Be honest: it’s been a while since you last played with LEGO. But just one look at the new anniversary set LEGO® NINJAGO® The Old Town and something clicks inside you. Because this isn’t just a toy. It’s a monument to an era that grew up with us — and now returns in its most mature, detailed, and truly epic form.
For the 15th anniversary of the NINJAGO universe, LEGO brought out the heavy artillery: 4,851 pieces, age rating 14+, and a level of detail that will light up the eyes even of those who long ago swapped the toy shelf for the whiskey shelf. “The Old Town” isn’t just a backdrop — it’s a full-fledged world you want to get lost in for a couple of evenings, phone off and everything else aside.
The set’s biggest pride is its 23 minifigures, an absolute record for NINJAGO. It includes all seven original ninjas, plus three exclusive characters that collectors would fight over in the comments: Young Wu, Young Garmadon, and the First Spinjitzu Master. These aren’t just figures — they are keys to the franchise’s history, perfect for recreating iconic scenes or inventing your own legends.
The set’s architecture deserves a special mention. “The Old Town” consists of four modular sections: a lookout, a three-story tower, a post office with workshop, and massive city gates. They can be connected into a spectacular panoramic display over one meter long or arranged in a circular layout. This is LEGO that looks like an art piece and fits seamlessly into an adult man’s space.
But the real fun is in the interactivity. Zipline, working crane, tea cart, destructible wall, secret hideouts, and Chuck the carpenter’s workshop — everything is designed to keep your hands busy and your mind relaxed. This is one of those rare sets that become at once stress relief, meditation, and nostalgia.
LEGO NINJAGO The Old Town will be available starting January 1, 2026, priced at $299.99. And yes — this is exactly the kind of set you buy “for the collection” and then build until three in the morning thinking: “Damn, this is unbelievably well made.”
