11:11 the Wolverine claw in green was used for a bush on a little island behind the Ninjago city gardens. Edit: Steeper Wisdom was the name of the tea shop in the Wu’s Teas shorts Edit 2: the torso and legs for Kai are Ed’s from the Ninjago movie. Edit 3: I’m pretty sure that the cable car is a reference to the opening of season 8 Edit 4: Yes, I’m going to keep editing whenever I realize something. Try to stop me 😈😈😈 Edit 5: 1 year later, wow. The bedroom above the bakery is Jay’s room. Don’t assume that I’m saying that because of the blue design, I’m saying it because of the skates. In season 4, he said that he used to do roller derbies with his mom.
31:34 That´s Tony, Milton Dyer´s friend. He was seen in the episode "Ninjago Confidential" when Zane and Pixal were looking for clues to find Dyer. 35:44 Lloyd worked for that company after Nya merged with the ocean. You can see their logo on his hat in the first episode of Crystalized. 36:40 That is a reference to the episode "Snaketastrophy". Gayle Gossip is forced to cover news of puppy petting day at the Fur Mart (the show called it Fur Mart so I guess they forgot the name) Hope this helps :)
That's exactly the coverage of this set, that I hoped to see, a comprehensive, in-depth and informed look at every detail! Greatly appreciate, that you took the time to showcase all the spaces, especially the small and hard to get to ones! Thank you for your effort and dedication, you really delivered one heck of a review!
Something that stood out to me is that this set feels really reminiscent to the 2015-2017 WilFilm era of the show. The markets themselves really remind me of Stiix, and the very specific color scheme has that particular color pallet that was between the original Ninjago run (2011-13) and the very dark Oni Trilogy color pallet. It evokes a very nostalgic feel all around with its design from the Borg store to the several stores, it just makes me happy to look at it. It also makes me quite happy to have another full on Dareth minifig after 8 freaking years, the legend needed to return in a big way, and so he did with a gigantic karaoke club like in the show!
17:09 seems to be a reference to Wojira. Remember, she was here before the realm of ninjago was created by the FSM As for 18:26 it's a reference to the ninjago movie because when the ninjas and Garmadon went for the ultimate ultimate weapon, their vehicle crashed because of a goat who was in the middle of the road And finally 22:30 seems to be a reference to season 7 because of the fact dragon wings were on a clock and remember in that season Kai and Nya had a fusion dragon
@@Nabnab_TheTwistedOne Maybe it's a reference to the Lego Ninjago Movie. But I do think that the missing goat is a Lego kingdoms reference due to the fact that's it have been missing for 12 years because the mold of the piece was destroyed
The poster with Jay's mech and the word REBUILD could be a reference to Evangelion. Neon Genesis Evangelion is an anime with "mechs" that look very similiar to Jay's, and "Rebuild of Evangelion" is the title of the reboot movies Also theres definitely another joke there with Lego - building...
31:31 I think the name Tom is supposed to stand for Tommy Anderson, as a nice nod for making ninjago what it is today. We wouldn’t be here rn if it wasn’t for Tommy, so that’s what I think the word Tom means there
31:38 Tom was the guy in the Prime Empire Episode “Ninjago Confidential” who told Pix & Zane where Milton Dyer was hiding as after they went to find him!
4:50 You really could be on to something with “The Cookie Crumbles” line as the way her stance is in the photo closely resembles the portrait Jay had of her in Crystallized at the lighthouse even though in that picture she was wearing a pink kimono and it had a blue background, still they look pretty similar!
I believe the snowberry pie reference is from the first few episodes of dragons rising, where Arin sells snowberry pies to make money for parts, he also bribes that frog dude with one to get into the mech race lol
The minifigures are amazing and their are some of them that we have been waiting for for a very long time I also love how they made the open area of the markets very realistic and not cramped with stuff because that wouldn't feel very realistic I also like the usage of parts which is what these type of sets are used for All together this is an amazing set that if you can you should get ❤
The sign that says CB&B pet food is almost certainly a refrence to Creatures Beasts & Beyond, which is where Cole ordered the liver and toads for Rocky from in season 1 episode 2. Edit: nvm just saw you figured it out 😅
@@BricksByMind tell the lego Ambassador Network to give me this set and the other ninjago Dragons rising sets for free and they are not ALLOWED to say no because no is not an option
