yep, Just did the same thing too haha

Apparently there is going to be some 2023 news released by Promobricks this Friday or something. I don't know where they will take the series, but they definitely need to bring back the Oni IMO, perhaps as more of an ongoing "arc" villain. I just want more sinister Oni minifigures haha, and the battle pack is both expensive and elusive to get.

It's weird, in Australia it seems that only two sets are available (I just got the Golden Dragon from the online LEGO shop store, and the Zane jet is also available), and the rest of the wave are coming in August I think. I just want a Legacy Morro Dragon

Anyone know when the sets are released in Australia? People are saying everywhere except America gets it in June but I may have read they come out in July instead.

The re-use of the same torso print for the returning villains is very disappointing IMO. Could have had some really cool and unique prints.

Pretty good minifigure-wise, though I think black would have been better than gunmetal-grey for the villains.

Where is the Cole set?

I dunno, pretty blurry looking to me.

*BANG BANG BANG* CAM ON LEGO GIVE US SUM CLEAR IMAGES *BANG BANG BANG*

My question is, what colour scheme are they going to go for with "Vengestone Pythor"? Will he still have white skin or will they give him a black/purple/pink colour scheme?

Vengestone! I new it! Pretty much everything I speculated would happen is confirmed by these new Promobricks leaks. Figures sound awesome as well.

I believe that is just a small turret build. Promobricks mentioned it a well.

These are obviously VERY preliminary and the previous weeks Zane Jet is the more modern or final product (albeit blurry). Nice colouration used for the enemies, black, purple and pink. I suspect these are the images Promobricks saw as they still have the (presumably) placeholder Epic Battle moulds instead of the new scythe.

Could be, could be. Now i'm expecting the Aspheera minifigure to have the Sword of Fire.

Are those trans-purple arms on the Skull-sorcerer?

Will the rest of the sets leak soon? I'm keen to see the other villains. EDIT: Is that crystal sword the same piece as his scythe? Looks like the Scythe of Quakes. EDIT 2: Also notice the four-headed golden dragon teased next to the Lloyd image. Looks like the dragon will be having unique-coloured upper-jaw/head pieces instead of just gold, which is a nice contrast.

Is that the Ice Samurai armour recoloured on the Skull Sorcerer?

Could that be the Dark Island where all the crystals are protruding?

These seem specifically to be golden ninja, and the golden dragon that's directly attributed with golden power

Tommy Andreasen commented on the next season: "the seas are restless" So Nya is restless over something...I think we're heading back to the dark island. You know, that giant landmass opposite Ninjago... * Crystal King is probably new form of Overlord, said to resemble him somewhat * pink, purple black and gold colour scheme of le evil on all the enemies *Crystal warriors are the new Stone Warriors *Golden power returning, only ever used to fight the Overlord I honestly can't see it being anything OTHER than this scenario, it just fits so perfectly. Which brings into mind: is this supposed to be a cross between DotD and Final Battle waves? Because the Overlord is definitely one of the "final boss" villains of Ninjago other than maybe the Oni.

When can we expect preliminary pictures?

My theory for this next wave/season is that the whole Crystal King/ Crystallized enemies is a return of the Overlord in a new form. The evidence is heavily in favour: 1) Crystal King build is described as having armour similar to the Overlord's, is also described as purple, black and gold in colouration which are his colours more or less 2) Golden power, golden ninjas are back, and the only time this happens from what I remember is when they fight the Overlord 3) The crystals themselves are pink in colouration, a "corruption" colour associated with the colour schemes of the Overlord and his elemental powers. Black, purple and pink are used on the returning enemies, making me think that these "dark corruption crystals" are empowering the villains in service of the Overlord (I don't think they will be crystal "imitations" as most of these returning villains are alive) 4) Vengestone buyer is Pythor, vengestone is maybe used for some darker purpose or for creating/formulating something sinister, probably to do with these crystals.

Just a thought, do LEGO ever print on duel-molded pieces? Skull Sorcerer's hat-mask has no printing on the face even though in the show there was more detail like a mouth and such.

Purple Pythor still looks infinitely better than white Pythor. I hope they somehow make it so he regains his old skin colour in-lore or something, like him shedding his skin or something.

What's the problem? Many villains are returning it seems, and we can never have enough snakes, they're great figures unironically.
