LEGO's success with licensed themes like Star Wars and Harry Potter is undeniable. However, their original creations often have a more unpredictable track record. Remember LEGO Hidden Side, the augmented reality ghost-hunting theme? Its short lifespan highlights the challenge of creating commercially successful original IPs. LEGO Dreamzzz, the latest original theme, aims to avoid this fate, but visual appeal isn't enough; lasting market success requires broader public awareness.
One LEGO theme that consistently defies this challenge is Ninjago. Blending martial arts and LEGO's signature humor, Ninjago 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:
