NINJAGO Season One DVD now for pre-order!

(Written by Geneva – gid617)

No, I didn’t mean Ninjago Season Two – Ninjago Season One is now available for pre-order. And while most of us thought it was over long ago, it seems like that may not be the case! 🙂

The original two-episode series of Ninjago (later split into four) in which the ninja train, learn the martial-art of Spinjitzu, battle (and ultimately loose to) the skeleton army, is not Ninjago Season One – instead, these episodes are now being called the pilot episodes, at least by some.

Basically, these original Ninjago episodes served the purpose of an introduction – which makes sense, since it is odd that the first season would have only two episodes and the next season thirteen. If the Season Two rumors are correct (that is, the episodes about the pirates and the stone army), then it’s pretty obvious that there has to be a third season to complete the story. In that case, there will be a total of only three seasons, as has been rumored, but there will be a follow-up to next year’s season. Confused? 🙄

It is also interesting to note that the LEGO Club Magazine never once refers to the Ninjago seasons as One and Two (or anything besides “the series” – with the occasional addition of an adjective – for that matter). Although the official release date for the DVD is not until June 26th, it is available for pre-order from both Amazon and Wal-Mart.

Ninjago Season One is on two discs, and does not appear to contain any bonus features. Also, the DVD clearly says Ninjago Season One, and another interesting feature is the fact that Lloyd appears not only in ZX costume, but with long pants, unlike in the show itself. This also clearly spoils the “Who is the Green Ninja?” question for anybody who didn’t know yet.

All in all, this raises (at least in my mind) several questions. Will there be any mini-movies for the new series? Why is Lloyd taller, if he doesn’t appear taller in the series? What about Lloyd’s face; will the original smirk be the same on his spinner? How will the ninja retrieve their golden weapons from Lord Garmadon in Ninjago Season Two? Do you have any exciting Ninjago news to share? Or are you still skeptical? Let me know in the comment section below. 😉

You may also want to check out Season Three – What will it Bring? or head over to the LEGO Ninjago section to watch (or re-watch) the Ninjago Rise of the Snakes episodes, and read and discuss other Ninjago news. If you would like to see my previous post, you can find them below:

LEGO City Car-Park & Garage coming!

(Written by Nicolas N.)

Rumors have been circulating for several months now about an all new LEGO City set, first seen at the LEGO World event in Denmark. The set I’m referring to is a new LEGO City parking-garage (aka. car-park for our UK friends). Below are some pictures taken at LEGO World by Flickr-member Eiker86. (Click on images for larger view.)

After much discussion on LEGO forums whether this LEGO City set was official or LEGO-fan created, the validity of the set was finally confirmed when the German toys & hobbies website ValueBrick listed them for sale, along with the official LEGO box images seen below:

This newest addition of LEGO City is called #4207 LEGO City Car-Park & Garage, and will be available later this year – although if you are in Germany it seems you can get it already. 😉

The #4207 LEGO City Car-Park & Garage set includes an entry-gate with ticket-dispenser, a security guard’s booth, six parking spaces, a mechanic’s area for fixing cars  (which could be converted into another parking space by removing the mechanic’s accessories), a small gas-pump at the back of the parking-garage, and a working elevator that takes cars up and down between the three floors. (It seems that LEGO is putting elevators in quite a few sets lately.)

Four cars are included with the LEGO City Car-Park: a yellow car that seems to be a hatchback version of the car seen in #4435 LEGO City Car & Caravan set, an MPV (Multi-Purpose-Vehicle) which many believe is a LEGO VW Kombi Van, a blue hatchback, and an orange tow-truck (similar to, though smaller, than the #7638 LEGO City Tow-Truck released in 2009).

Looking at the pictures it seems that five minifigures are included in this LEGO City set: a female citizen, two male citizens, a security-guard and a mechanic. Here is a great video showing the different features of the LEGO City Car-Park & Garage set by YouTube member MADABOUTLEGO:

I believe the new LEGO City Parking Garage offers a lot of play-value for LEGO City fans, and would also look great in a larger LEGO City display. Parking spaces are pretty tight, but we all know that LEGO minifigures pop off their car-roofs to climb in and out of their vehicles. 😀

Thanks for reading my second review here at theBrickBlogger (you can see my first review here: Limited Edition LEGO Minifigures Olympic Team). Please let me know what you think of the new LEGO City set, and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. Thanks for reading! 🙂
