I have received information from LEGO that the VIP launch of Ninjago City Gardens will be going live at 8PM AEDT tonight.
I would strongly suggest checking the page from 7:30PM AEDT tonight in case it goes live early.

Lego.com are hopeless with stock. I ordered one of the CNY sets a few minutes after it was launched and it’s on back order. This set also feels like a money grab. It’s the price of two modulars but doesn’t feel like it has enough value to be this price. Will most likely pass on it but mostly because I don’t have any of the other Ninjago modulars. Would love a rerelease of them though…
Goes against the grain buying at RRP, but this is such a wonderful surprise and a great way to start the new Lego year. These days I think we just have to strike whilst the iron is hot (or in this case, in stock).
Thanks for the heads up on this Michael, much appreciated.
An RRP purchase for me, too – a little too excited about this one.
The pricing does seems a bit out of whack, though. Just saw that Canadians are paying $399 while we are paying $499, yet the exchange rate is pretty much 1:1 ????
Lego is always much higher priced in Aus. Provably because we are dumb enough to pay it.
Does anyone know if this set will be available at any of the other retailers in time? Or is this going to be a Lego.com / Lego Store exclusive set..?
It’s listed on Lego.com as an Exclusive, so may not be available elsewhere at least for a while. The original Ninjago City was exclusive to TRU, whilst I think the Docks was available more widely.
