9448 Samurai Mech

9448 Samurai Mech is a 452 Ninjago set released in late May 2012. 
== LEGO.com Description ==
==Background==
The Samurai Mech was developed by Nya as part of her identity as the first Samurai X, and used in her efforts against the Serpentine, though she would also employ her tools against the ninja in order to keep her identity secret. After she confessed her true identity, she would continue to use the mech to fight alongside her friends. The mech was later possessed by Ghoultar and became Mech-enstein, but was eventually recovered by the ninja. It was later employed by the new Samurai X to save Lloyd during the Vermillion attack on the Temple of Airjitzu, but shot down and crashed in the surrounding desert.
