I was one of those kids that loved both Ninjago and Chima. I feel like most Ninjago or Chima fans like one or the other. Chima gives me so much nostalgia. I wish they would bring it back. I absolutely loved the buildable figures of Chima. I still have my Laval figure.
@@disneygirl5577As mentioned in the vid, rebooted took back the Ninjago fans that came across to chima. I think if it got another year or two before Ninjago came back it could have stuck around longer
Kind of a shame that Chima was not as popular, because I think they had some of the best minifigs, favorites for me that were on par with my clone army
Chima is like really underrated honestly, that series had a lot of potential. I really enjoyed it and I still do. I just wish I had a second chance to redeem itself.
I still have my 9 year old encyclopedia book of all the characters from the show. Which was the VERY beginning of me having an interest of anthropomorphic animals. Then I ended as a furry 6 years after the show ended, lol.
I had the bear vehicle lego set and I think that was one of my favorite sets of all time. Also the scorpion one with the gold minifig brings me so much nostalgia
Fun fact apparently the Serpentine are from Chima hence why there were no snakes in show Plus its possible the great devourer's mother might've been a legend beast
Isn't it possible that the Great devourer itself was a legend beast before it was corrupted by the overlord? I personally think that's the case, and the overlord corrupting it was why the serpentine left chima.
Chima is my all-time favorite LEGO theme! I don't necessarily think it should've replaced Ninjago, but I do wish it had stayed around for another few years and explored new ideas.
Ninjago and chima was the 2 best ones of the LEGO theme, there was some other OK ones but those 2 will stay in my heart and memories forever, the plot, the characters, the lessons, rest in peace to Chima and ninjago.🫡
To Chima was on par with ninjago when it was out. It was new and awesome. It had the best chance of being the new ninjago compared to the newer Lego themes
Omg, I had a bunch of those chi crystals. They were the main source of power and energy for my universe. The smaller single studs were the more refined versions of the crystals. This brought back like 3 seasons of my universe back to my head back into my brain
I literally can't express how much I love Lego Chima. Don't get me wrong, the Ninjago TV show is better, but the Lego Chima sets are in my opinion WAYYY ahead of the ninjago sets and just overall much more fun with the amount of play features they have. I love what Ninjago is doing now with Dragons Rising and I hope so very much that they bring back Chima in a way that's as big as possible. Also, I really hope that one day, Lego is gonna reboot Chima but I kinda don't believe in it anymore. I do think it would have been better to reboot Chima in comparison to Lego Dreamzzz, especially with the Chima Show theoretically being connected to the Ninjago set and at the end, have a giant crossover or something. That would be the most hype any Lego Shows would ever have in my opinion.
As a tier one ninjago glazer ninjago is absolutely peak and the single greatest kids show of all time, I think china had potential and it could have been big along side of ninjago but in a perfect world they run along side of each ither
I was there day one for both themes, and I feel the reasons I stuck with Ninjago and not Chima are pretty easy to describe in hindsight. For me one of the biggest issues with Chima was the show. It just wasn't as good as Ninajgo. Ninjago not the citizen Kane of Tv or anything, but it has consistently understood how to hook its audience. I was a kid when Chima came out, and even as a kid I knew Chima's writing wasn't as good. In the first episode, I remember Laval and his friends are playing hide and seek, and acting like very young children, but they physically looked like adults, which really bothered me. The Ninja were pretty childish characters, but they still acted like older teens and the show felt like it was dealing with some heavier story telling in a way younger kids could digest. I really didn't like that the sets sold the story as a conflict between these two former friends, but the show just had Cragger under Mind control by his sister with a magic plant. There was no sense of stakes or consequences. None of Chima's villains were ever as compelling as Ninjago's. It felt like Cragger and Crooler weren't at the level of Lord Garmadon or Pythor or the Overlord. It was just hard to commit to buying sets when the fiction wasn't compelling enough to bother watching. Ninjago's show gripped its fans so much, Lego basically had no choice but to keep it going. And the sets were cool and at times incredibly inventive, but they also felt a bit repetitive. I feel like you can only buy so many Lion or eagle themed vehicles before you don't feel the need to get anymore. I think people forget the Ninja didn't have vehicles in the pilot season. They only had dragons. When the Ninja starting getting vehicles, they basically always had new and unique ones every season, and that was in addition to the dragons and location playsets. Chima kinda just has one aesthetic, animal vehicles. I strongly think chima needed some more variety. There should have been some buffers between the new tribes. The Ninja don't just fight other Ninja every season, they fight Skeletons and Snakes, and Robots, and Pirates. Chima needed some other non-animal factions to spice it up. what if season 2 had the Cast fight clockwork automatons, or plant people, or aquatic races or something like that? Something that felt in keeping with the setting while providing some variety, and then moving on to the outland tribes. The ice zombie tribes in season 3 were a good start, but I think it would have hit harder if there was something in between. I wouldn't discount Chima characters showing up in Dragon's Rising though. I think Laval showing up in the show would be an easy crowd pleasing moment.
