Unlikely, although currently we haven’t seen any big reveals. Minecraft is still on the table. And correct me if I’m wrong but there’s still some creator sets? And maybe Star Wars?

Nothing from them yet. On a side note, I was looking at the team mech set. It comes with Rapton, Lloyd, Arin and 2 of the triceratops guys. But the trikes are in Perl dark grey by the looks of it, not gold. Maybe a higher level of goon? Or a mistake?

Do you think there are s still a chance we can see them this week or only on the half of the month ??

crystalized had 2 types of warrior torso prints, one of which never appeared in show. Perhaps similar case but this time more diverse?

Could be cool, although we should be working with the same budget as crystalized at this point for the main wave. The way I see it is: 

2022

Core ninja team + snakes 1Hy

crystalized 

-> due to simple designs of core we get crazy figures for crystalized 2HY

2023 

Core ninja team already done so no budget needed + bone warriors (this is the snake spot for last year) 1HY

dragons rising -> due to simple designs + no need to design ninja for winter wave = same budget as crystalized. 
 

The spare budget left over that would have been allocated to new suit designs for the winter 2023 wave will instead either be dispersed into the DR wave, or used on new characters in the markets set.

 

Basically we should be getting some stellar figures that are on par or better than crystalized

If this is the case I’m going to be pretty disappointed. Hype will be gone by then and at least some sets would have leaked. Hype is like 2 sides of a rising hill. One side is the hype, the other is the reveal. If the reveal takes too long (hill is too high) then the hype will slow down and die out.

10 am est on a wednesday and still nothing

DAMN IT

I’m more surprised we haven’t had ANY reveals about today, not just Ninjago. Must be legos off day .

[Harren Tonderen]

From hypes to worries i guess
wonder if dragon core temple will be revealed at same day as sets, since it's lego-exclusive and stuff

Well I will share some opinions regarding all this situation of Lego not revealing the sets, so here we go:

Topic 1- I think we all know as Ninjago fans that Lego is doing an incredible job for the new show. They gave to us a lot of trailers and that’s a really good improvement on Lego’s part in comparison of past years. But there is the other side of that coin and that is:

Topic 2- The terrible marketing of the summer Ninjago set images. And we also know that we are on this road for many years at this point. We wait months with excitement to see the set images and when we finally get the chance to see them we do not see them, and I mean there was various other sets that got revealed officially for the first time without other retailer leaking them and that’s where the topic 3 comes into play:

Topic 3- I don’t understand why Lego prefers to give the sets for retailers for them to leak first, before they reveal them, and the worst part is that we as fans have to depend on the retailers to show us the images in a annoying time  when they want. And the last thing I wanted to say is that I asked JBspielwaren, and they said that the Ninjago sets are planned for a later date in May. I asked again, they have seen my message but don’t wanted to respond. The worst thing is depend on them without answers, good job Lego, good job.

Wait, so all the ninjago sets are planned for a later reveal in may? Or did they just say “Ninjago sets are planned for a later date in may”??? 
 

That’s it fellas, I’m un-synchronising  my Lego watch and hanging my hat up. Look forward to discussing the next Ninjago trailer though. Lego really killed the mood I guess.

Well they only said that  they are planned for a later date. When I asked what date it would be they didn’t  respond me which I think is terrible because if they know the date why they don’t say for us.

LEGO needs to be careful with those late reveals, because there's a thin line between being hyped and being annoyed. 

I remember the same thing happened with the first The Inifnity Saga wave two years ago — they revealed the sets a week or two after they've revealed everything else, and I've never seen an Eurobricks forum so frustrated. The sets ended up leaking through a Korean check-up or something.

We're not at this point yet, but if they don't reveal them before the weekend, it will become just another case of a messed-up reveal.

NINJAGO Dragons Rising sets will probably reveal tomorrow or Friday i'm gussing JB Spielwaren mean that the markets reveal in the middle of May, because that is the same thing another leaker said

Hmmmmmmm, lego delays set photos so much, i wonder why... Like they do indeed drop so much about tv show, and then zero info about sets, even from leakers ("we don't know" this and "we don't have info" that). Regardless, it's important to control excitement right now, Do not let your head draw enormous mountains and your possible dissapointment will be less - in fact, you'll may be able to see more positive when it'll out (i'll stay on my thoughts that team mechs so far is best set)

[a guy from somewhere]

Yes, I’m thinking that we will get the sets by the weekend. Although a worst case scenario is we get a “Ninjago day” where they reveal the main trailer (most likely in mid-may), markets (will be revealed in mid-may) and the sets (could be revealed at any time). As cool as this would be, I don’t see them pushing it to mid-may without some sort of massive set leak.

Well apparently the account lego_minecraft_thegoat posted a countdown saying new Ninjago details in one hour hopefully it’s not the Promobricks details that we already got…

Small update on the markets- reveal will be around the middle of may. That’s unfortunate, it means it won’t be revealed with the rest of the sets, I wonder why they’re being kept back then? Or maybe they won’t also be revealed until half way through may. Let’s not entertain that theory. Also there’s a very cool MOC of soras mech on Instagram, user is @kawanbrick. Go show it some love!

Where did you get the news that the market reveal will be delayed until mid-may?

Exabricks legos story, the reveal is delayed to mid may, it releases June 1st.

And I wouldn’t say delayed, just that’s the reveal date. 

[a guy from somewhere]

Details are out, not much unfortunately. This wave will be a GBC builders dream though. Just wish we actually saw the sets, but this is enough to tide me over for the day. Still feels rough though. We appreciate it @Lego_minecraft_goat!

[THELEGOBATMAN]

I really want to see the gimmicks and how the Dragon Cores have been incorporated into them (I suppose they are a part of a play function).
