The box itself features the characters and model posed in an epic action scene, while the back of the box shows the numerous play features and dimensions, which is par for the course. While the set’s name is Temple of the Ultimate Ultimate Weapon, some early press materials we received referred to the it as the Temple of Ultimate Trials, so it’s likely the set underwent a name change not too long before release. Our review copy’s box has only the set number on it, with no name or part count, though many countries will have this info on there. The main accent color is dark blue, which nicely offsets the grey.

The completed model is a temple façade with two Chinese-style guardian lions, and the overall color theme is sure to please castle builders, as it contains a healthy serving of grey bricks. The Temple of the Ultimate Ultimate Weapon is the third largest set in the series, behind 70618 Destiny’s Bounty and 70620 NINJAGO City. This set is due for release Augand has 1,403 pieces. Now, we’re able kick things off big with a review of 70617 Temple of the Ultimate Ultimate Weapon.
