Designer Christopher Stamp commented, "We also emphasised the importance of specialised vehicles for each of the ninja, not only because they look great on screen but also because they are a lot of fun to build and play with as a physical toy.
For instance, Warner Bros. actually suggested that Kai should pilot a mech in the movie and gave some indication of how it might look before a Lego designer was able to create a set to be released in conjunction with the film.
The Lego sets released included Spinjitzu Training Dojo, Ninjago City Chase, Master Falls, Manta Ray Bomber, Flying Jelly Sub, Water Strider, Green Ninja Mech Dragon, Garma Mecha Man, Lightning Jet, Fire Mech, Ice Tank, Temple of the Ultimate Ultimate Weapon, Destiny's Bounty and Ninjago City.
[19] The Lego Ninjago Movie Video Game was released on 22 September 2017 and included a Kendo Lloyd minifigure as a free gift.
It connected to the regular modulars and the Ninjago City, with which it shared the basic layout of river, bottom-levelled "old-world", and middle-levelled "street".
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.
A range of The Lego Ninjago Movie BrickHeadz was released in September 2017, which included Lloyd and Master Wu as buildable characters.
[32][33] In June 2016, the cast was announced to include Jackie Chan, Dave Franco, Michael Peña, Abbi Jacobson, Kumail Nanjiani, Zach Woods and Fred Armisen.
[36] The president of Hollywood sits down with Emmet and changes up the plot of The Lego Movie to prominently feature ninjas for marketing purposes.
They eventually decide to create a new ninja based film, titled "The super-crunchy ninja skateboard party movie with pratfalls slash physical comedy and cute furry animals for the international audience" which the short jokingly states became the biggest box-office bomb in the history of cinema.
The Master is a 2016 animated short film written and directed by Jon Saunders, co-written by Ross Evans, Carey Yost and Remington D. Donovan and produced by Ryan Halprin.
The short film was released on 23 September 2016, with Warner Animation Group's Storks, as well as early showings of The Lego Batman Movie in the United Kingdom.
It stars Jackie Chan as Master Wu, Abbi Jacobson as The Chicken, and Justin Theroux as Narrator.
Zane's Stand Up Promo is a short film included on the home media release of The Lego Ninjago Movie.
[40][41] The Lego-themed sandbox game titled Lego Worlds also features the characters and locations from the film in the form of downloadable content and was released on 7 March 2017.
An accompanying publication aimed at older children was published, titled The Ninjago Movie Essential Guide.
It also listed the Destiny's Bounty (set number: 70618) in eighth place, commenting that it was "A highly detailed and exquisitely-designed vessel".
