    Those are also the only ones that I don't have. But I doubt that we will get more s1 minifigures, like this is the usuall time that they switch the minifigures from one season to the other. Like if the Jay was before the Wolf Worrior it would'v been exactly like the transition from one wave to the other usually looks like in the magazines. But maybe it actually won't be the case, like that Jay is completely breaking the usuall magazine rules.

    Also you forgot to add that the kai's climbing mech instead of the 2 wolf worriors includes Jordana with a glider now. We also have some extra details on the bulids from the site that this comes from. I wasn't sure on if i'd get Egalt or not, but now I don't think I'd get it. Since I mostly wanted it for the minifigures. Now Nya I could get from the dragon strike set, and Lloyd will probably be in a magazine. Like the bulid of Egalt is really nice, but it's like $60 at max. The fact that the Dragon stone temple includes Euphrasia instead of Garmadon is better for me personally,and now I'm considering getting it,Off course if the bulid is appealing for me, which from the descriptions it really seems like it. I'could get the Arin's buggy now. Jordana was the only thing holding me from getting it, since I'd have her from the Kai's fire mech. The price of it feels terrible for now, but I would like to collect as many vehicles for the new ninja, and I do love the ninjago race cars. And Riyu also is more appealing for me now. But in that set I was interested before, so that doesn't really change that much. I was uncertain on if I'd get the Climber mech before, but now I don't think I'd get it.

    It's really interesting to get a set at over $200 that seems to be only linked to a specific season. The only time that something like this happend was with the Temple of Airjitzu, and that one was $50 cheaper and also with over 1000 less pieces. What I'd want from this is the full Tournament ninja suit line up, with also the main antagonists of the season (Ras, Cinder, Jordana and maybe some new Villains that we don't know about yet). So basically an all in one set, which should be the case for a set at that price. I

    I was actually thinking about the exact same thing. Well we had a post made by the designer of the wolf mask piece, and there he said that he designed it for the 1st half of 2024. So that might mean that it's only for the first half, or maybe not I'm not too sure on that. I personally would want it to be an anacondrai cultist type thing, since there is the Blood moon which gives the wolf warriors some weird effects. So later it might change them into actuall wolfs, just like Werewolves. In regards to the ninja, I would want them to keep the climber suits for the summer wave. Since baisicly the only repeats are Kai and Nya, So with that you would have to get all the sets to get them, except for Riyu and the dragon stone temple, which are baisicly said to be the best looking sets of the wave. Also there is no Sora in the sets, so that also isn't geat that there won't be a full suit line up, unless Arin is also reused from season 1. But I don't think they will keep the climber suits, since they are suits for a specific situation. In the summer there seems to be a tournament type thing, to which the bulky climber suits just don't fit into.

    I just realised something. In the march wave there is a 4+ fire source dragon, and now we have a rumour that the summer wave will also include a Source Dragon of Fire. So that could mean that both of the sets feature the same dragon in them. Of course the 4+ one is really simplified, but we can make out some features from it that could be in the bigger one. First of all the dragon has four wings, that is a really nice feature to have in a dragon, and that would also make it seem more special from a regular dragon. It will have a red and dark red color scheme with some trans red on the wings, but that's expected for a fire dragon. It would also have a golden upper jaw with some black horns. But this is just a speculation, but I think that it would make a lot of sense for it to be the case.

    There was said before that there will be a $250 set, it's kind weird that it isn't here. There could be a one more set, since the store exclusive sets always get revealed at a later date, like for example The temple of the dragon energy cores. other then that I don't think that there would be any more sets.

    71816 - I was right with my predictions that the $10 would be a vehicle on wheels. Overall I am quite excited for it, since zane had only one bike before. Also Zane in my opinion usually has the best suits of the whole line up, so it's nice to get it for this cheap. I Imagine it being build in the same style as the recent spider-man bike, I also expect a small side build with it. 71818 - An arena build seems really nice, I would want it to have some obstacles in it similar to the ones in The Monastery. Other then that the set sounds great but thats about it . 71820 - I own the Ultra stealth raider so I don't feel like i'd want to get another combo vehicle, especially with that terrible price. But we only have the name so far so maybe it could have something interesting in it, but for now I have like no interest in it. 71821 - this set sounds really exciting. that is mostly because it's said to be a dragon mech. I would want it to have a lot of dragon like features. Baisicly it would have a tail , wings and I would also hope that it would have a dragon style head. like that would be the COOLEST thing ever, just have I'm imagining it looking like is getting me really excited for it. 71812 - There is no way that there would be a dragon with over 1700 pieces, like it would have problems with standing up, even the Golden ultra dragon feels pretty heavy with only around 900 pcs. I expect this having a substantial side build or even builds So for now I'm the most interested in the Zane bike, The Arena and The Cole mech, mostly the Cole mech.

    He has a molded body piece, to which a standard minifigure head can be attached.

