Apparently Ninjago City Apartments is scheduled to be released in 2025 or 2026. Another modular for Ninjago. It's quite possible the set is already completed. I actually personally knew about City Market for a couple years. I just never leaked the information (I would not be believed anyway). The set had been done for a little while actually. My guess is LEGO waited till now to release City Market because they wanted to include a couple figs from the new series (that's just conjecture on my part).

Can you tell us if fugi dove is in the markets?

shows of some old prelims of sets like jays Titan mech and kais mech rider (which was originally a chopper bike, and the bone king did have a horse)

can someone please post the screenshots of these here, if that's allowed?
I cannot find them myself :(

They’re on froggyshades Instagram story. The mech rider has had the most significant change. Screenshots are a pain for eurobricks as they have to be small for some reason.

D2C - 71799: Ninjago City Markets (14+) 6163 pieces, $369.99
The set will include ~21 minifigures: Urban Kai, Urban Lloyd, Kai (Core), Jay (Core), Cole (Core), Zane (Core), Lloyd (Core), Nya (Core), Wu (Core), Garmadon (based on Ep. 20), Pixal, Vinny, Okino, Miss Demeanor, Twitchy Tim, Cyrus Borg, Civilian (x4-5)
There will also be a Borg Store and a small boat. Also, there should be Vinny's apartment, where Garmadon was in Ep. 20.

So no fugi-dove? Kinda disappointing. We need a ninjago CMF to round out all the characters we are missing or where released long ago. Im thinking Dr Julien, Antonia, the Upply, among others. Borg store is nice, gives us an opportunity to get Cyrus but im not sure how likely a Borg tower set is now. Im also fairly certain that the face print will be the exact same as the gamer truck dude. Happy to know Garmadons apartment will be present as predicted. Hopefully it has a feature to destroy the wall.

I've found entire Froggyshade's post and read it. Damn.
Bike is truly big loss here, reminds me of how lego cut crystal temple's size. It's just sad.
About stuff behind the scenes, it was pretty much obvious. Nobody's perfect, so yeah, won't be surprised if some of it might be truth.
BUT, what i'm truly sad about is Bone Temple. Scrapped big villain base for skeleton knights? God damn it lego, god damn it... But neat idea for someone's moc?
Now i wonder what and how much is downscaled in 2023 wave. I mean, not that's it bad, but to be honest so far all sets that got downscaled are not having super great design. But again, we'll see when images will drop. Fingers crossed

I can see Fugi-Dove and Antonia appearing in the Apartments, but I do agree that we need a Ninjago CMF (a real one, not just for the movie). 
I think that Borg Tower is fairly likely, since LEGO knows that we want one, and since the Apartments are already confirmed (meaning that LEGO also knows that the Ninjago modular line is popular and profitable). Maybe Borg Tower is part of the Apartments?

Ehh, I actually feel the bike we got is better. That one looks super busy and way to similar to the ghost rider bike, and even less worth the $45 price tag. The mech is also more generic looking, the one we got has those shoulder pads that give it a more unique look compared to other EVO mechs. The skeleton horse is a cool idea, but it doesn't look to great if I'm honest.

As for the rest of the info, I'm convinced it's all made up. He literally just mashed together every complaint, wish, and fan theory together to make people mad that 'we never got what we wanted'. I'm also super skeptical that Lego would scrap enitre waves with defined set names, minifigs, and even designs, to replace them with another. I just don't think Lego's design process is quick enough to get away with that, and I also think Ninjago in particular is more carefully planned than that. As for the next Ninjago modular, I think that's just an educated guess. Ninjago City Gardens released 2 years ago at this point, so it's not crazy to say that we'll get another one in 2 years. Same with the name, it's just another word that can be associated with a part of a city (docks, garden, market). Besides, I'm happier focusing on what we get than what may have happened.

As for the recent bounty leak, I like it. It has more of the shaping of the 2012 one while maintaining the detail of the legacy bounty. I fully expect the dragon head to be a detachable flyer or something, given the presence of the open hinge connector on the front, and hopefully something fills up the open deck space in the front. I'm also excited to see the interior, if the blurb on the side is accurate. We should see these sets within the next 2 weeks, so we'll find out soon!

