The cardboard prints are almost the same with NRG Zane just that there are slight different in the prints near the spinner and crown, printed Lloyd ZX cover, and different product been advertise and different pictures of Ninja and spinner at the back. There are parts from China too, nonetheless, this is a rare minifig that only appears in the biggest set and is quite very fast been snapped up from the retail shelf.

Content
The set comes with three sheets of paper which one of them comes in multi-language which you can see on the left side of the instruction sheet, spinner, crown, cards and a bag of bricks. No instructions given on how to assemble your spinners and weapon as they are not complicated and can be build by looking at the box art.

Accessories
We get a brown part which symbolize wooden stick, a katana and a golden dual scythe. The golden weapon is very hard to wield since it is too long.

Minifig
It was just a ninjain different color and different prints but it is still very cute and very hard to resist it. Lloyd ZX has his leg and both side of his torso printed also comes with shoulder pad. Printed on his back was a snake logo. He have dual expression, share the same head with the young Lloyd.

Spinner and Crown
Lloyd ZX have a slightly different spinner. The spinner was somewhat gold spinner with the four elements printed on top of it. The translucent dark green crown also have all the four elements printed on it and sadly I attached the crown wrongly and the elements are exactly right on top of the one they are suppose to be.

Some additional parts to upgrade the spinner when you use the right cards. For this set, you get green and black parts. Is nice to have the translucent dark green parts.

Cards
The that comes with Lloyd ZX are different a little in terms of design as you can see on the left of the cards, it was printed with all 4 elements SP. No idea how this game goes, but seems like Lloyd ZX have some upper hand?

Completed model
This is one of the most popular spinner set that I can tell. Overnight all four of them been cleaned off from the shelf and I have to seek help from my friend to get it for me. Thinking whether I should duplicate this set or not.
