The story is over and done with, just end it here and now. -Sci I thought everyone knew it was continuing. I mean, there's a theatricality release movie coming around 2016. Quote
Lego Spy Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Really? 2016? How is Ninjago still going to be popular... Quote
CM4Sci Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 They said they'd do it if the LEGO Movie response was well. -Sci Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Look at bionicle, that lasted 9 years...there's always something...always Quote
Lego Spy Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I guess, but it almost seems like Ninjago's time has already come and gone. Quote
TheLazyChicken Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Wow, I didn't know that Ninjago was still going to last. Anyways, this is good news. I hope they have a complete season full of fish people and I hope they go underwater. Also they could do a season where they go underground. Quote

Thelegomaster Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Anyone see this: "overlord is a clandestine figure" on the agents description for summer 2014. So it might mean that The Overlord is the worst villain in the lego universe!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote

It was just a general term used for the master enemy. Quote

Or did the person who made the report, not inculde a Ninjago part and accdidently mixed it with Ultra Agents No. The person writing that Toy Fair review is using overlord as a common noun, not a proper name. So it's AN overlord, specifically the overlord of that theme. It's not THE capital-O Overlord from Ninjago. Same way the green ninjas from the old turn-of-the-century Ninja theme are both green ninja, but neither of them is THE Green Ninja from Ninjago. Quote

What if he saw both the Agents AND Ninjago sets and they both had the same villain that appeared to be the Overlord?Anyways I'm alright with this theme continuing, so long as we eventually get Misako, I'm good.

DraikNova Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Am I the only person (besides Aanchir) who knows that "(Evil) Overlord" is a popular cliche in supervillain titles, probably where the OverLord got his name and generally used to refer to the mastermind of an operation? Speaking of which, am I the only one who hopes that the OverLord will become a slightly more impressive villain? So far he's pulled of no complex plans and has merely used brute force. Even him lying to Garmadon is a pretty easy plan, as Garmadon can't see an obvious trope if it spinjitzu'd him into a wall. Edited January 22, 2014 by DraikNova Quote
Mandate Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I'm sorry, what? The Overlord's plans are incredibly complex down to the very groundwork of the plot. He assisted in the creation of the Great Devourer, and, perhaps the Serpentine too, and most likely had MAJOR ties to the Underworld with the Stone Army's origin probably coming from there. Like he said in Episode 20, everything in his grand plan moved together "like the gears of a clock." Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Space Theme? They go looking for there golden weapons...run into a Samurai StarLord...could work...:) Quote
DraikNova Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Even though he created the Great Devourer, I doubt his plan at the time was anything beyond "wreck stuff". Most of his plots seem to have succeeded only because of dumb luck. Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Sometimes tht's just how villains work...wreck some stuff, have a giant snake eat sensei...you know, all part of the plan ;) Quote

Most of his plots seem to have succeeded only because of dumb luck. No, he created the Great Devourer knowing that it would bite Garmadon and turn him into the Dark Lord. The Overlord and the First Spinjitzu Master both knew everything that would happen, and this is further evidenced by the Temple of Light's "pictures". The plan was far more than to just destroy things. Nothing in NINJAGO happened by "dumb luck". Everything had cause and effect. Also bring in the equation of "destiny" into it. The only thing so far that has seemingly happened by "dumb luck" is the Overlord's survival as a computer virus. Even then, they're sure to elaborate on that further. Garmadon and Wu are a lot older than they seem. They were both around before the Great Devourer and the Serpentine were imprisoned (how would the Serpentine know how to unleash the Great Devourer if they had been imprisoned first?) For perhaps thousands of years they fought alongside each other as the venom worked inside of Garmadon. Eventually, Kai's father grew up and became great friends with at least Wu, while Garmadon and Wu started their love triangle with Misako Eventually, Kai's father had his own kids, and Garmadon further creeped into darkness until he had Lloyd, probably when Kai was thirteen. After that Garmadon turned evil, and Wu defeated him. Wu hid the Golden Weapons, and gave a map to Kai's father to keep. At some point in the future (a part I have little knowledge about here, so excuse me if I get something wrong) he had an adventure to do with a thing called the "Tower of Tears" and a mirror showed him that he would need to form a team of ninja. As I said, I am unsure of that last part, but I know that Wu at least had a vision of why he needed to form the ninja. But anyway, this is getting off-topic but you know the rest of the plot. Or you will, if you watch the TV show Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Really good point! Everything has it's place in the Ninjago World! Quote
TPLSTER21 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 On the Brick Fan website yesterday, someone snuck a photo of the City display. In the background of that photo was what I believe to be the X-1 Charger. For anyone else that saved the image, it looks like it is shown as a poster on the wall in the background. It is similar to Corydoras' description of the set. It looks like a F1 car though. Narrow body, red colour (but may have white on the sides...hard to tell) large open wheels with gold rims and what looks like some kind of large black spoiler/engine/turbine/missile launcher on the back of it. Corydoras also mentions a Nindroid with a jetpack and there appears to be a very blurry shot of just such a thing above the vehicle. I'm totally unsure of this though, since there is no signage in that area for Ninjago. Anyone else seen this? Corydoras, does my description match/jive with what you saw? Sadly, the reports from London Toyfair have all paid little to no attention to this theme..... Quote

Wu hid the Golden Weapons, and gave a map to Kai's father to keep... The problem with that all happening thousands of years ago is that at the very beginning of the TV show, when Kai meets him, Wu looks old (relatively, of course), but when Wu fought Garmadon (see The Battle Between Brothers, and when he talks to Kai about hiding the weapons), he looks young, and by your calculations that was less than ten years before. Of course, Lloyd was born some time before Garmadon fell, and that was certainly less than twelve years before Lloyd unleashed the Serpentine. So Ninjago is just all messed up with dates BTW, I think that I talked about this before with someone; the producers probably didn't expect anyone to bother to try to find out when it all happened On 1/22/2014 at 10:27 PM, CM4S said: Looks like a Technic vehicle. pic -Sci I'm not quite sure I see it, thanks for the pic anyways, though EDIT: Ok, I see it now Edited January 23, 2014 by Garmadon Quote
Dr.Cogg Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I think its the Batmanmobile (with light glare on the poster) because the Bat Plane is above it. Quote
CM4Sci Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Yeah, the Joker Steamroller is right under it. -Sci Quote

TPLSTER21 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Ah....okay. My bad!! I thought that it was a bit of a departure from the winter wave sets design-wise. Thanks for the heads-up and information! I guess we will find out what both sets look like next week at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. Quote
