Posted: Tue May 26, 2020 5:34 pm
Hey all,
The newest batch of Ninjago sets is "Coming Soon" according to LEGO.com. Brickset has been able to review a couple: [url=https://brickset.com/article/51428/review-71 ... o-creature]71719 Zane's Mino Creature[/url] and [url=https://brickset.com/article/51342/review-71 ... r-s-dragon]71721 Skull Sorcerer's Dragon[/url], and they've also posted good pictures of [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/brickset/album ... 4461075023]71718 Wu's Battle Dragon[/url].

There are two other sets in the game:

Set [url=https://brickset.com/sets/71720-1/Fire-Stone-Mech]71720 Fire Stone Mech[/url] is a giant ninja mech and does not seem to be part of the game, though the included figs fit the same theme.
In these sets the Ninjago team is traveling to the Skull Sorcerer's Dungeon to fight foes and right wrongs. A twist is that these sets seem to fit together to make a board game, or maybe it's more table-top gaming. Anyway, looking through the pictures, I see some things that will be really interesting to Castle builders:
Of course you've got the Ninjagos themselves, and various katana and other weapons you would expect, but check out these golden shields with lion crest, found in 71719, 71720, 71721, and 71722. Those would be awesome for outfitting a Narnian army IMO:

There's a silver shield with a dragon crest in 71717, 71720, 71721 and 71722. There are three of them in the smallest set (71717), so I can imagine these will be easier to acquire by buying the set or on Bricklink.

I love the detail on this sword, found in 71718 and 71721. There's a version with a black blade and white handle in 71717, 71720 and 717122.

I love these lavender goblin guys found in 71719. One of them is also found in 71718 and the other is in 71722. I'd love an army of these.

This guy appears to be the Skull Sorcerer himself. He's in 71721 and 71722.

There are these skellies, though I have to admit I'm not a huge fan. They are 2 in 71721 and also 1 in 71722.

There's one of this orc in 71717 and 71722 and two of him in 71720.

In addition to those figs and accessories, the skeletal dragon in 71721 is pretty awesome.

Anyway, that's my look at these new sets. I'll probably buy 71721 and then Bricklink some of those purple goblins and both a white-blade and a black-blade version of that new sword.
