LEGO's success with licensed themes like Star Wars and Harry Potter is undeniable. However, their original creations have a more inconsistent track record. Remember LEGO Hidden Side, the AR-enhanced ghost-hunting theme? Its short lifespan highlights the challenge of creating commercially successful original IPs. The newly launched LEGO Dreamzzz line faces a similar test; visual appeal doesn't guarantee market success.
But one LEGO theme consistently defies this challenge: 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.
Here are some top LEGO Ninjago sets available in 2025:
