LEGO Ninjago 2023 Discussion

It's great to see more of these 2 minifig polybags being made, it's honestly such a good value to get 2 figs for just $4.99. If only I could consistently actually find polypags at stores :(

I wouldn't worry about that. Both Lego city and friends have the entire wave revealed at once, so I suspect we'll see them all at once. As for the time, the sets that have just been revealed (polybag included) are ones that  will be added to Lego.com tomorrow, since they are all listed on Lego's instruction portal, while none of the ninjago sets are. However, I do think we could see ninjago sets tomorrow at this time, if Lego's intention is to reveal them on Wednesday. We just need to be patient.

So new polybag, we will take that! Looks like a steal for 5 quid but I’m guessing it will be hard to find. Hopefully it’s a gwp or I may just pick it up on bricklink. Gives us a first look at how the new suits work, and ehhhh it’s alright. Not as bad as in the leaks but that line dividing the top and bottom of the mask is an eyesore and a half. New eye print though looks interesting, I wonder how that works in the show. Rapton looks great, if not a little under detailed compared to the show. Temple build looks pretty nice. 
 

Someone mentioned the city sets, sweet baby those ocean exploration vessels look amazing, although this is the wrong thread now. Onwards to ninjago!

The Rempress figure hair piece comes in dark red in the big orca bot from city. Looks cool.

Is that Sora's hairpiece recoloured in set 60380?

Good catch! Yeah, seems to be a lot of Ninjago parts in the city sets. As I pointed out earlier, I’m pretty sure the Rempress hair piece is featured in 60368 (the big expedition ship). In dark red, at the back of the vessel. 

Dreamzzzz has been revealed, looks pretty damn good. Now it’s just minecraft and Ninjago. Where are these sets?!

[thebigapple445]

I think that they are for sure coming today.

Most likely speculation. Gotta be patient now, I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t get anything big today as Lego will want Dreamzzz to sit on its own and not be overshadowed. Hope I’m wrong though.

yep, but i mean come on, JB spielwaren looks to be ready to drop the ninjago sets any moment now. Minecraft and ninjago being the only ones left. Maybe lego do another trailer today, maybe not. I think sets WILL come though, but NOT from lego.

Would be nice to get the offical trailer and set pics side by side

honestly i have the same idea as you, however an official trailer is more likely through mid-may

However set images are definitely revealing today or tomorrow, either from JB Spielwaren or LEGO

New polybag!

 

Oh hey, first look at guys!
Kai looks way cooler with his alt face, somehow it fits more for those new masks, wonder what it'll be for othr ninjas like Zane
Rapton looks, interesting. Armor piece is amazing, and seems he's having a scar in minifig version? He looks creepy in both ways, and lowkey reminds me of Jet-Jack fron Hunted

we have to wait till 2-3pm UK timing to see

[Harren Tonderen]

Apparently there's better pic with polybag that shows Rapton minifig indeed have second facial expression, very cool!

[Harren Tonderen]

I might be wrong but seems Rapton have transparent-orange katana?
You can kinda see it's darker where he holds it, meanwhile Kai's golden one for comparsion doesn't. And that "dark" is under different angle on this 2nd photo and it's way more obvious (i hope it's allowed right? It's not really a "leak" since it's apart of JB's polybag reveal)

 

Damn it how to post photos here? It's so confusing

It seems that literally everything else will leak before the actual, retailer sets (even the D2C leaked )

I really like what I'm seeing here. Kai looks pretty great. I love the alternative faceprint, looks so much better with this suit. 

The mask would be good, if the two pieces it was made of weren't so noticeably separate. I suppose it might look better in darker shades, for example on Cole.

I particularly love the fact that they've finally stopped using black hands for all Ninjas, and instead are using darker shades of their respective colours.

Rapton looks fantastic, and so does the build. Overall a great deal for 5€.

[a guy from somewhere]

Hmmmmm not looking good for Ninjago so far. I doubt we will get much for the rest of the (uk) day, hopefully those across the great pond will see them revealed in the late evening.

This is what we said yesterday, haha. Maybe (definitely) tons of short form entertainment has ruined my ability to be patient but they are drawing this out way too much. This wave and wait had better be worth it.

last year LEGO revealed NINJAGO crystallized sets on their actual webiste (not the playzone) May 3rd, also if NINJAGO Dragons Rising sets reveal today they will take away the grandeur from Dreamzz sets so most probably tomorrow

Yeah thats what im thinking. Speaking of dreamzzz I hope that sword mould that appeared in gold for the hero's and black for the eye villain appeared in this wave somewhere, even just as a throwaway trophy display in some treasure room in a temple, it looks really cool but I dont want to devote a chunk of my budget into dreamzzz just for one piece, and ive had problems with BrickLink so thats of the table.

unlikely to happen, because it seems to be a new piece exclusive to dreamzzz, but it could happen for maybe 2024 dragons rising

[THELEGOBATMAN]

Yeah, looks like they're saving Ninjago as the final reveal.

I think they'll officially reveal the remaining sets tomorrow, and make a grand Ninjago reveal on Thursday.

As much as I hate this, this is most likely the plan. do minecraft tomorrow, throw us a trailer to keep us entertained and then do the big reveal on Thursday. Dang, its annoying. At least we got the poly bag today.