Yeah, I’m very curious about the hole in the centre and any other features. Kinda miffed the designers didn’t at least try to use technic pin bricks and tiles to try to cover all the blue pins and holes on the mast, I have to hope that they’re there for a reason. 
Brick clicker mentioned in a recent video that we should be seeing pictures by the end of the week, I’m guessing that’s next week, and I’m not sure if that’s confirmation or an educated guess. Usually I’d say it’s just guessing but he’s part of the inner circle of leakers, so you never know. 
My advice to myself and others, don’t get your hopes up. But either way we are drawing near to the official picture date of may 1st, and it’s also been a hot minute since we’ve seen a trailer or anything for the show, so I won’t be surprised if we get a trailer on may 1st.

The only way I see us getting dr julien is a book, he’s been dead for 10 years let the dude rest in peace

im disappointed about no fugi dove

i kinda thought it would be fun to get borg tower next year, for rebooted 10th anniversary, but that probably won’t happen

im actually kinda shocked Antonia won’t be in the markets, would be the perfect place to put her alongside Nelson

I am not surprised, but I am very pleased! I assume that the Apartments will be a corner, and I hope that we finally get Borg Tower. 

What do you know about the Markets? Can you give us any details that are not visible from the blurry pic that we currently have? Do you know anything about the Minifigs? 
 

I did not know any details. When the information was revealed to me I actually did not care for Ninjago. But the set was for sure done at least two or three years ago (maybe more).

Did you have the info then? You mean you knew about it two or three years ago?

[Vindicare]

Now we’re getting more & more City! Even though the two straights are longer, I’m not overly excited bout every other year we get a corner. At least it won’t be as frustrating as the other Modular line since we don’t have to worry about sidewalks or roads but it still sorta limits how things can be placed. A small complaint that I’m definitely jumping the gun on.

I think the reason it’s 2 baseplates long is due to the docks being one and a half, and the gardens being one and a half with that temple. If you display the gardens and the city module side by side so it creates a double corner, then have the docks and the temple island going back behind the city and the markets go behind the gardens it makes a display that is 3 baseplates long by 2 baseplates deep. 
 

my point is is that the markets is probably 2 baseplates to match with the length of docks+temple island as that makes 2 baseplates length. And then the gardens and original city are standalone single baseplates.

I love the fact for the gardens and city that the entire city is just condensed onto one baseplate that’s so cool.

Doc Wyatt has confirmed that the "leaks" about Crystalized and the 2023/2024 stories are fake. They seemed fake, but it is good to have an official word on the subject. Also, @FroggyShade has begun posting supposed cut dialogue from Crystalized, which is obvious and painfully cringe buIIshit.

Well it’s good to get confirmation. Personally I don’t want to over blow this into a big drama war again, set pictures are on the horizon and I’d rather focus on that than some crappy internet fight.

Agreed. Also, we should be getting some new trailers or clips soon, as there are still three locked videos on the Dragons Rising page.

turns out the destiny's bounty set has 7 minifigures instead of the previously assumed 6 it includes Arin, Sora, Lloyd, Kai, Wu, Raz and another villain

Definitely Krux or acronix. Is it confirmed to be a villain? I was hoping for another ninja at least. These minifig designs had better be god-standard, above everything we got in crystalized to warrant the low figure count and prices.

[Fire-Ninja]

no the new minifigure is Kai who wasn't included before but i'm definitely hoping for krux/acronix as the villain too!

Eh i'll take kai. But Nya had better be in the temple or im going to be kind of disappointed. That 4+ set had better be amazing as well. I won't be surprised if there isn't at least a bit of backlash from the community. I'll support it. It just seems weird that she was dropped completely from all retail sets.

i agree, the temple probably includes Kai, Nya, Lloyd and cole and then a few villains

[living_off_lego]

judjing by all the info we just got about the minifigures i was really hoping we would get casual versions of all the new allies being intoduced in the reboot it would have been better to get them sooner wrather than later. also im gonna be really mad at lego if they only include vinney in the markets and make us wait 2/3 years to get gayle glossip in the apartments.

also im really hoping that the apartments are an extended corner building, where it goes past the single baseplate limit and dosent have much vertical height but is still very visually intresting
