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.

[@TorrentStudios]

yeah bro watch the video Cam mentions that

[@MaxM210]

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.

[@LegoManCam]

Laval showing up would be so nice!

[@GeorgeRamsey22]

Well spoken. It would be wonderful if some CHIMA characters showed up in Ninjago.

[@tamas9554]

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

[@studiobaguette7781]

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

[@tamas9554]

@@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)

[@aikordcz4424]

Chima was really interesting. I remember loving the look of the sets. However, the show was pretty bad imo. In the first season, I think the worst part is that there was nothing really happening and everything felt stagnant. Even though I was hooked at first, with the tribes going to war, the chi powers, etc. none of this was explored at all. The "war" was just a static "nothings going on" moment, with crocodiles and other villain tribes doing random tomfoolery (at least it felt like it, it's been years since I watched it). The chi itself wasn't used much, unlike spinjutsu in Ninjago. And the plot of the Craggers sister manipulating him got frustrating pretty fast. The second season was actually pretty great tho. We got a lot of interesting stuff: the Legendary Beasts that were hyped since season 1, an actual goal and progressing story, the mysterious speedor rider who lived in the wild, the drama with Craggers parents and a pretty funny and cool looking villains (I mean, look at Scorm, he's fresh as fck). Overall, I liked season 2 a lot and was willing to give them another chance. And then season 3 happened... oh boy. This one was really bad. The ideas, again, were awesome. A new brutal looking ice tribes vs the new fire powered good tribes. However, what killed this season to me, were the stupidity of the villains and how overpowered the good guys became. At first, good guys had no chance, there was no way to fight the ice, but then the phoenixes very early gave good guys the fire chi which completely annihilates the ice powers. Not only that, but the bad guys were so dumb, that just two kids doing evok sht were able to take down an entire army in one of the episodes. I didn't even finish this season, it was so boring even I coundn't watch it. Here goes my opinion on the show, there were still good parts in the "bad" seasons, but not enough for me, I think Chima deserved better. Awesome video by the way :)

Chima is probably one of my Favorite LEGO Themes ever made. Nowadays, I'm into Ninjago but will always have a love for Chima. It was one of the Few LEGO series (Besides Ninjago) That I was into as a kid. I had some of the set which are sadly in pieces or nearly gone. I also enjoyed the show as a kid. Of course I was sad when they cancelled the theme, as not only did the show kinda end on a cliff hanger but there could have been several opportunities for sets and new animal tribes. With Chima being canon to Ninjago, I do hope to see the characters return and it not just be like a obligatory cameo or Easter egg. But yeah, I love Chima. Still reference it from time to time in my videos, hell my OC and PFP uses the Raven head piece as a plague mask. Fun Fact about LEGO Dimensions, Sonic actually has one interaction with Cragger where he mistakes him for Vector.

Goated! I remember having the speedors and playing with them against friends

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

[@LegoManCam]

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

[@zgalexy83]

I remember having set for this theme and never actually knowing what it was

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

[@brix_max]

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

[@Pace_BkDk_Stan]

the thing i'm wondering rn is why there are no chima characters in dragons rising if chima is one of the 16 realms that merged together

[@wodmanf]

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

[@jamiebuser8240]

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

[@uncreated2400]

I remember having 6-8 mix lego sets of Ninjago and Chima, absolutely loved both of them 😭

[@olliebroughton2539]

I remember getting a few of those speedorz when they came out, they were sick!
