How to make a successful LEGO theme about ninjas:

1. Be colorful! Give those ninjas summa those rainbow swag rags! Don't worry about practicality or efficiency, and don't look for an explanation.

2. Make them superheroes! Ninjas go around saving peoples lives and protecting property ALL THE TIME! That's what defines them as ninjas! Such compassionate little sweethearts. <3

3. Put gold in their somewhere.

4. Try to appeal to the current trends! For example, in 2011, kids were into ninjas and How to Train your Dragon, so we made a theme about people collecting gold things and saving the world! What, that sounds like everything we make? Well I got a surprise for you, mister! They wear Ninja hoods, flip around, and we even gave them pet dragons that they fly around for a couple episodes!

5. Give them vehicles! What else can their sets be? Places for them to fight with cinematic functions? Mini rooftops that you can put on your desk, with a ninja on time of one? Mythical beasts from old Japanese lore?

Pfffffffffffffffffffft.

6. NOBODY CAN DIE. IF YOU KILLED SOMEBODY OFF BEFORE READING THIS, I SWEAR IF YOU DONTBRINGHIMBACKTOLIFEORMAKEHIMAGOODGUYRIGHTNOWIWILLHUNTYOUDOWN

7. Following a very specific formula, using every cliche in the book, and being completely uninspired in every aspect is the best way to make tons of money without using a single brain cell!

"A ninja (忍者?) or shinobi (忍び?) was a covert agent or mercenary in feudal Japan. The functions of the ninja included espionage, sabotage, infiltration, and assassination, and open combat in certain situations. Their covert methods of waging war contrasted the ninja with the samurai, who observed strict rules about honor and combat."
