Looks so odd, like you put designed piece inside jello, but i wonder which sets will have these. I recall promobricks mentioning on insta that cores are this wave's kind-of collectibles (temple is the classic big set with all wave's collectibles so it makes sense. I guess there's 3 or 4 core types then?)

The upcoming release of the Ninjago City Markets is tempting me to pick up the Gardens before that retires and shoots up in price, but it costs a week’s worth of my wages. Tough decision, though I’ll probably wait at least until the Markets are revealed.

It’s definitely worth the money, although I also think holding off on it until the markets is revealed is the right move. Do you have the other sets as well? If so, I’d def go for it. As for the dragon cores, I’m pretty sure they will be in the temple set, I’m not sure if they would be the collectible for the entire wave though. It’s just weird to have these orbs as the thing although we know the Imperium are hunting dragons for their energy so this really is season 9 “save the dragons” all over again. Even got a green Firstbourne….

I also have a theory about the time discrepancy’s when trying to order the trailer scenes chronologically using the timeline of soras mech. Basically some of the time lines don’t work out (like the mech is in race mode when fighting the craglins, but in flight mode when fighting Ras in an actual race). What if Sora can just convert the mech at will? It’s not a one time thing? This would explain some things. Also when do we think we will get a main trailer? I’m thinking middle of may?

Another realisation, First Realm is probably too an part of merge?
So like, more dragons from there, and main baddies seems use chain-like harpoons that are very remniscent of first realm's hunters ones

This would explain all the dragons. 

Anew teaser has leaked, nothing too interesting, its mostly shots we have seen before. Theres one where Lloyd looks like hes using spinjitzu burst on the triceratops dudes? And it looks like the detachable missile robots on the back of the villain speeders clamp onto the dragon to transport it, considering they can fly as well. Also I love how the mask piece in the show has a black section, it looks so much better than the version we get in sets. I may take a sharpie to a duplicate part if I get it to try it out. I know im going to pick up the hunter hound and the bounty, so thats 2 Lloyds right there. 

New poster with Lloyd front and centre revealed, and you can see soras mech in the background, it looks amazing. Probably going to be a day one buy if the model was transitioned well from brick built to show form. The day is almost here, although JB hasn't put a countdown out yet.

JB Spielwaren doesn't always put a countdown, but I expect Summer 2023 sets to reveal quite late tomorrow, or early on May 2nd, (British Time)

Hi,

She's getting a 10€ gimmick set, but I guess you mean the regular Nya suit, as the Spinjitzu one will probably include some weird water variant of her.

Apart from the 30€ LEGO Shop-exclusive 4+ set, the only possibility of getting her is another LEGO Shop-exclusive set, which costs thrice as much.

They really dropped the ball, as she's my second most-wanted OG Ninja from this wave (after Jay).

Thanks for the the response 🙂

Yeah, regular Nya. I mean even if it's a more expensive regular set that's better than a cheaper 4+ set as I might actually want the set for the set itself where as the 4+ set I'm essentially paying £30 or whatever price for just the figs and maybe a cool print or 2.

And even the other parts in a 4+ set aren't usually useful for mocs other than to be supports hidden away by more interesting parts.

Don’t know if this has been talked about yet but Lego seems to be moving away from the fold now in terms on Ninjago music. Apparently they proposed a song to Lego for the new intro but Lego actually chose “someone else” which is interesting. I love the gold, they’ve done some amazing tracks, so this is kinda sad to see. Hopefully whoever is next up will carry on the mantle, I can’t wait to see what the new intro is like.

Ninjagomusic has said the Fold will most likely return in the future depending on the fans reception

Starting it now #bringbackthefold. 

Cautiously optimistic to hear the new music though, maybe something can be worked out to keep both on. 
Also in the teaser we got today do we think that’s Lloyd doing spinjitzu burst or the new dragon power up spinjitzu thing? 

Did we get promobricks descriptions on what the spinners are? Are they like legacy? Slam? Spinjitzu masters? Or something completely new?

Promobricks do not know but honestly this could be great, especially for Kai, his powers in the show have been sidelined too much so this could finally give him the elemental power boost he needs.

Dragon Power Figure Predictions: Kai will be Transparent Orange, Gold and Red                 

                                                      Lloyd will be Transparent Green, Gold and Green

                                                      Nya will be Transparent Light Blue, Silver and Light Blue

Looks like Zane gets a cameo as a Soccer Trophy looking thing in Lego Dreamzzz

 

[THELEGOBATMAN]

Oh wow wow wow wow wow, can't wait.

This is genuinely in my top five most anticipated LEGO waves ever.

Unfortunately I don't, as I was not making enough for how much they cost, and the aftermarket is mad. It’s a tough decision, seeing as I’ve never spent more than £200 on a single aside from my PS5 but on the other hand it looks really cool and based on the aftermarket for the others I’ll be kicking myself if I want it in the future. What’s the height of it?
 

On the topic of tomorrrow’s set images, I wonder what the odds are of that including the markets?

I would be surprised if they didn't reveal the markets along with everything else they've gotten better at controlling leaks but within a month prior I think that would be quite hard. Also, in 8 hours would be the time when Ninjago is receiving the most attention so they probably want as many people as possible to see the markets so todays seems as good a day as any.

I think the countdown in question is more for May 1st as the countdown ends at midnight eastern standard. I would imagine set pictures drop at the regular time (9 am est) if they are indeed coming tomorrow (which isn’t confirmed)

So you don't think seeing pictures in now about 6 hours and 12 minutes is realistic?
