The Best LEGO Ninjago Sets (2025)

LEGO Ninjago: A 2025 Buyer's Guide to the Best Sets

LEGO boasts wildly successful third-party partnerships (Star Wars, Nintendo, Harry Potter, etc.), but its original themes are a more unpredictable gamble. Remember LEGO Hidden Side? Its two-year lifespan ended with app server shutdown. The newer LEGO Dreamzzz line hopes to avoid a similar fate, but creating a visually appealing product is different from ensuring commercial success.

LEGO Ninjago, however, is a shining example of enduring success. Blending martial arts and LEGO's signature humor, Ninjago has thrived for nearly 15 years, spawning two successful TV shows, a movie, video games, theme park attractions, and over 500 LEGO sets.

Here's a curated selection of the best LEGO Ninjago sets available in 2025:
