"I believe this set is one of the most detailed sets in the Ninjago line. This set comes with a lot of new or recolored pieces I didn't have before. The one thing I REALLY like about this set is the catapult in the back. That thing is AMAZING. It really works and I swear, I've had it for 2 days and I've already used A TON. One thing I don't like about this set is the action features. Really, the catapult on the back and the stud shooters on the side (which are pretty much useless because they are angled upward) are the only play features. This thing does have a lot of play value though. One more thing is (this may be just me) but the instructions were a little bit confusing.
Pros: Very detailed Lots of details lots of new (or recolored) pieces I didn't have before Catapult on the back Play value
Cons: Not very many action features Stud shooters on the side are angled up to far to use The instructions were kinda hard to understand"
"The lego ninjago chain cycle ambush is one of the smaller sets in the ghost wave. The set includes 3 minifigures-Wrayth, Pyrrhus (exclusive), and Airjitzu Zane. It was a surprise to find that Airjitzu Zane was included because he is the only airjitzu ninja to appear in both an airjitzu flyer and a set. Anyhow, it's great to get Airjitzu Zane and he gets a cool jetpack/hoverboard. We also get 2 skreemers. The bike is quite large considering Wrayth just took a regular old motorcycle and added some ghost power but I like it-it has a nice size and a nice design. I especially like how they used the neon green chain pieces and crossed them in the front. The one main feature for the set is the chain-bola launcher-you get 2 chain-bolas stored in a crate and the launcher actually blends into the vehicle which is great! The last part of the set is a ghost vortex which has Zane's aeroblade in the center. Overall, I like this set-the bike looks cool, the ghost vortex is a nice inclusion, and I like how Airjitzu Zane was included. The only disappointment was Pyrrhus because they said he's exclusive but he's just Cowler renamed. Otherwise, I would recommend this set!"
I would recommend this to a friend!

"First of all, I must say this is an excellent set. Some specifics: THE MINIFIGURES There are 3 minifigures in this set: Wrayth the chain master, Zane (Oddly in his Airjitzu variant), And ghost warrior Pyrrhus, plus two skreemers. While Pyrrhus gets a bit old once you have more than one set from this line, as they are all basically the same figures, albiet with three different hat styles, Wrayth is a nicely detailed figure, with his wonderfully creepy mummy head and tunic ripped to shreds by his many chains. On thing that would make it better, though, would be to include a longer whip for Wrayth to use whilst on the bike, like he had in the show. Zane with his hoverboard/jetpack is also very nice, although I would have preferred him in his Deepstone suit. This set also contains two Skreemers, one with a wrench for patching up the eponymous Chain Cycle, and the other with a serrated blade and an ice cream cone, because...reasons. I find it slightly ironic that one of the few sets with more than one Skreemer also contains the only protagonist that can't be possessed. THE SET There are two parts to this set, a small ghost shrine for the Ice Aeroblade, and Wrayth's chain cycle. The shrine is a nice touch, and the spinning tilted parts provide the illusion of a ghostly cyclone dragging the Aeroblade into the cursed realm. And now, we get to the bike. It is very large, and contains many translucent green parts that you probably won't find anywhere else, such as long chains and sawblades. In the way of armaments, the cycle has two stud blasters, and a bola catapult in the back. While the studs blasters are generally effective, the catapult is a bit hard to use. So, all in all, this was a very fun set, with only a few minor problems."
