Described by LEGO as a stunning 4-story model featuring a mechanic workshop, two working cranes, and for the first time ever, the ability to create and customise a posable mech toy complete with a selection of armor and stickers. 

The set also features vibrant apartments, bustling stores, and delightful restaurants, each designed to be removed and played with separately. 

Customisable mech

There is a mech under construction at the workshops.  The mech can be displayed the platform in the mech bay, which has a moving play function. The mech frame starting point seems ripe for customisation, a great play function.

Minifigures

The set comes with 10 minifigures, including Zane, Pixal, and the never-seen-before characters Dorama, Dr. LaRow, Harumi, and Twitchy Tim.

Here's a closer view of Dorama, Dr. LaRow, Harumi, and Twitchy Tim from the product images.

New elements

We only spotted a couple of new recoloured elements when scrolling through the press images. Let us know if you can see more.

• Surfboard in Red  (90397)
• Paint brush with Dark Blue tip (93552) 

Play functions

As mentioned, LEGO describe the mech as a play function saying there is "...the ability to create and customise a posable mech toy complete with a selection of armor and stickers".

You can see the worm gears in the image, the mechanism moves the platform forwards and backwards.

There are two working cranes; one on the roof and another within the workshops.

It looks like this garage door can be raised and lowered via the gear on the adjacent wall.

Roofs

It is always fun spotting the unusual methods used to make roofs in Ninjago City sets.  Utilising  the modified 1x2 plate with catapult  (88289) is a great idea, while minifigure seats are used on the top floor.

There are always some great sticker graphics in the Ninjago City sets. We spotted a couple of references to retired themes LEGO® Fabuland and LEGO® Paradisa in the images, but it will be nice to see the whole sticker sheet.

Modular

It is a modular set that is compatible with other Ninjago City sets, including 71741 City Gardens and 71799 City Markets.  The set on the left is 71799 Ninjago City Markets which we reviewed back in 2023.

71837 NINJAGO® City Workshops will will be available for purchase starting 1 March 2025.
