LEGO 71789 Kai and Ras's Car and Bike Battle 

LEGO Audio & Braille Building Instructions for the LEGO Ninjago set "Kai and Ras's Car and bike Battle".

Get ready to join forces with Kai as he enters a high-speed race against the evil dragon hunter Lord Ras! Jump behind the wheel of Kai's supercool dragon car, rev the engine and zoom after Lord Ras on his powerful all-terrain trike. You must catch him to make sure he doesn’t grab the precious blue lightning. The future of the new NINJAGO world depends on you! Can you win this race?

On the box cover, the battle between Kai and Ras is in full swing. They are racing down the streets of Ninjago City, Kai in his blazing red dragon car and Ras on his black high-speed trike. Both vehicles are airbrushed with golden ornaments and are heavily equipped with weapons and tricks. One of Ras's trike swords is getting dangerously close to Kai's car wheels. Kai better watches out! In the background of the scene, the shrine with the blue lightning is located. It is the reason for this battle: Ras is trying to steal the blue lightning. In the bottom right corner of the box cover, there is a portrait of Kai in his red Merge suit and Ras in his metallic-grey, golden and maroon red suit. Find out more about the looks of this set during building. Let's get going!

Open the box. This can be tricky; ask someone to help you!

The box contains 2 booklets with visual building instructions, and 2 bags with numbers printed on them. Ask a sighted person to help you find the correct bag!

Open bag number 1. This bag contains all bricks and pieces for the Kai Minifigure and Kai's dragon car.

Before you start building, ask a sighted person to help you sort the pieces by color. This makes finding the correct pieces even easier!

and 1 bright red pair of legs.

Put the upper part of the body on the legs.

The first letter of his name in Ninjargon is printed on the right bottom front of his jacket in gold. He is wearing an armor-and-mask combination on his head and shoulders. At the back, there is a ring-shaped sword holder for his golden katana: if Kai ever needs both his hands empty, insert the blade of the katana into the side slots on the sword holder. His head has two face prints: one side shows a daring grin; there is a white band-aid above his left eye, and a scar above his right eye. On the other side, he is wearing the black eye mask with red claws, and his teeth are clenched.