23:27 I’m really disappointed by this. In the set images on Lego’s website they must have removed that whole wall because they showed that room has like 6 studs of interior space, not 2. So, this is a great set but there’s definitely some stuff I need to customize. Make this room bigger, give Gayle Gossip the accurate hair piece from the Series 8 Fairy CMF figure, and give Racer 7 as accurate as of a torso & legs as I can find.
11:15 That piece already appears in that same color (looks like dark green) in 2 sets including Ninjago City Gardens. Unless this one is bright green but compared to the other pieces doesnt look like it, maybe its just green
I can’t wait to get this set! Such a long but great review though. 46:00 Yeah I wish we got the exact hairpiece Sora has, which is why I repainted Nya’s headband hair piece to pink and headband to dark blue.
Having that Starfarer poster makes me REALLY Hope Jay will get his inheritance soon, maybe the show will reference Cliff Gordon's anniversary of his death or when the first Starfarer came out? Pre season 8 Ninjago City didn't have a zoo, but maybe after the Merge they get one? I flippin love we got Detective Zane, that was the biggest shock. I wonder if they're still working on the hair mold for Sora and we'll get it in the next wave of Dragon's rising sets? Chamille looks like she works at a hair salon, but it's probably just a front for her thieving "business". Wonderful review!
I absolutely love the set, but I only have $60 so I’m having to try and work to get one that is used 😭😭😭great review though❤I wish it also came with a Jay and Cole just for the fun of it
4:45 I'm pretty sure that picture of Nya appeared in the first and second episodes of Crystalized from the lighthouse, but for some reason the pink got inverted to red, great video all around!
37:01 I think that's also supposed to be like a music disc. The golden ski staff piece is supposed to be the needle on the disc that actually makes the music play.
Im pretty sure there are 2 ninja 2011 cards, one in Ninja Dojo Temple and another in a day of the departed set. Dojo temple is Wu, and the day of the departed is cole. (I own both of them)
The pie is the same as the one seen in Dragons Rising The person in the photo in Laughys Karaoke club is tony, Milton Dyers friend Detective Zane is awesome, however leg printing would have been awesome. Blacksmith Kai should be made accurately there should be a blacksmith set Casual Arin and Sora should have been actually different. Houndog Mcbrag is fine, the commissioner would have been better Cyrus Borg is awesome! He should be in more sets Bartender Dareth is awesome Racer 7 should have been made properly. I am a fan of her original name more than her crystalized name Gayle Gossip and Vinny are awesome, there should be a NGTV helicopter set Borg Store employees should be in more sets The next Ninjago city sets should have bigger buildings lilke Laughys Karaoke Club, or there should just be a Borg Tower set. This set is awesome
Another great addition to the Ninjago city line! Fantastic minifigure selection and great detailing throughout the set. I have to say though that the bottom part of the set is too open for my taste. All the Ninjago city sets are bright and colorful display pieces, but the amount of open walkways in this set adds too much grey to the set. Most of the other ninjago city sets correct this by adding waterways and foliage, but this one doesn't. I dont think its a major issue because that space can primarily be used to place minifigs, but I'm still planning on modifiying the set by adding some plant life or path texturing to really let the base of the set pop. Cant wait to add this expansion to my city when it releases!!!
Maybe to make the urban figures better they could have included a hoody piece in flame yellow for arin and soras top mask piece so you at least get some cat ears
I tried to avoid as much spoilers as possible to make the surprise effect even better, just finished building it today and its the best lego set i've ever seen and had. The references and the minifigs are so cool
So EXCITED for this set! And I LOVE the flushing toilet lol. I hope Lego continues to make many more expansions! It's my FAVORITE theme along side Monkey Kid.
Tom is Milton Dyer's friend from s12. He works at Laughy's and we also see him in s12 (the ep where we see Detective Zane), and the pic of Dareth and the other guy is Tom.
Im Pretty sure Ronin Might be the one who's Running the "Steeper Wisdom" since He did Buy the shop off of Wu. Also If they had made Kai's Legs use the same color from the show, even if the torso isn't fully accurate, it would still be a better version with just a simple color swap.

