Why Does LEGO Keep Doing This?

LEGO has once again messed up and leaked new Ninjago content in another language (this time it's episodes 2 and 3 of The Elemental Mechs). As a result, it's finally time to take a look at the history of LEGO messing up Ninjago releases.

The worst leak I have actually is seen when Cartoon Network managed to somehow accidentally leak one of the parts of Possesion's finale Cursed World.

[@BoltIsCool]

I gotta say, I miss the weekly Sons of Garmadon episode releases. It was fun to see how things would turn out and I haven’t really felt that way since March of the Oni. I gotta say though, Netflix was our savior for Ninjago episodes honestly

[@emzzz79]

for real man i still remember those early 2018 days when me and my bro waited for one episode to drop every saturday and that filled me and my brother with hype for the upcoming episode to come.

[@midnight_77]

@@BoltIsCool SoG is what kept me interested. All my siblings stopped watching but after a while I decided to watch episodes 1-7 of SoG, and watched the rest as they came out. Ep. 8 was the first episode I ever watched on release and Ep. 9 is my favorite in the series to this day. I have a lot of fond memories of Seasons 8 and 9 specifically. Good times.

I remember how hilarious it was having seen all of Seabound on KZbin and such and moving on just to see its first Teaser Trailer nearly half a year later. It's such a uniquely weird and funny situation.

[@optimus_wide]

Just wanna mention that German Netflix didn't add Crystalized until a whole year after it was initially aired. Even Dragons rising was completely added there before Crystalized

[@Crusty783]

💀💀idk if thats better or worse than the UK. we got crystalized when you did but dont have DR yet

[@optimus_wide]

@Crusty783 honestly I'd say you have it worse, simply because Dragons rising is apparently missing

[@FieryZaneStudios]

The entire S2PT2 just leaked 3 months early…

[@michaelsator7222]

I really liked the counter on the Lego Website for Dragons rising part 1, it showed exactly where and when you can watch the episode in your language. They should please keep this for the next sessions forward.

[@Crusty783]

I'd be really surprised if they didn't keep it, given how it made a comeback for Dragons Rising S1 Part 2

[@stephenmoroney7081]

crust :YOU CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS lego :try and stop me

[@Person-wz6iy]

Unrelated, but part of me has been wondering, does Ninjago have any Deleted Scenes? I don't mean ideas that were scrapped or just in early scripts, I mean scenes that were Storyboarded, temp animated or fully animated that were cut from the final product. Similar to the Mr. E's identity reveal from Dead Man's Squal. Maybe if we got a big Blu ray release of the series we might see something, but that would be fairly unlikely in the streaming era.

[@shortstackofpancakes13]

Yeah, I still really want DVDs/Blu ray for season 9 onwards

[@iwanek4382]

One thing about the schedule that infuriates me to this day is what they did with Possession. On the home page of the polish Cartoon Network Website there was a banner which clearly stated that season 5 of Ninjago masters of spinjitzu would start airing June 8th 2015. Confirmed date from an official source. I was the first person to report it. I informed the community about it and everything only to find out that that on that day they played season 1 reruns instead and season 5 wouldn't premiere until the 22nd. They lied to me and cost me all my credibility!

[@Lastbourne]

Ninjago airing schedule will always be better than Miraculous

[@Katsrule-gc8xt]

So true

[@griffysfnafchannel]

honestly ninjago is legos biggest moneymaker, Lego needs to start treating episode leaks like they matter.

[@Crusty783]

absolutely.. this being able to keep happening for as long as it has is crazy unprofessional

[@Thehalfbrainedbean]

"Just an other day in ninjago "

[@shortstackofpancakes13]

I remember when season 11 was coming out, it was like a journey waiting for new episodes to leak and looking for them weekly on KZbin or Cartoon Network throughout 2019. I’m really nostalgic for the leaked Ninjago episodes now, but it is better to have them come out officially on Netflix or Lego’s KZbin channel besides how there aren’t weekly releases anymore.

[@JayAndSonicYT]

Funny how There was a year Gap Between Seabound and Crystalized both in real life and in the actual Show! Coincidence???? I dont think so!

[@jazzy_burrito]

here 2 days after Dragons Rising S2 P2 leaked three months early think we got a new contender for master of the mountain

[@Crusty783]

Part 2 leak was an absolute disaster😭😭but at the very least we got the episodes rolled out in their intended chronological order💀I still think MOTM is worse for just randomly having its finale leak before its second half

[@Captain_Griff]

I remember when CartoonNetwork (the one from Romania) accidentaly leaked the demise of Master Chen , good ol' 2015 , now they barely air Ninjago

[@mufinboi975]

They also released Episode 2 on swedish so I could understand and it was a fun time.

