You forgot to mention Cole's mech which is described to be different from what we have seen in the trailer. I heard it can transform. So chances are, it is the same mech!!! But is was shown in it's other form. See that other two wheels on it's arms? I think Lego might be onto something there.

I only noted what BZP mentioned that they saw in their post.  I didn't mention Cole's mech, because BZP's report did not mention that it was there.    Where did you hear that Cole's mech could transform?  To me, it doesn't look like it can and the "wheels" on the arms look more like small shields or forearm guards/weapons.

I understood it as 11 plus 3 exclusives...equaling the aforementioned 14 total.

Zusammengebaut gave us confirmation of 11 Ninjago movie sets.

As far as i can tell we have nothing official mentioning 14 sets.

TPLSTER21 was only mentioning how they theorised NYTF revealed 8 out of 11 sets and the other 3 (out of those 11) would then be retailer exclusives explaining why they were not revealed at NYTF.

Sorry.  I should have been clearer.  In my post I mentioned that 8 sets were shown according to BZP's notes.  That being 8 out of the 11 sets that showed up on the Zusammengebaut list.  It has been speculated that on top of those 11 sets, there will be retailer exclusives (1-3 I believe) based on the fact the TLBM had 3 of them and that there are some missing set numbers in the sequence on the list.  So, a potential of 14 sets in total.  3 retailer exclusives and 11 regular sets - 8 of which were seen by BZP at NYTF.

I do hope that we get some information soon.  I'm still shocked that Lego didn't use NYTF as an opportunity to reveal at least 1-2 sets as the timeline would have been roughly in line with when the first TLBM sets were shown (relative to the sets retail release and the movie release date). 

Not sure, but if BZP was able to describe the sets that they saw and got no trouble from Lego, then would it not be okay for other people who have seen the sets or have info on them to "flesh out" those descriptions that BZP has already posted?  If BZP were allowed to post those descriptions (if they weren't, then Lego would have had them take them down by now), then surely no harm could come from some additional elaboration?  And since the BZP descriptions were allowed to be posted here and discussed, then would Eurobricks mind if those in the know provided some additional details?  Would a mod be able to comment on this?  If they gave the green light, then perhaps we could get some more details on the sets that we know about.  I understand that those who have the info would probably not want to reveal things like names, prices, etc. at this point as that could get them into trouble, but perhaps something like "The DB model is huge - about 18 inches long with a detachable landing ship.  It comes with one of the Manta flyers" - Note - that's just an example and not an actual description!!  Just a thought to see if we can further the set discussion without causing problems for anyone.

But that's  11 normal retail sets. They never show retail exclusives at any toy fair.if there are 3 retail exclusives, that means 11 normal sets + 3 retail exclusives,which means 14 sets

Batman only had 13 sets. So why would they give us 14??

Possibly because The Lego Batman Movie released with plenty of time for another smaller wave of sets to be released in time to satisfy the inevitable holiday demand, whereas The Lego Ninjago Movie is only getting one summer/fall wave in advance of Christmas.

So far;
The Lego Movie; 16
- Five of the sets were below $20 due to the target audience being kids

The Lego Batman Movie; 13*
- The sets were more spaced out with prices but there was more focus on expensive large sets, hence the lower amount of sets

Speculation on Ninjago;
The Ninjago Movie; 11
- The sets are presumably going to be more expensive given what they are based on, increasing the prices but reducing the number of sets would encourage collectability - which is important considering they are mainly the Ninja's mechs.

I dont believe Zusammengebaut saw them, but instead was told that there would be 11 movie sets by a Lego representative, reasoning spoilered for space;

Spoiler

"In the summer there are 11 new Ninjago sets" - Translated from Zusammengebaut

The live ticker update was at 14:37, during the middle of what appears to be a briefing on future Lego sets. Most noticeably four minutes later the above image was also shown implying the information was gathered in the middle of a discussion about upcoming Lego products. As far as it seems they were told specifically how many sets based on the new movie were going to be released. Given the Nuremberg Toy Fair is more for press, its possible that they announced the total amount of sets include retailer exclusives.

As for NYTF - only 8 sets appeared. Out of the 11 Zusammengebaut mentioned, three of these are unnaccounted for. They could have not been shown because of spoilers for the movie or other reasons, but it seems more likely to me, that similar to what you mention here - the missing sets would be the retail exclusives.

Sorry for misinterpreting.

Personally i cannot imagine the Ninjago movie having 14 sets, thats more than TLBM's 13* and that was a licensed property that was more likely to sell.

Missing numbers do not always mean that they will belong to the same exact theme as we've seen examples of this with the Superheroes line-up this year, where Marvel sets were split around DC sets;
- The Thor Ragnarok sets are 76084 and 76088
- The Justice League sets are 76085, 76086 and 76087

I'm sure there are other examples of similar situations.

Either way, for now i think its best working off the 11 confirmed sets rather than speculating that we'll get an additional three, until we get confirmation on whether those are three additional sets - otherwise we'll end up speculating over an additional three sets to the currently mentioned line-up that may not actually happen.

*Unsure if this is accurate, thought there were more

[Amazing Bricks]

11 sets as of right now, although it's most likely that we'll see more sets eventually. I'm pumped for these sets, hope we'll see them soon

In Germany the Retail Excusives are also in the Brand Catalogue, so the German market treat exclusives differently,that would point towards the 8+3 argument. 

