customizing Ninjago to fit a LEGO city!

  • The Ninjago city theme has some of the best buildings in LEGO - but they're hard to integrate with a regular LEGO city. Most cities we've seen keep Ninjago city sets separate from the main city, off to the side. But we think there's a better way to show off these beautiful buildings. And we build a custom Ninjago City Gardens alternate MOC in less than 8 hours! LEGO city update!!

    In this video, we show how to:
    - estimate the volume of materials we have, to resize the Ninjago buildings to fit a standard footprint
    - change the angle and cantilevering of the buildings, to keep the Ninjago flavor but still make the buildings neat enough to fit well with other city themes
    - expand existing mini-builds to fit the larger LEGO city footprint
    - add new mini-builds, like a LEGO pay phone, a brick-built barber sign, and a LEGO climbing wall
    - integrate pink frogs
    - do this all in less than a day!

    Jang bricks has a video titled "The joy of small buildings" which I recommend. To me your approach is very practical and also creative. I figured that, I feel bad to keep sets in their original form(like it is a too adult thing to do), yet still can't break them to their pieces, even though I bought some of them just for color scheme. For example I bought a big truck because I love "dark red" but I couldnt break it for parts yet. Maybe I need more time. Anyways love the sensitivity and depth in this channel❤.

    I loved this video so much! What a wonderful way to play with an existing set that’s both creatively challenging and fun for the viewer to watch.
    You two continue to really impress with your video ideas and presentations in an already crowded Lego UA-cam space. Excited to see the city and the channel’s continued growth!
    I hope to see the roles reversed next time!

    I really like this style. I often get decision paralysis when it comes to building MOCs, i just don't know what to do and end up barely making any progress. I'll have to force myself to just build anything for a few hours, then my wife can decide if it goes into the city or thrown to the floor lol

    Good on you girls! I honestly can't stand "Destroying" Bricks the way some channels do. Often if I have a set fall of a shelf (like my poor poor Guardians of the Galaxy Benatar starship has twice!), sometimes pieces can warp and even snap or break, and I hate when that happens. Although thanks to Bricklink, I am able to replace parts inexpensively, but who wants to do that if you don't have too? I personally like to take care of my things, each and every Lego brick included! So I personally am not a fan of "Destroying" lego builds at all, except for how you girls have done it here, properly and with a brick separator!
    BTW, I really loved how you reimagined some of the best parts from the Ninjago City Gardens into Mini-Modular, and city ready builds! I've always felt like the Ninjago City, Docks, and Gardens, and the coming Markets, would be really great sets to build once each, but then to take apart vendor by vendor and then placing them into a modular arrangement to create my very own Chinatown in my Lego city! I love it when different parts of a Lego city has their own feel to the areas, much like a real life city.
    For example, all the official LEGO Modulars line create an "Old Town" section of my Lego city, as all the Lego Modular official designs have that pre-1950's building style to them. Ninjago theme become my city's Chinatown, and then I have the Modern area of my city that includes sets like the Daily Bugle, the Sanctum Santorum, and rebuiilds of Assembly Square and the Boutique Hotel in order to service a more modern approach to that section of my city!
    Thank you for creating wonderful contents for us to view! Loving your videos girls. Keep up the good work!
