Hey there!
To coincide with the new animated series *LEGO NINJAGO Legends: Embers + Ashes*, a new, massive LEGO set was unveiled on November 6!
It’s the LEGO NINJAGO 71888 Ivo’s Ninja Dojo!
With an impressive 3,495 pieces, twelve Minifigures, and a MSRP of 279.99 euros, this is another truly massive LEGO NINJAGO set!
And I have to say, the whole thing looks really great!
But what can the new dojo do, which Minifigures are included, and what do we get for our money?
Let’s take a closer look!
Let’s get started!
LEGO NINJAGO 71888 – Ivo’s Ninja Dojo
With Ivo’s Ninja Dojo, we’re getting a new, large building from the upcoming animated series *LEGO NINJAGO Legends: Embers + Ashes*.
This is Master Ivo’s dojo, and he’ll play an important role in the new story.
And I think LEGO has done a really great job bringing it all to life!
From the front, we see an incredibly beautiful and intricately constructed dojo standing on a large rocky base.
I especially love the large black roof, the different levels, and the overall design of the building—I think they’re really well done!
Of course, this isn’t the first LEGO NINJAGO Dojo we’ve gotten in recent years. However, in my opinion, this one has a slightly more modern vibe.
I think the combination of the traditional architectural style and the slightly more modern elements really works well together.
And its size is nothing to sneeze at either!
At over 37 centimeters tall, 40 centimeters wide, and 26 centimeters deep, this thing is a real beast to put on display! It definitely looks like a very nice model to display.
Lots of gameplay features and details!
But of course, this set isn’t just for looking at! LEGO has once again included plenty of play features.
The building consists of several levels, some of which can be removed to make it easier to access the different rooms.
In addition, there are various mechanisms that allow you to recreate battle scenes and trigger different functions.
These include, among other things, falling elements, various combat mechanisms, and hidden details.
The model also includes the so-called elemental lanterns. We also get various sliding doors and a small hoverbike.
Using transparent elements, you can even attach it to the dojo so that it looks like it’s floating!
I think that’s really cool!
If you turn the entire building around, you’ll see, of course, that the back is open.
But even this part has its own unique charm!
That’s because it gives you a beautiful view of the various rooms and the numerous details inside.
And despite the open back, I think the entire building is truly impressively designed.
I especially like the combination of a beautiful display model and the numerous play features.
Twelve Minifigures are included!
Another big highlight is, of course, the Minifigures!
With a total of twelve different characters, we get a really nice selection from the upcoming animated project.
Included are:
- Jin
- Mira
- Nate
- Tre
- Master Ivo
- Master Zane
- Gigi
- Duncan
- Madge
- Roland
- Oni Emperor
- Oni Warrior
This gives us a direct look at the four new Ninjas who are set to take center stage in the upcoming series.
Also joining them are Master Ivo and our old friend Zane, who appears in the new story as Master Zane!
But I also find the other characters interesting.
The Oni Emperor and the Oni Warrior, in particular, should be quite exciting, especially for collectors.
Of course, the minifigures also come with various weapons and pieces of equipment.
These include swords, nunchucks, sais, spears, and other items.
All in all, it’s really a great selection!
And especially for a set of this size, I think twelve Minifigures is quite appropriate.

My takeaway—A really great start to the new NINJAGO project!
Personally, I think LEGO has released another really great set here!
I especially love the overall design of the dojo.
Of course, we’ve already had various large LEGO NINJAGO buildings and dojos in recent years.
But this one has a charm all its own thanks to its slightly more modern style and the new characters.
Add to that the many play features, the twelve Minifigures, and, of course, the truly impressive size!
With an MSRP of 279.99 euros, the set isn’t exactly cheap, of course.
However, we do get a whopping 3,495 pieces for that price, which works out to about eight cents per piece.
And I think that’s perfectly reasonable for such a large LEGO NINJAGO set!
Especially when you consider the size, the various rooms, and the numerous details, I think you really get your money’s worth here.
Of course, you have to hold the finished model in your own hands first to be able to definitively assess the quality of the construction and the features.
But my first impression is definitely very positive!
What I’m also especially excited about, of course, is the connection to the new animated series *LEGO NINJAGO Legends: Embers + Ashes*.
I grew up with *NINJAGO* and am really looking forward to this new anime-style project.
And I think it’s really great that we’re getting such a big set right away to go with the upcoming series!
I’m also pretty sure we’ll be seeing more LEGO sets from this new NINJAGO project in the coming months.
And I’m already looking forward to that! For me, Ivo’s Ninja Dojo is definitely a really great start to the new generation of LEGO NINJAGO.
If you’d like to learn more about the upcoming animated series, the new ninjas, and the first teaser trailer, you’ll find all the information in our separate article on LEGO NINJAGO Legends: Embers + Ashes.
Now I’m really curious to hear what you think of the new LEGO set!
What do you think of Ivo’s Ninja Dojo? Do you like the building, and what do you think of the selection of the twelve Minifigures?
And most importantly: Would you spend 279.99 euros on this set?
