LEGO Reveals First Two Ninjago 2027 Sets as Spinner Battles Return
LEGO has revealed the first two Ninjago sets of 2027, both spinners tied to Dragons' Fury - confirmed as the final run of the current Ninjago series. 71873 Cole vs. Evil Cole Spinner is 58 pieces at £8.99 / $9.99 / €9.99, while 71875 Lloyd vs. Ras Spinner Battle is 153 pieces at £17.99 / $19.99 / €19.99. Both go on sale 1 January 2027.
The mechanic is the same one Ninjago launched with: load a minifigure into a spinner, push the button on the launcher, and send them whirling into the opponent. Detachable covers fly off on impact. It is straightforward, repeatable, and built for the 6+ crowd who want something to play with rather than build once and leave on a shelf.
71873 is the entry-level option. Cole faces an evil version of himself - the Evil Cole figure has a spectral look with a mirrored torso design. At 58 pieces it is proper pocket money territory, the kind of set a child picks up independently. Cole's hammer clips to the launcher for safekeeping when not in use. The price works out to roughly 15p per piece.
71875 doubles the action. Lloyd and Lord Ras each get a spinner, and there is an Epic Dragon Statue holding two weapons to grab mid-battle - knock it over, take a weapon, carry on fighting. At 153 pieces for £17.99 it works out to around 12p per piece, making it the better value of the two and the more complete package overall.
The Dragons' Fury storyline running through 2027 pits the ninja against evil versions of themselves. Evil Cole is the first example; Ras returning as Lloyd's adversary signals he remains a central threat in the narrative. A new dual-coloured cowl also appears across the range, a genuine improvement on the previous design.
Both sets were first shown at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 before receiving their full reveal in early October. More 2027 Ninjago announcements are expected before the year is out - these two are the opening move, not the full lineup.
