Spinners

Spinners are apparatuses that a player uses while playing the Ninjago: Spinjitzu Spinners game. Almost every character in Ninjago has a spinner that can be collected. The spinners come with three to five LEGO bricks.

These bricks are used to lock the spinner in practice, elevate the spinner, and give protection for your character during battle. The bricks included include two 1x2 bricks, a 2x2 plate, and occasionally two snaps used for attaching weapons directly to the spinner. All spinner sets come with Character Cards and Battle Cards. You can spin longer if you put a 2x2 with a rounded bottom on the bottom side of the spinner, which allows total balance to the spinner.

Trivia

 * Although the Skulkin and Serpentine aren't able to do Spinjitzu, they have spinners (with the exception of Samukai, Snike, and the Serpentine Generals).
 * The minifigures and weapons in the spinner sets were made from cheap plastic rather than ABS in the 2011 product wave.
 * There are currently 33 different spinners existing in the Ninjago toy line.
 * Inside of each spinner is a metal "crown", presumably to help balance it.
 * In the 2012 waves the spinners were totally remodeled, with additions to underneath it for additional weaponry and each spinner came with a "crown" for usage. These crowns paved the way for crown Cards
 * There have been no new spinners since 2012.
