LEGO Ninjago Ongoing Rumours and Discussion

[Lion King]

So - Mysterious Ronin from the upcoming CMF series had been leaked, only torso and legs, no head. It looks like the design is more like Ninjago style. According to the original leaker, there was suppsoed to be Lloyd include din Series 29. Is that Lloyd?

Pretty sure that's his symbol on the back, so I'd assume so (although who knows, maybe the reason it's partly covered by the cloth print is to leave it up in the air). I guess we'll probably get explicit confirmation once we see the head.

Yup, the editions game continues. If it’s really him, I wonder why he is called “mysterious ronin” tho. Lloyd is a ninja, not a samurai.But I he tthat Ninjago is a fictional world so ninjas can go be ronins, I guess.

Yeah I think it's just to make him sound cool and relatively unique, it helps set him apart from your more standard "Lloyd" or "Green Ninja."

Legacy X-1 charger (again) leaked

[Lyichir]

Officially revealed now: https://brickset.com/article/129965/lego-ninjago-71867-x-1-ninja-charger-announced!

I imagine this one will be a little divisive—it's gotten a lot bigger and lost most of its original muscle car shaping. But I do personally think it looks really cool—the enhanced size allows both the bike and car to look a lot more detailed. If accuracy to the show is your main interest it's probably not gonna be for you, but judging it solely on its own merits as a cool vehicle toy I like it a lot (and considering it's the third version of this vehicle I'm kinda happy they took it in a different direction).

I think it’s a nice build, just not 90 USD nice. For that amount, I’d have at least expected better (or more) minifigures or a side build. Looks like I’ll be 0/3 on the X-1 Chargers, better luck in 2031!

Wow that's a pretty disappointing way to end the anniversary sets haha (unless there's another coming that I'm not aware of). In fairness, it definitely doesn't look like a bad build, but I'm not super interested in the oversized vehicles personally and even at that size I think the price is comically bad. What is this, Star Wars??? And the minifigure selection is also shockingly paltry, the new elemental master is nice but then you get a repeat Kai and a nindroid. I'm pretty sure it's technically a new version of the nindroid (unless I'm forgetting some other recent set that comes with one) but I don't really get who this is for. If you've been into Ninjago for years then you probably have a million of them already since they've been brought back so many times, and if you don't have any then one generic nindroid is just going to be kinda pathetic on its own. Like even if they just threw in another repeat Ninja and another Nindroid (maybe Cryptor if they could afford a unique torso print), that would go such a long way in making the set feel like a better value. $90 for an overpriced car and only three minifigures, two of which are not exciting in the least, just feels bad. 

Ultimately I don't care that much (idk why I even wrote so much about this set lmao) since this isn't the kind of thing I would buy regardless, but I will say that I am not a fan of this price. I know there have still been a lot of decently affordable sets in recent years but I feel like some of the options this year are testing the boundaries in a bad way.
