The Legends of Chima

Not much is known about this theme. We know that the name 'Legends of Chima' was trademarked by LEGO last month. At least six sets, and five minifigures are known to have been produced for the first wave of the theme.

On September 12, images for the new theme were spotted on eBay after someone sold a water-marked 'Confidential' version of set 70113.

The theme bears significant resemblance to Ninjago as it features 'Battle' type sets, similar to the Spinjitzu spinners and arenas.

Below is the official description translated by Google translate and tidied up by Brickset:

The kingdom of Chima is a magical land in which very advanced species dominate. These creatures speak and act like people. They use vehicles and machines and live in amazing castles and fortresses. They have claws, teeth, tails, and some are equipped with wings. Now they are at war with each other...

Chima was once a pure, natural paradise, but heavily armed barbarian species have changed it and now best friends have become sworn enemies of each other. Ruthless weapons destroyed the once sacred temples. Blood-thirsty vehicles battle each other in fatal duels in the forest.

The creatures are fiercely fighting over a powerful natural resource called Chi. which is the source of life but also unimaginable destruction.

Only a few brave heroes in Chima understand the true nature of Chi, and that its misuse leads to the total destruction of Chima. The stories of these heroes and those who want to destroy them are known as ’The Legends of Chima'".

The current rumoured sets are as follows:

• 70000 Razcal's Raven Glider
• 70001 Crawley's Reptile Gripper
• 70002 Lennox's Lion Buggy
• 70003 Eris' Eagle Hunter
• 70004 Wakz' Wolf Tracker
• 70005 Laval's Lion Quad
• 70006 Cragger's Croc-Boat Headquarters
• 700012 Razar's Chi Robber

• 70100 Speedorz Fire Ring
• 70101 Speedorz Target Practice
• 70102 Chi Waterfall
• 70103 Speedorz Rock Bowling
• 70113 Chi Battles
