“This set is an update of the LEGO 70723 Thunder Raider set from 2014. But unlike the 71700 Jungle Raider set which was a 'mini' remake of the original set, here we go from 334 to 576 pieces and Jay's Thunder Raider and Cole's Earth Mech gain in size and detail. The Thunder... More Raider therefore goes up to size, in a rather successful style as long as you do not look at it from the rear, uninspired.”

“71699 Thunder Raider is a Ninjago set that released on January 1, 2020, as a part of Ninjago: Legacy Wave 2. It includes Jay, Cole, Lloyd in their Legacy (sleeveless) robes, the Overlord, and a Nindroid Warrior in their Legacy redesigns and Lightning off-roader and Earth... More Mech, which can combine into the Thunder Raider.”

About Ninjago Legacy

The Ninjago Legacy subtheme of Ninjago is dedicated to re-imagining concepts used in classic sets. The first wave consisted of re-imagined sets from Seasons 1 and 2 and released in early 2019. The second wave, released in 2020, consisted of sets from the pilot episodes and Seasons 2–4. So far there have been 5 waves, the third wave consisted of sets from Seasons 1 and 3. The fourth wave focused on sets from seasons 2–5 and the fifth wave consisted of sets from the pilot episodes and seasons 1 and 5. Rather than conform to a specific season, Legacy is based on the Ninjago franchise's early history, with the first wave celebrating the television show's tenth season and 100th episode.

Legacy was introduced in 2019 and currently consists of 37 sets. As of today, 71741 NINJAGO City Gardens is the most valuable Legacy set with an estimated new/sealed value of $400.
