Previously rumoured to be a brick-built version of the city The Crossroads, new reports suggest that this year LEGO NINJAGO D2C will in fact be another expansion to the ever-popular and ever-growing LEGO NINJAGO modular cityscape. This LEGO NINJAGO City set in particular is 71837 NINJAGO City Workshops which includes a total of 3,244 pieces retailing for $249.99 / €249.99 / £219.99. At that price point, 71837 will be the second-cheapest set of the collection and the smallest in terms of piece count. It will also be the only set in the 14+ collection to be an inward-facing modular rather than 71741 NINJAGO City Gardens which acted as a corner building. With that said, however, 71837 sits on the usual 32x32 baseplate with technic pin connections included to attach it to the previous LEGO NINJAGO buildings.
The set consists of two relatively tall buildings being mainly coloured reddish brown and dark orange but leading up to a more colourful array of rooms. At the bottom of the modular, we have another water section where plenty of detail has been put in place by the designers. There's also a grey workshop stand where a Twitchy-led yellow mech can be placed and worked on by the people of the NINJAGO City Workshops.
Behind the stand and small area of water are the bottom floors of the two buildings. The next floor consists of a similar architecture and level of detail but this drastically changes as we hit the third floor and the roof. Here, the building style is more modern, colourful and detailed with plenty of play features and exciting prints. The interiors, like the rest of the building, are packed full of details and Easter eggs from the Dragons Rising TV series. A yellow crane is also included on top of the Workshops and can easily be attached and reattached to work on the yellow and grey mech down below. Along with this mighty build, we get an expansive Minifigure selection including a total of eleven characters. These include Zane, Pixal, Harumi, Dorama, Dr Larow, Twitchy Tim, model shop owner, workshop mechanic, restaurant worker, Dragonian tourist and Dorama's puppet.
