Lego Ninjago 2016

I just saw the poster. Its not hard to find. There is a youtube video, even.

Anyway the villains look super cool.

[LegendsOfNinjago]

Part of me kinda hopes and feels Rise of the Villains will be in two waves. I feel like there could be more the the story is the Overlord and Garmadon. Mind you this upcoming wave is already pretty large, I just don't know what they would do for Winter unless it was a separate storyline for The Overlord and Garmadon.

Kinda disappointing that General Cryptor is not white.

Kinda disappointing that General Cryptor is not white.

Reminder that the white Nindroids are security drones, and thus not intended to be villains. Hence why Cryptor (despite in the story being frozen and blown to smithereens) is still a black Nindroid.

The new character encyclopedia is up for preorder!

The figure is Jay in what looks like minifig cube Kai's outfit. He also comes with a comic book which is cool I guess.

Neat! Thanks for the news! Glad we are finally getting Stone Armor Jay from the Rebooted wave way back in 2014. Now we just need Stone Armor Cole...

As for the comic book, it would be really cool if it was Fritz Donnegan-themed, given the whole plot line with Jay's parents.

Edit: found thanks to BZP

This is all i'm getting:

LEGO posted pics of the exclusive fig here and here! Pretty nice! Interesting that the leg printing is different from Kai's (in the show, none of the ninja had leg printing with this costume, but LEGO added it to these two figs, I guess to make them feel more special). The comic book is a cool accessory for him. Wonder when we might get Cole in this costume.

I'll be honest, I was kind of hoping for Skylor's new costume or Nya's Season 3 costume, but getting Jay in this armor is cool too!

Thanks Aanchir! Definitely worth getting. He has his new face from the summer sets.

[Umbra-Manis]

Awesome! Now we only need cole to finally complete the team for this armor variant.

What's the 2x2 printed tile that comes with the new Jay?

[Amazing Bricks]

It says "starfarer." Watching the series, I've never heard of it.

[Junior Shark]

What's the 2x2 printed tile that comes with the new Jay?

It looks like a comic book cover to me. Since I don't watch the show, I can't comment on its significance (if any).

[LegendsOfNinjago]

When does this book come out?

Edit: also the tile is a Starfarrar comic book.

"Starfarer" was the comic that Fritz Donagan was featured in. (SPOILER)

In S6, it is revealed that Fritz is Jay's true father.

[SmashCat9000]

Where is it available for preorder?

[gamejutzu]

It's nice that they reference the TV show more often these days (the Starfarer comic).

It's also nice to see that LEGO, finally placed the katanas in a way so that they can be pulled out facing forward...

Depends on the hand that's pulling it out. Can't wait to get this figure either way.

[raarghh]

Just placed an order on 70732 City of Stiix and 70605 Misfortunes Keep among others, gonna be fun weekend :)

Do you guys agree with people who say Ninjago is on the more childish side of the LEGO themes? I just want to know because Ive heard it multiple times from different people. Also, every set on amazon has reviews only from parents and away too many grandparents, you never see anyone buying it for themselves. I just want to hear what you guys think.

Uh, yes it is but that isn't a problem really?

It's for both kids and AFOL's :) I've seen adults buying some sets on their own and of course, kids with parents. The ninjago sets, for the most part, are really good. The expensive sets are bought by many parents, but adults can afford them. I say it's main target, is for kids, but that shouldn't stop AFOL's from buying them. I haven't got any recent sets from ninjago, but I like the theme.

I agree with your way of thinking, but I can't help but associate this mindset with the way bronies justify their interest. For example, "Sure it may be designed for extremely young girls, but adults can enjoy it too.", and not to offend any bronies or whatever, but relating LEGO to mlp makes me a little uncomfortable.

And you didn't burst into laughter why?

I would suggest that 80% of Lego is the childish side of Lego.

I personally do not agree, but it's an annoyingly widespread opinion. Obviously, Ninjago is primarily aimed at kids — but so are the vast majority of LEGO themes. And you rarely hear people saying the same thing about themes like LEGO City, LEGO Castle, LEGO Pirates, LEGO Scooby-Doo, and LEGO Super Heroes, all of which are typically aimed at even younger kids than Ninjago.

Needless to say, any AFOL who holds sets like Ant-Man Final Battle, Tow Truck, Brainiac Attack, The Mystery Machine, and Fun in the Park - City People Pack (all aimed at ages 6–12 or 5–12) in high esteem, but who considers Anacondrai Crusher or Raid Zeppelin (aimed at ages 7–14) too childish, is in serious need of a reality check. They might not like Ninjago, and that's fine, but they can't prefer sets and themes aimed at even younger kids and rightly claim it's because Ninjago sets are too childish!

I agree with your way of thinking, but I can't help but associate this mindset with the way bronies justify their interest. For example, "Sure it may be designed for extremely young girls, but adults can enjoy it too.", and not to offend any bronies or whatever, but relating LEGO to mlp makes me a little uncomfortable.

It shouldn't. If you're an AFOL or TFOL and you're not exclusively buying sets aimed at ages 10+, 12+, or 14+, you need to come to terms that the thing you're enjoying is primarily meant for kids rather than for you. If you wouldn't accept the "adults can enjoy it too!" justification from a brony, how can you expect people to accept that from an AFOL or TFOL like you?
