LEGO Ninjago 9443 Rattlecopter

LEGO set 9443 Rattlecopter, released in 2012 as part of the Ninjago line, has 327 pieces. Its inventory breaks down into 145 different lots, across 19 colors.

Rattlecopter is a Ninjago set built around an enemy flying vehicle. Its subject places it on the antagonist side of the theme, with the snake faction providing the visual and story context. Rather than depicting a fixed location, the model is suited to pursuit, attack and confrontation scenes.

The set contains 327 pieces and 3 minifigures: Lloyd Garmadon, Fang-Suei and Kai ZX with Rocket Pack. The main build is the Rattlecopter itself, supported by characters that define the opposing sides.

This set suits Ninjago collectors who want vehicles for the villains as well as players building action scenes. On display, it can sit alongside ninja vehicles and help show the contrast between factions.
