    The new minifgures look very interesting, especially the green villain, all the plant like parts on them, makes it look like this season would be Jungle/forest theme, or just the villains have a plant theme to them. If this character is just a generic villain that comes in multiple sets, then that would be amazing, but I suspect that there would also be some more basic villains then that. On the other hand that hooded character feels a bit boring, until we get higher quality image, I can't fully judge the design. The ninja feel like some special versions, just like the 2022 Golden Dragon Ninja, since like this they could only pilot some very exposed vehicles,. But even with that these still should be the regular versions, as there are now 4 new ninja, and It's still unknown if Jay comes back to the team, so the vehicles here could be mostly for them, and then maybe one of the og ninja could get a bike. We also know set numbers for the January wave: 71849-71851 all $10 have to be the gimmick sets, 71861 and 71858 - $90 are both 14+, so they are most likely for Legends. So with that there are 6 regular sets for January. For which we only know that 71854 is $30, so 71855 - 71857 are most likely from $30 to $90. The prices for the top 3 sets are a bit tricky, as there are some missing numbers. So I expect that 71866 is the same as the Dragonian Storm Village, with a higher set number, but a lower price and piece count, the reason for that, is this set most lkely being a Lego Store exclusive. The information is limited, so that's all that I can really say about this sets for now.

    It was expected that this theme won't last too long, but still there were some really great designs here, so it's a shame that it will most likely end next year with 5 more sets. 71395 Mateo vs Brain mech has some heavy original theme villain mech vibes, especially to Dr inferno's mech from Agents. I absolutely adore the design of it, with the color scheme of mostly black with some azure accents with trans pink and white just on certain sections. Only the vibrant yellow feels a bit out of place here. That new piece on the staff looks interesting, I expect that it would be used a lot this wave, with it having some very different uses, like they did with the previous parts like that. The Mateo included here looks very interesting. The desing on his regular side is the same as in his January Car. Alongside the transparent arm and leg, I think he also has a trans green head, which means that the face print won't look great. The weapon that he's got reminds me of Chima, since there were plenty of large brick build weapons, that felt too heavy for the characters. The price of $30 here is great with 365 parts, it's only got 2 minifigures if you count that dreamling, but the quality might make the quantity seem alright. So with that this goes to my wanted sets list, but I'm really not sure about that since dreamzzz isn't a big priority for me, like I had sets that I wanted from the previous waves, but I only have one small set from the theme, and while I liked that set, I wouldn't have gotten it if not for the great discount. I believe that this type of attitude towards getting sets from this theme(that most likely a lot of lego fans have), might be the reason why it's not selling too well. As you would be more likely to get something from a theme that you collected for quite some time, and also had interest in other forms of media that theme is tied to(shows, movies...). Also there have been plenty of original lego action themes before, which didn't go too far, so from the start of the theme Dreamzzz you'd have the thought that this theme also won't last too long, so why bother with it that much. I've got Like $300+ worth of Nexo Knights sets, These sets that I got are great, and I don't really regret getting theme. But I've got the feeling that the money used on them could have gone to Ninjago sets during that time, as I don't have any sets from Skybound or Hands OfTime because of that.

    Rontu has to be one of the worst dragons from this theme in my opinion, from the shape she looks nothing like she was in the show. Even if I'd judge her as just a dragon, then still the build here is very blocky and clunky. Rogue's mech dragon - it's a very unique dragon, and especially a unique lightning dragon with all the white and gray, and I adore this fact about it. It reminds me of that concept art for Cole's 2016 dragon. only the price here isn't the best, especially with just 4 minifigures, but if it were $60 I wouldn't have a problem with it. With this being the only set to get Rox I really hoped that this set would be great, and I'd say that it's not perfect, but I'm satisfied with it. Speaking of Rox, I didn't expect for her to use the mid legs, but these do make her standout from the other Forbidden 5. Also I thought that they didn't include the cape on Nokt, because Rox would have it, but that is just not the case here, and thats a bit weird. The combat vehicle - I had low expectation for this, but now I'd say that this set looks great. Maybe except the price, but at least it's using some large wheel parts to justify it a bit, but still this shouldn't have been more then $80(and that dosn't even feel that great) I like how compact this vehicle is, as well the consistant color scheme, that makes the combined form not look like it can split. Frak has a new head piece, which also features a green hood. Drix and Rogue cars - For a 4+ set this isn't too bad, the best part here is Nya, since the only other set she comes in this wave is $200. Rogue also gets an exclusive hood piece here. So at $20 just for the minifgures and that Blade piece this feels fine. Also the Spectral Dragonians use transparent legs and arms. I loved that on the Vengestone Warriors, and I love it here.

