Lego Ninjago

If you want to be a professional Lego builder, my advice would be to not get stuck building the same theme.

So whether that's Lego sets, and maybe you only love Lego Star Wars or Ninjago, and those are the only sets you get.

Or if you build something, you always build the same thing.

Maybe it's always a different version of a car.

How do you think Lego would go about play featuring his powers?

I almost think of almost a Ninjago spinner type of thing.

Okay.

Like the old spinners or some way to show his powers like that.

Yeah.

My only big sets, really, is Daily Bugle, Ninjago City Markets, and I have the Loop Roller Coaster right there.

Oh, nice.

I guess you can't fully see it, but...

Yeah, so...

And then, yeah, there's like...

Oh, Ninjago!

Ninjago Mechs and Dragons and stuff up there.

So 20 years of this, it's going to be a big hit if they if they play their cards right and actually have a really good build.

Ninjago's latest story, the Ninjago Legends Duskfall, is out now.

Now you can go over to YouTube and see the three different clips for it, all for free.

So if you're a Ninjago fan, it looks like you're going to get a fun little adventure just in a three-part series over on YouTube.

Now there's There are some teasers in there for what could be next, and they continue to do this because it's still a very, very popular theme.

So I'm looking forward to seeing how they continue to evolve this.

Actually, probably more successful.

So I guess we'll have to wait and see as they continue doing this.

I aim for them to be as techno-literate as possible.

So, for example, my son had a bunch of questions about Ninjago, the Lego thing that he's into.

And he's like, can I ask AI for it? And I was like, yeah, sure, let's go ask AI.

But I made sure, again, going to think about the meta perspective, I opened up a conversation with ChatGPT, and I said, hey, you are talking to a seven-year-old kid Don't give him just the answers directly.

It was asking him questions.

It was getting him to come up with cool ideas.

And all of a sudden, it went from asking a question about Ninjago to telling a crazy story about ninjas and knights and robots and everything like that.

I'm like, awesome.

I still think that's down to rights.

I don't think they can just slap a Ninjago something on But there must be

Ninjago clothing and

stuff

that Lego sell, which they could

stock, but they don't really.

But then, you know, imagine, because I think of the Guardians of the Galaxy top, which has got the car going down.

What's the difference between that and the Ninjago one? Just with a lovely pattern around it.

There's a lot of Asian cultures within Lego Ninjago.
