with the sharp angles and pointed shapes typical of Ninjago design. For fans who like acting out action scenes rather than just displaying a model, that launcher adds a clear layer of play value beyond static shelf appeal.
157 parts for a detailed build
At 157 distinct parts, the Boulder Blaster carries noticeably more variety than its 449-piece total might suggest, pointing to plenty of individually placed details rather than large flat panels. That variety shows up in panelling, weapons and accessories for the minifigures alike, giving the finished vehicle a busier, more dynamic silhouette than a simple part count implies. Anyone wanting an overview before building can check the parts list on this page, which lists every element individually along with its colour and exact quantity.
Grey, black and sandy tones
The colour scheme of black, light and dark bluish grey, plus tan, echoes rock and stone, tying neatly into the vehicle's boulder-firing theme. That earthier palette sets the Boulder Blaster apart from the brighter colour schemes used on some other Ninjago vehicles, giving it a tougher, more rugged look better suited to rough terrain. The exact colour breakdown across the build is available on this page.
Four minifigures for the story
The 4 included minifigures place the Boulder Blaster within a specific Ninjago storyline, providing either allies or opponents for scenes built around the vehicle. The parts list on this page also covers the figures' accessories, such as weapons and headgear, which tend to be especially detailed and characterful in Ninjago sets. Together, the set works both as a standalone vehicle and as an addition to a larger, already existing Ninjago collection.
