Celebrate 15 years of LEGO Ninjago with fantastic Four Weapons Blacksmith [News]
This coming January marks 15 years since LEGO introduced Ninjago, and to celebrate, LEGO is planning a year of surprises, starting with a set honoring the very beginning of the Ninjago story. We had the chance to go hands-on with 71858 Four Weapons Blacksmith in Billund, and it’s a remarkable set with broad appeal. For longtime Ninjago fans, the nostalgia factor is high as the set recreates the opening of the animated series’ pilot episode and features beloved characters as they first appeared. For fans of Asian architecture, it’s an attractive and detailed model that looks good from all angles. There’s a sophistication to the set that evokes the MOC in the way that few official sets do.
After a year of so many enormous sets with large space demands, it’s great to see LEGO starting out 2026 with sets like this one and the Iron Man Mark 3 that offer a beautiful build at a more modest ask. We’ll hold off on a final assessment until we build it for ourselves, the Four Weapons Blacksmith has us excited for a year of Ninjago celebration.

At Fan Media days, LEGO teased a set of seven 15th Anniversary figures that can be collected during 2026 releases. Now we have our first character reveal from the lineup…
Cole’s grandfather, the Elemental Master of Earth!
The rest of the minifig lineup includes Kai, Master Wu, Nya, Mya, and Ray.
I really appreciate that the building is designed closed with a fully built back. It gives the set much more display potential should you want to build out more of the Ninjago world in this styele.
Here’s the official word from LEGO:
Celebrate the LEGO® NINJAGO® TV show with this Four Weapons Blacksmith 15th Anniversary (71858) building set. Boys, girls and nostalgic fans aged 14 and over will be thrilled that, for the first time, they can build, display and recreate action with the iconic blacksmith’s workshop – the first-ever location in the pilot episode of the LEGO NINJAGO TV show. Open the ninja toy at the back to reveal a bedroom and a forge packed with details and accessories from the show’s history. Kids can find ninja stickers hidden in the playset behind removable helmet and hood displays and push out a sign to reveal the golden weapons map. The set comes with 6 minifigures of characters from the history of the TV show: Maya, Ray, Nya, Blacksmith Kai, Master Wu, plus, for the first time, a collectible elemental Master of Earth on a stand. Kids can build each playset with confidence using the LEGO Builder app – zoom, rotate in 3D and track progress with easy-to-follow digital instructions. Set contains 1,259 pieces.
The interior is very sophisticated wit a mostly studless design.
What do you think? Will you be picking up this set in January?
