LEGO NINJAGO Choose Your Ninja Mission

Amazon updated the book listing LEGO NINJAGO Choose Your Ninja Mission and we now know the identity of the minifig that will be delivered with this 128-page book: it is Jay in Legacy version, it is also on the cover.

Fans of the Ninjago universe will have understood that this minifigure is obviously not exclusive, it is the one already delivered this year in the sets 70660 Spinjitzu Jay, (€9.99), 70668 Jay's Storm Fighter (39.99 €) and 70670 Monastery of Spinjitzu (84.99 €).

There is therefore no objective reason to invest in this book, which is sold for more than 15 €, unless you really master English and you like this format "Book of which you are the hero"which allows you to take (a little) control of your adventure with about forty possible endings.

The book is currently in pre-order with availability announced for March 19, 2020. No information for the moment on a possible French translation.

Small update for those who prefer the French versions of LEGO books: the publisher Qilinn, which markets the localized versions in French, has put two eagerly awaited titles online at Amazon.

Build Your LEGO Harry Potter Adventure will be available on October 25, 2019 for € 28.95. As for the other volumes of the same collection, this is a collection of construction ideas (without instructions) accompanied by a set of parts.

The one provided here allows you to assemble a 2-in-1 model that features the Sorting Hat ceremony (Sorting Hat), a ritual that determines the home of all new students at Hogwarts. The minifigure delivered with this book is that of Harry Potter already seen in the set 75954 Hogwarts Great Hall and in the polybag 30407 Harry's Journey to Hogwarts, currently offered by LEGO.

LEGO Ninjago Revised and Augmented Encyclopedia will also be available from October 25, 2019 at a price of € 21.95. On the menu for this update of the 2014 version, 128 pages gathering most of what the LEGO Ninjago range has been offering since its launch in 2011 and a (really) exclusive minifig: Sensei Wu in his younger years.

I would point it out for those who are content to buy the cheapest version, whatever the language of the book: the English versions generally end up on sale for a few euros at Amazon, the price of the French versions remains stable even after several months of marketing. It's up to you. Up to you.

lego ninjago new episodes coming 2019

In a press release posted on the LEGO Ambassador Network (LAN), LEGO today unveils some information on the future of the LEGO Ninjago animated series including the new season entitled "Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu'"will be released shortly.

In short, the length of each episode goes from 22 to 11 minutes and this new season will be accessible even for those who have never watched the series so far (children who were too young a few years ago) with 30 episodes strewn with flashbacks and references to the events of previous seasons (it's not a fast-track reboot, but a bit anyway). First trailer announced for May 26th.

The press release below does not specify the broadcast channel for these new episodes and does not mention any particular channel. In my opinion, it is not impossible for the series to quietly end its days directly on Youtube ...

It seems to me from this announcement that it is therefore above all a question of recruiting a new audience for the series without disappointing those who continue to follow the adventures of the young ninjas:

NINJAGO: 'March of the Oni' marks the conclusion to an epic storyline which started in 2018. After a little vacation-time, it's time for the ninja to get ready for a brand-new adventure! The upcoming TV season will have 30 episodes of 11 minutes each, making it the ninjas' biggest adventure yet. The season picks up shortly after 'March of the Oni' and remains true to the story canon and the characters. 
 
This is not a reboot, nor a spin-off, but merely a brand-new adventure. A fresh beginning helps new viewers to watch and discover the magic of NINJAGO without knowing much about the 100 episodes prior. But if you do know your NINJAGO canon, it will be a fun and fast refresher-course, as we get everyone back up to speed. We want to make sure that NINJAGO is a welcoming experience. 
 
The new season marks the beginning of a new chapter in the world of NINJAGO. Whereas the first chapter was heavily tied to a 22 min serialized TV format, this next chapter will not be confined to a specific format. The 11 min episodes allow for new and creative possibilities for storytelling. Also, with the growth of exiting story formats like comics, in-world books etc. that are extending the NINJAGO universe, this new chapter will be more exploratory and creative. Our ambition to always keep NINJAGO compelling and interesting is core to the continued popularity of NINJAGO.
 
For long-time fans, this new season will feel both new and familiar. There will be many deep cuts, recurring characters, references to past events and reveals of previously undisclosed lore from ancient NINJAGO history. All those components are core to NINJAGO, and after all, the new episodes are being produced by some of the biggest fans of the franchise. NINJAGO has become a world of its own, and we have been blessed with the opportunity to tell action-packed, engaging and emotional stories to a constant stream of newcomers and long-time followers of the show. 

We hope you are ready to join us and the ninja as they embark on their next great adventure.

Stay tuned for the official 'NINJAGO: Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu' season teaser which will be released on May 26th.
