User blog:G Frost-Ogaji/2019 Update

Hey! It's been a while.

I probably should have noted in my last update that I'm not going to do many of these... only when there's a lot to talk about. It's been a bit of time since SDCC and there's been a little goin on since then.

First of all (and this is kinda small) Tommy Andreason recently (like yesterday) Tweeted a link to the full San Diego Comic Con Ninjago panel event. In it, I saw what I expected. I already read the live Tweets from the day so there was nothing new to discuss, until I rewatched it. A fan asked Tommy what the name of the new four episode special will be and he said he can't reveal that because Hunted hasn't aired entirely yet.

. ..

Huh??? That's a huge reveal! I asked him on Twitter to confirm this and it's true! This makes me think: what on earth can it be?? Don't come at me with that "Rise of the Oni" bull, cause that just isn't happening. But seriouly what could the title be that is spoils the last season??? I honestly don't have a clue. All I know is it has to be something cool....

Next on the agenda is sets. Those are happening and I'm excited! A while ago, there was one set leak and that was the the Ice Fortress being made into a set. Along with it came a little blurb about how the pilots and season 1 are being remade. Now we have a whole set list and it seems like every single one of them has to do with throwbacks (from the pilots to season 2.) If you aren't aware, the sets are as follows (and this is taken right from this Wiki:)

Spinners Sets This means that the Ice Fortress set is totally plausable, and the leak that came a few months ago might not be too far off. With these leaks, we found out that they are supposedly remakes of the old sets, but I don't think that's the case. They wouldn't release the new special and sets at the same time that are unrelated to it. That means that the special probably has some sort of "throwback" theme. This means that the sets aren't remakes (like with remade figs and stuff) but reimaginings, meaning there won't be skeletons and snakes and stone warriors fighting the ninja.
 * 70659 Spinjitzu Kai
 * 70660 Spinjitzu Jay
 * 70661 Spinjitzu Zane
 * 70662 Spinjitzu Cole
 * 70663 Spinjitzu Wu
 * 70664 Spinjitzu Lloyd vs Garmadon
 * 70665 Samurai Mech
 * 70666 The Golden Dragon
 * 70667 Kai's Blade Cycle & Zane's Icemobile
 * 70668 Jay's Storm Fighter
 * 70669 Cole's Earth Driller
 * 70670 Monastery of Spinjitzu
 * 70679 The Ultra Dragon
 * 70680 Fire Temple

Also if you read the set list again, you'll notice that none of the sets have anything to do with the villains of the seasons they originally came from. Also they don't seem to be remakes because the names differ from the originals they came in. Fore example, the Ultra Dragon was never in a set on it's own, it came in the Epic Dragon Battle. With the name exluding the Great Devourer, we can only assume he's absent from the set too.

Soooooooo with this I'm hoping that we get new ninja suits that are remeniscent of the Zukin or Honor suits that look like the originals.

Anyway I think that's it for now. I'm very excited about the name being revealed and the sets being leaked... I'm also dying to see what the Ninja's new suits look like!!

Tell me what you think about the sets being leaked, and maybe you're prediction of what the special will be called!
