2 out of 11 isn't bad, well yes it is but hey it's better than 0. Though I had hoped for cheaper sets with more figures but I can only be so realistic.

Agreed. There was a bit of drought of non-licensed themes in around the mid-late 2010's(ish) but you can't pin that all on Ninjago, I mean we've have both Monkie kid and Hidden side quite recently. And whilst I do like getting other action themes do not get me wrong, I must say I do like the variety ninjago is giving us, a ninjago subtheme is less of an 'investment' than a whole proper theme and I mean that in more senses than one (e.g less design cost as less new character, less sales uncertainty as ninjago already sells, etc) so they can take what would otherwise be greater risks. Ninjago subthemes based on a idea would cover that idea in much less depth however in exchange(if you get my gist) we get a much greater breadth of ideas covered. And with action themes in general, well different things appeal to different people so the greater variety of idea explored works there too. I mean say they announce a new adventure theme and It's called 'Heroes of the Leg Godt Isles' it's a heavily D&D inspired theme with a diverse cast of heroes from different fantasy races and with different skills and weapons and they travels across theses isles to exciting locales based on things like ancient Mesopotamia, living mushrooms, hell and fae gardens, where they complete quests big and small such as finding a lost dog or vanquishing and immortal (and immoral) demon empress. And I'd love that and buy a lot of it (well budget dependant tbh). Now lets say instead of this that lego announces a different theme called 'Uber Nifty Ultra Agents : RELOADED!' That was full of over the top vehicles and no much else. I would buy much from that theme, it wouldn't really excite me. Now lets say we have 3 possible futures (all 3 years long) 1- 'Heroes of the Leg Godt Isles' is a new theme last for 3 years 2- 'Uber Nifty Ultra Agents : RELOADED!' is a new theme last for 3 years 3- 3 years of Ninjago with 2 waves that are inspired by the same ideas as these 2 new hypothetical themes alongside various other waves with fun ideas. Now personally I like future 1 the most and future 2 the least, with future 3 being the middle ground. So with a new theme to replace ninjago, i could either like it more or less than ninjago, but ninjago I'll like as much as I like ninjago... Okay that sentence made more sense before I typed it up, but that matters not, because we still get new action themes alongside ninjago, and I'm sure there are people who'd prefer 'Uber Nifty Ultra Agents : RELOADED!' to 'Heroes of the Leg Godt Isles' but with ninjago running alongside our hypothetical new theme, even if it the one that less your cup of tea then you could get some stuff that is more your cup of tea from ninjago as it varies so much. What I'm trying to say is that with ninjago being so variable it gives a bit of an edge over an unspecific new action theme as it can fill different niches in different waves whereas most themes tend to be pretty similar across most waves, of course that isn't saying that I think this means ninjago is better than most potential new action themes, just that not everyone is gonna like every action theme but ninjago with it's widely varying waves (yes it's a lot of vehicles and dragons but it's also more than that) is more likely to have something for everyone, not all in the same wave but still.

Well golden legacy Zane and Nya do actually use the Nya hair and FS ninja hood (respectively), though I'm hoping Nya also has a golden facemask. You can see their silhouettes on the back of the legacy boxes, which is how we know. (picture in spoiler) As for Ninjago city 3 (since that's basically what it is)... wow, it certainly looks to be on par with the other 2, which with how impressive those were is a tough feat. I'm not disappointed with the minifigure selection, though I will admit that including the museum without 'Doctor Sanders; or the Noodle house without Skylor isn't superb. That said civilians with references to lego's history are about what was expected and the easter eggs are fun. Since they've decided that ninjago city can be an ongoing series without needing the movie, I think we'll have plenty of opportunities to get more obscure show characters,

This is the one, it had just gotten a bit buried. And if you're in the mood for supporting castle themed lego ideas, I might be cheeky and plug my own project, The Dwarven mines!

Well it's not gonna be from Disney princesses because it has minifigure connections not minidoll, However the printing makes it look like a desert (pudding not plantless place) mermaid tail, what which the sauce and the waffle style print, which makes me think it's defo not a ninjago piece, but the same part with different printing could be used or who knows maybe pudding themed merpeople will be the next ninjago antagonists (but I very much doubt it).

Great review, entertaining and fair. The is a k- wing (because of course there is , it's pretty ugly imo), theres also an e-wing and lego made one of those, but they gave it a strange name like Jeff 40s sneaky ship ( aka JEK-14's Stealth Starfighter).

Since Mando season 2 has finished, here's a 'prediction wishlist' for the summer wave (A very optimistic one though) I'll go for the same number of sets at the same price points as the summer 2020 wave, but with 3 battlepacks as well as I'm really hoping we get some more soon. spoilers ahead. Though I would personally prefer a wave with more sets at lower pricepoints but i though it would be a better prediction if I used the same pricing stucture as lego did this year.

