LEGO Ninjago is a Lego theme introduced in 2011.[1] It is the first to be based on ninja since the discontinuation of the Ninja sub theme of the Castle line in 2000.[2] Whilst it retains some elements of this previous theme, one of the main differences is a more detailed accompaniment story, primarily underpinned by the TV series that it's based on, Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu.
The theme enjoyed popularity and success in its first year, and a further two years were commissioned before a planned discontinuation in 2013.[3] However, after a brief hiatus, the line was revived after feedback from fans and has been in production ever since.[4]
Premise
The theme concerns the fictional realm of Ninjago, a place inspired by East Asian myths and culture. While featuring ancient villages, and traditional clothing, Ninjago is set in modern times, incorporating large cities with skyscrapers, as well as vehicles, large mechanized suits and other futuristic technology.
The main focus of the line is the formation and consequent exploits and trials of a group of teenage ninja, battling against the various forces of evil.
