==Designer's notes==
One of my latest sets and definitely my favorite so far. The size is perfect for play, you get three models that provide a lot of play, you have the modularity, the diversity between models and even a fun function that doesn't need a lot of technic. The function on the thunder raider works with the help of the new "A-plate" which I helped design. I have been unable to leave this element out of any models I've been designing since. It opens up a lot of posibilities for someone like me who loves to challenge the straight lines that LEGO bricks are usually restricted to.https://brickset.com/sets/designer-Adrian-Florea
==Trivia==
*This is the first set to include Jay's Techno Blade, the second being 70728 Battle for Ninjago City.
*This set was remade into 71699 Thunder Raider for Ninjago: Legacy.
*This was the only set to include Jay without shoulder pads.
*A revamped edition of this set was released in 2020 (71699 Thunder Raider) under the subtheme, Ninjago: Legacy. However, it contains more pieces, and includes a figure of the Overlord.
*This is the second Ninjago set that can be combined with a LEGO City set (60056 Tow Truck) to build a larger build, this being the Hydro-Turbo Sky Ray. The first is 70721 Kai Fighter and 60061 Airport Fire Truck, which can be built into the Thermo-Bolt Fire Flyer.
