LEGO boasts incredibly popular collaborations with major brands like Star Wars, Nintendo, and Harry Potter. However, their original themes have had a more mixed reception. Remember LEGO Hidden Side, the augmented reality ghost-hunting theme? Its short lifespan highlights the challenge of creating commercially successful original properties. LEGO Dreamzzz, their newest original theme, faces this same hurdle. While visually appealing and creative, long-term success requires more than just imaginative design; it needs broad public appeal and strong market viability.
But one LEGO brand consistently avoids this problem: LEGO Ninjago. This blend of martial arts and LEGO's signature humor has thrived for nearly 15 years, boasting two successful TV shows, a movie, video games, theme park attractions, and over 500 sets. Its enduring popularity is a testament to its compelling concept and consistent execution.
Here are some of the best LEGO Ninjago sets available in 2025:
