Zane's Battle Mech (LEGO 71827)

About this set

LEGO 71827 Zane's Battle Mech sits in the NINJAGO Dragons Rising line and comes in at 92 pieces with a 2/5 difficulty rating. The build is a white mech accented with black, gold, blue, red and green, and the standout details are the large gold sword and the translucent blue crystal parts. The silhouette is compact rather than bulky, and the box carries the LEGO and NINJAGO DRAGONS RISING branding. On the build order, lock the torso-to-leg connections first, then attach the arms and weapon; with a fair share of joint pieces among the 92 parts, standing the frame up before hanging armor on it keeps things rigid. The translucent blue crystal elements are easy to seat crooked, so line up the clips before pressing. The gold sword is oversized relative to the body, so adjust the grip angle or it will tip forward. You get one red ninja and one black villain minifigure, enough to stage a face-off. This suits anyone new to the NINJAGO mech subtheme who wants a small white machine; 92 pieces is about an hour of clutch work, and if you already own a larger mech from the line, this one works well as a supporting piece or a kid's first build.