Yes, it was definitely weaker. The first two introductory episodes were extremely rushed and failed to create a strong connection between the viewer and the characters. The main conflict was also a bit lackluster, with a generic bad side being present, but also not at the same time, since most of the conflict at the beginning of the series stemmed from Crooler's machinations (nobody tried to stop her btw, even though she was doing it in front of everyone lmao). The villains in later seasons also lacked any decency or dignity, they were often ridiculed and I couldn't take them seriously, unlike with Ninjago. The characters were also weaker than in Ninjago overall, with some being so irrelevant one wonders why were they even in the show (mainly the bear tribe), and their development was minimal, with the only exception being Laval. I mean, Cragger couldn't improve much, since he wasn't actually a bad guy and was under the influence of his sister in the first season. Or look at the relationship between Eris and Rogon which came out of nowhere and they completely threw it away in the 3rd season :DD I could go on and on, bringing up the flaws you mentioned as well, but I think its pretty clear that the show was just objectively worse in quality. The problem was mainly execution, not the base idea. Ninjago managed to avoid a lot of these mistakes and did other things way better
U seems biased chima wsnt bad at all characters got devellopment and grownth ? I mean hate on something but hate for a good reason yeah the vilain wsnt as dangerous as ninjago but i never think a lego vilain was dangerous. The ice enemies in chila are tough there is no counter to their walk at the start. Ninajgo lose itself the more the story progress kinda same for chima in the end there is not a far superior show
@@studiobaguette7781 Criticism ≠ hate, you can criticise something even if you liked it in the past or even now. Chima's overall lower quality definitely contributed to the theme being discontinued. Ninjago had a way better start, but honestly even compared to the later ones, Chima is on the level of the worst ninjago seasons that I have seen (except the 7th)
I was never the hugest LEGO kid back then, but I definitely remembered Ninjago and Chima. It is kinda funny how at some point, I legit forgot about Legends of Chima and had no idea it was even cancelled until this video. Meanwhile, I've always known and about and remembered Ninjago. However, I do still have one of the Chima books from my 1st Grade bookfair. It was like a weird double feature book that you had to flip upside-down to see the other story.
I totally forgot that these existed, but these sets were such a big part of my childhood that i recognised half of them. Thank you for bringing these memories back. I had so much fun with Fluminox and Ares fire eagle
@@redshot5403I thought season 1 was ok I wasn't a fan of the idea of half of the tribes fighting over chi for dumb reasons.... I also hated Crooler too such an heartless idiot that forced cragger to do evil and dangerous things which harmed chima.... I just wished season 1 was rewritten to be honest....
I enjoyed both Ninjago and Chima. But I was not a fan of the tv show or at least the first season. The concept was cool but it felt like it was trying to both be child friendly and a tragic epic adventure and couldn’t figure out how till the last minute. I do really regret not getting a lot of the sets since there was ton of unique parts and figures.
I had the Chima game on my ds, I'd play it every day on the way to middle school, that was a decade ago, and your video finally let me remember the name of the series, thank you so much!