Dragon hunter hound or heatwave dragon
Zane race car or the dragon hound please
Keetongu I mean The Team Mechs
the fact that my dad is paraplegic and that this set is all weel chair accessible is insane to me
The imperium hunter hound
Dragons do eat frogs, remember in Season 1 Episode 2: Home when Cole Ordered liver and toads for Rocky
Beat me to it
@@riolugaming5017 great minds think alike as they say
I was gonna say that
Toads aren't frogs
@@tramthun2474 Yeah, it was a toad.
11:11 the Wolverine claw in green was used for a bush on a little island behind the Ninjago city gardens.
Edit: Steeper Wisdom was the name of the tea shop in the Wu’s Teas shorts
Edit 2: the torso and legs for Kai are Ed’s from the Ninjago movie.
Edit 3: I’m pretty sure that the cable car is a reference to the opening of season 8
Edit 4: Yes, I’m going to keep editing whenever I realize something. Try to stop me 😈😈😈

🤣🤣
Kais torso and legs are just a generic apron torso and legs, Ed’s torso and legs had tools for fixing things.

Honestly when I saw the red dog it reminded me of Clifford the big red dog lol
Bro pays attention

Thank you for your effort and dedication, you really delivered one heck of a review!
51:43 i love how they gave him the black glove , it's perfect
Yes, NCG stands for ninjago city gardens. There was an arrow print pointing down which leads you to the gardens
Weirdly the pathway doesn't lead to NCG, because it can only be accessed through the path in the front
No idea why but seeing borg standing up is the most cursed thing ever to me
Probably because its not normal
True why
snowberry pie is a refference to dragons rising, its the pie arin gives to the frog person in the trailer
Something that stood out to me is that this set feels really reminiscent to the 2015-2017 WilFilm era of the show.

7:39 that snow Berry pie is a ninjago dragons rising reference cause arins speciality dish is that
The portrait is the one Jay painted during his time in the lighthouse of darkness after seaboud
That cleaning company sing is the same window cleaning company that Lloyd worked for in the beginning of Crystalized
17:09 seems to be a reference to Wojira. Remember, she was here before the realm of ninjago was created by the FSM
As for 18:26 it's a reference to the ninjago movie because when the ninjas and Garmadon went for the ultimate ultimate weapon, their vehicle crashed because of a goat who was in the middle of the road
And finally 22:30 seems to be a reference to season 7 because of the fact dragon wings were on a clock and remember in that season Kai and Nya had a fusion dragon
The goat is not a reference to ninjago. But rather a Lego reference due to it rarity because it only came in a 2011 Kingdoms set.
@@SimplyJustAnAccount ok but it also feels like a reference to the movie as well so maybe it's a reference for both
@@Nabnab_TheTwistedOne Maybe it's a reference to the Lego Ninjago Movie. But I do think that the missing goat is a Lego kingdoms reference due to the fact that's it have been missing for 12 years because the mold of the piece was destroyed
The poster with Jay's mech and the word REBUILD could be a reference to Evangelion.
Neon Genesis Evangelion is an anime with "mechs" that look very similiar to Jay's, and "Rebuild of Evangelion" is the title of the reboot movies
Also theres definitely another joke there with Lego - building...
31:38 that’s milton dyers childhood friend
31:31 I think the name Tom is supposed to stand for Tommy Anderson, as a nice nod for making ninjago what it is today. We wouldn’t be here rn if it wasn’t for Tommy, so that’s what I think the word Tom means there

Kinda looks like Mona Lisa
@@StevieZii Yes that too!
I believe the snowberry pie reference is from the first few episodes of dragons rising, where Arin sells snowberry pies to make money for parts, he also bribes that frog dude with one to get into the mech race lol
The slide out rooms is genius!
Fun fact!, Kai's apartment is refferencing, well, Kai's apartment from the quest for the lost powers book!
36:38 the dog reminds you of Clifford the big red dog
The minifigures are amazing and their are some of them that we have been waiting for for a very long time
I also love how they made the open area of the markets very realistic and not cramped with stuff because that wouldn't feel very realistic
I also like the usage of parts which is what these type of sets are used for
All together this is an amazing set that if you can you should get ❤
31:33 I’m pretty sure that’s the person pixal meets when looking for Milton dyre in the detective episode of prime empire
6:52 master of the mountain wu on vania's dragon set...27:15 dude. Thats a shrine
The review we've all been waiting for! Thank you for covering the entirety of the Ninjago City Markets Mind
36:43 The dog is from s11 episode 8 Snaketastrophy 2:00 minute
7:20 that was a reference to the new episodes, when arin brings his pie to the contest, its a snow berry pie from the never realm
The sign that says CB&B pet food is almost certainly a refrence to Creatures Beasts & Beyond, which is where Cole ordered the liver and toads for Rocky from in season 1 episode 2.
Edit: nvm just saw you figured it out 😅
Yup! I realized that later in the video
@@BricksByMind tell the lego Ambassador Network to give me this set and the other ninjago Dragons rising sets for free and they are not ALLOWED to say no because no is not an option

