Cool Stuff: This Official 'LEGO Ninjago Movie' LEGO Set Is The Third Largest Ever Released
There have been more and more LEGO sets tied in with movies in recent years, especially since The LEGO Movie sparked a whole cinematic universe of movies featuring the building block toys. With The LEGO Ninjago Movie arriving in September, there's a brand new line of LEGO sets bringing several vehicles, settings and all the characters from the movie, but none are quite as impressive as one particular set.
Ninjago City is just one of several LEGO sets that will be released in September in conjunction with the release of The LEGO Ninjago Movie, but it's the one that deserves the most recognition because it's the third largest LEGO set ever released to the public. Get a better glimpse at the Ninjago City LEGO set below.
The Ninjago City LEGO set has 4,867 pieces, putting it behind the Ultimate Collector's Series edition of the Millennium Falcon and the Taj Mahal for highest piece count. It also comes with nearly 20 minifigures. With a style similar to the LEGO Creator modular buildings like the Palace Movie Theater and the Ghostbusters firehouse, Ninjago City could make a nice addition to a larger diorama.
The bad news is that this LEGO set will cost you $299.99 if you want to add it to your LEGO collection. It will be available on shelves and at The LEGO Shop online starting on September 1st.