I really loved both Legends of Chima and Lego Ninjago. I remember watching it in the morning before going to elementary school, so sad that it wasn’t as popular as Lego Ninjago and only had a few seasons, because I really liked the concept and character designs
This could just be because I just watched the new movie, but Chima bares a striking resemblance to Transformers and this actually makes me appreciate the theme more! The main things: a friends-to-enemies arc (Laval/Cragger-Optimus/Megatron, ik Cragger was mind controlled but still), a turf war for control of the land and resource (Chima/Chi-Cybertron/Energon), a pantheon of mythical deities (Legend Beast-Primus/The Original 13 Primes), and a gimmick to draw in audiences (Speedors-Transformations)
the memories this video unlocked for me! i clicked thinking i liked chima as a kid, but i don't really remember anything from it. but as the video went on, i just remembered more and more details about the show, to a weird degree. and i just remembered a whole bunch of random details about it. i don't really know the sets other than a few cause i could never afford them, but my friend's dad at the time worked with lego (like i have no idea if it was for the lego company or just something involving legos cause i don't remember what he did) so he sometimes got sets just a little early and i remember when i went to his place we built some chima sets and so many random childhood memories are flooding back in very random tangent i know, but thank you for reminding me of this show lol
I wish Warner Bros could make a Lego crossover with different Lego series theme Lego Movie , Unikitty ,Chima , Ninjago, Bionicle , Nexo Knights and Mixels
Thank you for helping me bring back my Chima related memories. I knew i loved the show and the lego set i had but sadly didn't remember much. Thank you!
This is hella nostalgic for me, I was like in kindergarten during season 2. The alligators were my favorite but I remember thinking the scorpions were also cool. Then I was actually afraid of the spiders for some reason lol.
Ironically, I really wanted a lego Chima set for Christmas (2015, I think?) Don't know why, just remember that I did. *Thanks for bringing back old memories*
Nah this Lego line shouldve never died. I was obsessed with Chima and didn't get a lot of the original waves, but I got almost all the ice and fire sets and outlands sets.
3:07 god this set brings back memories, younger me couldn’t comprehend a huge set like this and I had to ask my dad to build it for me, best Christmas ever
i loved lego so much as a kid, i also remember these super fondly. thanks for bringing back these memories. i should get legos again, i wish i never threw them away. im so depressed now
maaaaan is this nostalgix. hell i remember in elementary school that the talons on one of the big raven mechs were rumored to have put permanent holes in a kid cuz they were so sharp.
yall remember that game for mobile that had you choose a character, get on their speeder, then race down to the middle arena and do some minigame to beat the enemy speeder and get chi to upgrade the speeder? I cant remember the name but i remember it being so fun as a kid
i remember specific scenes from this show but I always thought was something imaginary- like it never existed. this brought back so many memories of watching this show when I was younger.
I bought nearly 20 chima sets as a 7 year old. Oh how I miss thee chima. I would like to add I did enjoy the theme. I don't anymore recall the narrative, nevertheless it had a determinate impact on me in my adolescense.
Chima isn't even the first time lego had a show about talking Animals. Edward and Friends was a show about the day to day life of characters in Fabuland who were all animals.
This is so nostalgic, it takes me back to when I used to live in my old house in another country (lived there when i was younger, we moved). I used to love legos, particularly Lego hero factory and the full sized chima characters that are based off of the hero factory pieces. Good times.
As someone who has a massive hyperfixation with animals, Chima appealed to me more during its run, and I think I bought more Chima sets during its 3 year run than Ninjago sets. I do feel Ninjago had the superior TV show. I feel like lots of the tribes got shafted, and were just lazy one-dimensional animal stereotypes.
I’d LOVE to see Chima come back in the future! Every time I bring it up on the internet, there’s always someone who says “I used to love that show! Haven’t thought about it in years!”. There’s even an active subreddit, and the Chima wiki has an active Discord server, so I know for sure I’m not alone!
I wish they’d bring back and revamp the Chima sets by making some of them bigger and maybe including more side builds like how the ice fortress, if it were made now could have been bigger with more figures and two vehicles for the good guys and maybe one for the bad guys to add the playability factor for kids.
I remember totally being hooked with a game they released where they raced using the speedorz- I think my brother still has one of the lego sets in the back of the closet somewhere. So nostalgic...