Make this room bigger, give Gayle Gossip the accurate hair piece from the Series 8 Fairy CMF figure, and give Racer 7 as accurate as of a torso & legs as I can find.
The original hair piece was retired a few years ago sadly.
7:29 the snowberry pie is the pie Arin makes in the show for the pie contest
The fact that mind can read ninjargin is pretty cool
The guy with Dareth is the friend of Milton dyer who helped the ninja in season 12
imo we need casual harumi, dr julien, commissioner and teen garmadon and also the new ninja would be dope
I NEED a teal ninja Minifigure!
We got green wolverine claws back in the Ninjago City Gardens as the leaves of a small tree
Tom was the friend from Milton Dyer in Season 12: Prime Empire!!
The picture of Dareth and the guy is a reference to prime empire whilst the guy is Milton dyers old friend
31:41 the guy on the right is the bartender who was working when zane and pixel fought those gang members in prime empire
and its mitons dire friend
36:32 To me it looks like Baby Clifford for some reason!? 😆
11:15 That piece already appears in that same color (looks like dark green) in 2 sets including Ninjago City Gardens. Unless this one is bright green but compared to the other pieces doesnt look like it, maybe its just green
20:15 Wheelchair ramp followed immediately by a small step. Unfortunately realistic.
The red dog is probably a refrence to the courage the red dog cartoon
Lloyd’s all new face print kinda just feels like the island face but without the marks
Tom might be a reference to Tommy Andreasen, with his departure from the show the set designers mightve wanted to throw in a little reference for him
31:37 - I think that is (I forgot his name, but he made prime empire)’s friend!
I can’t wait to get this set! Such a long but great review though.
46:00 Yeah I wish we got the exact hairpiece Sora has, which is why I repainted Nya’s headband hair piece to pink and headband to dark blue.
At 9:01 i think NCG might stand for Ninjago City Gardens so the alleyway is probably is leading to Ninjago City Gardens.
30:00 maybe its ninjago's got talent because of the star idk
This set is awesome specifically the Cable Car
Arin and Sora's apartment is a letdown. Especially since they're supposed to have a penthouse
I'm pretty sure this is a pre-merge/non-canon apartment, since all Ninjago City sets since the movie are in the movie style
Steeper Wisdom is also the name of Wu’s tea shop in Wu’s Teas
Having that Starfarer poster makes me REALLY Hope Jay will get his inheritance soon, maybe the show will reference Cliff Gordon's anniversary of his death or when the first Starfarer came out? Pre season 8 Ninjago City didn't have a zoo, but maybe after the Merge they get one? I flippin love we got Detective Zane, that was the biggest shock.

