Has any of his stuff actually come to light yet? I thought he was one of the sketchy leakers… even so, this is a realistic rumour, we’re due a bounty in summer 2025 and an evil bounty hasn’t been done physically before, given the parallels with the ninja and the forbidden 5 I can easily see this being real, it’s just the source itself that’s self sabotaging.

edit- it’s being reported on by the other new leakers that have had confirmed leaks, I’ll take the bait (reference)

Actually all of his 2025 leaks turned out to be true. He provided a lot of set descriptions, which were proven true in the leaked images.

A villain Destiny's Bounty does sound quite interesting. I don't have a Destiny's Bounty yet, so this new set does get my interest. Especially if it's a Forbidden 5 one, since my main goal for this year is to get all the members, and this I might even have at least 3. But we don't know the price or piece count, so I'll wait for that to maybe get more excited about it. I could see this being a bit cheaper then the regular Bounty at like $120/30.

You exactly surmised my thoughts on this. I can't help but get excited for the potential of this!

I'm an impatient bastard, but man I hope we hear some info on another Ninjago City set soon. I'm hoping Markets sold well enough to push the line into a proper regular series.

2026 will be the 15th anniversary of Ninjago. A perfect opportunity. Though I think there was a rumour of a ninjago D2C for 2025 but IMO I don't want it to be a yearly thing that might feel like oversaturation.

But thinking about Ninjago city. Now it's a Popular series and I'm sure they'll make another. Whether it would a corner module or a straight is anyone's guess. 

Here's some names that could work:

Ninjago city harbour, Ninjago city apartments, Ninjago city centre, Ninjago city crossroads, Ninjago city crossing, Ninjago city hub, Ninjago city backstreets, Ninjago city towers, Ninjago city promenade, Ninjago city monuments, Ninjago city districts, Ninjago city flats, Ninjago city high-rise, Ninjago city slums, Ninjago city palace, Ninjago city waterways, Ninjago city junction, Ninjago city hill, Ninjago city embassies, Ninjago city accomodation, Ninjago city mall, Ninjago city temples, Ninjago city parks, Ninjago city station, Ninjago city shops, Ninjago city boulevards, Ninjago city interchange, Ninjago city theatre, Ninjago city Avenue, Ninjago city stages, Ninjago city arena, Ninjago city race ground, Ninjago city Commerce, Ninjago city bay, Ninjago city beach Ninjago city bridges, Ninjago city tournament, Ninjago city hideout, Ninjago city heritage site, Ninjago city labs Ninjago city workshops, Ninjago city lockup and so on.

I think  Ninjago city crossroads makes the most sense to tie into dragons rising and the crossroads, it'd be nice to get some of the new side characters like Frohickey, Lobbo, Kreel and Frak. Though there's plenty of OG and Wildbrain characters I'd like to see too such as Doctor Julein, Twitchy Tim, Doctor Saunders Sanders, Cole's Dad and so on.

Now what locations could be represented on the next Ninjago city? Here are some ideas: the explorers club, Darkley's boarding school for bad boys, a Metallonian embassy, a shintaro embassy, Kreel's Junkyard, Borg tower, Garbage depo, courthouse, prison, serpentine library, NCTV news building, Newspaper delivery kid headquarters, Chef Grag-Bag's pie shop, and so on.

Nearly had a stroke reading this! I agree that ninjago city crossroads is very logical, but we keep on hearing the name “ninjago city apartments” get tossed around, usually as a fake leak but still! I think, given the pattern, that the next ninjago city is going to be a corner modular. Also, keep in mind that the micro ninjago city line exists, so they would probably need to make an addition to that collection too (though they never did and never complete the mini modular building collection sooo)

71837 The Crossroads (14+) 250€, 3244 pcs.

Releasing March 1st.

Plus Drix is the elemental master of swarm, which seems obvious considering the minifigure design buts good for confirmation. 
 

I doubt this is a Ninjago city set, I think a standalone set is the likely option. I’m seeing a couple of buildings, the central fountain and maybe 2 small scale mechs for racing? Geo, Dorama, Frohicky, Lobbo, Kreel, Grabbarg, maybe re-releases of Urban Arin and regular Sora? Finally I have a place for all my prime empire rats too, I have way too many of them. 

[Agent Kallus]

If it doesn't fit with the Ninjago city sets then I'll have to mod it to!! But awesome news.

The Summer 2025 polybag will feature Arin and a Dragonian this time.

I hope it's the Arin from the chaos dragon. That version seems more interesting, and it will mean that the jet still gets to have a single exclusive figure.

[Agent Kallus]

I mean it could be a third different Arin for the summer. Considering how we got mech and climber suits for part one this year and a third tournament suit in the summer. Of course Arin actually only got his S1 suit avs the tournament one though.

[AD_Bricks]

True, but also we can't necessarily rely on applying patterns for the other ninja to Arin for this wave, since from what we know he's in a similar boat to Jay now (at least in terms of presence in the sets)

[THELEGOBATMAN]

Yup, Sora and Arin variants do their own thing instead of following the patterns of the original Ninja (minus Jay).

Still, sounds like an awesome polybag. I love that it's a yearly thing—Kai vs. Rapton, Cole vs. Wolf Mask, and now this.

Oh yeah, that too, but I was referring to how he's now not really with the main team at the moment (like Jay), so I guess Arin is doubly unpredictable now, haha

Looks like the page got deleted, but the pictures are out on Instagram. Go check out the big guys for the pics! 
 

I guess this also means we won’t be getting any more new pics now sadly.

Some info concerning the village set, apparently the blue hat character is called “rogue” and according to bricksbymind is “a very interesting character” and considering they’re not part of the forbidden 5 name group, I’m guessing it’s a random one off side character like Akita or Benthomar, or, it’s Jay as a ronin type rogue character who is kinda just off doing his own thing and his figure was just thrown in, because as of last season, he has no one to go back to. Ras is gone, wolf masks are taken over by the F5. So I think this all but confirms Jay as the character in my opinion.

[mantax]

The new images of Lloyd's dragon don't really give us much, since it's a very small set. But I'm still a big fan of this set, and I will most likely buy it.

What I find more interesting are the descriptions of the Dragonian village and Lloyd's race car.

In the dragonian village there is a character called Rogue, who could be Jay or a new character, from what Mind was saying, I'd expect that to most likely be Jay.

For the Lloyd car we still don't know the other minifigure, but now this set will not be 30, but 25, which is great.

[Lyichir]

It's nice to see a recolor of baby Riyu used as another baby dragon. When that part first came out I was hoping it would see further use for different sorts of dragons, sort of like the wide variety of baby dragons in the 2016 Elves sets.

[THELEGOBATMAN]

Nothing more to add to the Lloyd's Dragon set since the leak—it's peak. Great set, looks amazing.

What's interesting is the description for the Village—Jay is now called Rogue. Knew it was him, that's awesome. Love the Ronin aesthetic, can't wait to see his character arc developing.

[AD_Bricks]

I keep hearing people referring to the new baby dragon (Riyu recolour) as gold, but it is just yellow, right?? Am I blind???