    I saw this image before, and it's fake. The head is from 71754 Water dragon, while the body is just the source dragon of motion.

    I just found some awful news regarding the Rebirth sets. The prices have been increased on some of the sets, but it's at least only in usd from what I can tell. Now I hope it doesn't change in other places, since the original prices aren't that great in the first place, and if they were even higher I probably would have still gotten the stuff I want, but I'd have to wait for a really nice discount. 76970 $25 - $28 76972 $35 - $39 76973 $100 - $110 76976 $150 - $160

    There's also going to be a polybag with Arin and a Dragonian.

    I think all of the sets look really solid, but there are some problems that I've got with them. Also that does confirm that the descriptions that we got are for the final sets, and there definitely won't be any changes to the final sets. Lloyd's transforming mech jet - this definitely is my favorite set here, my two main interests are Ninjago and Transformers, so this is perfect for me. I also really love the small bone dragon, it's neat on it's own, but the fact that it combines with Thundefang is even better. This set is definitely a must have for me now, even without Kur being exclusive here. Temple Bounty - this was one of the sets that I was the most looking forward to, but I have too say that personally I'm not that into it. The overall design just feels quite boring with that color scheme, and some parts of the build. What's great about it is the size, since it really feels massive for the $200. But with that being said there would be problems with finding space for something this big. The minifigures also aren't too interesting(even with the exclusive Zane and Nya) 6 minifigures feels really weak, especially with that Wyldfyre that's been in like 4 set waves already. Maybe if we get more images I'd be more of a fan of this bounty. The 2 sets for ninjago legends look absolutely stunning, I'm more of a fan of how the Fire knight mech display looks, but $120 feels like too much for what you get. I believe that this is the reveal blade from the descriptions. It most likely works like the magnifying glass from the 3rd wave of Alpha Team, so the banners would have a lot of red on them, which disappears when you use the transparent red blade.

    So far I'm quite mixed on these new sets. My personal favorite set has to be the Titanosaurus set. It's 2 new dinos(with one being huge), and I also really love that gas station build(especially all the detail that make it look abandoned) the small camp build is also neat, I'm only not a fan of that small car. $100 isn't great for this, but it also isn't too bad, I feel like it being $80 or less would have been asking too much. the car from The Velociraptor set might just be the best looking car from these whole theme. It's just a really neat and compact off-road car. there's also the exclusive Aquilops piece here, but the price feels really bad, if you compare it to the Dilophosaurus set, which also had a car, small terrain build, and small dino, but was $15 less. The Temple looks amazing from what can be seen, and I expect that it would have some fun details on the inside, but it's literally got just the 2 vehicles from that one 2021 Carnotaurus set, and I only care for one of the dinos here. So at $150 this just feels like an easy skip for me. That Boat is just too undersized for how it was in the movie, that just makes it look funny, and without any molded dinos here I just don't have any interest in this set personally. The T-rex set is really overpriced with a dino that has been featured so many times, so that just feel like a very easy skip for me. Now there are 2 weird things about this wave. First one is the minifigure distribiution, since to have the 2 main characters exclusive to 2 $100+ set doesn't look right, like it really makes it weird to have 3 sets with just 2 random side characters from the movie. It's werid seeing something like that after multiple movie set waves with at least 5 Owens. The other thing is the lack of the D-rex, with which I have low hopes that would actually happen, as the set wave feels complete, and if they were to have a set with it then it would have been another large structure build, and the Spino and Quetz set is just that, so to have to set of the same type would have been weird. But there's one skipped set number, and this images werent revealed by some official source, and Lego might have really wanted to keep that one set a secret, so that might still maybe happen.

    Zane in his full storm suit is also going to be in a magazine, as the new ninjago cards revealed some of the minifigures said to show up in future magazine issues. Also I've seen images of a new ninjago book, which will include Storm suit Zane with hair.
  10. mantax
    The next magazine will include Morro. This just feels like a really great character to get. Not only is he a special minifigure exclusive to just 1 set, but also he was the main villain of season 5. I was thinking about getting the Dragonian village only because of the minifigures, and I just personally wasn't a fan of the build at all. Now when there won't be any exclusive minifigures, this set will be an easy skip for me.
  11. mantax
    By my count it's around 313 parts, at least the parts that you can see, and if you duplicate the same parts that would be on the other side. So if the $25 set has 339 parts, I don't really see the insides of the Mosa consisting of just 26 parts. With that I suspect it's included in either the $100 or $150 set which would also include the Boat and a Spino. I do see a reason for there to be both a brick build dino and a molded one in one set, as the mosa is so much larger then the spinos, so that would be the only way for them to keep some kind of scale.
  12. mantax
    I was a bit skeptical about these new revealed dinosoaurs, but just now Just2good realesed a video on them, and in the video there was a teaser for the trailer made by lego themselves, which featured that same spino, so all the other dinos should be 100% legit. It's just so great to be finally getting a spino, and I'd say that this one looks really neat, it might be a bit too far away from the JP3 one, but I'm personally just a fan of the Spinosaurus of any kind. I've got some problems with the titanosaurus, as I really wasn't a fan of how they did the Brachiousaurs, and this one basically has all the main problems that I had with it(no movement in the legs, large gap on the neck), So I'd only get this if the set that it comes in look good, and doesn't have that much of a bad price. I don't care about the Quetzacoatlus, as I've got the previous one(which I prefer over this one). A brick built mosasaurus feels really weird, but for a brick build one it still looks neat. And that does make me think if it might be the set with the great PPP, which would just feature the mosasaurus, and there would still be the boat set with 199 pcs $50, but it would include the spino. But it could also be in the way that the mosasaurus would still be in a regular set, which would include the boat and the spino, so then that would make it the $100 562pcs set. We will still most likely get the mutant but it wasn't full revealed yet so it would be shown a bit later just like the biggest dominon set. Also since we have hd pictures of the dinosaurus now, we might see the full sets a soon, so that's something to also get excited about.
  13. mantax
    The trailer does make this movie sound very exciting, I'm only not that much of a fan of there being a mutant dinosaur, but it's got a neat creature design to it, so it's fine I guess. Now for the sets I'd say that - 76975 199 pieces $50 will most likely be based on the boat scene. For the boat I feel like the same bottom piece that was used in 60373 , would be perfect to represent it at the price and piece count. It definitely can't have 2 dinos, so it should just have the Mosasaurus, and the spino could maybe be in a different set, or maybe not, as the previous movie waves were missing some important dinos(Baryonyx, Allosaurus), but they then were finally in some other sets from the theme later. 76973 582 pieces $100 - I see this being a 2 pack with the Titanosaurus and Quetzacoatlus, as the Quetzes apper to be close to the place with tall grass, so the build would be the temple, on the mountain that won't be too close to the ground, but also not too tall. That might feel like asking a bit too much, but from the movie there definitely has to be all of the 3 dinos the characters are looking for, and since last year we had a $90 set with more pieces then this(and that one already didn't feel like a great price). Now 76976 984 pieces $150 will be some lab build with the Mutant, and most likely the T-rex, since the Visitor Centre is now a retired set, and there has to be a set with T-rex on the market for Lego.
  14. mantax
    That is also my main hope with these sets. I'd say that Sora will most likely get one, since we got that new armor piece leak in dark blue, and from some descriptions it was said that Rogue is the exact same as in the Dragonian Village, so it can't be for him.
  15. mantax
    Just when I thought the combat vehicle is going to be very skippable, they had have Frak exclusive to this set. But as much as I'd want him, I still don't see myself getting this, as the build dosn't really sound interesting to me at all(especially at that price). The Lloyd jet on the other hand feels really neat, 5 minifigures for $100 feels small, but that's the only set to get Kur, and with the build said to be an actualy transformer, this is a set that I'd most likely get. What I hate about this descriptions is the fact that the regular Zane and Nya are exclusive to a $200 set, they could have swaped them with one of the Sora, Kai, lloyd or wyldfyre figures, as they have duplicates in sets that are less then $100. Now with that being said, now I'd most likely get the Temple Bounty, since I already plan on getting Lloyd's mech, and Rogue's dragon, and the Kai bike. With all this sets I get all of the minifigures from this wave except Frak(and I really wasn't thinking about getting all the characters, since this just felt like a nice way to get all of the Forbidden 5 for me, so that just shows how their distribution isn't great).
