LEGO Ninjago 2023 Sets Officially Listed at LEGO.com

LEGO has finally unveiled its line-up of LEGO Ninjago 2023 sets, expected to arrive in early January next year. As an offshoot of this year’s LEGO Core subtheme, most of these new EVO-inspired sets allow younger LEGO builders to upgrade or enhance them and unlock new play features.

There’s a total of 10 sets to expect from this LEGO Ninjago 2023 offering, and it’s nice to see that with these, LEGO seems to be focusing more on attracting new and younger fans to the LEGO Ninjago franchise. The series together with its tie-in TV shows and animated films have been running for more than 11 years already since its inception in 2011. The final episodes of the LEGO Ninjago series were concluded early this year, and we just have to wait and see if these new 2023 offerings will give us a hint about what’s in store for one of LEGO’s longest-running series.

Check out the official images below, and you may click on the following affiliate links below if you wish to know more and add them to your LEGO wishlist for 2023.