Maybe it's that she will probably still be one of the less prominent ninjas in the wave of sets .

Complaining about complaining? What's next complaining about complaining about complaining, I guess that's what I'm doing. Mando looks good, it's not a perfect set but what is? I do hope we get some more Rogue one sets soon, for the most beloved of the Disney movies it hasn't had many sets since its first wave.

Why I'm disappointed about no Cobb is because this would have been the perfect opportunity to include him in a set. That said I'm still looking forward to this set.

Over on Instant Grandma it's been said that we'll see official pictures of the Jan 2021 wave on November the 19th.

Luckily enough for me I've seen it but c'mon people, spoiler tags exist for a reason. I don't know, I mean you could say that a speeder transports it's rider and Lego set codenames aren't always the most logical things. And not to be pedantic but a sand crawler could be done for 30 but I'm not so sure that it should. That said, I'd quite like an ITT so I wouldn't complain if that was what we end up getting, though I do think I'd prefer a slightly larger one that how big I'd imagine one at this part count and price range, then again the rogue one hovertank was around that price range and that was a great set.

Well, I doubt we'd get arm printing but there is the Mudhorn signet he received in the finale. And I imagine that ( though it could it obviously be removed) jetpack would come with a season 2 Mando. Though these things are there in season 1, for the majority of season 1 he doesn't have them and unless he wrecks them or loses them I'm guessing he'll keep both throughout season 2, especially the signet as jetpacks do break.

I was looking at this earlier and something seemed off with tie but I wasn't sure what, now it's got the stripe it looks even better but it still looked good before. I do see what you mean about the boxyness of the y-wing ,thought I think you maybe over did it a bit, but it still looks good and if these were real Lego sets both would be on my radar as ones to pickup.

I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding here, in that Mandalorianknight seems to niche as in like an ecologiacl niche, as in a particluar space (In lego's product line) where it could work well, where as Brikkyy13 seems to mean niche as in obscure, like where the lego designers implied that the Tie bomber was too niche for a large lego set.

The headband thing confuses me, cause all the ninja have different hair.

I mean everything ends but this discussion seems to happen all the time and it's kind of pointless.

Hopefully It wouldn't be too cheeky for me to post my own medieval fantasy themed Ideas project on this thread. Hopefully you find it to be worth your support. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/0d8ccc5d-ea58-4071-a9d8-10ecb781a12b/comments_tab#content_nav_tabs

So if I've got this right for minfigures the X-wing has Luke and Artoo, the Tie has 3 (using the landspeeder figs as placeholders in the preliminary image) and we don't know anything about what figures come with the Lambda? I Imagine that the Lambda's figs will probably be based on either the Journey to the forest moon of Endor or Palpatine's arrival on the second death star. Though it would be cool if it was based off of rebels or the clone wars (but much more unlikely, especially as one only appears in one episode of each).

I was just speculating based off there usually being a retailer exclusive or something that isn't list when waves first get leaked, in combination with the helmet that has been leaked on IG. That the helmet could be for the Bad Batch is a guess but I'm not the first one to make that guess.

Since a few sets always fly under the radar (retailer exclusives and what have you) and there was a leaked Titanium Metallic Phase 2 clone helmet that was presumed to be for Hunter's Helmet, I am led to assume that there will be a retailer exclusives Bad Batch set.(Either from the new show or from the Clone Wars). If it wasn't coming soon then surely the helmet leaked very early.

People here seem to be dooming and glooming rather quickly. I won't make any judgements till the time is nearer and we have pictures, there are always a few sets that fly under the radar (like the throne room and the Baby Yoda from this most recent wave) that and I'm still expecting battlepacks, just later in the year perhaps. The one person ships had been getting too big and expensive anyway, they can now give that price point to ships and locations that deserve it. All that said I do hope they aren't trying to make this wave more 'kiddish'. Kids like the normal sets as do Adults, and for anything more simple they still have 4+. I do find it somewhat crazy that when lego realised that a lot of star wars sets sell to adults that they tried to change them, we already like what they had. Now nothing against the Art and the Helmets (which I know are both also trying to attract non lego buying adults) but if system sets are what brought people here then they should remember that.

I really like the sound of this, a smaller scale cheaper Tie sounds glorious and maybe this means that a Tie Bomber at the same scale might not be too 'obscure'(ha) for lego at the price point.

Medieval fantasy is a beloved genre but with the end of both the Castle and Lotr/Hobbit themes, it's one Lego has veered away from (though the latest ninjago wave does somewhat scratch that itch). Here I have build the sort of thing I would like to see from Lego. I have a different take on a dwarven mine compared to existing lego sets like 7036 which is a lot more industrialised than what I have built here. As you may have guessed I made this as a submission for Lego ideas (and I would appreciate your support ) . Thanks for taking a look, I hope you liked it.
