Trivia[]
- A mini model of this set was used for the Lego Dimensions set, 71217 Zane Fun Pack.
- This is the first Ninjago set to include only Nindroids and no human characters, followed by 70726 Destructoid and 70639 Street Race of Snake Jaguar.
- This is the only set to include this variant of P.I.X.A.L. and the Falcon.
- However, in 70639 Street Race of Snake Jaguar, the Falcon is built onto Zane's bike.
- For two years, it was the only set to include Zane's battle-scarred minifigure, with half his face torn off and his chest open. In 2016, a new battle-scarred variant of Zane, this one with him in his Tournament of Elements robe, was released in 853544 LEGO NINJAGO Accessory Set. Unlike the version in this set, the scar on Zane's face has side printing as well.
- This is the only Ninja vehicle set from Season 3 that doesn't have a Legacy remake.
- That is the first time Zane had a helicopter, the second being his ShuriCopter.
