📝 Our Take

AI-assisted editorial summary, grounded in our LEGO database and public community discussions. How we use AI

The Sky Shark is a surprisingly cool Ninjago vehicle. This set captures the essence of the Skybound theme with its menacing design and unique play features, making it a standout model from the 2016 lineup.

This set is perfect for Ninjago fans and younger builders. The build is straightforward and enjoyable, resulting in a fun, swooshable aircraft with cool details. It's also great for expanding a Ninjago collection with unique villain vehicles.

Skip this if you prefer larger, more complex LEGO models. If you're looking for a more challenging build experience, consider larger Ninjago temples or mechs. Alternatively, check out newer Ninjago sets with more advanced building techniques.

Investment Grade
⏳ Retired
The Sky Shark, being a retired Ninjago set, has seen a steady increase in value over time. While not the most iconic Ninjago set, its unique design and relatively low piece count make it appealing to collectors. The presence of exclusive minifigures further enhances its investment potential. However, the Ninjago theme has many sets, so its appreciation may be moderate compared to more limited-edition or licensed sets. As with all LEGO investments, monitor market trends and condition carefully.

📖 About This Set

Take on Flintlocke’s Sky Shark with Ninja Lloyd!

Send up the drone to check out this awesome jet with dangerous blades, guns and loads of cool pirate details. And beware—the Sky Shark could drop dynamite or rotten fish at any moment! Then convert the drone into a jetpack for Lloyd and launch the Ninja hero into battle. Bring down the Sky Shark and fight to free trapped Kai from the Djinn Blade!

  • Includes 2 minifigures: Lloyd and Flintlocke.
  • The Sky Shark features an opening cockpit with detailed dashboard stickers, a dropping function (to drop 2 dynamite or 2 rotten fish elements), 2 fold-out blades, plus a hidden pirate sword and 6 detachable guns.
  • The Sky Shark also incorporates many pirate details including chains, anchors, 2 treasure chests, 2 barrels and 2 orange rotten fish and bone elements.
  • A dual-function drone/jetpack with translucent flame elements is also included which may be used on its own as a drone or attached to Lloyd as a jetpack.
  • Weapons include a translucent red Djinn Blade with ‘trapped’ Kai’ element and Lloyd’s golden weapon staff.
  • Recreate and role-play epic scenes from the NINJAGO™: Masters of Spinjitzu TV show.
  • Sky Shark measures over 2” (6cm) high, 10” (27cm) long and 6” (16cm) wide.
  • Drone/jetpack measures over 3” (9cm) high and 1” (5cm) wide and under 1” (2cm) deep.

⚖ Compare Similar Sets

Compared to other Ninjago vehicles, the Sky Shark stands out with its pirate-themed aesthetic and unique play features. While sets like the Destiny's Bounty (70738-1) offer a larger, more complex building experience, the Sky Shark provides a more accessible and affordable option. For those interested in aircraft, the Ninjago Raider Copter (70723-1) offers a similar scale and price point but with a different design focus.

2 Minifigures Included

The set includes two minifigures: Flintlocke with Epaulettes and Lloyd (Skybound). Flintlocke is unique to this set, increasing its collectibility. Lloyd is a common character but in a special Skybound variant.
