LEGO set 9441, “Kai's Blade Cycle”, belongs to the Ninjago theme and was released in 2012. It represents Kai’s vehicle in a 188 piece set, with the build focused on action and a direct character confrontation.
“Kai's Blade Cycle” sits within the Ninjago theme, where character vehicles are often used to define the individual ninja. The model places Kai at the centre and presents a combat oriented vehicle that fits the action driven setting of the line.
The build is centred on the main vehicle and on the conflict created by the included characters.