  16. mantax
    There's more set descriptions from the same source as the Kai bike and Fire knight mech: Arin's spinjitzu mech $20 213pcs - It's just like the elemental mechs, the mech has 2 large swords. Minifigures: Arin, Dragonian and small Riyu. Rontu the master dragon $45 381 pcs - Rontu has place for 2 minifigures on the back and stud shooters under the wings. There's also a small temple side build, with a function to reveal a hidden message. Minifigures: Zarkt, Lloyd, Sora and Wyldfyre. Temple bounty $200 - There's a sushi bar below the deck, The bounty is for the ninja, and not the Forbidden 5. Rontu does sound really great with the minifigures, but what I'm not a fan of is the side build, as this means less parts go to make Rontu, and less then 400 parts already felt small for her. Now the Rouge's mech might be a must have for me, as there might be the Arin from Thunderfang here, and with Rox exclusive to this set, this just feels perfect for me. With that I'd just need to get the Lloyd's transforming mech jet to complete the forbidden 5, and that set was the one I was the most interested in from the name. The placement of the Forbidden 5 isn't the best, with Rox and Kur being exclusive to only one set, I was expecting there to be at least one more set to have 2 members, which could then made it easier to collect them. At least I'm pleased with the fact that Nokt is in the most overpriced set of the wave, so that makes it really skippable for me. Now from the sets I'm the most interesed on if Wyldfyre gets a new suit. Since these would have been the 4th wave that version of Wyldfyre comes in. But I at least expect Sora to get one, as that new armor piece has leaked in dark blue, and I really don't think it's for Rogue.
  17. mantax
    The minifigure selection for the Temple bounty feels very weird. It's said to be for the villains, but you only get Zarkt here, and 5 ninja. At least this set feels great if you only want to get all the new ninja suits(that is if these will be the original ninja, except Jay for obvious reasons). Also with Zarkt being here, there is a chance that this will be the only set he comes in these wave. There is still a chance that there would be more minifigures here, but they are just inside the bounty, and they weren't seen by the leaker. Or the minifigure selection might change in the final version of the set. As this is most likely from some preliminary image. Like from the 2024 march wave, from which every single set(except the Shadow Dojo) had a change with the minifigures.
  18. mantax
    You didn't mention here the best part about this set. There's also a small bike for the Dragonian Scout included. Overall I believe that this just feels like the Zane's ice motorcycle with all of it's flaws fixed, but from the descriptions this one might not have a play feature. Which is a shame since that part is what made me adore the Zane bike. I always Love a villain vehicle, and at that price this might be a must have for me. Also the person who leaked this also knows descriptions for the other sets, so now that only depends if he wants to show them. Those are the main sites that I know about to find leaks: r/legoleak on Reddit, Instagram, with the main accounts being Lego_minecraft_goat, Fateful_04, ridexninjagoleaks2. Maybe in Bluesky, as that is where the ninjago writers post stuff, and answer questions about the show. Plus you can find some ninjago fan accounts posting some leaks there. That's all of the places that I know about, and often use.
  19. mantax
    A new series does sound really exciting, especially if there is a chance it would be more mature, because of the age ranges of the sets. In my mind I imagine this maybe being like the Golden Legend legacy short, which was a lot more serious. There are also more details said by Tommy, which were not posted by Lite. So 71847 - On the stand there's also a lantern and a gate, while the Fire Knight Mech has a cape and spear. The builds for both of these sets sound absolutely gorgeous from these information, they definitely would make great displays. But on the other hand the minifigure selection in these is quite lacking, especially with the Fire Knight Mech, which has only 996 parts for $120, and also since this will be a Diorama a lot of the parts would be small. At least the minifigures should be exclusive to these sets, as they won't be based on s3. But still you get these sets for the eye catching build, so minifigures aren't that much important here. I could also see the Temple Bounty being a part of these new line, as it is also a 14+ set with a great PPP. But then there would only be 6 sets for s3 in the summer, and with that there will be less set options to get the Forbidden 5. However there won't be a chance that one of them could be exclusive to set over $100.
