LEGO Ninjago set 70723, “Thunder Raider”, was released in 2014 as part of the Ninjago theme. With 334 pieces, it represents a Rebooted era model and includes characters tied to the conflict with the Nindroids.
“Thunder Raider” sits within the Rebooted period of Ninjago, a setting marked by technological styling, special ninja outfits and mechanical opponents. The minifigure selection places the set firmly in that context, pairing Jay and Cole in Techno Robe outfits with a Nindroid Warrior.
The build uses 334 pieces and is structured as an action focused play set. The included minifigures are Nindroid Warrior, Jay in Techno Robe Outfit (Rebooted) and Cole in Techno Robe Outfit (Rebooted).
The set suits collectors who organise Ninjago by story era, character variant or faction. It can also serve as a compact display piece for the Rebooted period, especially alongside other Jay, Cole or Nindroid related models. Within the theme, it stands as a focused representation of that technological chapter.
