LEGO NINJAGO Dragons Rising welcomes longtime fans with new set
LEGO NINJAGO Dragons Rising is a new series in a new, merged world, but longtime enthusiasts can catch up quickly with one new set.
LEGO NINJAGO has been running for over a decade and it’s safe to say that there are some members of the community with at least one Destiny’s bounty, dragon, mech, temple and minifigures of the main cast.
However, the upcoming selection of sets includes three new characters that you might want to get your hands on. Arin, Sora and Baby Riyu are scattered throughout the new sets, but all three only appear in two models.
| Set name | Price | Arin | Sora | Baby Riyu |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 71792 Sora’s Transforming Mech Bike Racer | £42.99 / $47.99 / €47.99 | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| 71794 Lloyd and Arin’s Ninja Team Mechs | £74.99 / $79.99 / €84.99 | Yes | No | No |
| 71796 Elemental Dragon vs. The Empress Mech | £94.99 / $129.99 / €104.99 | No | Yes | Yes |
| 71797 Destiny’s Bounty – race against time | £129.99 / $159.99 / €149.99 | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| 71798 Nya and Arin’s Baby Dragon Battle | £26.99 / $34.99 / €31.99 | Yes | No | Yes |
| 71799 NINJAGO City Markets | £319.99 / $369.99 / €369.99 | Yes | Yes | No |
From these results, it’s clear to see that 71792 Sora’s Transforming Mech Bike Racer is the most efficient way of picking up the three new characters at 71792 Sora’s Transforming Mech Bike Racer. Otherwise, a combination of multiple models or 71797 Destiny’s Bounty – race against time is your best bet. Considering that 71792 Sora’s Transforming Mech Bike Racer depicts a new vehicle, it may be the more enticing option for those who have been with the theme for a while.
Given that Sora and Arin are described as Lloyd’s new students, they seem likely to stick around for a while and Baby Riyu uses a specialised piece too.
All 14 new LEGO NINJAGO sets launch on June 1, 2023, with the animated NINJAGO Dragons Rising series releasing from June 1, 2023, around the world too.

- 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.
