Summer LEGO NINJAGO Legends sets unveiled!

Wait, these are new characters?

I know it's been said before, but the minifig outfits for the mecha are very Neon Genesis.

Ultra Dragon Battle set looks like an imagined version of the battle told in legend. Like 100 years after and the story of Ultra Dragon vs great devourer is told and people imagined that the dragon looked like this: A gigachad beast on steroids. Just realised that thats probably the whole point of the set lol

Those are some great Mechs.

I wonder how that “humanoid” Ultra Dragon compares to Thunderfang from last year…

Great looking sets, but terrible Ninjago sets. I haven't gotten around to watching the Legends miniseries, so I don't know the context for these sets, but why do they even feel the need to branch out to non-canon Ninjago stories now? Is the main show just that convoluted at this point? (Too bad they won't recognize that's a hint they should end it already.) What's wrong with making proper Legacy sets? If they must be mechs, we never got Garmadon's 4-armed mech from Season 2....

Anyways, between Cloud's sword in last year's sets, now Kai's mech having a long gun on top like a certain Metal Face had, plus characters named "Jin" and "Mira", man, LEGO is really teasing me. C'mon, where's the Xenoblade sets, LEGO? Tell Nintendo to let you do something other than Mario & Co (and AC, and Zelda)!

Meh all the way. Besides the figs.

Can’t say I’m really a fan of any of these. I will get the Titan Mechs to round out that collection. The rest, pass.

I want a Metroid set. I've only played a bit of the original, but a Samus Aran would be cool to get in minifig form.

I like the legends sets a lot.

Here's the description from lego.com for the Ultra Dragon.

Ultra Dragon Battle

The Twin Titans mechs are great, but it's another case of a two-pack that should be sold as two sets. The other sets are really polished displays, which is good for AFOL Ninjago fans who like that, but they're not my cup of tea. Still waiting for the new Land Bounty to be unveiled.

It’s funny to think about how Ninjago was originally supposed to end after the Final Battle arc and be replaced with Legends of Chima.

Anyways, between Cloud's sword in last year's sets, now Kai's mech having a long gun on top like a certain Metal Face had, plus characters named "Jin" and "Mira", man, LEGO is really teasing me.

Lego Xenoblade is in the “no way this is gonna happen but I would buy the whole theme day one” category.

When did Ninjago turn into a theme for adult collectors instead of kids?

It didn't? There's still sets aimed at kids. But the demand for sets like these in addition to those grew as the original audience for the theme grew up. Kids who were six to ten years old when the theme first came out are in their twenties now.

I looooove these. Big mechs and dragons! Two of my favourite things!
