How do you know this Exetrius?

Official images have been found now ;)

One thing that remains to be seen from the Ninjago Movie sets: printed traditional(-ish) banners. I suspect the smallest set contains one:

Brickset have a picture of the Temple of the Ultimate Ultimate weapon up on their site:

Looks like it has great Moc potential and will be a nice accompaniment to the Temple of Ninjago

With some small cosmetic modding and just an iota of imagination, I'm planning on using the Ninjago Movie mech dragon  (pictured below) as a real beast.

Truth be told, there often isn't much difference between LEGO's mech monsters and how you would brick build the same creature. I converted Flinx's phoenix from the Chima range to make it into an actual phoenix; not much modding was required.

The hood on the Lloyd Ninjago CMF might be useful for caped characters, although the attached hair is a bit modern.

You could also use the spoon for a Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves MOC.

And the bowl is useful for anyone interested in a large medieval feast.

[Robert8]

Both bowls, the hood and all the weapons 

Even some of the hairpieces: Kai's hairpiece would be useful for someone hanging upside down. Maybe a prisioner being tortured in a dungeon or something

[Niku]

I find the Ninjago sets(dragon, fortress and boat) attractive, will try to get those.
The minifigs series a disappointmen thought.

That went dark fast.

You'll need to mod this out though:

True, but that'll be really easy to mod. The engines or whatever they're supposed to be are designed to fold away so can be hidden. Besides, as they're non-structural in the sense of not supporting the rest of the build, they can be removed or replaced with something that looks more organic. I was planning on using the dragon as a giant terrestrial lizard, but if I ever decided to make it aerial, that is where I would attach the wings. 

PS. If anyone was wondering what this beastie looks like without stickers, Jang shows us starting at 1:30 into his YouTube review. In Jang's opinion, it looks better without stickers. I agree.

You could use pink and red pieces to be like the dragon's blood and guts and give it a "play dead" mode.

[Exetrius]

Just saw the new DC Superheroes sets. There will be a whole set of new magic power blasts of some sort. Amazing, much needed! 

[Vorkosigan]

After stripping the printing the Lord Krakenskull helmet from NK is great for historic fantasy figs. The Elves shield for the latest waves is very nice as well. 

 

[Agent Kallus]

ha I'd planned on doing that with the eye tile and the Kraken skull helm.

[x105Black]

Yeah, that looks pretty nice.  If only I could get myself to be OK with altering pieces.

If it's a NK piece then it's okay to do anything to it?

[Lyichir]

So guess which Lego character turned out to be a Castle fan?

[Agent Kallus]

Emily from elves?

[x105Black]

Nice.  They should release that set.  Or one like it.

[Artanis I]

Looks like it's supposed to be 6080 from 1984 (minus the 12 minifigs & 4 horses!) but with the 1992 dragon, haha.

[Robert8]

Those hands look creepy

Hi,

 

is this an official image and is this supposed to be some kind of hint? I am still hoping for new castle sets next year (with the Lego anniversary and so), or is this just a fun image?

[Mr. Cube]

That shield is great piece. There is my custom Mordor Orc.

It's a screenshot from one of the new Elves webisodes but I doubt it's meant as a hint at future product—just an Easter egg paying homage to the Elves theme's Castle heritage.
