8BrickMario Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 I guess I wouldn't be the person to ask, but I'm not affected at all. Whenever I want a figure, I buy a set if I like it enough. Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 I've only gotten a few figures off bricks and pieces, and since I've always been a minifigure-over-set kind of guy and now that I'm a college student, finding the cheapest way to get all the minifigures is a priority. With Skybound, I might splurge alittle because of my tax return money. Not having B&P to get those pieces kinda stinks, but I'll survive. Quote
gamejutzu Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) My emotion on this is mixed, I'm happy that Lego cares about Ninjago, they make it licensed, and they will focus on it more. But in the meanwhile, it also means that the sets might be more expensive in the future, which is not good at all. This event in a nutshell. I would't be surprised if the movie makes some fans leave NInjago, as the TV series will be affected afterwards. So, it's a plus in that way, I guess. Kind of. Well I mean, of course the TV show would continue. Why would LEGO say no to extra attention like that? It's icing on a well-baked cake. Edited February 5, 2016 by gamejutzu Quote
azog Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Well Lego would not have the TV show and the movie out at the same time..I would say that they will wait a year to bring back the show Quote
Ookami Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Well Lego would not have the TV show and the movie out at the same time..I would say that they will wait a year to bring back the show Or to release sequel Quote

It might be a separate canon. It could be completely canon. Only time will tell. Also seeing as the movie is getting a fall release, I can see Lego starting up the show again the following Summer, so that the movie gets a sufficient amount of time on shelves.

LegendsOfNinjago Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 Chances are it'll probably have two waves as well. Even if the second is much smaller than the Lego Movie's. Quote

CM4Sci Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Darn it, you really had my hopes up! I'm sorry! :( Looks like it though, doesn't it? Quote
Exetrius Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) I'm sorry! :( Looks like it though, doesn't it? Wait.... Is that an official Skylor hairpiece? Edited February 5, 2016 by Exetrius Quote
PickleManDan Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Wait.... Is that Skylors hairpiece? I hope it is. Quote
8BrickMario Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) What does this have to do with Ninjago? EDIT: Oh, it's the hair. Edited February 5, 2016 by 8BrickMario Quote
Dosenbrot Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 It looks dark red... It's reddish brown, the picture just makes it seem red. Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 the cast Four of my favorite females ever. Back to Ninjago. I really hope we get Skylor's varient with the book this summer. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Um, point of order: Licensed means other companies IPs. Ninjago is directly and entirely TLG's IP, they created and developed it. Other companies have the contract to produce cartoons, games and books. Superman is a DC (Warner) IP, LEGO has the license to produce brick based building toys based on this IP. Quote

I think what's confusing people is the idea that Lego is treating it as licensed in the specific case of Bricks & Pieces. In that case, it makes sense—minifig character designs are developed hand-in-hand with outside partners, occasionally show-only characters like Misako are developed for actual sets years after their actual TV debut, and some figure designs are intended to have a degree of exclusivity to certain sets that would be undermined by offering their parts for sale individually. That's enough to merit the same sort of rules as with licensed fig parts. That said, Ninjago as a whole is not a licensed theme, nor will it ever be. The property and all its associated trademarks are owned by Lego themselves. Quote

The TV show is Just2Good to pass up, especially after a movie. Even if it means rebooting it, I highly doubt the series will end. Edited February 6, 2016 by gamejutzu Quote
BricksrDamian2 Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 What happened to the Smaurai X cave? Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 What happened to the Smaurai X cave? Not much is known, just a couple of the minifigures. Sensei Wu, Jay, Lloyd, Pythor, Cryptor, and a couple of other villains. Quote
Exetrius Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Just a small week to go before we find out, probably! Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted February 7, 2016 Author Posted February 7, 2016 I'm soooo looking forward to seeing the Samurai X Cave! And the Temployee Grounds for that much!!! Quote
