LEGO Ninjago: A 2025 Buyer's Guide to the Best Sets
LEGO boasts wildly successful third-party partnerships (Star Wars, Nintendo, Harry Potter, etc.), but its original themes are more unpredictable. Remember LEGO Hidden Side? Its short lifespan highlights the challenge of creating commercially viable, widely popular original brands. While the recently launched LEGO Dreamzzz line shows creative promise, its long-term success remains to be seen.
LEGO Ninjago, however, is a shining exception. This blend of martial arts and LEGO's signature humor has thrived for nearly 15 years, spawning two successful TV shows, a movie, video games, theme park attractions, and over 500 LEGO sets.
Below are some of the top LEGO Ninjago sets available in 2025:
