A brand new year is almost upon us, and with that comes the latest wave of LEGO NINJAGO sets, which unsurprisingly includes brand new 'gimmick' sets for the unlicensed LEGO theme. These 'gimmick' sets launching on 1st January 2025, are similar to previous sets from the theme, such as 2023's 71779 Lloyd's Dragon Power Spinjitzu Spin, where a Spinjitzu Spinner is the main selling point of the $10 sets.
In 2025 however, we'll be getting 71823 Kai's Dragon Spinjitzu Spinner, 71824 Sora's Dragon Spinjitzu Spinner and 71826 Dragon Spinjitzu Battle Pack. All three sets are based on the latest season of Dragons Rising for the NINJAGO theme which continues to remain extremely popular amongst fans young and old.
71823 Kai's Dragon Spinjitzu Spinner
Our first Spinjitzu Spinner has already appeared online in some of the darkest places on the internet of 71823 Kai's Dragon Spinjitzu Spinner. Unsurprisingly, 71823 is based on the ninja Kai and this is reflected in a vibrant red colour scheme for the large Spinjitzu Spinner piece. A red launcher build for the spinner is also included along with a small red dragon that only uses around 6-10 pieces.
The $9.99 / €9.99 / £8.99 that includes 54 pieces also comes with two Minifigures. The first is the ninja Kai along with a brand new enemy which looks similar to LEGO Nexo Knights villains. This time, however, rather than being Lava Monsters, the Minifigure is a Lava Dragon Monster with the small dragon included in 71823 being able to attach to the figure.
Set Name - Kai's Dragon Spinjitzu Spinner
Set Number - 71823
Age Range - 6+
Piece Count - 54
Price - $9.99 / €9.99 / £8.99
Release Date - 1st January 2025
71824 Sora's Dragon Spinjitzu Spinner
71824 Sora's Dragon Spinjitzu Spinner will be almost identical to 71823 but this time based on the ninja Sora. Her Spinjitzu Spinner will likely be coloured white, pink and navy just like previous builds based on the character. She will be included as a Minifigure along with an enemy, the small brick-built dragon and a launcher build for the Spinjitzu Spinner which includes just two pieces more than 71823 at 56.
Set Name - Sora's Dragon Spinjitzu Spinner
Set Number - 71824
Age Range - 6+
Piece Count - 56
Price - $9.99 / €9.99 / £8.99
Release Date - 1st January 2025
71826 Dragon Spinjitzu Battle Pack
Our third and final LEGO NINJAGO Dragon Spinjitzu Set is the most interesting of the three of 71826 Dragon Spinjitzu Battle Pack. The 6+ model includes a total of 186 pieces retailing for $19.99 / €19.99 / £17.99 - a significantly larger set than 71823 and 71824. That's mainly because 71826 is a battle pack for the Spinjitzu Spinner's including two of the 'gimmick' models for the ninja's Cole and Ras.
Obviously, Cole and Ras along with their respective coloured Spinjitzu Spinners are included as Minifigures but with none of the new enemies in this Winter wave. More launcher builds for the Spinjitzu Spinners are also included along with a small battle arena that likely takes up most of the 186 pieces included.
Set Name - Dragon Spinjitzu Battle Pack
Set Number - 71826
Age Range - 6+
Piece Count - 186
Price - $19.99 / €19.99 / £17.99
Release Date - 1st January 2025
71823 Kai's Dragon Spinjitzu Spinner, 71824 Sora's Dragon Spinjitzu Spinner and 71826 Dragon Spinjitzu Battle Pack all release on the 1st of January 2025 but what do you think?
