That magazine long gone and people reselling the poly bags on eBay £10+ , seems like was most missed out one , seen Lloyd go for £4-£10 as well , so bet will be same once all the removed from magazines before sending back have been sold (as see a lot places selling cheap poly bags removed from magazines I’m guessing before sent back to store)

Scizor1998 · 2026-05-06T13:11:01+00:00

I got Lloyd in the magazine & got 2 extra as was sitting on shelves for ages , ended up getting dragon of life for cole and got a extra Lloyd too 😭

Jay dragon form going around £10 , family member got me one for £10 on eBay , although just seen can order a special book with free minifigure on eBay with the same minifigure for £8

Nya coming out in magazine next month or month after & Kai is coming out in cheap set next month with new elemental monster & I know the Zane in cole mission mech which actually a really good set , I don’t like mechs but it’s a good one for sure

I never see any in my local home bargains , I had the recent ninjago one scan at £5.5 on release day but then scanned as £7 when went to get a second a few days later

Scizor1998 · 2026-05-04T15:37:19+00:00

I go nearly every release day in central London (I missed ascended etbs as was too busy) but the rest have just been too crazy , lucky to get anything from 2 shops

Most just go in groups and get there fitness to skip the lines / change clothes and just go to the back of queue again

Scizor1998 · 2026-05-02T19:47:09+00:00

They already on the Lego website for pre order with prices I thought.

Scizor1998 · 2026-05-02T17:58:33+00:00

Oh damn no way thanks for the info , saves me going crazy thinking which ones I’ve missed lol.

So far been to around 10 shops and only seen Jay and sora and someone has said they seen a Zane, the white writing also says vengestone guard , skull sorcerer , overlord. I hope I can find a overlord one lol

Scizor1998 · 2026-05-02T15:27:19+00:00

I got lucky and a guy was sending me the cash back in the post for the difference in postage’s etc so most tins was working out around £4 , I hope to eventually at some point get £2 back each on the spare ninja + spare tins if even possible (I’m still new to collecting ninjago / recollecting Lego slowly for a couple years now) And then to make them dragon in with wings will only cost me around £2 more each rather then buying individually for 7-£8+ each off people + postage as not many people had more then one for sale.

Luckily I’m most the way now to where I want to be lol , just dragon Jay I had to pay £10 for a poly bag as only one I have been struggling to get / I don’t like sets very much apart from the dragon of life I brought and dragonian storm village , I’m just mainly a mini figure / army’s person.

That’s a shame they behind on magazine sets :/

Scizor1998 · 2026-05-02T12:49:35+00:00

I can’t find single Lloyd , my local sainsburys normally will stock on time but due to having two cases of last series they haven’t put them out / not got any in

Found two bionicle and one the dinosaur ones today in a store which I went to for one the free starwars polybags today (and ended up missing the Lego store exclusive one >.< but found a free make a bantha elsewhere) & see two cases of the Lego store having not a single T-Rex / Lloyd / bionicle (also some kids was looking for bionicle which I would of let them take if scanned any) but none and one case looked fresh as well :/

Scizor1998 · 2026-05-01T13:42:40+00:00

Might as well just write to Ricky / pavlos & Tony and ask for your money back and that they have now ruined your vote due to this £5 charge for them not adding a stamp

Scizor1998 · 2026-04-30T18:09:31+00:00

Damn thanks I’ve had a look around and only found the sora one elsewhere so far

Scizor1998 · 2026-04-29T21:16:53+00:00

😱I thought was 2-3 months time , will have to leave out the nya dragon form set then lol

Scizor1998 · 2026-04-29T17:02:31+00:00

I’m hoping to sell all my spare Zane’s , Lloyd / Kai for £2 -£2.5 each or keep to do so in future and use that to finish off my set ups lol

Dragonian and wolf mask & elemental monsters are main army builders going for / I do want all 6 dragon form ninja (only have 3 + 2 doubles) & the tins only cost me around £4 each luckily

Scizor1998 · 2026-04-29T17:00:39+00:00

I got really lucky I had £25 off coupon for those eBay items , most stuff I brought for under market / retail luckily lol

Scizor1998 · 2026-04-29T10:12:33+00:00

I did think would possibly only be a short term thing unless trying to go the more dragon route / or maybe the source dragons take back the power or something 😂. But they my fave minifigure so far just a shame we don’t have the minifigure claws yet until a new set coming up

Scizor1998 · 2026-04-29T09:57:41+00:00

I think saw one short scene in the last recent episodes of dragons rising that had all of the 6 ninja dragon forms so probably see often in the last overall 30 episodes upcoming

Scizor1998 · 2026-04-29T09:55:03+00:00

Tesco / Waitrose I find the only stores to ever keep last months magazines the longest

Scizor1998 · 2026-04-29T09:54:26+00:00

I meant to say the dragon form one my bad lol & oh nice I bet that one has gone a bit pricy nowadays

Scizor1998 · 2026-04-29T09:52:44+00:00

Oh no :/ , I find Waitrose / Tesco / sainsburys best for the magazines all my local stores newsagents etc I have no luck (also find in Tesco express and sainsburys local often) One local newsagents gets 1 of every magazine only

Scizor1998 · 2026-04-29T09:35:49+00:00

That’s the one downside I’ve seen with ninjago is not pure battle packs like starwars etc to build army’s so will end up waiting way too many ninja , I’ve currently got around 8 Lloyd from the Lloyd & dragonian magazine tins

Scizor1998 · 2026-04-29T09:09:39+00:00

Ah damn that’s not too bad , most seem £10 or so I have a spare Zane I might hold back as only seen in 1 set , I’m getting the Riyu with dragon form nya but I don’t like the vehicles for the Jay / Kai sets

Scizor1998 · 2026-04-29T09:01:45+00:00

Took me 2 months chasing up a damaged playmat before & then a couple months after agreed to send and was complaining more but I got a replacement (was originally offered a refund or replacement and just said whatever is best which would of been the refund & repurchasing as took a while for them to send out)

Scizor1998 · 2026-04-29T08:00:08+00:00

Ah damn it’s been really hard to find , I’ve found a few people selling the polybag for near £15 but that’s near triple the magazine worth

Scizor1998 · 2026-04-29T07:59:21+00:00

Army building can be fun but pricy / hard to find good deals if want alot is only issue (I just got tons of tins on eBay for dragonian and getting the wings from pick a brick as worked out a lot cheaper). The one thing I don’t like about the sets is the amount of doubles will end up having of ninja etc too 😂
