Fate(ful) has smiled on us today, and we now have a list of names, prices, and part-counts for Ninjago’s January 2025 wave! 71823: Kai’s Dragon Spinjitzu / 54 pieces / $10 71824: Sora’s Dragon Spinjitzu / 56 pieces / $10 71826: Dragon Spinjitzu Double Pack / 186 pieces / $20 71827: Zane’s Battle Mech / 92 pieces / $20 71828: Lloyd’s Race Car / 181 pieces / $30 71829: Lloyd’s Forest Dragon / 128 pieces / $20 71830: Kai’s Storm Rider Mech / 333 pieces / $40 71831: Ninja Spinjitzu Temple (4+) / 158 pieces / $40 71833: Ras’ Storm Jet / 510 pieces / $50 71834: Zane’s Ultra Combo Mech / 1187 pieces / $100 71841: Dragonian Storm Village / 305 pieces / $40 It looks like “Dragon Spinjitzu” will be the new gimmick, and possibly a new technique that the Ninja learn in Season 3; Lord Ras survives and continues to be an antagonist (not a surprise, but still a bit of a spoiler), and the villains are storm-themed. Considering that Nokt has blue markings (possibly storm elemental?) and physically resembles the Island Keepers, maybe their species is called “Dragonians” and they (or at least some of them) will return as the villain army in DR S3. 🤔

This spinning LEGO blacklight show is really meant to be seen in person. Video hardly does it justice, and phone camera stills aren't much better. But what you do see here is entertaining enough that I'm sharing it anyway. In person, the tree colors change with spin rate, which here reaches 550 RPM in 7 steps. Around 300 RPM, the orange and green start mixing to yellow. By 550 RPM, you see a completely yellow tree encircled by blue and white rings -- the white coming from mixing the yellow with the blue. (Additive color-mixing rules apply.) The small 3-bladed propellers are worthless for boat propulsion, but they really shine for their size under blacklight. Minifig heads emit the blue. The tree holds its shape and balance reasonably well at top speed. The tolerable wobble peaks at intermediate speeds. I'd love to report that the inverted tree works as a spinning top. But centrifugal force would surely rip it apart long before it reached operating speed. Besides, air resistance would quickly bring it down.
