Having just watched the serpentine season for the first time this week, when I first saw the train/bus/truck thing I wondered why it didn’t get a set. Now, after I’ve seen this I am really suprised it wasn’t released…

The Serpentine Train looks awesome and yes I would definitely buy it if it were a set.

9

I would like to have it, but I would not have the money.

10

I’d buy.

11

I’ve never been really in to the villain sets with Ninjago. Though this is cool, I probably wouldn’t have gotten it.

12

The carriages seem a little simple though guessing it is accurate to the Serptine Bus you mentioned… would probably end up getting it depending on price and figures…

I don’t buy Lego unless it’s Bionicle so no I wouldn’t buy it however if I was a die-hard Ninjago fan I would totally, looks sweet!

14

Depends on the cost, but I most likely would of got it if it was under $100

15

Pythor, Skales, and at least 2 Fangpyre undoubtedly.

I wonder which of the Ninja would’ve been included, if any.

Because usually they try to get some semblance of both sides being in a set, even if it is just minifigs.

17

Considering the scene that this presumably inspired, Perhaps Cole, Nya(in full Samurai Garb) and Sensei?

See, what I was thinking was: This set is to the Serpentine what the Ultra Sonic Raider was to the Ninja.

So I think it’d be all five Serpentine Generals(with staves) and then maybe just Cole and Nya

Maybe, however I kind of invision that scene where Sensei detaches the car to face Pythor and their shared destiny without the ninja, along with cole and Nya actually being on the tram at the time.

And then you’d have the fangpyres manning cannons and Skales waiting to intercept Cole.

Oh, definitely.

I was so disappointed when I found out this wasn’t going to be a set.

If this was to predict the ColeXNya shipping, I’d be too scared.
But this MoC is, indeed, great. I’d love to see it in set form, with Sensei Wu.
Also, I’d love to see side-guns popping out of the windows, and a detaching feature similar tho the Zam Wesell Airspeeder from 2002.

If I remember correctly, the reason that it never got released, is it never got past the photo-type stage. :confused:

I believe that part of the episode with Skales facing Cole, was more related to the Tread Assault set, since the only mini figures you get in that set are Cole and Skales, and in that moment, Cole does use the Tread Assault on Skales.

This is a prototype so I’d imagine it would go under more editing to look like the show (since in the show it was a bus, not a train) if it was ever released. But it’s pretty basic so I probably would’ve skipped out on it.

25

I think good minifigures to include would be Cole, Zane, Sensei Wu, Pythor, Lizaru, Mezmo, Snappa, and Chokun.

I was also surprised this didn’t become a set. Cut it down to just the first three parts and the tail at the end and this could easily been a flagship set.
