71748

LEGO Ninjago 71748, Catamaran Sea Battle, depicts a naval clash between two opposing catamarans. Released in 2021, the Ninjago set contains 780 pieces and brings together island themed versions of the ninja with their adversaries.

Set 71748 belongs to the Ninjago theme and presents a sea battle connected with the island setting. Its focus on catamarans gives it a different profile from Ninjago models built around dragons, mechs or temples. The subject is a direct confrontation between the ninja and the island characters.

The build uses 780 pieces to create the craft and related play elements for the battle scene. Rebrickable lists 6 minifigures: Rumble Keeper, Zane - Islander, Thunder Keeper, Kai - Shoulder Guard (Islander), Jay with Shoulder Armor (Islander) and Chief Mammatus. The line up provides both sides of the conflict within the box.

This set suits story based play, especially chases, boarding actions and character duels on the water. It can also be displayed as a Ninjago sea scene, with the two catamarans defining the composition. For collectors, it fits among the island focused Ninjago releases and is useful for grouping the Islander variants of the ninja with their opponents.
