Are you ready for your next fix of LEGO Ninjago? Ninjago Dragons Rising is hotly anticipated to air on June 1, 2023, on Netflix. The show is a CGI comedy-action series and the sequel to Ninjago. The narrative consists of a Spinjitzu Ninja Master who trains a group of new heroes to rescue the planet through the discovery of Elemental Dragons. The storyline follows two teenagers with their newfound ninja powers, defending the dragons against the evil forces that seek to destroy the world. LEGO Group’s Head of Product, Nigel Kong has divulged that the focus on dragons was as a result of a survey conducted in 2021, which revealed kids desired dragons to be the main topic of the story.

NINJAGO is one of our favourite Lego themes in the Investabrick office. Sounds like a bold statement and in truth we often get challenged on why this would be the case. When we are eagerly awaiting a new NINJAGO sub theme it’s always nice to remind ourselves and some key investment data. We have had a whopping 500 Lego NINJAGO sets released since 2011. Over 430 of these sets have retired and these at RRP would have totalled close to £6000, where we got all sweaty is when you consider that these sets are now valued at a rather magnificent £20,000. This shows an average annualised growth of 20%. This is why we always say double down on NINJAGO!! You could of used this strategy when buying Lego from 3 recently retired Lego NINJAGO sub themes including Lego NINJAGO Masters of the mountain (annualised growth of 10%) Lego NINJAGO Prime Empire (annualised growth of 8%) ,finally Lego NINJAGO Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu (annualised growth of 28%).
