Jay

This version of Jay, appearing in the anniversary set, is likely to be highly sought after by Ninjago collectors due to its unique design elements. The combination of the aviator cap, goggles, and distinctive armor makes this a visually striking minifigure. The printed details on the torso and legs add to the overall appeal, making it a desirable addition to any Ninjago collection.

Given that it's part of an anniversary set, it's expected to have a limited production run, further enhancing its collectibility. Mint condition figures with all accessories will command the highest prices on the secondary market.

This Jay minifigure is currently scheduled to appear in only one set, The Old Town 15th Anniversary (71861-1), making it potentially rare from the outset, depending on the production run of the set. As it's scheduled for release in 2026, its availability on the aftermarket is currently non-existent but will depend on the set's popularity and distribution. If the anniversary set is a limited edition or regional exclusive, this will further increase its rarity.

As a brand-new minifigure appearing in a set scheduled for release in 2026, its investment potential is currently speculative. However, given the popularity of the Ninjago theme and the unique design of this Jay minifigure, it has the potential to appreciate in value, especially if the set it appears in becomes highly sought after or is retired quickly. Monitoring the aftermarket prices of similar exclusive Ninjago minifigures will provide insight into its potential future value. Figures with unique parts tend to hold value well.
