The Ninjago Magazine has been running in several European countries since 2015, China since 2016, Latin American countries since 2017, Australia since 2018, and Canada for an unknown amount of time. They are produced by the German company Blue Ocean. Each magazine features activities, a comic, facts on sets/characters, a double-sided poster, and a LEGO toy (usually a minifigure, but sometimes a standalone build). It has since received multiple sub-lines with different formats and drawing from different aspects of the Ninjago franchise.

Trivia[]
- The comics from the first 16 issues were included in instalments of the Little, Brown Ninjago graphic novel series.
- The magazine presents many minifigures for some characters although they do not have, this is the case of Kataru, the Upply, Cecil Putnam, Nyad, Ulysses Trustable, Bonzle, Khanjikhan, Trimaar, Gripe, Mr. Frohicky, Hailmar, Antonia and more.
- Many of these renders are also seen in the LEGO Ninjago Trading Card Game.
- Despite taking place during Season 6, the comic from issue 15 serves to promote 70596 Samurai X Cave Chaos, a Day of the Departed set.
- In issue 25 features Ronin trying to do Spinjitzu and succeeding.
- In issue 40, Ash is shown as a part of Season 9 resistance and issue 43 features Gravis and Bolobo being there. Both comics are considered non-canon.
- In issue 45, Iron Baron it stated to survive being encased in lava by Firstbourne and being rescued by loyal Dragon Hunters, but this is also considered non-canon.
- In issue 59, the Mechanic is shown having two robo-arms instead of one.
- In issue 60, some people have a costume of Batman.
- In issue 68, a comic features a younger version of Lilly.
- In issue 74, Twitchy Tim in minifigure form has Doc Browns hair instead of his Joker hair from the show.
- The comic from issue 98 has two editions: in the first one, Garmadons Oni Form is incorrectly depicted as the Crystal King with wings and a different colored headpiece. The second one, released later in Ninjago Comic magazine, has more show-accurate version.
- In issue 126, five rock bands are featured, and all of their names are references to the real-life rock bands.
- When asked about the comics in the magazines, Tommy Andreasen said, "I don’t know those stories, but the intention is definitely that they should work with the TV show canon, add to it and not contradict."[2] When Tommy Kalmar was asked if the magazines were canon, he responded, "As rule of thumb, yes, but there may be instances where the Magazine lends itself to other fresh opp[o]rtunities."[3]
- Chris "Doc" Wyatt has also stated that any official Ninjago material that doesnt contradict the show are meant to be canon[4]. This should extend to the magazines as well
- Mother Earth is considered canon[5] despite its major timeline errors.
- Sometimes the Ninjago Magazine incorrectly refer the The Island as the fourteenth season, Seabound as the fifteenth season, Crystalized as the sixteenth season and the first season of Dragons Rising as the seventeenth season of the original series.
- Chris "Doc" Wyatt has jokingly said "If I ever meet the editor we will have a conversation." when asked about the use of the different numbering.[6]
- English-speaking Canada receives the same versions as those released in the UK and Australia, although months after the original UK release date. French-speaking Canada receives the same versions as those released in Belgium, France, and Switzerland.
- Since the magazines dont have the Canadian price printed on the front cover, a price sticker is often stuck over it.
- The Czech version of the magazine is also distributed to Slovakia.
- Different countries can sometimes have different release orders for the magazines, or simply leave out entire issues altogether.
- In some countries, additional gifts are included in addition to the minifigure, including packs of Ninjago trading cards, sticker sheets or an extra minifigure from one of the previous issues.
