About Lego Ninjago

Lego Ninjago (stylized as NINJAGO) Masters of Spinjitzu is a current line of sets produced by Lego. It uses elements from the previous Ninja Series. There are several changes from the previous series. These include the removal of the Shogun and Bandits, and the introduction of the Skeleton Army. Also noticeable is the inclusion of vehicles which imply a more modern setting than the feudal Japan setting of the previous incarnation.

 

Story Line:      

Long before time had a name, Ninjago was created by the first Spinjitzu Master using the four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu; the Scythe of Quakes, the Nunchucks of Lightning, the Shurikens of Ice and the Dragon Sword of Fire. Weapons so powerful, no one could possess them all at once. For decades, Ninjago was balanced with good and evil, and peace was maintained under the watchful eyes of the master. When he passed away, his two sons swore to protect the weapons, but the eldest was consumed by darkness and wanted to possess the weapons for his own nefarious purposes. A battle between brothers broke out, and the eldest was struck down into the Underworld. Peace returned, and the younger brother hid the four weapons, but knowing his brothers relentless ambition, he placed a guardian that would protect the weapons. And, in fear of his own demise, he created a map for a poor blacksmith, which was hidden with care. The older brother is Lord Garmadon, the younger brother Sensei Wu, and the blacksmith the father of the main character, Kai. Now Garmadon has taken command of the undead legions of the Underworld and is searching the land of Ninjago for the four Golden Weapons to exact his revenge on his brother, Wu. Now Sensei wu has gathered four brave ninja; Kai, Master of Fire; Cole, Master of Earth; Zane, Master of Ice, and Jay, Master of Lightning. Together, they must train to defeat their skeletal foes and find the golden weapons, and eventually defeat Lord Garmadon.
