LEGO's success with licensed themes like Star Wars and Harry Potter is undeniable. However, their original creations often have a more unpredictable track record. Remember LEGO Hidden Side, the AR-enhanced ghost-hunting theme? Its short lifespan highlights the challenges of creating commercially successful original IPs. LEGO Dreamzzz, their latest original theme, aims to avoid this fate, but success isn't guaranteed. Visual appeal is only part of the equation; widespread market acceptance is crucial.

One LEGO theme that consistently defies this challenge is Ninjago. Blending martial arts and LEGO's signature humor, Ninjago has thrived for nearly 15 years, boasting two successful TV shows, a movie, video games, theme park attractions, and over 500 sets.

Here are some of the best LEGO Ninjago sets available in 2025:
