(...) I'll second that. Ninja was the first reason that I got back into Lego and I am glad that I no longer have to wade through castle posts looking for the rare ninja post. - Craig (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle.ninja)

(...) I'll third it :) the Ninja theme was what got me back into Lego too. I was very disappointed it only Ran (pun intended, for you Kurosawa fans) for two years. Christopher Pisciotti (24 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle.ninja)

(...) The Mini Heroes Collection, sets 3344, 3345, 3346, add a little more variation. I especially like 3344 with it's black armor and horned helmet. I think he makes a pretty cool Ronin leader or a Diamyo for your red army. Would have been nice if (...) (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle.ninja)

(...) I looked at all these when I was at Legoland - I felt 3344 was dreadfully overpriced for a single figure. The set with the green ninja was okay, but still on the high side. Bruce (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle.ninja)