I never really watched nor played with LEGO but this video waked an ancient memory which was buried deep down my brain. I had totally forgotten about this😭 I think I kinda liked this movie or whatever it was
When I was a little kid, I didn't even know what Legos were until 11. When I got the Lego Chima book, I saw the character (He's a winter wolf as I remember) and I was into the series
I still have craggors sword as a good luck charm in my pencil case to this day. I‘m a second year college student. Thanks for the video. It was pure nostalgia.❤
I remember coming to my friend house and playing with Chima and it was very fun. The mini figures were one of my favorite from lego ever (especially I like eagles and ravens) so it's really sad that Chima got cancelled
Bro this video gave me so much childhood memorise from all the sets i played with to those i own tho i dont have any of these sets still alive as i played with them and they broke
Wow I haven't thought about Chima in years! Definitely a lot of nostalgia. With all of the sets released, I'm actually very surprised but I had and still have most of the Chima sets
Its too bad Lego never continued with this series. All their sets had so many Unique parts that young me wished to get my hands on. 10 years later im a furry now
This video took a while to make, so if you've enjoyed a few of my videos, please consider subscribing to help us reach 10k! Also, what's your favourite Chima set?
BTW, a couple months ago, my mum gave me an incomplete lion legend beast saying she accidentally bidded on eBay
My favorite one I own? Definitely Worriz's Combat Lair. But I think that the Flying Phoenix Fire Temple would be my favorite if I got to play with it
GREAT LEGO MAN CAM LEGO CHIMA WHAT HAPPEN TO THE THEME.
@@LegoManCam Dang I can't choose just one. But my top two would have to be Scorm's Scorpion Stinger and Laval's Fire Lion.
@LegoManCam why didn't Lego made a Dom de la Woosh minifigure and his peacock speedorz set??

Huh you think that
I always thought they exist but most hate the other for feeling surperior or being salty about theirs being canceled

The video games on the PSVita are peaked nostalgia
Same man, then they discontinued chima and I stopped getting ninjago after 2017
Me to
Kind of a shame that Chima was not as popular, because I think they had some of the best minifigs, favorites for me that were on par with my clone army
real, the ice part of chima was so underrated to me

I liked the idea but I always hated the helmets as a kid cuz they didn't work with regular Minifigures 😂
Bro, Chima is so nostalgic for me and I love it
E
I remembering being in kindergarten and watching Chima every weekend along with Ninjago, this theme will always have a special place in my heart
I never watched the shows but i had 16 of these sets
Ong bro this video unlocked a memory
The Chima wiki says that the ending of the finale was “everyone celebrating Christmas.” This implies Jesus exists in the Chima universe.
Have you heard of our lord and saviour, chisus?
Well Jesus has the title of the lion of the tribe of Judah and also the lamb of god/lamb that was slain
This also implies the existence of the old testament and things like the Ark Of The Covenant and slavery in Egypt.
@@GeorgeRamsey22 and that chima was colonised by Europe in the past
Or they just have a similar celebration called christmas
Fun fact apparently the Serpentine are from Chima hence why there were no snakes in show
Plus its possible the great devourer's mother might've been a legend beast
It makes sense
Isn't it possible that the Great devourer itself was a legend beast before it was corrupted by the overlord? I personally think that's the case, and the overlord corrupting it was why the serpentine left chima.
@@Supasmartguy its confirmed the Great Devourer had a mother so it would technically the son of a legend beast, similar to the Eagle Beast's eggs
@@ghostviper8906 how does having a mother deconfirm it being a legend beast?
@@Supasmartguy it's still a legend beast just not the first one
Chima is my all-time favorite LEGO theme! I don't necessarily think it should've replaced Ninjago, but I do wish it had stayed around for another few years and explored new ideas.
Chima was amazing, wished Lego brought it back
It's not my #1 favorite but it's 1 of them
Ninjago and chima was the 2 best ones of the LEGO theme, there was some other OK ones but those 2 will stay in my heart and memories forever, the plot, the characters, the lessons, rest in peace to Chima and ninjago.🫡
Loved the Pokemon X/Y music in the background. This guy gets us
Real, i wanted to write the same comment if there wasnt yours already
To Chima was on par with ninjago when it was out. It was new and awesome. It had the best chance of being the new ninjago compared to the newer Lego themes
I miss Legends of Chima. It was the theme that got me into LEGO stop motions and got me serious about LEGO in general.
