Minifigure review
You get five characters, Lloyd and Sora in current outfits versus a exclusive minifigure from this set Kur (Master of Decay) and Tyr, and a Spectral Dragonian Warrior. Prints are crisp, with dual-sided heads and detailed torsos, and the villains bring unique parts and colors that contrast well with the hero’s green palette. For play it is instant story fuel, for collectors it is strong value with multiple exclusives in one box.
About
In mech mode, the model stands about 24 cm tall, with solid articulation at the hips, shoulders and wrists, a protected cockpit, and twin greatswords. The Technic spine and layered armor keep it sturdy, so it holds dynamic poses better than most play mechs this size. The party trick is the conversion to jet: you reconfigure limbs and armor to create a low, angular fighter with wide wings and a centered cockpit. It is not a one-pull gimmick, but the process is quick and logical for kids, and satisfying for adults. The box also includes Sora’s flying bike and a poseable spectral dragon, which add meaningful scene building rather than filler. Trade-offs exist, the torso can look a little boxy from certain angles, and the jet’s underside shows some exposed structure, but overall this is a rare set that works both as a tall display mech and as a convincing vehicle.
Box design
The package uses the larger NINJAGO box at 45,6 × 28,2 × 7,2 cm, with front art showing the mech in an aggressive stance and back panels highlighting the jet configuration and the side builds. The footprint is shelf friendly, and the depth protects the long sword elements and shoulder assemblies in transit.
Instruction manual
There is one perfect-bound manual and numbered paper bags, plus a digital version in LEGO Builder with zoom and 3D rotation. The conversion steps are clearly segmented, so you build the mech first, then follow a concise section to transform it into the jet without backtracking through the entire book.
Stickers
A single sticker sheet covers wing markings, armor accents and a few control panels. Most placements are on flat or gently sloped tiles, so alignment is straightforward with tweezers. The jet wings benefit most from the decals, adding graphic punch the all-green plastic lacks, while the mech still reads well even if you skip a couple of trims. Quantity feels moderate for a flagship play set.
So…
Lloyd’s Jet Mech earns its flagship status. You get two credible models in one box, a generous minifigure lineup and side builds that actually matter, at a price that undercuts many licensed sets with fewer parts. If you want pure display accuracy there are cleaner mechs, but for play value, versatility and shelf presence, 71845 is one of NINJAGO’s strongest 2025 releases.