[@legosnek]

8:15 I literally watched the Island right before Seabound came out because I couldn't find the episodes anywhere in English while they were airing

You know, Lego should just release all new episodes of Ninjago to their KZbin channel instead of Netflix. Even though the show streams on Netflix, episodes always seem to be leaked onto KZbin. On top of that, Lego usually uploads the episodes onto their channel later on a few months later anyway, so why not put the new seasons up on KZbin- maybe even in sync with the Lego sets release date?

[@JayAndSonicYT]

Im guessing Wyldfyre was the one who leaked the Dragons Rising episodes! WATCH HER DO IT AGAIN!!!

[@Crusty783]

she did it again😭

[@shannagriff]

i didn’t think i’d be so hooked to this show but now i’m sad that i watched all seasons on netflix 😭 i need a new season

Dragons Rising season 2 is dropping on April 4th, so you don't have much longer to wait now! :D

[@lbricks7631]

Yeah, I specifically remember the first 3 episodes of Seabound coming out in French on KZbin first.

[@reneflores5976]

In my country the dub was a mess, the lat spanish dub for season 11 was released before the one for season 10, it was all messy sepecially because you had to wait months for the dub (I like watching it dubbed because that's how I watched the show since I was a kid), but now with the episodes being released on netflix it's incredible because it already comes with the dub the same day the main series is released

[@TasniimAloha]

Seabound’s release schedule was really fun especially during the last week of April. Just secretly watching Ninjago episodes during Science class and then re watching all the episodes two weeks later for my birthday. Wait didn’t the first 3 episodes leak in French 3 days before Teletune … 😮 The season was doomed before it began

[@Crusty783]

OMG you're right it did, I completely forgot that happened because of how quickly the English episodes dropped after it lol

[@Angninjin22]

What I like about Lego releasing episodes is that is the perfect opportunity to watch them on the official channel of Lego, and watch them in order( happened with s8,s9 and s11, I didn't have time to watch them on CN so KZbin was my chance). Now it seems that Lego has forgotten the order of the episodes and it is a whole mess...

[@prodby3clips]

Wow i vividly remember watching the Pilot with my younger sister when it came out because it released on my birthday, so now hearing that this show is going to be 13 already....geez im only 19 but that makes me feel old.

[@GrumpyCat7]

I remember watching a live on the lego youtube channel that was one of the 24h lives of episodes of their shows but that one being for ninjago season 11 when.. I think the fire chapter just finished airing ? at that point the ice chapter was not even released yet anywhere I thought to myself huh what if wait to the last episode of the fire chapter and see what happens and who would have guessed LEGO LIVE STREAMED THE FULL ICE CHAPTER IN POLISH ON THEIR KZbin CHANNEL BEFORE CARTOON NETWORK OR ANY OTHER CUNTRY AIRED IT this single moment of seeing the ice chapter episode 1 play before my eyes on my phone and getting to watch it before anybody else was the single biggest jaw drop moment I had with this series since I found out zane was a robot XDDD

[@GrumpyCat7]

I might have gotten the story a bit wrong but I'm sure that the episodes where at least aired months before cartoon network poland did and I remember there being no pirated episodes or reviews of the ice chapter in english on youtube

[@cjbricks422]

I remember watching tv rips of Seabound before it was added to Netflix, and one very weird thing that happened in the episode where Nya and Maya witnessed Kalmaar trying to awaken Wojira was some random audio pasted over the scene and I couldn’t hear any dialogue lol

[@ThePrimeLightning]

6:20 I used to watch this dude for a while, and then he just disappeared. Might be because he leaked so much stuff

[@Crusty783]

He was also pretty hated by Ninjago fans by the end for being homophobic, a scammer, sent weird messages to people, etc. I have a series of old videos covering Al and the things he's done if that interests u

[@Bric_kproduction]

I would be lying if I said watching seasons 8 and 9 on my family computer wasn’t nostalgic I remember once I was done with my tutor class me and my brother would go the computer and watch the episode that aired that day but I really don’t want any ninjago fan to have to go through that so Lego please get you shit together and air seasons when they should be aired.

[@bbguy2245]

When you say season 12 had no issues I disagree as the spinoff episodes were released and I still remember watching them with everyone going OMG SEASON 12?!?!?!?!? then when season 12 dropped everyone was like...wut?

[@ReeGrr37]

I really don’t know if it’s accidental at this point 😂😂😂 It’s almost like there’s a troll that just likes to leak them for some reason.. I don’t know for sure but it seems likely. So confusing. But compared to everything before, DR has most definitely been the best. Leaks are extremely minimal, not sure if that makes sense. I think the mystery makes great hype! Something else I don’t understand is how certain videos are uploaded while others aren’t. One CN channel only has the first episode of s9 uploaded, a few people still have season 10 episodes up to this day (I haven’t found a single episode 97 but) etc

Why people keep separating Dragons Rising from Pilots-S15, but not "Ninjago: Masters Spinjitzu" from "Ninjago"? Either do both or none (I prefer the second option) to make it more consistent.