Chima, Hero Factory, and Ninjago were some of my favorite lego lines growing up. The story-driven lego stuff was always a lot of fun
OMG bionicle Hero factory! U remember that was a thing 😭
@@NuclearBomb-ow4zf When Lego tried to reinvent bionicle with the hero factory parts?
@@You-Tube-n5k yeah

Bro the intro, this whole video is nostalgia overload, even the music is giving me flashbacks to Pokémon before 3ds internet shutdown.
I fully believe that if Chima got brought back with modern bricks, this would be better than ninjago
No it would not... Let it go it will never be better than ninjago
@@The-Real-Lloyd-Garmadon-in my mind it will
If they got better voice actors and didn’t do the weird wacky humor I’d say it’d be closer
As a tier one ninjago glazer ninjago is absolutely peak and the single greatest kids show of all time, I think china had potential and it could have been big along side of ninjago but in a perfect world they run along side of each ither
Well Chima is Canon in Ninjago
Fun fact: In Ninjago Season 5 Episode 10 you can See Morro and Lloyd traveling to Chima
yeah bro watch the video Cam mentions that
My fiance broke up with me the other day, your videos are helping me get through it. Thank you brother.

Chima is my all time favorite . It's sad we didn't have more seasons of it , i remember hating nexo knights for it lol
You brought me back such a memory. I remember playing a mobile game version of the series.
Nah this Lego line shouldve never died. I was obsessed with Chima and didn't get a lot of the original waves, but I got almost all the ice and fire sets and outlands sets.
3:07 god this set brings back memories, younger me couldn’t comprehend a huge set like this and I had to ask my dad to build it for me, best Christmas ever
i loved lego so much as a kid, i also remember these super fondly. thanks for bringing back these memories. i should get legos again, i wish i never threw them away. im so depressed now
Man, i miss lego chima online so much. It was my favorite game as a kid and i would love to play it 1 more time.
maaaaan is this nostalgix. hell i remember in elementary school that the talons on one of the big raven mechs were rumored to have put permanent holes in a kid cuz they were so sharp.
yall remember that game for mobile that had you choose a character, get on their speeder, then race down to the middle arena and do some minigame to beat the enemy speeder and get chi to upgrade the speeder? I cant remember the name but i remember it being so fun as a kid
It was called Speedorz, I absolutely loved it. I remember putting a Croc head on a Wolf's torso with Lion legs, good times
i was looking for someone mentioning the game, I thought I was going insane thinking if Chima did have a game 😭
Chima also had Chima Online and a Chima tribe fighting game.
i remember specific scenes from this show but I always thought was something imaginary- like it never existed. this brought back so many memories of watching this show when I was younger.
I just saw a kid reading a comic from this IP at work, yes, in 2024. He was glued to it too. Made me feel like i was in the late 2000s.
I bought nearly 20 chima sets as a 7 year old. Oh how I miss thee chima. I would like to add I did enjoy the theme. I don't anymore recall the narrative, nevertheless it had a determinate impact on me in my adolescense.
Chima isn't even the first time lego had a show about talking Animals. Edward and Friends was a show about the day to day life of characters in Fabuland who were all animals.
Apparently, Chima was initially conceived as a hybrid reboot of both Fabuland and Exo-Force.
This is so nostalgic, it takes me back to when I used to live in my old house in another country (lived there when i was younger, we moved). I used to love legos, particularly Lego hero factory and the full sized chima characters that are based off of the hero factory pieces. Good times.
wow this brings back loads of memories, I loved this show. Completely forgot the name so I could never find it as I got older.
Great vid
Lego chima was my childhood
As someone who has a massive hyperfixation with animals, Chima appealed to me more during its run, and I think I bought more Chima sets during its 3 year run than Ninjago sets. I do feel Ninjago had the superior TV show. I feel like lots of the tribes got shafted, and were just lazy one-dimensional animal stereotypes.
