So... what happens now? Are we getting the full poster? A trailer? Sets reveal? Kinda confusing.

The baby dragon piece looks quote literally perfect. Such an incredible mould.

We're definitely close enough to June that they could do an official set reveal now, but I'm not sure if that's what they are really trying to lead up to with this poster thing they've been doing.

I think the most likely time line (and what I’d like to see the most)  is for a full poster and trailer to be revealed, possibly Tomorrow if we are following the 2 day rule that was set by the fragment reveal (unlikely as that campaign is over, so it could be any time). Then we get a friends style set reveal with a ton of promotion and bits from content creators, and another trailer/teaser of the show, this time showing the sets off more, like the one we got for crystalized episode 5 that focused on the staff transit heist. After that, there’s 4 more videos, I’d put one to release on the embargo date LAN members receive so it goes up when they’re first allowed to release reviews of the upcoming wave. After that, a couple more teasers and then it’s June 1st, and the show releases.

These look real, and I love them! Kais design is pretty good, soras, I’m half and half on. I’m guessing these are based of the Lego figures and not the show designs.

[Fire-Ninja]

i'm so grateful and hyped that KAI FINALLY GETS A FOCUS !!!

it's not confirmed but he seems to be at the center of the poster, the merch, the Time twins and the focus of the LEGO NINJAGO set the Heatwave Transforming Lava Dragon 71793

I’m really sorry to burst your bubble, I wish as well that Kai would get some focus, ever since the fire chapter in S11 he’s been pushed to the back, but Doc, the new show runner confirmed that focus seasons aren’t really going to be a thing in the new show. Hopefully Kai gets some development though, he’s long overdue it.

I love the baby dragon piece! Hopefully it comes in lots of colors and prints.

I assume it'll be like the baby dragons we had in Lego Elves, where we got the same animal in different colours. Lego likes reusing moulds

I suspect for Nya and arins baby dragon battle we will get a new mould for nyas baby dragon as well, though you have a point about reusing moulds

I’m still believing it’s a one time thing for this season at least, as this specific dragon is in the promotion material, and no other dragon has been seen yet (apart from that absolute Titan that was in the teaser). I wouldn’t be surprised if they reused the mould later on though. I have noticed however looking at the piece and the poster, the colours are inverted? One has light skin and dark scales and the other has dark skin and light scales? Weird?

We are going to need a full retrospective on all the leaks we’ve had so far, I’ll start with physical stuff. We’ve had: 

Zane’s top hood

The dragon

The dragon energy core

Kai’s armour

Entire Lloyd figure 

I think that’s it right? 

We’ve also had the magazine leak, the team mech image, the T-shirt and the poster (although that’s official). If there’s anything else, let me know. I’m trying to piece together what this seasons theme is and so far all I’m seeing is a complex rubrics cube of different plot details. Dragons seems like the major link. 

[a guy from somewhere]

Final complete poster is now out! Looks alright, appears to be a city in the background. No sign of Zane Jay or Cole, but we know Zane is in the season (he has a mask part leaked and a racer car set) so I don’t think the other 2 are completely gone. 
 

Also, Lego is marketing the new Dreamzzz theme….. through Ninjago? There’s a teaser where Kai tells the others in the monastery about a “dream” he has, where there’s a green and white robot (kinda looks like the iron giant, but is “Z-blob”), a rabbit with yellow bands on its front feet, and a giant crocodile but it’s body is a car, with the legs coming out of its wheel wells. I’m guessing there’s a thread for dreamzzz but I just found it interesting that the first teaser is through Ninjago. My guess is Lego is trying to promote it through an already well known and profitable ‘thing’ to try and give it a head start. 

The animation style is different from what we usually see in Ninjago, I wonder if it’s the same as what we will get for the new show. Lloyd also has black eyes in this, which is strange. Poster is also confirmed to be a “teaser poster” which, I mean ok? A little weird? But cool, hopefully we see jay and Cole soon. It’s concerning that they haven’t shown up in any media so far, but Kai and Lloyd have been in all of them. Nyas kinda stuck in the middle.

[a guy from somewhere]

Does anyone have a working link to the dragons rising page? Cant get it to work for me. 
edit- found one.

stuff just got really weird….

Ok so I couldn’t find a way to make the videos work, I’m not sure if anyone else has got them to work yet. I’ve seen one, before this all revealed. I’ll grab the poster link now, but it only works on mobile though?

That’s the link to the main campaign page, the poster is one of the 6 videos. 3 more to go then!

Thanks! Videos won’t work for me, but seems interesting

edit: videos are up on legos yt channel, not to jump on the conspiracy train or anything, but maybe dreamzzz is set within the same world as ninjago?

Just put this into the dreamzzz thread as well, yeah this is strange. Maybe dreamzzz is one of the 16 realms?

 

edit- 14 realms. Cursed and djinjago are gone. Always forget that…

That baby dragon is adorable! 

The other three Dreamzzz teasers are up on LEGO’s YouTube:

Considering the Merge, I doubt that Dreamzzz will take place in one of the Ninjago theme’s Realms. That said, if these promos are canon, it would mean that the dreamworld is accessible from the Ninjago universe. 🤔

Lotta new stuff, but I think this is better suited for the dreamzzz thread. I’m wondering if this is actually tied to Ninjago in any cannon way, as in the Zane short, the bus driver/pilot (the monkey who I think is called “Mr Oz”) mentions “it is sensible and mandatory to wear a seatbelt for *dream-realm transit*”. Maybe it is a realm? Has Doc said anything over on Twitter about this yet? I kinda hope if it does show up in the season it’s just a cameo and not a big plot point, this feels way to chaotic and disruptive compared to what we’ve seen so far for Ninjago dragons rising.

I’m starting to suspect that Jay and Cole will be out of the action this season, not unlike Zane was during Prime Empire. It would give the writers more room to explore the new characters. Now, I’m still hoping minifigs turn up for them in at least one set, but you never know. Again, Zane never got a minifigure for Prime Empire.

Isn't he the pink Avatar Zane minifigure?

That was more of an Easter egg/nod to long time fans than a zane appearance. Zane had a minifig design for a digisuit (with arm printing) but it only ever showed up on a card and not as a physical minifig. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the team did get sidelined but I wish it wasn’t Cole if this is happening. He sat out most of seabound and he feels like he has also been pushed to the back since season 13.

According to Doc Wyatt, "Ninjago: Dragons Rising" is the new series title.

Well, the flash tracking set just got cancelled by Lego according to the lego_minecraft_goat, I’m starting to get a little nervous about the markets, considering we have heard nothing from it since the original rumour. Lego seems to be on a cancellation spree and I’m hoping this is just my fears getting the better of me. I can’t remember if the gardens lead-up was as fruitless as this current cycle is. There was that 1 blurry prelim leak right? And before and after that until it’s reveal in the catalog it was basically radio silence.

Since none of the Ninjas' voice actors have gone on an extremely public crime spree, I am not worried.
