![]() One more thing to note is that LEGO did not even put the set name on the front of the box back then, perhaps because they wanted to show off their lovely picture. It certainly conveys a Japanese feeling to me. I especially love the little greenery towards the bottom and the ominous fog on the bottom right. The only actiony thing is the flying Ninja, everything else seems frozen in time. Like other Castle sets at least of the '90s, it has that orangy color and redtones in the background of the picture. ![]() Its got a nice big not-too-computerized picture slapped on it. This is a pretty big box, but it's not overly big for the size and price of the set. (Some of these pictures are clickable to bigger versions for better detail) I guess even now not so many people care much about Ninja, and I got this set, not MISB, but in very good condition, for just $25 more than its original price including shipping. I was surprised at how relatively cheap the Ninja sets were, even ten years later. ![]() So, ten years later, I decided it was time to go on Bricklink and set right my old mistake. So what'll it be, marked down awesome huge Ninja castle, or this new castle in the Knights Kingdom line that surprised me? I walked out of the shop with King Leo, and regretted it for ten years. And then I saw something new I'd never heard of or seen before (wasn't using the internet back then), 6091 King Leo's Castle. There was the 6093 Flying Ninja's Fortress, two years after release, marked down to about $60 I believe. In 2000, I went into a TRU intending to spend about $100 on LEGO. I liked it at the time pretty well, and I got a bunch of small sets and one bigger one, but not that many overall. In the Hidden Depths of the Orient two Ninja teams are locked in a bitter struggle to control the precious treasure, and each side will do anything to win! Create traps, explore the secret surprises, and control the action with sets from the LEGO SYSTEM Ninja Collection. Back when I was a student, I listed numerous big sets that I would do as some of my gold level reviews.
