What Makes the LEGO Ninjago Thunder Raider a Smart Purchase?

Getting two times the value for your toy purchasing dollar is always nice. And that is exactly what happens when you get the Ninjago 70723 Thunder Raider Toy. You would expect from the title to receive just one toy, the LEGO Thunder Raider. But also included is the popular Earth Mech in this LEGO kit with 334 total pieces.

Designed for children aged 8 to 14, but obviously more popular with young boys, the Ninjago Thunder Raider Toy continues the tradition of the popular toy company in producing heavy duty, quality construction pieces when compared to other brick-based constructible toys.

In a sort of Transformer type of functionality, both the Thunder Raider and Earth Mech can be combined to deliver a unique Transport Mode. Jay is provided a Techno-Blade weapon, and the included Nindroid wields a laser cannon.

The Thunder Raider boasts powerful rear off-road wheels and an attachment hub for Earth Mech as well as Golden ninja swords.

One feature that LEGO lovers, collectors and Ninjago fans will enjoy is the ability of Cole's Earth Mech to back-flip onto the backside of the Thunder Raider. You can also revert back to speed mode and power your way through the imaginary city.

The versatile Thunder Raider ninja vehicle is the centerpiece of this LEGO selection, and at the bargain-basement retail price the product offers, would be enough to merit a purchase.

But what makes the LEGO Ninjago 70723 Thunder Raider Toy such a smart buy is the inclusion of LEGO figures Jay, Cole and a Nindroid, as well as Cole's Earth Mech. For collectors and LEGO Ninjago-loving young boys alike, this is a must have piece delivered by a quality toy manufacturer with a very attractive price tag.
