I am collecting weapon representations of each season of ninjago (like the serpentine staffs, or the yang blade for the Day of the Departed). But when it comes to the Tournament of Elements there are the jade blades which were the collectables of the season (I believe), however the Staff of Elements was a much more important/focal point of the season.
So that brings my question: which would be a better representation of the Tournament of Elements? A jade blade (singular, with no build to make it a mre unique weapon) or the Staff of Elements?
If possible, I’d probably try to get both, since the Jade Blade was frequently featured in the promotional art, but, as you said, the Staff of Elements was more important to the season.
As such, I personally believe that both equally represent the season, so it seems hard to choose one over the other.