The missing numbers point to 11+3. Because of the movie release being delayed, other sets in this sequence would have been revealed by now.

So how about 8+3 for the summer, plus 3 more for winter =14

Just so we're clear. BZP reported that Nya's mech is Cole's. Being that she wears a gray gi in the movie (with no blue accents), it makes absolute sense that someone who is uninitiated with Ninjago (like most of BZP) would confuse her mech with Cole's. I mean their description matches Nya's and everything. They just got the name wrong.

https://shop.lego.com/en-NL/Accessory-Set-NINJAGO-2017-853687 It's available! I'm really glad the price is not higher for the Netherlands this time around, €12,99 is a reasonable price. 

Also, the Ninjago minifigure plushies are available as well, for €26,99:

They said it on Twitter. Did you read their tweets about it? They answered many questions there about the sets. Plus think about it: what other reason could it be for designing that set with one wheel if it can't shapeshift into another form that actually supports it's ballance? I think you should take a closer look on those "forearm guards" on its arms.

Those plush toys got my attention. Too bad only Nya and Kai... 

[gamejutzu]

I won't be getting those plushes anyways, but I feel that they got a bit lazy on the torso there... They could have plush-ized the outfit as well rather than just putting the printing on it.

I mean, printing the outfit on makes it more authentic to the actual fig than anything with actual dimension to it would be. The bigger issue is the lack of shoulder pads, which the figures usually wear.

[BubbaFit45531]

I'd like to know if the plush Ninjago jumbo figures are machine washable.

Also, since Samurai X mech plays a big role in HoT, I wonder if they'll release a newer Samurai X mech set.

Considering this ninjago toyline is part of lego movie franchise, i think that rather than transforming feature, it will be more like a case of 2 in 1 set, where you have 2 model to choose to build in one set.

[Scarilian]

I'm unsure if they are intended as wheels or decorative pieces on the Cole mech. He seems to have a 'speaker' theme going on, with lots of speakers all over the main body. Hence why he has a button in the cockpit labelled 'Bass'. Kind of reminds me of Soundwave in that respect, both have a speaker asthetic. Point being they dont necessarily need to be wheels and there are other methods to tackle the set than a Transforming feature. I can easily see Lego simply designing the cole set with a base piece you can clip the set into for diplay - it does not even necessarily need to attach to the wheels. If they wanted to put in a bit more effort all they really need to do is have a flip-down piece on the sides of the wheel so it can touch the ground and provide support.

They're hand wash only (I found Batman in the US, so I will assume that they're all the same when it comes to tag information).

Also...

Do not bring HoT spoilers to this thread until the US has finally had their release. Please keep all spoilers in a spoiler tag*, identified as such, otherwise keep them in the show thread.

Please understand that even though the episodes are out in a different language, a large majority of us will be waiting for it in English, and we ask that you respect our decision to do so by keeping this thread spoiler free.

So... 11 sets, right?

1. Shark Mech - Confirmed by Just2good, retailer exclusive
2. Lloyd's Dragon - Confirmed by Bzpower reports
3. Kai's Mech - Confirmed by Bzpower
4. Nya's Mech - Confirmed as a 4-legged mech by BZPower
5. Jay's flyer - Confirmed by Bzpower, mentioned as looking fairly close to the trailer
6. Destiny's Bounty - Confirmed by Bzpower
7. Ninja Dojo/training/base - Confirmed by Bzpower and was confirmed in chat previously we were getting a training area (One of these sets features Wu)
8. An additional small non-vehicle playset - Confirmed by Bzpower (One of these sets features Wu)
9. Manta-ray flyer - Confirmed by Bzpower

That should leave the final two sets most likely being
10. Zane's tank 
11. Cole's mech

Presumably Zane's tank and Cole's mech are retail exclusive's along with the previously mentioned Shark mech (Which was confirmed recently).

BZPower said that there will be Zane's Tank and Cole's Mech....

[LegoShroom]

I've got to say, all of these sets sound pretty big. There has to be some smaller cheaper sets right??

For sure.  There will be a large range of sets starting at $12.99USD like the other movie lines.  Out of the sets that Bzpower saw at NYTF, I would guess that the 2 "non-vehicle playsets" are on the smaller side as this was specifically mentioned in their notes.  In addition I think the Manta-Bomber, if sold in it's own set, would be a smaller set.  I would also guess that the Ninja's vehicles/mechs would be split across various price points.  I believe the Jay and Nya's vehicles might skew to a lower price point and Lloyd's and Zane's to a higher price point leaving the 2 mechs somewhere in the middle.  Although I would imagine that with the mech's, one would be priced lower than the other.  Probably Kai's mech since it looks like Cole's mech is larger in the movie and would require a higher piece count.  When I saw Kai's mech in the trailer, my thought was that they could pull off that set with around 250-300 pieces which would make it around a $30USD set.  But then again, Bzpower described the Kai Mech as "huge" so who knows?

Unless they stated it recently, it was not mentioned in the summary.

They thought Cole's Mech was Nya's Walker
They mentioned not seeing Zane's Tank

Huh write-up article must have been by someone else then

[Tahu]

Guys we got some pretty close images of the Posters and I Believe those are the actual sets on the background!

 

[LegoShroom]

I think those are movie images of the sets but it's nice to get another look.