  20. mantax
    I'm a bit less interested in the Guardian dragon set. As I was more interested in the temple part, and now it is said to a small side build that isn't even mentioned in the set name anymore. We did get 2 solid large Lloyd dragons before, this one will most likely be a lot bigger then them, but I don't care too much about that, as from the name I expected this to be more of a unique dragon(like Egalt or the Arc dragon). With all that being said, from the descriptions I imagine this display to look really nice, as well as my only Lloyd dragon is the Ninjago movie one, so I'm still kinda looking forward to this. I see this set having an exclusive Lloyd minifigure, in the same way as Cole in the Titan Dragon mech. The other minifigure I expect to be a villain, and for that it would most likely be a member of the Forbidden 5.
  21. mantax
    The next magazine includes Evil Jay. For me personally that was my most wanted summer minifigure to be included here. It's a shame he doesn't have the armor piece, but I don't really care too much about that, as he isn't a part of any suit line. Now after that we should get s3 Arin with a grappling hook, Kai with a double sided sword and Zane with a crossbow, there might also be other minifigures inbetween them.
  22. mantax
    That doesn't mean absolutely anything, as the magazine has had plenty of lego like dinosaurs featured in it before that we didn't get in lego form yet, which I also believe are just from that Lego Jurassic World show. Speaking of the magazine, I really love what comes with the next issue. In the Dreamzzz magazine there was a character with just 2 regular stud shooters on the back, but here in the one from a more realistic world they just have an ACU guard with a 6 stud shooter, and a poor baby raptor which most likely is there as something to shoot at. It really doesn't have anything special included in it, but it just feels quite fun, by how absurd it is.
  23. mantax
    Only 10 minifigures does feel quite small, but I don't mind that too much, as personally I'm more into the regular sets, and that would make me fine with skipping this set. Also I'm not a fan of important characters that a lot fans want to have, to be exclusive to a $200+ set. Previously you could have gotten them from Pick a brick, and that was just marvelous. But recently it has been very unreliable, so I don't even know if any of the parts would be available there. I know that there isn't really that much options for sets that these type of characters can apper in, but still for such an important character from the whole series like Cyrus Borg to only be in a $370 set just isn't great. Frohicky I believe everyone expected to be in the Crossroads, but it's still cool to have that confirmed. Zane feels like a great inclusion, but only if he has the complete storm suit, since you can get him like that in just one set. The Dragonian Warrior just feels weird, one of the Forbidden Five would fit a lot more(but a member of them might be one of the unknow minifigures). Now also there definitely should be Arin and Sora in this set, and with that there are 4 more minifigures to apper in this set. My main picks for that are Geo, Frak and Dorama, as well as Cole, since with Geo being in this set, I don't see them not including him. But I don't really know about that, as I feel like there should be some regular civilians in a set like this.
  24. mantax
    I'm not a fan of there being another buildable dinosaur set, or at least it definitely isn't a regular set based on that PPP, as that means that there will be just 4 standard sets for the film. I could say that there would be at least one more set, since exclusive sets are always revealed later. But still that feels a bit small compared to Dominion for example, which had 9 sets. 76972 285 pieces $35 has to be a set with a small dinosaur(most likely a velociraptor), for the build I would expect that car that we have seen from some images, but that feels like a bit too much pieces for just a car, so I could also see there being a small side build. 76975 199 pieces $50 has an awful ppp part, even for Jurassic standards, so I could see this being a Mososaurus set, which would also include a boat That would explain that price and the small age range, as the build would mostly be one big boat piece with stuff added on it. 78976 - Has to be a big base/lab set, which would include 2 big dinos, my guess for that would be the Spino and maybe the T-rex. 76973 583 pieces $100 - this might be the titanosaurus set, for the builds I could see this maybe having a tree and a vehicle. The most important thing for the movie are the 3 biggest dinos from Land, sea and air, so what I wrote here leaves Quetzalcoatlus without a set, so I would expect for the lego store exclusive to be that, or it could be swapped with 76973, but I really don't see a $100 set to be just for the quetz.
  25. mantax
    I'm not sure if you are talking about the new Legacy magazine, or the cards. The information on the next legacy magazine I found on a Polish site called Promoklocki, on the "gazetki" section. About the cards I know from a German youtube video, which has "Neue LEGO Ninjago TCG Serie 10 Multi-Pack mit LE 12 und LE 13" in the title.
