Tough call...I can think of positives for all of them.
BUT,
Ultimately, the 6093 FNF...
Reasoning:
10 Sloped rock walls
Good selection of figures
White Log walls+bricks
Interesting (if incomplete) design
> 2 Which is your favorite piece introduced by the Ninja theme?
TIE SCORE: Dark Gray Samurai Armor + Rock Walls
(Honorable mention to Big Brown Doors)
Reasoning: There are so many "essential" elements needed to capture that
authentic feel, but these elements typify the appeal of this theme (for me)
It is hard to replicate the armor piece or sloped walls with standard Lego
elements. The armor is unique, but has broader applications as Police/SWAT

challenge to integrate in many MOCs, but to replicate any reasonable
facsimilie would consume copius amounts of standard slopes.

Reasoned response: The Emperor from the 3053 Stronghold This torso is quite
detailed and very "Regal" in appearance. I think this torso graphic is one
of the best ever produced.
> 4 what part do you wish TLC had made for the Ninja theme?
Ahhhh...very intriguing question, indeed...
At the top of a very Long list:
Corner Rock Wall Slope
Honorable mention: Short sword to match katana
