LEGO NINJAGO Summer 2026 Sets Revealed – Dragons Rising & Legends Take Over This June
A Huge Wave of LEGO NINJAGO Sets Arrives on 1 June 2026
The LEGO NINJAGO theme continues to dominate as one of LEGO’s most successful in-house creations. Its winning mix of storytelling, collectability and highly playable builds has kept fans hooked for well over a decade. Whether it’s dragons, mechs, vehicles or iconic ninja characters, NINJAGO consistently delivers sets that appeal to both younger builders and serious collectors.
That winning formula is on full display again with the upcoming Summer 2026 wave, launching on 1 June 2026. With a massive line-up of sets inspired by NINJAGO: Dragons Rising Season 4 and the continuing Legends subtheme, this release delivers something for every budget — from entry-level battle packs to premium display models.
From Battle Packs to Display Giants – A Set for Everyone
71862 Lloyd’s Dragon Mech Battle Pack – $9.99 / €9.99 / £8.99
A brilliant low-cost entry point, this 81-piece LEGO® NINJAGO® set delivers plenty of play value for its price. Lloyd takes centre stage in a compact green dragon mech, designed with simple articulation for quick action poses. Alongside him are Jay — featuring updated golden claw elements for 2026 — and a loyalist enemy armed for battle. For under £10, this is exactly the kind of set that army builders and younger fans will gravitate towards, and historically these battle packs tend to perform very well both at retail and on the secondary market.
71863 Zilvar and Gramtak – $19.99 / €19.99 / £17.99
At 232 pieces, this set introduces one of the more unique creatures of the wave. Gramtak blends the physical traits of a gorilla and a dragon into a striking brick-built figure, complete with articulation and space for Zilvar to ride. The inclusion of Kai in dragon form alongside Nya adds strong character appeal, while the connection to Dragons Rising Season 4 gives it added relevance for fans following the storyline. This is a standout mid-range set with a lot of personality.
71864 Kai & Cole’s Combiner Vehicles – $39.99 / €29.99 / £24.99
A classic NINJAGO play feature returns here, with two vehicles that can be built separately or combined into a larger hybrid machine. The black motorcycle for Cole and buggy for Kai both feature distinct designs, but the real appeal lies in their ability to merge into one upgraded vehicle. With 394 pieces and three minifigures — including a new ice monster — this set offers excellent play versatility and strong value at £24.99.
71865 Zane’s Ice Dragon Battle – Price TBC
Designed for younger builders (4+), this 141-piece set keeps things simple while still delivering action. The ice dragon build is easy to assemble but visually effective, paired with a larger brick-built acid monster and two smaller variants with printed legs. With Zane and Sora included, this set acts as a great introduction to the theme, and while pricing is still to be confirmed, it will likely sit in the lower price bracket.
71867 X-1 Ninja Charger (15th Anniversary) – $89.99 / €79.99 / £69.99
Already revealed ahead of the full wave, this 691-piece set is a modern remake of the iconic X-1 Ninja Charger. Designed as part of the 15th Anniversary celebrations, it updates the original vehicle with enhanced detailing and improved build techniques. The inclusion of an exclusive Elemental Master of Shadow minifigure adds collector appeal, making this £69.99 set a strong nostalgia-driven purchase for long-time fans.
Larger Builds Bring Innovation and Display Appeal
71868 Wyldfyre’s Transforming Dragon Mech – $89.99 / €89.99 / £79.99
One of the most innovative sets in the wave, this 821-piece build transforms between a dragon and a mech — combining two of NINJAGO’s most popular concepts into one model. The transformation feature is smooth and satisfying, while the six included minifigures — including Wyldfyre, Sora, Arin and Empress Beatrix (in both forms) — add significant play value. At £79.99, this set strikes a great balance between display and interaction.
71869 Land Bounty - $129.99 / €129.99 / £109.99
A fresh take on a fan-favourite vehicle, this 1,214-piece Land Bounty reimagines the iconic ship as a land-based machine. The model is packed with features, including detachable sections that form a bike, buggy and even a small airship. With seven minifigures — including multiple dragon-form characters — and a strong play/display crossover, this £109.99 set feels like a centrepiece for the mid-to-high range.
71870 The Twin Titan Mechs – $139.99 / €139.99 / £119.99
Why settle for one mech when you can have two? This 1,707-piece Legends set delivers twin Titan Mechs based on Kai and Nya, each with distinct colour schemes and design elements. The inclusion of alternate identities (Jin and Mira) adds a layer of storytelling intrigue, while the Oni warrior rounds out the minifigure selection. At £119.99, this is a premium set with strong display presence and long-term collector appeal.
71871 Battle at the Dragon’s Blade – $99.99 / €89.99 / £79.99
This 1,016-piece display model leans heavily into visual storytelling. Featuring a dragon and mech battling atop a detailed dragon skull — complete with a katana piercing through it — the set is designed to be viewed from all angles. With four minifigures including Jin, Mira and an Oni warrior, this £79.99 set stands out as one of the most artistic and shelf-worthy builds in the wave.
71872 Ultra Dragon Battle – $199.99 / €199.99 / £179.99
The flagship of the Summer 2026 line-up, this 2,178-piece set recreates the legendary four-headed Ultra Dragon in battle with the Great Devourer. Built as a display model on a landscaped base, it captures one of NINJAGO’s most iconic showdowns. With four minifigures and an imposing presence, this £179.99 set is clearly aimed at collectors and experienced builders — and could easily become one of the most sought-after NINJAGO releases in years.
And Finally… These Are Sets to Watch Closely
This Summer 2026 wave shows exactly why LEGO NINJAGO remains such a powerhouse theme. With a blend of play-focused sets, innovative builds and premium display models, there’s clear appeal across all age groups — and importantly for collectors, several of these sets have strong long-term potential.
From the ambitious Ultra Dragon Battle to the versatile Land Bounty and the ever-popular mech builds, this is a line-up packed with future fan favourites. If history tells us anything, standout NINJAGO sets don’t stay on shelves forever — making these releases well worth keeping firmly on your radar.
