What reviewers are saying

"That flag is just a detail that's... that's... well a little bit annoying. It's the wine stain on new carpet, a coffee ring on the table, a turd on the pavement."

Brickset Reviews

"Wings fold out okay so that's a thing and it's useful right but it goes farther than that it's all lifts off look comes its own thing"

JANG's LEGO Reviews

Ecosystem

70638 Katana V11 — This set follows the previous Ninjago set and improves upon it. The play scenarios make more sense here (bike vs bike) than in 70638 (boat vs bike). The bikes have more interesting features than initially apparent.

9441-1 (Ninjago bike set) — Each bike in 70639 looks similar in size to the earlier 9441-1, though not quite as exciting an action feature.

Zane's Eagle tribe Chima aesthetic — Zane's bike draws visual comparison to LEGO Chima's eagle tribe with its color scheme and eagle-head design, though it remains a distinct Ninjago build.