    Here are my predictions for the sets. I don't really see most of them being accurate, since we have only a small amount of information. But it's always fun to predict. I do know that it was said that the wave would include a cole mech, giant dragon and a new ultra sonic raider. But I don't really see that being true since that felt a bit too early for that to be revaled. But if they somehow were I could see them being like this: Cole mech - 71818, The ultra sonic raider - 71821, Giant dragon -71822 71816 - I could see this being a small car or just a vehicle on wheels. 71818 has an amazing price per part, it's 50 with 659 pieces, the piece count is really simillar to the 71812 - Kai's climbing mech, so that might be a mech aswell. I can see 71820 being a dragon since the price might be justified a bit because of the moulded parts that dragons usually have, like Egalt has only 532 pieces but he still feels quite sizeable even with a side build. But it might be just a Hoopty / X-Jet sittuation. 71821 - this could be a temple, since I don't see a ninjago wave without temples and the price and piece count feel just right for that. 71822- with a big price and piece count like that I could see this being someting in the style of set 71796. maybe a dragon + terrain build + something for the villains 71814 I can see being The Crossroads, I don't see anything alse from current ninjago being that price. But to have a new ninjago D2C this early feels really weird. I mean the Hoopty, X-jet and also Arin's buggy have 4+ set price per parts as well, and they are just regular sets.

    It's 70 usd, which I think is a really great price for it, since the previous big ninjago mechs were 80. I didn't expect for it to look like that, I have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised by it. I was thinking about skipping this set because I own Arishem from Marvel, and I'm planning on getting 71808. But this is like something that we never had from ninjago before. I like the pistons on the legs, they really make it more mechanical. The whole build feels really mechaical overall. This has to by my favorite Ninjago set from 2024 so far, and I will be definitely picking it up.

    After spending some more time looking at the set details and seeing the videos on lego.com, I have to say that the sets had grown on me a lot. I really wasn't sure on if I'd get the Mr Oz car, but now I most definitely want it. The main model is just kinda fine to me, but the alternate build is totally up my alley and I love it. This set might even be my most wanted set of the year so far. I'm even thinking about getting Izzie's hot air ballon. because it's something new and refreshing. The opening mouth function is also neat. I also have to say that Zian actually doesn't even look bad. But it still doesn't feel worth the price for me.

    The details that I found in the Duck bricks video: At 13.12, inbetween the legs of the Sora mech you can see Riyu. At 3.46 you can see Nya in her climber suit. When the Lloyd suit is shown, in the background you can see a foot of the Kai's Climbing Mech.

    Every single set except for 71809, has the Shadow Dojo in the box art. The best look that there is at it, is in the Kai mech and the back of the Rising Dragon sets. It seems to have 3 floors. in the front there is a door with the wolf head, that has a large bell hanging from the mouth(as it was stated in the descriptions). The design of it is similar to the Ninja Dojo Temple. On the top there is a ball inbetween an arch. That design looks like the moon that is also featured in the set box art. So since the villains are wolf themed, that could have some importance, especially when it is on the top of the dojo, on the similar hight as the moon. The Eagalt set has a different setting from the rest of the sets. There is some kind of a temple there. on one side it has some text in ninjargan which translates to "pow", so that might be for pow-er. It has also some letters on the other side, but they are quite blurry, and I can't tell what they say.

    The new dreamzzz sets are a mixed bag for me personally. Mr oz's space car is the set that I'm the most interested in. It's nice to have albert in it, and that nightmare creature is quite neat with the exposed brain on top. But what I don't really like about it is the fact that the yellow car feels really out of place with the space parts. So I don't know if I would actually get it. Sandman's is the biggest surprise for me. it might even by my favourite set of the wave. The minifigure selection is definitelly the best part of it. But the Logan minifigure is weird, it should have been just his civilian outfit. But I most likely won't get it. The reason being the new Ninjago sets. It's great that the mateo car comes with the Barraki eye Z-blob, but I have that and Mateo from the magazine so this set is an easy skip. Izzie's hot-air balloon is just fine for me. For the price I might get it, but I'm not sure about that Zian I just don't like. The legs are just too long , and it's quite overpriced for what you get.

    I didn't expect this wave to be that great. Yeah, it's just mechs and a dragon, but they are neat. Egalt is easily my favorite. he simply looks great, I like the straw hat and the fact that you can fold the wings because most dragons now have a massive wing span that you can't do anything about. I completely didn't expect to like the kai mech, but I really do (The same thing can be said about the Sora mech). It's baisicly an upgraded version of the Kai mech from the Dojo Temple. The wolf mech is just whacky with the really long limbs, and I love it. The cole mech is like super bulky, like I expected it to be a bit more built then the other mechs, but not to this level. The Jay mech I don't really like that much, but with 4 minifigures for only 10 Euro it's a definitive buy for me. The ninja suits look great, I don't really have anything more to say about them. The only thing that I dislike is the fact that Sora is reused form s1, like Arin at least gets a new hood. So the sets that I want are 71809, 71805, 71808 and 71806 but if Cole would be included in a magazine, I don't think I'd get it.

