If it's on the LEGO site, they're almost ready to unveil it.

It was a write-up on the rules of the game associated with the sets. Basically, you set up your figure with a weapon and a spinning base, your opponent does the same. You spin them (somehow, I presume we'll find out) and while they're spinning you play your cards against each other (the rules to which were on the second page of the document). The first minifigure to fall (whether due to lack of momentum or being hit by the other figures weapon) loses. The minifigure that wins gets the weapon used by the losing opponent. They tell you to give back all weapons at the end of the game ;)

Oh, yeah, and you have to yell "NINJAGO!" when you spin your figures. LEGO will take away all your stuff if you don't ;)

I'm guessing it's done by hand. The bases have a boat bumper attached to the bottom to make them spin better.

Probably by spamming a button with some fancy technic gear set up or by pushing and pulling a lever.

From what I remember, it looked like you do it by placing one finger on either side of the base and moving them quickly in opposite directions to generate the spin.

That's...unoriginal. I wonder what the base will be comprised of?

Updated with content now. There's a single card that can be flipped that reveals some jargon about what Ninjas are (in the NinjaGo Universe, anyway) and then a quiz about whether your mom is a ninja. The quiz reminds me of Real Ultimate Power quite a bit. :lol:

The other cards apparently have the date they will be available, those being 10/25, 11/01 and 12/01.

There isn't much on there other than the questions but I like the animation. :)

This sounds like the beginning of a bad 'your mom' joke. The site going up gives us a good ballpark of when we're going to start seeing these though. If LEGO is starting to market them right now, by Christmas we should begin to see some of these sets coming out, much like Atlantis last year.

Did you click on the questions? There's a lot more than just the text on the card that flips over...

The 2nd card is up. Describes all the place there are in NinjaGo World and the things that you will get to do in each one. Pretty neat. The download is a poster of the different animals in NinjaGo world.

Weird, I'm getting a LEGO 'Page Not Found' error page when I try to go to the site.

I hope they actually do something with all this world building.

Agreed, my boys and I would really enjoy it if they match what they are putting out there.
