I think that may have been confirmed by doc, not 100% sure though. According to lite mods Kreel and Dorama will also be in the crossroads. -
Click baity thumbnails and titles would be atrocious and Doc would probably be swamped with questions.
-
Still no confirmation if this is a ninjago city or playset-type set. Considering the figure count im leaning more towards playset. The saga continues! I cannot wait till the reveal im so incredibly excited.

71837 Crossroads (14+) 3244 pieces $249.99 March 1, 2025 The set comes with 10 minifigures including Zane, Pixal, a Dragonian Warrior, and Alfonzo Frohicky.

Frohicky and Bonzle. Those and Geo are my top picks. Creel, Grabbarg and Lobbo would also be welcomed given the crossroads setting. I’m in 2 minds about it being a modular, on one hand I’m always excited for a new official addition to the ninjago city scape, but I feel like the cross roads doesn’t really fit the city vibe. It doesn’t have canals, or 2 levels. I can see it working but I feel like they can pull of a huge crossroads set if it was on its own. One consideration I’ve had was what if it was a special module that bridged the gap between Ninjago city and icons modulars? So it has a road/sidewalk on one side and a canal on the other side of it. Could be an interesting way to spice it up.

So ninjagos 14th anniversary tomorrow. Not seen anyone really talk about it so I figured I’d get the ball rolling. Ideally I’d love to see the crossroads get revealed or teased, or at the very least get some meaningful info from the leakers. We know nothing about this set and it’s releasing in 2 and a half months. Reveal is slated for late February allegedly, so it will likely be a last minute reveal sadly. Maybe a trailer for the show instead? Still a bit too far of the shows release which is also March. So i don’t know what we could be getting tomorrow.
-
That’s what I thought at first, and I do think the crossroads will work better as a stand alone set, but Lego could do a 1 off Ninjago retrospective set like the Disney 100 years set. That could be cool to see. Or, a huge location that we have been looking to get forever. Maybe borg tower or a huge revamped DR monastery?

Did you pick up the magazine yourself or is this info online somewhere? I’d love to see it myself.

[MOC] Ninjago city plaza!

Just checking this out now! I love the detail on the elevator building, the green climbing plant is very well done! I also like the rock work and foliage on the bottom level, and really just how open it feels. Some buildings feel a little sparse but interiors are usually less important than the exteriors, which I think are pretty damn good! Special mention to the storytelling of the flower shop cat and the teacup, and the mural on the elevator building. I like the tree in the centre as well on the second level, im assuming though that its not the same tree as the lower level right? Do you have any pictures of it connected to other modules? -

Some more of my top pics, I love the space station that integrates the smaller science lab, and the interstellar explorer is a crazy good build! -

I would love to see more city space Mocs, there are a decent number on the lego space subreddit. Here are the 2 most impressive big SHIPs IMO - And this one I love because its made of all the sets, so could be feasible maybe not a full reconstruction, but a close one?) -
Game tower has been cancelled according to Fateful. The only set I was really really hyped about this wave.

I fear it's too late already with Riyus wingspan being HUGE, but something I wanted to see from ninjago is a full blown mech for Riyu. I know the ultra combo mech was originally designed to be his mech, then it was given to Zane, but im talking about a huge robotic dragon that Riyu can sit inside, and pilot, like how minifigs pilot human style mechs. Maybe we will get that with a new smaller dragon, who knows? Looking at the new sets, I neglected to give my opinion on the Arc dragon. For those who are interested or care, personally I like the more outlandish design and colour schemes, but the technic is throwing me off a bit. I LOVE that we are seeing purple in some bigger builds now, im in desperate need of more purple sets and im kinda sick of buying knight busses to satiate my appetite for those parts. This is one I desperately need to see in-hand, and I do like how if you buy the storm village and the 2 march dragons, you get the whole wave of figures. Im certainly considering that as an option, but I love the combo mech and want to pick that up too. I may take my chance with the January sets and see if I can nab the remaining figures in magazines. Still no info on the crossroads sadly. Do we all think it's gonna be a ninjago city module or a play set like TTC?

True, though thats good to hear regardless. My biggest problem with Egalt from reviews is that the body was 2-4 bricks wide, which for a set of that price just didnt feel worth it, especially compared to dragons from hunted, which are the only ones in that size category ive still got around (SD of motions a tad bit too big I think). Thunderfang less so, despite the body being relatively thin I think it does feel bigger due to the stance of it and the wings, they create a (very) rough dome shape when folded down, feeling a bit like lego sets from the 2010s using big pieces and being relatively hollow/empty (looking at you, power miners titanium command rig). Still, Im very excited to get Rontu in the summer and I haven't actually got a S2P1 Ras or cinder yet, so It was a good way to grab them too. The price increases are becoming really apparent, I think the biggest issue with the Jan wave though is figure numbers, specifically the mid ranged sets. if you compare the number of figs we used to get in sets of that size (inflation kinda skewing the metrics, but it still shows), we've seen a significant drop. 3 figs in both $50 sets this wave, we had 4 in storm bringer with was $40 in 2018, 4 in Coles Rock raider from 2017, 4 in the fire fang from 2019. Its just kind of disappointing, especially when one of the figures is a reuse from almost every other set in the wave and in the Ras jet he comes in both the spinner (with Arin) and in the SD of motion and TTC last wave. Ive wondered if the ninjago team consider the little dragon buddys to be "figures" sort of like how dreamzzz considers the dreamlings figures but they're not highlighted on the box. I love the jet build but that figure selection is seriously off-putting, and with the reveal of the Arin suit in the Thunderfang, im guessing thats gonna be his actual suit this coming season. Dragons are a difficult thing to price-gauge though, it's been stated many times by designers that joint pieces are more expensive to produce, so they need to allocate more budget to those pieces.

It's just occurred to me that both Egalt and Thunderfang cost $70. Im not gonna lie, I think Egalt is one of the most overpriced sets from last year, and I think Thunderfang is definitely more worth the money you pay. Does anyone who owns Egalt also think hes small/overpriced or is he actually decently sized? Im only asking because I managed to get him for £30 new from Ebay, but im keeping him until Rontu gets released so I can build them together. Im curious what the comparisons between Egalt and Thunderfang will be though, because I do plan on getting Thunderfang for full retail when he does release.