Dude when you said 2013 was 11 years ago I literally paused the video and just thought I'm 18 I was 7 in 2013 you made me realize how old I am now
I cant belive it ran only from 2013-2015! It felt like such a big thing when I was a kid, with the TV-show and all
Man I'd forgotten about Nexo Knights! Chima was one of my fav lego series, and I'd always hoped for a comeback
I’d LOVE to see Chima come back in the future! Every time I bring it up on the internet, there’s always someone who says “I used to love that show! Haven’t thought about it in years!”. There’s even an active subreddit, and the Chima wiki has an active Discord server, so I know for sure I’m not alone!
That china set with the big yellow castle thingy was so cool back in 2012
loved both this and ninjago
This brings back so many memories bro me and my brother used to love watching this
I wish they’d bring back and revamp the Chima sets by making some of them bigger and maybe including more side builds like how the ice fortress, if it were made now could have been bigger with more figures and two vehicles for the good guys and maybe one for the bad guys to add the playability factor for kids.
I remember having 6-8 mix lego sets of Ninjago and Chima, absolutely loved both of them 😭
I remember totally being hooked with a game they released where they raced using the speedorz- I think my brother still has one of the lego sets in the back of the closet somewhere. So nostalgic...
HOLY SHIT NOOO WAY, You just activated some Core memory with that thumbnail
i loved Chima so much. I still have a bunch of sets lying around, de/reconstructed into other stuff by now lol
I forgot about this series, brought back old memories time to binge watch it
chima was awesome its sad they dont bring it back
I'm hardly 18 but I loved Lego chima as a kid, just today had a chat about it with a friend when he randomly remembered it
i have a lot of chima sets and i also tried to winn the giant set but had no luck. You let me live my childhood again
I remember liking Chima a lot. Good times
I forgot Chima even existed, this is so freaking nostalgic!
You just unlocked a childhood memory of mine
I loved Chima back in the day. I remember getting the Gorilla mech for my birthday witch made me so happy.
I never really watched nor played with LEGO but this video waked an ancient memory which was buried deep down my brain. I had totally forgotten about this😭 I think I kinda liked this movie or whatever it was
I remember having set for this theme and never actually knowing what it was
When I was a little kid, I didn't even know what Legos were until 11. When I got the Lego Chima book, I saw the character (He's a winter wolf as I remember) and I was into the series
Dude unlocked a core memory my god I can’t believe I forgot about Lego Chima
I had Worriz’ Combat Lair. It was one of the best sets I ever got. ^^
I still have craggors sword as a good luck charm in my pencil case to this day. I‘m a second year college student. Thanks for the video. It was pure nostalgia.❤
thank you so much
I remember coming to my friend house and playing with Chima and it was very fun. The mini figures were one of my favorite from lego ever (especially I like eagles and ravens) so it's really sad that Chima got cancelled
Dude the finale of chima was so good i think the did a good job wrapping it up and it felt complete
Loved the series and had so many sets. I was only 7 years old but This video brings back aweskme memories
watching this made me realise how many of these sets I actually had, sadly I no longer have them as they've been lost to time
Bro this video gave me so much childhood memorise from all the sets i played with to those i own tho i dont have any of these sets still alive as i played with them and they broke
OMG I REMEMBER THIS. I was 7-8 years old when chima was popular.
Wow I haven't thought about Chima in years! Definitely a lot of nostalgia. With all of the sets released, I'm actually very surprised but I had and still have most of the Chima sets
Oh wow, some of the sets truly are amazing! I wish I'd bought more when I was a kid but I was too addicted to Ninjago lol
The goosebumps I felt when I saw Lego chima in the thumbnail is unreal!!🤌✨
I remember seeing the toys and commercials for this show when I was little, I never knew it ended up failing
I had a set that was a large boat from the crocodile tribe, not sure why I didn’t see it in the video but I swear it existed
Nvm I must’ve missed the mention just went back and saw it
Who remembers the game on the play store? Take me back
Its too bad Lego never continued with this series. All their sets had so many Unique parts that young me wished to get my hands on.
10 years later im a furry now
Finally someone's talking ABT this show it was low-key fire
