I feel like it’s still like a year out for some reason 10 days? Really? Wow. I guess we’re all still used too how slow 2020 was... still no news on a press release either, i think they’re gonna pull a Diagon alley on us again..... Quote

How would MotO turn out if it used Legacy's resources? Or of course, on the other hand, it could be the Ninjago team couldn't figure out where to take the whole thing and have Legacy as a placeholder to cover that. However, that doesn't really make sense either, as why go through the trouble of building up S.O.G. and Hunted just to fall flat? March of the Oni wasn't always meant to exist. Originally, Hunted was the end of the arc. Quote

Honestly feels like quite a journey. Quote

Ah I see, so that explains it. So it was more of an added bonus rather than originally being part of the plan for the arc. Which means Legacy was most likely something already planned from the start. I still find it to have much wasted potential as there are still coincendental loose ends set up by S.O.G. and Hunted that have not been tied up or followed. But considering it's production origins, it's now more understandable. Anyway, thanks for that piece of the puzzle! Edited January 3, 2021 by JJ Tong (zfogshooterz) Quote

NinjaGo City had insanely good price too and a bunch of awesome new torsos. Sadly when it retired I only had $175 on my credit card. Almost got it for super cheap but it wasn't meant to be. Quote
Dr.Cogg Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 I think the 16x32 section with the pagoda is detachable from the rest of the gardens. Quote
Nearlyheadlessbrick Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 What do you guys hope that the last two Legacy sets for the year are going to be? I hope that we get a Legacy Ronin's R.E.X. I also wonder whether Nya's Legacy 3 figure is going to be black and maroon or maroon and blue... I also hope that legacy 4 has a new version of the Ultra Stealth Raider and the Samurai X Cave. Quote
Gangikhan448 Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Could be 2 Possession sets. Maybe the Morro Dragon and the Jay Walker One. Even a Legacy Ghost mech to accompany the Legacy Titanium Mech. I hope it's a Legacy Ghost Mech! Quote
Surge Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 I remember hearing a while ago that a remake of Wu's Dragon from Possession was happening. Not sure how true that is tho Quote

AlBrickStudios Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Hey, someone on twitter said “Can you bring back the Time Twins” and Tommy Andreasen replied “Yes I can.” That’s insane! I really do hope this is a confirmation that the time twins will return in a future season Quote

I’d really love to see that resolved! 13 minutes ago, Guyon2002 said: Uhmmm..... there's a Legacy set with the exact same name as it's predecessor. Huh. Most of the Legacy sets have maintained simple and descriptive names, so I guess things like “Attack of the Morro Dragon” are out in that case. Hate to say it but the Jay Walker One’s probably one of the most likely, which sucks because it’s yet another dull old Ninja car, and considering what they did to the X-1 . . meh. I’m vaguely hoping for a rerelease of the Ninja DBX? That one was cool, for a Ninja vehicle anyway, and I didn’t get it way back when and kinda regret that. Legacy versions of Sensei Garmadon and white Pythor would be cool too! Edited January 3, 2021 by Fenghuang0296 Quote

But they were awesome villains, I want them back. Quote
GarmaFan Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 It's encouraging that he answered that at all, but by itself "can" doesn't mean much. He can do a lot of things. If he wants to. Quote
The Stud Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 I’m guessing the same name/much different price clue related to Legacy will be a vehicle as well. I’d like for it to be a scaled up Ronin’s REX (they could even use the same Ronin figure as the Gardens), but it could easily be another version of the Blaster Bike or the Jay Walker One. Both of which would be... disappointing. Quote
Pirean_Grammaticul Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 more than likely a ronin's REX given ronin in the gardens (and i'd guess golden nya to match?) but if i'd want anything it would probably be a remade fire temple. either way we're probably at least getting the rex and one of the borg vehicles from possession; no way would they release a new wu's dragon this early and more than likely no dbx (though it would be interesting) Quote
Gangikhan448 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 A new REX would be so amazing! As much as a new DBX! Quote

I was just remarking in the show discussion topic (a bit off topic, I know) that I wouldn't mind a Legacy version of the Ninjacopter, which has always felt like a cool vehicle design but could do with a design upgrade. Plus it'd be able to give us a "Legacy 2" Zane and a new classic Pixal, which I'd love. Might be less likely for one of the summer sets though, because so far our only real info to go on is that if the other gold ninja are any indication, Golden Zane will likely appear in a set that otherwise doesn't have Zane, which means that unless the Ninjacopter were paired with Golden Nya, it probably wouldn't be one of the ones we're getting. It might be more likely that the two summer Legacy sets would opt for more of the "deepstone" ninja, though there's a chance that like earlier Legacy outfits those versions might be meant to stand in for both the Possession and Skybound seasons. That said, both of those seasons were fairly light on the ninja vehicles the Legacy theme tends to favor, making it possibly more likely to either draw from a different season (perhaps backtracking to something like the Ninjacopter or Ultra Sonic Raider) or to give us a villain-focused Legacy set for a change (like the Morro Dragon or Misfortune's Keep). Heck, they could throw us a curveball and give us something that hasn't been a set before like they did with the Overlord Dragon. I wouldn't mind! Quote

Bloquerto Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Can someone please recall me when is the summer wave? I can't wait to know more about season 15. If it really is an underwater season I'm really excited for the minifigures. Diver suits for the ninjas and sea villains would be interesting and securely would resemble to Bionicle Barraki/Toa Mahri. Quote
Gangikhan448 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 I wonder if they are wearing diver-like suits. The mask will be like a new hood design with scuba gear on it! Quote
