Best LEGO Ninjago Sets
Ninjago started as a kids' action theme and quietly grew one of the best building traditions in all of LEGO® sets: the Ninjago City series. City Gardens, City Markets, and City Workshops are layered, dense, wildly detailed builds that adult fans rank with the best sets ever made, whatever the box's age recommendation says.
The list below ranks every Ninjago set we track, reviewed sets first by score. The City builds dominate the top of the ratings too, and they connect to each other to form one long street if you collect more than one. Further down you'll find the temples, mechs, and dragons from the show, which are better toys and much easier on the wallet.
