Ecosystem

71765 Ninja Ultra Combo Mech — 71765 combines four vehicles into one giant mech, similar to the new set's concept of combining mechs.

71738 Zane's Titan Mech Battle — Similar in price and have an equally interesting array of minifigures to collect.

71785 Jay's Titan Mech — Similar in price and have an equally interesting array of minifigures to collect.

71796 Elemental Dragon vs. The Empress Mech — Larger alternative set in the Dragons Rising wave.
