TheOneBrick Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Ninjago is in the toyfair, right? I'm kinda worried, as they've like posted images of every theme, but not Ninjago. Every theme is there. Friends, Elves, Star Wars and more haven't been shown off yet. Quote

TheOneBrick Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Photography wasn't allowed for Star Wars. Ah okay, makes sense. It is the biggest licensed theme and I assume spoilers will be a factor. Quote
DuckBricks Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Ninjago is in the toyfair, right? I'm kinda worried, as they've like posted images of every theme, but not Ninjago. Yeah same its starting to worry me The toy fair only officially opens tomorrow. Today was just a press conference by Lego for certain groups only, so expect a lot more material tomorrow. Also, it's the middle of the night in Nuremberg, and the people like Promobricks, etc already stayed up late posting images of other themes, so it's understandable that they'll post the rest tomorrow morning. Commenting on every single one of their Facebook posts will not speed up the process, as all these reporters are already asleep. (It's 2 in the morning in Nuremberg as I type this) Therefore, I suggest waiting till tomorrow. Quote
DarthLeapyous Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I hope this "Day of the Departed" theme lives up to what i'm expecting...I dunno, recycling old villains seems a little lazy to me but hopefully we will get some redesigns. Quote
PenPlays Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) I hope this "Day of the Departed" theme lives up to what i'm expecting...I dunno, recycling old villains seems a little lazy to me but hopefully we will get some redesigns. Think of it as a celebration of being a Lego Theme that actually lived to be 5-years-old. What better way to celebrate than a throwback, am I right? Edited January 27, 2016 by Penkid11 Quote
Ninja of Fire Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 So we're going to see Ninjago and Star Wars today? Or is Star Wars off-limits to photos? Quote
DuckBricks Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) So we're going to see Ninjago and Star Wars today? Or is Star Wars off-limits to photos? Promobricks stated that Ninjago pics are coming soon on their Facebook about an hour ago, so pretty soon. Off topic, but SW was off-limits EDIT - Elves was posted 15 minutes ago and Juniors was posted about 3 minutes ago, so any minute now... Edited January 27, 2016 by legozebra Quote

DarthLeapyous Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 still waiting........any hour now........ Quote
Krulis Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 And here it is: http://zusammengebaut.com/toy-fair-2016-seven-new-lego-ninjago-sets-will-be-released-in-summer-4243/ Quote
AyliffeMakit Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Ta daa! EDIT: Gah, ninja'd by a couple of seconds! Ah well, here they are anyways Edited January 27, 2016 by AyliffeMakit Quote
Aethersprite Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Oh, my. This might be the best wave of Ninjago yet! That Stealth Raider is gorgeous! I don't owe any Ninjago sets yet despite following the TV series (Jay's dragon might be my first), but looks like I'll be getting some of these! Quote
Krulis Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Minifigs are simply gorgeous. Echo Zane, sensei Yang and finally captain Soto. New ninja outfits look great and ghostly versions of old mcguffins is interesting concept. Oh and it looks like Stealth Raider includes both Yang and Chen unlike previous info stated. Edited January 27, 2016 by Krulis Quote
pawcanada Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) I'm liking the unified look/colour palette of the "mcguffin weapons". I'm looking forward to seeing how the others look in full detail. Also is it me or do the robes worn by Kai and Zane in the third to last and last image look like the style of robes from the very first wave? Could this mean we'll be getting a crimson and green version of them, allowing us to "de-make" wave 1 and Kendo versions of Nya and Lloyd? Ever since they did DX Lloyd I've been wanting to see pre-ZX costumes for him and likewise when Nya became the Cyan/Crimson ninja. I'm also liking the white/grey and red/crimson masks and I'm keen to see the colour combinations for the other characters, especially if the rumoured purple ninja is in a similar style. Also is there a chance Nya could be the purple ninja? Red + Blue = Purple and anyone who's played Mortal Kombat knows the purple ninja, Rain, utalises some water based abilities. I'd prefer her to have a colour that isn't just a darker version of her brother's. Edited January 27, 2016 by pawcanada Quote
Ninja of Fire Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Finally! :) Wait, where's Cole's Rock Raider, and I can only see half of Lloyd's dragon's wing in the Lighthouse set image. Quote
TheOneVeyronian Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 That Stealth Raider and Salvage Mech both look fantastic! But I've got to ask a question: apparently Lloyd's Green NRG Dragon was there, but I can't find any pictures of it anywhere, which is a bit annoying as that was the one set from this wave that I wanted to see the most (and probably the only one I'm considering buying on day one). Would anybody care to provide me a link to a picture of it? Quote

pawcanada Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I'm guessing that's only the first lot of pictures and we'll hopefully see more soon. I'm curious to see Lloyd's NRG design; I've been displaying Gold Lloyd in the NRG display so I may need to re-make that display and perhaps find a new home for Gold. I wonder if we'll get NRG Nya at a later point as well. Quote
DarthLeapyous Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 What of that rumoured purple ninja? Quote
Mandate Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Well, this is a mixed bag for me. The new Sonic Raider is absolutely gorgeous, and I'm going to make sure I get it even if it costs me my chance at a gaming PC this year. Hopefully it will have the capacity to fit the originl ninja in the cockpit(s) this time, because it looks like it might be able to and I've got no qualms with using Lloyd as cannon fodder on a bike. I do have to question how reliable the side tracks are, seeing as they're bending upwards on the exterior. Chen's Mechocondrai is cool, but simultaneously making me want to throw up. Glad to get his chair, though. Ronin's mech is pretty cool, though I don't like it very much. If I end up getting it, I'm not sure if I'll actually end up building the skeleton mech. That thing looks awful. Zane's Tumbler is... well, it's not bad. I wasn't expecting a white turtle car, and I'd like to see some better pictures before judging it too harshly. The inclusion of a Technoblade is surprising. I like Kryptarium Escape. Not the greatest set ever, but I like that we're getting Zane's hair in silver and Soto. The reuse of City police minifigs is very disappointing, and annoying. The structure itself is pretty bland. Lighthouse Siege is a disappointment, what could have been an excellent take on a classic location is almost destroyed. The only reason I'm not writing it off completely is because I haven't seen it folded up yet. Even without the comparison to the show version of the Lighthouse, I still don't like it. Hopefully the sets we haven't seen yet will be better, and will have some new molds. Seriously, we've only gotten two this entire year on top of them not only reusing prints on major and minor characters, but old prints from up to five years ago are returning. Seriously LEGO, you blow the budget on pieces BIONICLE doesn't need but you can't even spare a few new prints for NINJAGO and will bring back the original NINJAGO ninja gi torso just to avoid spending a fraction of a decent budget here?

CM4Sci Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I knew at some point they were gonna do dark red/red, dark blue/blue. Also looks like the 2011 outfits! I hope we see the rest soon. Quote
DarthLeapyous Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I thought there was supposed to be a Stone Warrior with Kryptarium Escape. Quote
benderisgreat Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Kryptarium escape set looks great! Finally we get Capt Soto and Zane with new hairpiece! The build is pretty good for what u assume to be 200 pieces set. But where's Kai who is supposed to be in this set? Lighthouse set looks great as well, but why is Echo Zane gold? He is supposed to be copper colored. Quote