    I wasn't planning on buying any more speed champions sets unless they are based on an Ip, especially after the price increase. But the Mustang is absolutely stunning for me, and I absolutely want it. It has basically everything that I want from a Speed Champions set: 1. It's nearly stud less. 2. It doesn't have too many stickers. 3.The color scheme is neat (it would have been perfect if it had some purple accents on it.) 4. Even the minifigure is appealing for me with that hair piece. 5. it's using a really interesting building technique to achive some simple detailing The other cars while not as great as the mustang, are still great. But I most definitely won't buy them.

    I Think that the temple is 71819 - the Dragon Stone Temple. from the leaks It has been described to look like a ninjago diorama, so it would most definitely be really beautiful. Also same new information that I found. I saw somewhere that someone said that Egalt will be included as a minifigure in 71809. the source was a live from a polish lego youtuber (Skladam klocki) who was the source of the first set descriptions that we got, so I think that it's legit. In the video he also said that the Jay mech will be similar to the Lloyd mech from the polybag, Jordana will be included in the Shadow Dojo and that Kai's Climbing Mech will include a jet pack for one of the villains.

    After Lloyd the next magazine issue will include Zane. So with that the wolf worrior most likely won't be right after him, since there would have been something about s2 on the cover, if the next magazine would have been from s2. Overal that has to be the most boring figure choice for me personally. But at least the weapon build is great.

    The first half of part 1(ep 1-5) I really enjoyed, but after that it just kinda became boring to me. Since the second half of part 1 had a lot of episodes in the real world, or like in ep 9 the dream plot was fine, but the real world one I just complitely didn't like. That is mostly because of the main characters. They feel one dimensional and uninteresting for me, but most of the characters from the dream world ( Albert, and the villains) I do like. I've only seen part 1, so maybe the part 2 would be better. But I just wasn't interested in watching it because of have I felt after part 1. Maybe I'd actally give it a try now. Since I don't dislike the show, I just think that it's just really mediciore.

    The next Dreamzzz magazine issue will include The Nightmare King. I didn't expect that they would include the specialised cape piece, like they didn't include a cape with mateo. Even if they didn't include it this still would have been really great. So now I don't think that I would be buying any of the dreamzzz sets except for like maybe one set to get a taste of the theme. And then I'd have more budget for other themes since I don't even like the Dreamzzz show that much.

    the color seperation between the legs and torso looks awful to me. It might be just because of the low quality, or that those are the wrong legs, which I think could easily be the case since there is no way that Lloyd has printing on the legs and cole doesn't.
  22. mantax
    Where did you find it? I can't find it anywhere.
  23. mantax
    My point was that the main villains are usually in the biggest sets or villain vehicles, and not just some random ninja vehicles (the only exception that I can think of is The Bone King). But the theory of Ras only being a S1a main villain would make the set distribiution not matter at all. The fact that she hasn't done anything irredeemably evil might not even matter. They somehow reddemed Harumi after all what she has done. But that was crystalized , and it's hard to find a single good decision made in that season.
  24. mantax
    I think that Ras would be the main villain of season 2, at least kinda. His Master is definitely the big bad, but I think that we are not going to see them in action this season. Since it is said that Dragons rising is going to facus on serialization. Also I don't see Jordana in the role of the main villain, she just feels the best as just a side villain. Her set distribiution compared to Ras sugests that that's the case (with Ras being in the villain base and a big dragon, and Jordana being in 2 random ninja vehicles under 50. So with that I think that Ras would serve the role of the main villain for just this season at least. But I'm going to agree With you on Ras abandoning Jordana when she is no longer usful for him. Ras seems to be a type of character who would just abandon someone when their not usefull for him anymore (that literally happend with Beatrix), and I bet that the same thing would happen with Joradana. I absolutely hope tgat Jordana won't be redeemed. Her whole personality is her rivary with Sora and being crazy because of it. redeeming her would just make her character boring, unless they would give more to her character in season 2.

    There should have been also added that 71808 has a wolf mech side build. With that also the s1 wave had so many villain builds, while this one has only 2. Thats really dissapointing, but maybe there is actually at least one more villain side build in the sets, like at least a jet pack would have been something. Also it was said that the cole mech had 2 cole minifigures. That was one part of the leaks that I didn't think was going to happen, so it won't surprise me if theres actually just 1 cole figure. With Cinder being said to be a heroine, the first descriptions said that Jordana was also a heroine. So it's not confirmed on what side would they be. Overall the sets that I'm looking the most forward to are Eagalt the master dragon, Jay's battle mech and Arin's Buggy(I never care about the ppp, I only care if what's included looks fine for the price) .
