LEGO Ninjago 2025 Rumours and Discussion
Classic_Spaceman posted a topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
Fate(ful) has smiled on us today, and we now have a list of names, prices, and part-counts for Ninjago’s January 2025 wave! 71823: Kai’s Dragon Spinjitzu / 54 pieces / $10 71824: Sora’s Dragon Spinjitzu / 56 pieces / $10 71826: Dragon Spinjitzu Double Pack / 186 pieces / $20 71827: Zane’s Battle Mech / 92 pieces / $20 71828: Lloyd’s Race Car / 181 pieces / $30 71829: Lloyd’s Forest Dragon / 128 pieces / $20 71830: Kai’s Storm Rider Mech / 333 pieces / $40 71831: Ninja Spinjitzu Temple (4+) / 158 pieces / $40 71833: Ras’ Storm Jet / 510 pieces / $50 71834: Zane’s Ultra Combo Mech / 1187 pieces / $100 71841: Dragonian Storm Village / 305 pieces / $40 It looks like “Dragon Spinjitzu” will be the new gimmick, and possibly a new technique that the Ninja learn in Season 3; Lord Ras survives and continues to be an antagonist (not a surprise, but still a bit of a spoiler), and the villains are storm-themed. Considering that Nokt has blue markings (possibly storm elemental?) and physically resembles the Island Keepers, maybe their species is called “Dragonians” and they (or at least some of them) will return as the villain army in DR S3. 🤔 -
Here is my review on Ninjago Dragons Rising 71818 Tournament Battle Arena: THE GOOD: Looks surprisingly great on its own. Great building experience. Lots of play features especially compared to sets released in recent times. Excellent minifigures. THE NOT SO GOOD: Feel like $10 too expensive in RRP. Statue's beard can fell of quite easily depending on how to hold it. This is another great addition to the NInjago Dragons Rising theme. Driven by the looks and the minifigures included, I couldn't pass up a 20% off deal. Turns out it has a great building experience, due to the unique shape and look it provides a more refreshing experience than more common sets. It also looks great on its own, while being a play set it also feel very completed and has no issues on displaying on a table. Moreover, this is one of the recent sets that exceeds expectation in terms of play features. The Taiko build is great and the dropping mechanism works well. Then we have the statue that looks great with stairs that can transform into slope. Although I ended up making the beard to fell off due to the way I initially handle it. And of course being an arena, having feature to allow 2 minifigures to fight is brilliant. The minifigures selection is great and all are excellent. Sora has one of the most interesting hair piece recently, and this is the first set outside friends to get the green mohawk. The world mask warrior also has great effect parts and looks menacing but given it's weight it does make the minifigure hard to stand on his own. In the end, I really like the set and would recommend to anyone who is looking for some fund. Do try find the best deals though as the RRP does feel $10NZD too expensive.

Here is my review on LEGO Ninjago Dragons Rising 71819 Dragon Stone Shrine: THE GOOD: Looks great in all angles. Very detailed exterior with lots of small pieces for added texture. A building experience nothing like before. The waterfall and the pond are brilliant. The 3 action features are incorporated into the build so well, you don't even notice by looking at it. Excellent minifigures! THE NOT SO GOOD: none. This set looks absolutely beautiful! I'm surprised with how well it display after finished building. First the building experience has been great, and I believe due to its design and volume, it felt so refreshing. The end product looks so well in every angles, despite the shrine area is opened at the back for accessibility, the other parts of the location are so well designed both the front and the back makes it a 360 degrees display model. The dragon is so detailed with an excellent waterfall, the effect of the water dropping into the pond is so good. On top of that, the 3 action features are integrated into the build so well, if you haven't build it, you won't even notice. And all 3 works very well. The highlight for me is the stone where Lloyd and Ras battle, it's like a balance board but the whole mechanism is completely hidden. The dragon arm is also surprising well done with more articulation joints than your typical mech. Plus you get 6 excellent minifigures. This is probably one of the best sets this year so far and best Ninjago location set outside Ninjago City modular series. Without discount it's a bit expensive, I bought with 20% and I do think it's worth the price. Totally recommend this to everyone.

REVIEW: 71792 Sora's Transforming Mech Bike Racer
Pchan1983 posted a topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
Here is my review on 71792 Sora's Transforming Mech Bike Racer: THE GOOD: Excellent minifigures plus a new baby dragon all in one set. Cool colour schemes on the main build. Transformation works smoother than expected. THE NOT SO GOOD: High price. In bike form, some times it can be a bit wobbly due to the transformation feature. I like it to be honest, this caught my eyes with its minifigures and colour and it did not disappoint. The 3 minifigures are excellent with great printed details. My favourite is definitely Sora, she reminds me of Samurai Pizza Cat so much. The other two minifigures are very well done too, and Rapton's sword blew me away as I was expecting to be 2 separate pieces but in fact it's a one duel moulded piece. Can't wait to get extra when it eventually available from PAB or Bricklink. The bike/mech itself has cool colour matching Sora's outfit. The building experience isn't something unique but interesting enough to keep you engaged. Both the bike and mech by itself looks good, however when in bike form because of the transformation play feature, it can be wobbly (can't stand on its own) depending on how well you close some of the limbs in mech form. The transformation though works surprisingly smooth! The real down side of this set is really its high RRP, without discount it's hard to justify the price even with the excellent minifigures. However, it's not hard to get discount on this. Based on that while still priced on the higher end, it doesn't feel as ridiculous with a 20% off discount. I would still recommend this set to Ninjago fans or people who likes to collect detailed minifigures!
