LEGO Ninjago 2023 Discussion

Contemplating building a MOC of the racer mechs that we have seen in the show, im gonna get the vintage motorcycle creator set for the wheels as I’m pretty sure those are the wheels the mech will use in the show (same ones on the Kai raider from last summer) but im not sure how to make the mech balance? Obviously it can be explained in universe by a gyroscope but I’ll be interested to see how the Lego designers do it. Coles quake mech had a bar that it could sit back on but idk if the racer mech with have that as well. What do you guys think? Is it worth building? Or should we just wait for pictures?

Sooo... Rapton is the character people were mistaking for Krux and Arin is voiced by Deven Mack ( the Skull Sorcerer)

[a guy from somewhere]

Heads up, Ive found some new information and pictures on a website. Not Krux is officially called Rapton, as predicted. Their voice actors are also listed. Dragons rising will also be released on Netflix on June 1st.

Ahhhh beat me to it!

SYNOPSIS: In the series, many legendary realms have suddenly combined into one, but their union is unstable. A Spinjitzu Ninja Master must train a new generation of heroes to help find Elemental Dragons who can save the planet before the forces of evil use the same dragon energy to destroy this new world.

Sounds exciting, although still no mention of Zane and the others.

I LOVE the colour scheme for the new villains !

Both watching Docs twitter... Im very interested about the "Ninjago writer-producer Doc Wyatt assured fans on Twitter earlier this year that Dragons Rising is a brand-new series, not a continuation of the previous 11-year story" line.

I think that they will return mid-series to help find the dragons, each ninja will prbably get and elemental dragon in the show, from the sets -

Kai - Heatwave Transforming Lava Dragon

Jay - Lightning Elemental Dragon

Zane - Core Ice Dragon

Cole - Core Earth Dragon

Nya - Core Water Dragon

Lloyd - A Powerful Energy Dragon or perhaps the Imperium Dragon

Arin - Whatever his element is? Dragon

Sora - Whatever her element is? Dragon

Was the Imperium dragon mentioned in sets? I take it thats what we are calling the big green one with the ram horns and gold crest. 

The name seems familiar but I cant put it anywhere.

Imperium Dragon Hunter Hound?

Oh yeah, thanks! I guess that means the Imperium will be Hunting that specific dragon. I believe its the same dragon seen just standing in the first trailer we got.

Yes the dragon we see when the Merge occurs

Another thing, Zane's race car has 2 gliders and a small flying robot, im pretty sure the gliders are the villain speeders that are flying about, we see that the missile pods on the back can come off and fly on their own in one trailer. 

[Fire-Ninja]

Perhaps even Arin and Sora will get dragons

also

• Sabrina Pitre (Tobot, Beyblade Burst) as Sora – has previously voiced Vania and Garpo in Ninjago
• Brian Drummond (Sonic Prime, Dragon Ball Z) as Riyu
• Deven Mack (Sonic Prime, Daniel Spellbound) as Arin
• Giles Panton (Ninjago, The Man in the High Castle) as Rapton – has previously voiced Kalmaar in Ninjago.

who is Riyu?

Because Ras is Voiced by Brian Drummond, but Riyu?

I doubt it, although id like to see that. Maybe in a latter wave if they stick around.

They probably will eventually get dragons, LEGO wouldn't spend ages marketing on these characters and then dump them so im 100% sure they are here to stay and this new season is called Dragons Rising and it seems illogical not to give them Dragons, so i'm definite LEGO will give them Dragons in a later wave

What if Ras turns into the Imperium Dragon Hunter Hound?

For a moment thought set pics got revealed, but you are talking about show, phew i guess. Also we got couple new shots from show in that post, neat. Still funny that they decied to include back pin onto armor design.
Also, Rapton is the dragon hunter huh, seems he'll appear in sets often then. And if i'm seeing correct, his lower teeth are sharp and yellow? Maybe he's not really a "human" after all

[a guy from somewhere]

New character called “Riyu” coming, voiced by Brian Drummmond. Wonder who they could be. Maybe the dragon?

Dragons that speak?

Was thinking more along the lines of dragon noises, no other dragon has spoken before apart from the overlord dragon. But im not really sure who else it could be.

Ras, Raz, Rapton...
Perhaps another villain that starts with R?

I think thats what Harren meant. But yes, its probably a villain. We can rule out the empress. Maybe an unseen villain? Also regarding Ras being the imperial dragon hound, I also think thats likely, as that would give him a reason to be around and not be some random grunt. 

[Fire-Ninja]

My question is why would Control Time Control Everything be one of the scrolls in the monastery?

[a guy from somewhere]

If all the villains names start with R Im going to start calling her "The Rempress".

Ooh I forgot about that. Maybe a Red herring as Doc hinted? He must be having a laugh at how strung out we have been!
