LEGO Ninjago 71858 Four Weapons Blacksmith: Ninjago-ing back to where it all began [Review]

The LEGO Ninjago theme celebrates its 15th anniversary with the release of set 71858 Four Weapons Blacksmith, a detailed recreation of the location where the Ninjago story began. This 1,259-piece set will be available starting January 1, 2026, and is priced at US $99.99, CAN $129.99, and UK £89.99. The set includes six minifigures, including Kai, Master Wu, Maya, Ray, the Master of Earth, and Nya.

The set's design features a bright and refreshing box, with 12 paper bags, instructions, and a sticker sheet inside. The build process begins with a colorful foundation using various bricks and SNOT (Studs Not On Top) techniques to create rockwork and detailed window frames. The blacksmith is split into two halves, connected by a hinge brick, allowing for easy access to the interior. The interior includes a tiled floor for the blacksmith area and a panelled floor and bed in the sleeping quarters. The roof construction involves stacking black sloped elements and a sign that reveals a map to one of the golden weapons.

The set's six minifigures accurately represent early season appearances, with reversible heads for most characters, and detailed printing. The Master of Earth is one of seven anniversary figures and comes with a printed tile. The finished model of the Four Weapons Blacksmith is a charming residence, with hidden details like Kai's ZX mask and Nya's Samurai X helmet. If you're a fan of the Ninjago theme, you might want to consider a LEGO display case to showcase this set alongside your other Ninjago creations.
