LEGO has numerous third-party partnerships that are wildly popular, including brands like Star Wars, Nintendo, and Harry Potter. However, LEGO's homegrown, original themes can be a bit more hit-or-miss.
Do you remember LEGO Hidden Side? It was a hybrid theme that incorporated digital poltergeists via augmented reality. If you don't, that's understandable; it only lasted two years before LEGO shut down the app's servers and discontinued the line. Hopefully, the LEGO Dreamzzz line (see at Amazon), the company's most recently introduced original brand, can avoid a similar fate. While Dreamzzz is visually interesting and creative, making it commercially viable and widely recognized by the public is a different challenge altogether.
In contrast, the LEGO Ninjago brand doesn't face these issues. A unique blend of martial arts tropes and LEGO's signature meta-humor, Ninjago has thrived for nearly 15 years. It boasts two successful TV shows, a movie, video games, theme park rides, and over 500 LEGO sets.
Here are the best LEGO Ninjago sets you can purchase in 2025.
