I wouldn't expect leaks until the week of London toy fair. We won't get pictures there but some detailed descriptions. Until then, it's going to feel like a long time.

Maybe. I had figured that due to Winter (here in the Northern Hemisphere) I wouldn't have been smart to release an outside toy when kids are indoors. No offense to anyone, but a lot (not all) of LEGO's demographic lives in the Northern Hemisphere.

Are there going to be more airjitzu sets?

I had assumed that they didn't continue with more Airjitzu sets in order not to cannibalize the sales of the Nexo Knights Ultimate Sets.

How well would Spinjitzu fare, if it was brought back?

Also, we know villains are returning for next wave, but what about troops?

I think, maybe, sets will have 1-2 ninja, and a villain + a troop (the troop member would be a fan favorite).

If this is so, the trooper will most likely be redesigned. What troopers would you like to see make it in? I'd like white Mindroid, Soul Archer, Lasha, and Frakjaw.er

It probably would survive, but it would need another marketing push.

We'll know if more troops will be returning (potentially) by London Toy Fair at the end of next week.

I also expect that, if there is going to be a return of generic troops, that abandoned molds and original colors will effect the turnout of minifigs. The former will most likely effect the serpentine, whereas original colors could effect the chances of white Nindroids appearing, as they were only featured in sets as bad guys, thus leaving them in their black and purple color scheme. For all we know, though, Cryptor might be the only Nindroid featured in the entire wave.

I just hope that Lego spoils us with loads of minifigs, like they did with the the Summer 2015 wave.

Well the booklet for the Airjitzu Temple did say the temple would become important to the ninja. Maybe it'll have something to do with the return of the baddies from the past. I also assume he'll be In the temple grounds.

How about Zane finally getting silver haircut?

That'd be nice. It's kind of frustrating that his hair color changed the year after we FINALLY got hair pieces for all the Ninja! If LEGO never releases the flat top in silver I might attempt to paint some of the spare tan hair pieces I ordered for my Zane minifigures back in 2012 or 2013. Obviously a painted hair piece will never perfectly match the silver color of his head piece but I'm not too concerned about that. I'm sure it'll still look alright if I choose a good silver paint. Normally I'm a bit of a purist, but I want to get into customizing at some point.

Speaking of hair, is anyone else kind of frustrated that the ninja half-mask from 2014 doesn't totally work with Nya's hair? It hasn't been an issue in sets so far, but it would have been nice if that were an option for future Ninjago minifigures, especially since the half-mask DOES come in Dark Red thanks to Nadakhan and Ronin.

If the summer sets do feature a "villain team up", that leaves open the question of whether Ronin will be teamed up with the ninja or with the villains. I hope he's teamed up with the ninja and that he assumes the mantle of Samurai X now that Nya's a ninja. I think that would be good character development for him — going from just being a mercenary/bounty hunter to being a legit hero who fights with the ninja, and not just when it's in his best interests.

Oh, on another topic that's not quite set related and not quite TV related: I finally picked up the chapter book The New Ninja recently after realizing that it was an original story rather than just an adaptation of a TV episode. It's a story focused on Nya that takes place in between "Possession" and "Skybound", and it's about Nya learning to adjust to being an equal member of the ninja team. A lot of people understandably don't consider the Ninjago chapter books canon, but I think this one and A Team Divided are still definitely worth reading, as they fill in gaps in the TV series, don't currently contradict it, and tell high-quality stories in their own right.

The New Ninja also includes the winning entries from the LEGO Message Boards' "Write like a Ninja" contest. Those are available online but I think it was really cool of LEGO to actually publish them in print!

Sensei Yang sounds great, as we've had an evil former sensei, but not an evil sensei himself. I was disappointed by his absence in the Temple of Airjitzu, although it is a peacetime set and he didn't really fit.

I'd like to know this as well, if we have any info on this at all.

So, I don't have any official information of the polybag, bit I do have the polybag itself, as I remember, it contain 30 something pieces.

how did you like the poly bag? Is it worth the money?

The polybag doesn't looks good to be honest, mostly because the leg and the wing. But the head is really accurate to the one in the show. So I'd give it a 6/10.

We saw a picture of that along with the pirate poly back in November, didn't we? :wacko:

Yep. The name for the pirate plane is Skybound Plane.
