"Wolf Mask General" in 71820 is actually Tourament Jordana (from fateful)

Not sure if i can post image itself, but someone on discord leaked presumeably Ninjago set listing for January 1st 2024 (no names, just set numbers and prices in Euros)

ayy, congrats!

People suggested it might be- Ah, that explains, i missed on this somehow. Thank you from breaking me free from this

Tommy Andreason did congratulaed new writters on DR launch: "I have yet do dive in myself, but from what I've seen the reception has been overwhelmingly positive! It's always nice to know you're not needed ." which was followed by words of comfort by new writters. This heavily reminded me of that one said-to-be-fake leak, part of which had rumor that Tommy was laid off from ninjago after crystalized. Also it was confirmed that he is working on Dreamzzz (i saw photo from some presentation/con thing), interestingly it was part of same leak too. Leak was cluster of random info bits, so obviosuly most of it was actually fake (except for prelims part), but still i find it suspicous that some bits turned out to be true. Am i becoming "that" guy?

So things that yet to appear in DR: So far it's not that bad. I'd say i noticed a lot of similarities with plot season, not sure if that's intentional I've heard a lot of criticism toward DR, i guess people forgot it's meant to be kid-focused show? I mean, lego literally named it "Dragons Rising" solely because of internal research of what kids wanted from ninjago more. I'd say if you watch first ninjago seasons without being a fan like right now, you probably would have same reaction. My personal opinion about DR however:

I have theory that they might do sets where cores from gimmicks will appear (green - obviously big green dragon, orange and teal)

Watched review of new spinners from DuckBricks. These are terrible xd But really, can this be considered funny or concerning? Guy said that you have to loosen the joint by yourself in order it to reduce friction. Out of 3 only Lloyd's one spins properly, and simply because it's having rounded bottom. Nya's one literally doesn't work at all? Also they are tricky to spin in first place, new hoods are a bit part of this problem since there is no really good contact points on spinner itself for your fingers (tried spinning figure with ninjago movie mask by it's head?) There's also cool things in that review that i never had realized about new sets Hound is built in way that you can slam it on table and it won't spread legs at all (by sacrificing forward movement of back legs), and mech-bike's foot is not rigid and also adaptive to surface/leg pose

I personally imagine chancellor Palpatine-like guy, idk why Major spoiler about this whole Ras thing:

That's cool! I didn't get it when i looked at it first, but then i did read this is bounty's dragon but in red Very nice addition, also good that you mentiod it's bigger than it looks on set pics and can rival the hound. Size comparsion is difficul to tell sometimes

As long as they don't reuse same villains for each dragons rising wave, it's ok Since i'm kinda worried that imperium is going to be entire show's villain faction, which will reduce villain diversity in sets dramastically. core atleast could introduce new villains Ngl bone warriors looked so cool, i thought core will finally do better things. Oh well..

Uh oh, this might turn older fans away completely Let's hope it's not that bad

Feels like 2017-2018 all over again. Still to this day i encounter people that refuse to watch oni trilogy and hate anything that goes after it because... Because of ninja redesign, can you imagine I think problem is that people forgot they can grow up, thus develop more nostalgia to older seasons and hatred to any changes, because you want everything to be as good as you dreamily remember

I think post reads that mech-bike was meant to be "Mech that actually transforms by not rebuilding it", which why Chi Wing Lee was tasked to help with it in first place Pretty cool though
