Ninja Time Period

[gormadoc]

I was browsing through some Lego Ninja stuff the other day and I thought to myself 'When's it set?'

We know Castle is set in the middle ages with fantasy elements, but Ninja I don't know.

The Chinese discovered gun powder around 1000 AD, the East also developed the cannon a little earlier than Europe.

I have a feeling it could be set in the mid-late 15th century as they use guns and cannons.

What do YOU think?

I agree with you, around that time. Although it's hard to tell preciously. But gunpowder was actually discovered a long time ago from 1000 AD, though it wasn't made into weapons until 1000 AD (ish) and there weren't any affective guns until the 17th - 18th century.

I think you should take the Ninja/Samurai line with a bit of a grain of salt as to when it occurred. Obviously it would have to be a bit late with the amount of gunfire they're packing but to exactly pinpoint where it is would be folly. I prefer to think that it all occurred at the same exact time as my castle men, my pirates, my townspeople, and the space sets all at exactly the same time in alternate universes Makes it interesting in the crossovers. Ninjas vs Pirates vs Castlemen vs Aliens. I'm currently pitching this to studio executives for a movie!
