Each of the sets featured six core characters, named Lloyd, Kai, Jay, Nya, Zane, Cole and Master Wu.

The largest set was NINJAGO City (set number: 70620)[33][34][35][36][37][38] a 4867 piece set, which was released in late August to coincide with the release of The Lego Ninjago Movie. Although not advertised as a modular building, it featured the same structure as the regular modulars with a 32 × 32 stud baseplate, building connectors and a river matching the same dimensions as the sidewalk. It was a huge multi-level model with themed levels. The bottom level contained the "old world" with an old fashioned fish market; the middle level contained "the street" with a modern comic store, crab restaurant and a retail store; and the top level, named "high rise", contained a sushi restaurant topped with a "Dragon Gate" (see Feng shui) and communications assembly, as well as a small living apartment for the "Green Ninja" character Lloyd Garmadon and his mother. The set included 16 different minifigures.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Series (set number: 71019) was released around the world on 1 August 2017 as a sub-brand of the Lego Minifigures theme. It consisted of 20 characters instead of the usual 16.[39][40]

The second wave sets was released on 2 December 2017.[41][42][43] The five sets were Lloyd - Spinjitzu Master (set number: 70628),[44][45] Piranha Attack (set number: 70629),[44][45][46] Garmadon's Volcano Lair (set number: 70631),[44][45][47] Quake Mech (set number: 70632)[44][45][48] and garmadon, Garmadon, GARMADON!

Additional sets were released as a sub-brand of the Lego Brickheadz theme.[56][57] The Lego Ninjago Movie Video Game was released on 22 September 2017 and also included a Kendo Lloyd minifigure as a free gift.[lower-alpha 2]

In 2018, NINJAGO City Docks (set number: 70657)[58][59] a large set with 3553 pieces was released on 1 August 2018 as a third wave set. It connected to the regular modulars and the NINJAGO City (set number: 70620), with which it shared the basic layout of river, bottom-leveled "old-world", and middle-leveled "street". Unlike its predecessor, it did not feature the "high-rise"-levels, but extended over an enlarged baseplate of 48 x 32 studs. The bottom levels contained the "old world" with a harbour, a grocer, and a sculptor's workshop, as well as a dojo, a map room, and a small home. The "street" levels hosted a tea room and an arcade. The set included 14 different minifigures.

Later, it was announced that the theme would be discontinued and no longer be available at LEGO Store or online shop.