Chamille looks like she works at a hair salon, but it's probably just a front for her thieving "business". Wonderful review!
snow berry pie is from dragons rising and thats what arin bakes in the crosslands carnival
I think Chamille's store is supposed to be a makeup store, which fits given her ability to change her appearance
there are so many great figures in this set!
I absolutely love the set, but I only have $60 so I’m having to try and work to get one that is used 😭😭😭great review though❤I wish it also came with a Jay and Cole just for the fun of it
The lime katana was used in lego overwatch for genji
I absolutely adore this set. Easily my favourite Ninjago modular
The hair piece that sora has is the same hair she had when she was young in the show
4:45 I'm pretty sure that picture of Nya appeared in the first and second episodes of Crystalized from the lighthouse, but for some reason the pink got inverted to red, great video all around!
37:01 I think that's also supposed to be like a music disc. The golden ski staff piece is supposed to be the needle on the disc that actually makes the music play.
56:41 My set also came with a extra of the baker hair piece
The “it’s just how the cookie crumbles” actually originates from cole
Seems like the Jays Titan Mech Poster might be mentioning a Mech somehow, its says rebuilt so maybe its the Electromech but an upgraded version of it
Im pretty sure there are 2 ninja 2011 cards, one in Ninja Dojo Temple and another in a day of the departed set. Dojo temple is Wu, and the day of the departed is cole. (I own both of them)
The wolverine claws were also in the gardens
Really want to get this set
The pie is the same as the one seen in Dragons Rising
The person in the photo in Laughys Karaoke club is tony, Milton Dyers friend
Detective Zane is awesome, however leg printing would have been awesome.
Blacksmith Kai should be made accurately there should be a blacksmith set
Casual Arin and Sora should have been actually different.
Houndog Mcbrag is fine, the commissioner would have been better
Cyrus Borg is awesome! He should be in more sets
Bartender Dareth is awesome
Racer 7 should have been made properly. I am a fan of her original name more than her crystalized name
Gayle Gossip and Vinny are awesome, there should be a NGTV helicopter set
Borg Store employees should be in more sets
The next Ninjago city sets should have bigger buildings lilke Laughys Karaoke Club, or there should just be a Borg Tower set.
This set is awesome
I also got a double of that chef hat
7:25 i wonder if the snow berry pie is for Zane cuz snow and then he made all those berry pies in s1 lol
Mind: i wonder who is running the tea stand Me: IF ONLY THEY INCLUDED A TEA VENDOR
4:15 it looks like the painting Jay had in crystallized when he was in the light house going crazy
steeper wisdon existed in the show owned by wu in the wu tea short episodes (cant remember the name)
we need Fugi-dove😭
Agreed
Yes! His cry fills the night!
Good that you could do this to quick
The picture of nya is the same picture jay was drawing at the start of crystallised
Wasn't Tom the other bar tender from Prime Empire - Milton Dyer's friend
Another great addition to the Ninjago city line! Fantastic minifigure selection and great detailing throughout the set. I have to say though that the bottom part of the set is too open for my taste.

Is it just me or the sushimi chef’s face looks even more like Vinny than Vinny’s face
The green washing ad is a reference to when Lloyd was washing windows in the start of crystalised
Meme came with two hair with hat peices for the baker too
Yeah same its prolly a mistake with the bag filler machine
@@bobdabuildar69yeah bit it's a cool peice so I'm not complaining
@@jonahkey5269 yeah ikr. Did u also get a second spare of the red whip piece from Ms Demeanor?
@@bobdabuildar69 yeah
“How is he or in fact anyone supposed to get up there” I have an idea, they become NINJA 😂😂😂
4:28 I think that might be a reference to the painting that Jay painted in Crystalized eps2
Maybe to make the urban figures better they could have included a hoody piece in flame yellow for arin and soras top mask piece so you at least get some cat ears
The bubble cleaning service is where lloyd worked in crystalized
I tried to avoid as much spoilers as possible to make the surprise effect even better, just finished building it today and its the best lego set i've ever seen and had. The references and the minifigs are so cool
36:30 its clifford the big red dog totally 😂
Yes!! Thank you!! First one to review this great job
The guy in the picture at laughy’s is Milton Dyer’s friend Tony from prime empire
I cannot describe how happy I am! Thank you so much
So EXCITED for this set! And I LOVE the flushing toilet lol. I hope Lego continues to make many more expansions! It's my FAVORITE theme along side Monkey Kid.
Can you do next review on Zane's Sport Car: Drifting Spinjitzu?
pretty sure ‘steeper wisdom’ is a throwback to the wu’s teas shorts, when master wu & the ninja opened up a tea shop by the same name.
Spoiler for dragons rising episode one❗️❗️❗️❗️the snowberry pie was given to the frog man from arin in the scene where they pay him with the pie 7:14
Nice! Set looks awesome.
Tom is Milton Dyer's friend from s12. He works at Laughy's and we also see him in s12 (the ep where we see Detective Zane), and the pic of Dareth and the other guy is Tom.
31:37, that picture kinda looks like young Milton Dyer next to Dareth, but then how old is Dareth?
Steeper Wisdom was from Wu's Tea
Im Pretty sure Ronin Might be the one who's Running the "Steeper Wisdom" since He did Buy the shop off of Wu.
Also If they had made Kai's Legs use the same color from the show, even if the torso isn't fully accurate, it would still be a better version with just a simple color swap.
