    Definitely a few interesting leaks there. Most exciting are the twin titan mechs, which I suppose explains why Lloyd got a remake this year. I was initially upset that the slot was used for Lloyd instead of Kai or Nya, but now I’m (probably) satisfied! I do hope this isn’t the end for the titan mechs. I’d love to see Arin, Sora, Wyldfyre, and Wu get one! Speaking of Wyldfyre, great to hear she’s getting a larger set! It sounds intriguing, can’t wait to see it. The biggest disappointment is definitely the Ultra Dragon Battle not being the actual Ultra Dragon. I’m sure the set will be beautiful, I just had my hopes up for an Epic Dragon Battle display including the Devourer. Maybe for the 20th!

    It’s certainly interesting. As someone who skipped the last two X1’s, I’m curious to see if they’ll win me over this time! I expect the decision came from above that there needed to be a Kai vehicle around this price point, and the X1 might be the most iconic option. Certainly I’d prefer almost anything else, but if kids like the red cars then I can’t blame them. I have high hopes for the new Land Bounty. I bought the first one at a deep discount and actually found it kind of charming. If they can make improvements and/or take the design in a new enough direction, then I’m sure it could be a good set. Dragons Rising has yet to really let me down yet, so we’ll see.

    I do think it would be difficult to do the Devourer justice in a playset. Dragons are relatively easy because they have legs and wings and neck(s) to make exciting poses and scenes. A snake is more difficult to capture both the range of motion while also making something that can be “sat up” in the way that the 2012 model was. If we do ever see it in a set, it might work better as a display/diorama build instead, aimed at older fans who have nostalgia for the first season. I’m not saying it’s impossible, and I’d like to be proven wrong, but it definitely presents new challenges not yet tackled in a satisfying way.

    We know the Serpentine tail is still in production as of this year. I also think it’s likely that Pythor’s head is still around, considering how often he shows up. Add a couple of ZX ninja and Garmadon and you’d be set (really Garmadon should have four arms but that would require a new mold, and I could see them skimping out on that). Ideally we’d see a few other Serpentine as well. I think a good compromise would be a common mold that could be recolored and printed for each tribe, maybe for the likes of Mezmo and Chokun. Bonus points if it could also be used for Frak later down the line.

    Since we’ve already had three location sets and one mech for the anniversary, I think it’s unlikely the final set is another building. I’m guessing it’ll either be a dragon or a vehicle of some sort. I’d welcome a Morro Dragon, Master Wu Dragon, or Titanium Dragon. Not sure which vehicles (if any) are iconic enough for a remake. Maybe Cole’s Tread Assault? I’d prefer something more obscure like Garmatron or the Ninjacopter, but everything so far (minus the Old Town) has been fairly iconic in Ninjago history.

    We don’t have a description yet other than that it won’t be a city modular. There’s also a leaked minifigure list that can be found on Reddit: Young Wu Young Garmadon First Spinjitzu Master Faith Mystake Krux Acronix Garmadon Ed Wu Dr. Julien Harumi Jay Zane Postman Nya Cole Lloyd Kai Travel Agent Thief Loyalist x2

    Plus Lloyd’s Titan Mech coming in March I believe. A supposed minifig list for the “Old Town” set has leaked. Not sure about the source, but if it’s true this could go down as one of the best lineups in Ninjago history. Again, I’m skeptical, especially considering it includes long awaited characters like Dr. Julien and the return of Krux, Acronix, Harumi, and others. Anyone have any insight as to whether or not it could be true? The wide variety would lead me to definitely think it’s another city modular, as the characters are truly all over the place.

    The build looks incredible! So many fun details and a beautiful fully enclosed building! It seems they are also sparing no expense for the minifigs. This set has 5-6 completely unique figures (depending on if Wu is repeated elsewhere) and they all look amazing and fairly accurate to the source material. I’m glad they brought back Nya’s original hair and I would have liked Kai to get a similar treatment. And the anniversary figure is one I never expected to see in a real set. Definitely better than getting another round of golden ninja!

    I honestly don’t mind the new mask, I think it’s an interesting take on the ZX ones without feeling too similar. But I’m not a fan of all 5 (6?) ninja having gold accents. Gold is overdone and really doesn’t look as good on Jay and Lloyd. I want to see the theme branch out more into silver or another metallic color. I do wonder what version(s) of Nya we’ll see. I’d imagine we’ll get a Samurai X remake in the anniversary display set. But in the blacksmith, maybe 2011 Nya? I could also see them just reusing the S1 suits or even just DR ones. My personal pick would be a reimagined ZX ninja suit for Nya, but that seems very unlikely.

    I like the look of the Dragon of Life, although I wish it was a source dragon. As this is the largest set from the winter wave, I doubt we’ll also see a large dragon in summer 2026. That means at minimum there’d be a 3 year gap in source dragons. I’m guessing LEGO isn’t interested in making the rest, or the first one underperformed. It was recently on sale in the US… With the dragon’s hind legs being the color and texture of rock, I wonder if the dragon can strike a pose disguising it as a tree. That would explain the somewhat awkward wing position shown in this image. Otherwise it’s an odd coloring choice. I’ll have to wait and see how it looks in official images. I’m not super convinced by the new dragon forms for the ninja. Maybe it’s the dominance of the secondary colors, I’m not sure. The throwback ZX suits on the other hand are promising - especially with a fun new take on the 2012 hoods.

    I could easily see the green tentacle minifigure as the poison monster, leaving the serpentine in some yet-to-be-leaked set. So far there lists sound very generous, but it’s surprising that neither Wyldfyre nor Ras is in any of the sets (so far) and Arin and Sora only appear once each. I’m assuming at least one of them will be in the Riyu set, but who knows. I’d like if the new ninja got more of a focus. And I’d certainly prefer them to get dragon suits too.
  12. Rolyat24
    I know there’s almost no chance of ever getting a dark fortress remake, but wouldn’t that be so cool? The original set was one of my favorites in 2011, but its building techniques and size leave a lot to be desired. Imagine a huge remake with a full interior, rising drawbridge, and more accurate skeleton spider. Maybe I’ll have to moc my own someday.

    I think I’m just in denial that SotFS was that long ago! You’re right, this does have the potential to be really large and detailed. I’m excited to see another large mech after Cole’s, even if I’d prefer a different character to get one. I would welcome an Akita minifigure, but I don’t want to get my hopes up. For now, I’ll assume just one mech pilot Lloyd and maybe an anniversary fig.
  14. Rolyat24
    71860 is apparently an anniversary Lloyd’s Titan Mech with 1293 pieces. This seems like an odd choice, since 1) The original set isn’t all that old 2) It’ll be hard to top and 3) Nya and Kai still haven’t gotten a first Titan Mech. I’m hoping it’ll at least be different enough from the original to stand out. Maybe with some of the articulation included in Cole’s. I’d also like to see more than one minifigure, maybe a character from the Ice Chapter.

    We don’t have any details for the set other than the supposed name and piece count. The latter points towards a city expansion, but the name doesn’t follow the conventions we’re used to. It could be preliminary and actually called Ninjago City Old Town or something like that. Or it could be a standalone set similar to Tournament Temple City.
