Every LEGO NINJAGO City set from 2017 to 2025 combined

LEGO NINJAGO City now boasts five sets over seven baseplates, making up one of the biggest and most impressive collections around when combined. Here’s how they all look together…

With the release of 71837 NINJAGO City Workshops at the start of March 2025, the ongoing NINJAGO City collection gained its fifth entry. It adds to 2017’s 70620 NINJAGO City, 2018’s 70657 NINJAGO City Docks, 2021’s 71741 NINJAGO City Gardens and 2023’s 71799 NINJAGO City Markets. With one entry every two years, NINJAGO City is on course to grow again in 2027, but for now, the collection is the biggest and most complete it has ever been.

After nearly a decade of NINJAGO City sets, we’ve combined every entry to demonstrate why this is one of the most appealing and awe-inspiring LEGO collections ever conceived.

Before 71837 NINJAGO City Workshops, fitting every set in the range together was challenging. The additional balcony and temple sections in 71741 NINJAGO City Gardens present an unfortunate gap that inevitably leaves some open walkways awkwardly scattered across the city.

71837 NINJAGO City Workshops fixes this and allows you to create a natural break in the city display by putting the mech next to the temple. Floral plants in the waters of 71837 NINJAGO City Workshops suggest that this is exactly what the LEGO designers had in mind.

This also serves to create three distinct sections of the city, split by breaks in the upper walkway. The original LEGO NINJAGO City district on the left is headlined by the original set, with a focus on the old world’s unique features blended with the changing cityscape above.

In the middle of NINJAGO City, 71799 NINJAGO City Markets creates a shopping district with the cable car at the centre of the city, giving minifigures plenty of activities to enjoy while spending their days in the colourful cityscape, leading to the most industrial area of the city with a mech under construction.

The mech sits next to the last section, placing 71741 NINJAGO City Gardens alone with the most greenery of anywhere in the city. It represents a district with entirely different regulations, encouraging natural features to weave in and out of the architecture. Tourists should be naturally drawn to this area of the city with its museum, unique scenery and iconic eateries.

This is just one way to lay out the seven sets, and the stories that the layouts can inspire are on par with that of the Modular Buildings Collection.

Flying through all five sets over the seven baseplates confirms that the NINJAGO designers’ efforts have been worthwhile, combining to create a colourful, futuristic and distinctly NINJAGO display for fans of all ages to appreciate. Finding a space to showcase them all together is the only downside to this collection, but not an impossible task with the right budget. (And you’re going to need the right budget to collect them all in the first place…)

Both 71837 NINJAGO City Workshops and the larger 71799 NINJAGO City Markets are available now to catch up on the collection, but every other NINJAGO City set is now retired. Take a closer look at the three most recent sets in our reviews below.

LEGO has been a part of my life ever since I was young. It all started when my brother passed down 7657 AT-ST to me. It’s guided me through my early years, through school and eventually through my degree in journalism. I still have all my collection proudly on display, including my many NINJAGO sets, my favourite of all the LEGO Group’s themes. Outside of Brick Fanatics I am an avid gamer and enjoy a good game of Dungeons & Dragons.
