LEGO NINJAGO Ultimate Ninja! - Illustrated Book with 1 Minifigure
Ninjago fans, let's talk books and bricks!
So here we are with something a little different from the usual sets-Ultimate Ninja!, an illustrated LEGO® NINJAGO® book that comes bundled with an exclusive minifigure. Set number 5010054, this release delivers the best of both worlds: the lore-rich storytelling that makes Ninjago so compelling, and a tangible piece of the action in minifigure form.
What You Get
This book isn't just a coffee-table showpiece (though it definitely looks good on one). The illustrated pages dive into Ninjago's universe with vibrant artwork and narratives that explore the ninja heroes, their adversaries, and the elemental powers that fuel their adventures. Whether you're catching up on the latest wave or revisiting classic moments, the format makes it accessible for younger readers and engaging for adult fans who appreciate the storytelling depth Ninjago has built over the years.
But here's the kicker: the included minifigure. This exclusive figure is part of the appeal-often a character tied to the book's narrative or a limited variant that you won't find in standard sets. That alone elevates this from "just a book" to a genuine collectible.
Build Quality and Design
The book itself features high-quality printing with thick, glossy pages. The illustrations are detailed and colorful, capturing the kinetic energy of Ninjago's world. The minifigure packaging is secure, usually tucked into a compartment or poly bag within the book, ensuring it arrives in mint condition.
The minifigure is the surprise MVP here-it's always cool to see an exclusive that complements the storytelling rather than feeling like an afterthought.
Collector Notes
For display builders, this sits nicely on a shelf alongside your other Ninjago sets, adding a literary dimension to your collection. For minifigure collectors, the exclusive figure is a must-have-these book-bundled minifigs often become harder to find as the books go out of print. Parents and educators will appreciate how it bridges reading and building, making it a solid gift for kids who love both storytelling and hands-on play.
At $8.99, it's priced competitively for what you're getting. That's less than the cost of many impulse sets, and you're walking away with both content and a collectible.
Display and Play Ideas
The book looks great propped up on a stand or leaning against a modular building display. The minifigure can join your existing Ninjago lineup, slot into a custom scene, or even become part of a rotating "minifig of the month" display if you've got a dedicated showcase. If you're into photography, the book makes for a great background element in minifigure photo shoots-especially if you're staging a dojo or training scene.
You could also use the book as part of a kids' reading nook, paired with other Ninjago sets to create an immersive play-and-read space. The illustrations can spark MOC ideas-pull inspiration from the artwork and build your own version of a scene or location.
