Designer's notes

Designer's notes[]

"This one was a bit different as it was based on something pre existing. Our challenge with the Legacy sets for Ninjago was to show the progress of LEGO building through the years since the release of the original sets. Keeping the function of the original design was a must as it is something that defines this model. To make this model worth it I had to figure out a way to unfold the wings in reliably way without just copying the original, something that would inspire new ways of thinking and doing things to anyone building this set. Leonardo Lopez did the concept model for this one and the updated aesthetics design is in part thanks to him."^[2]

Trivia

Trivia[]

This set is a re-imagined version of 9442 Jay's Storm Fighter from 2012.
The Golden Weapon included in this set is the Nunchucks of Lightning.
This is the first set to feature Pythor's purple minifigure since 9449 Ultra Sonic Raider in 2012, which was released seven years earlier. This is also the smallest set to feature Pythor.
Jay's Storm Glider originally first appeared in "Snakebit," but this version first appeared in "Blue Lightning" from the Tales from the Monastery of Spinjitzu shorts.
The Storm Glider has both, a Ninjago: Legacy remake (70668 Jay's Storm Fighter) and a Ninjago: Legacy 4+ remake (71703 Storm Fighter Battle) exactly like the Blade Cycle, and the Fire Dragon.
It resembles the Quinjet from Marvel.
