15th Anniversary Edition Ninja Dojo Display Stand (LEGO 71866)

About this set

This LEGO 71866 sits in the NINJAGO LEGACY line and is a ninja-themed scene build. The box states 168 pieces while our inventory lists 447, so check the printed part count against the bags before you start. The finished model centers on a Japanese torii/shrine gate, with a red circular door, steps, a round display base, and minifigures included. The palette runs red, black, white, gold, gray, green, and blue; the red door and gold trim read strongly against the gray base, and the torii's beams and posts frame the whole scene while the circular base keeps the footprint tidy for display. Difficulty is 4/5, so it is a reasonably demanding build. Work in order: press the base disc and steps together first, then raise the torii posts, and hang the red circular door last, since the door-to-gate connection is the spot most likely to sit slightly off and benefits from a little slack. Place the minifigures between the steps and the gate. It suits intermediate builders with a few NINJAGO sets behind them who want a scene piece, and MOC makers after torii-style parts.
