You forgot to mention LEGO Dimensions
Ive got a lego chima poster, this makes me remember my childhood
I won Croc Swamp Hideout 70014 in a competition
I actually brought a Few Sets and I had one on My Birthday and I still love it at The Time it was around I had so many memories I had with it
Iâm 5th!
It's quite ironic that Ninjago was intended to be forgotten after a few years but became the next big thing, and Chima was intended to be the next big thing but was forgotten after a few years in favor of ninjago.
yeah itâs just because Ninjagos the best
@@Noah_Kai2 Nope. Ninjago is edgy, racist, generic. I can write whole thousand-word essays on why Chima is better. Can you do that without strawmanning/skipping over arguments, like most Milkjago fans do?
@@gone9820I can say that ninjago exaggerates asian culture, but racist is a stretch.
@@gone9820 dude. Itâs an opinion, also thereâs a reason it succeeded and chima didnt.
@@Noah_Kai2 It succeded because it was simple enough for children to understand, "dark" or edgy enough to stick with its audience. Chima's show was plain childish and painful to watch through, but Ninjago is genuinely worse, not even because its edgy, but also because of the reasons I stated on my other comment. Opinion or not, Chima is better, not even because of the worldbuilding (people would brush it off as an opinion), but because atleast it doesn't blatantly profit off others like a vulture.
To this day, the idea of an arial vehicle that can transform into a base is still one of Lego's most innovative ideas, and something I would like to see more media do.
Actually, there was at least one other set with similar properties. In Atlantis there was a research base that could transform into a big submarine. And though flying and sailing is not the same, the playability does not really change that much. For example, I pretended that it's not an underwater base, but a surface one, and that it transforms not into a submarine, but a spaceship instead.
@@outcast4087 Wow, that's awesome! What's the set number?
@@Pk-glitch it does not allow me to type in the number properly, for some reason. It's Atlantis exploration HQ, you could find it that way.
Chima and Ninjago were my favorite lego themes as a kid. I have so much nostalgia for them, a d it sucks that Chima just kinda ended. Like almost every lego has a grand finale for their final waves, but Chima's ending wasn't even announced, it just ended all of a sudden
I hate chima

Man this really brought me back, I loved Chima. I remember religiously watching the show, playing the mobile game, building sets, and even playing the 3ds game. I went to LEGOland while chima was in its prime too, and man, those were good days. I hope they bring it back
Same, I remember watching a chima episode for the first time days before going to legoland, then I got two chima polybags in the hotel room locker, then I watched the Chima 4D movie, then my parents bought me Crominus' Speedor, the good old days
I remember Lavalâs dad being impossible to beat lol. Good times
Religiously watching Chima?
Can you explain a little bit more?
@@YummyCracker Hyperbole. lmao
Same, I've wished lego brings it back one day, it got me into Lego more in the first place.
Me and my siblings entered that Lego competition years ago. We thought we had a great design. But we did not win, still cool to see that it was shown in this video
Hello verified person
@@justatheoontheinternetsimp
I remember that contest. The prize was u get a bunch of legs chima sets rights? I also thought i made a cool design but I didnât win.
Thats the problem with a lot of these contests for children that allow adults to enter, Kids are almost never gonna win them. Kids don't have the funds or the skills necessary to build the kind of builds that win contests, with probably only a dozen boxed sets and low quality builds from those sets on average. Its why competitive games that allow kids to enter them tend to split them up between junior and senior divisions, Kids aren't gonna win games against an adult unless that kid is REALLY good, the adult is REALLY bad, or the adult lets them win. Lego should really do something similar for their contests, have 2 of them: One for adults and one for kids. That way everyone wins.
When I was younger, I loved China more than ninjago. I have such fond memories of building the sets and watching the show. It was incredible and should be marked in Lego history.
I also love china, I love the new chinese new year sets.
Bro it's chima
Chima is probably the theme that really got me into legos . I was watching the series again and again and had about half of all chima sets . It is quite unfortunate they stopped it , i still hope one day they'll bring it back for nostalgia or produce an other series around it .
Chima and the Creator, City, basic and classic sets got me into Lego as well.
This show bought me into ninjago, can't believe it has almost been 8 years since it ended. Next year it will have been 10 years since it started.
Wow its been that long ago !? My godness i feel old now.
I LOVED chima as a kid! I kinda grew up with this theme TBH! I can see why some people would hate it, but I personally really did love chima!
Chima, Chima, CHIMA! IN A NINJAGO CHANNEL HOW DISRESPECTFUL!
Same
i have lego chima on display in front of me lol
@@argaxolotolrobloxgamer1362 chill lol
I liked chima too
I hope it comes back one day.
Chima didn't kill Ninjago guys... Ninjago needed to take an break back then.
I love Chima. The theme and the show will always have a place in my heart. Because if it wasn't for Chima, I would have never gotten into Lego. R.I.P Chima. And who knows? With Tommy leaving Ninjago, hopefully he can bring back Chima. And Nexo Knights.
I liked chima as well, so far I got the Rogon's Rhino Rock Flinger from eBay for almost ÂŁ30, Great set :)
They need to make a Ninjago Chima crossover season. Chima is one of the 16 Realms after all.
Yea
No. Please dont. As a Chima fan, no.
They already did in some way. During the final of season 5, while morrow and Lloyd's were fighting, there was a Chima section.
@@challenge9541 that was just a brief reference. We need a full season where the ninja travel to chima, meet the Chima animals, and maybe even try out chi.
@@Supasmartguy Or other way around. I liked both of the series.
I LOVED Chima. I think it has been LEGO's most creative theme by far. I grew up playing the Speedorz game. It's too bad it got cancelled. My favorite set is the Phoenix Temple. I bought it earlier this year.
Also the show was supposed to have a fourth season. They still have the script in the archives.
I wonder if the fourth season was going to feature dinosaur tribes. I mean if you think about there were the Sabertooths, Mammoths, Vultures, and Ice Bears. But now that they are all cured. What tribes could rise up and become the enemy ? Simple : dinosaurs. One of the early concept art of Chima Wave 3 actually has a dinosaur ( T Rex or Raptor ) ice hunter. I heard multiple times fans wanted dragons or sea creatures in Chima. But dinosaurs were what I heard a lot of fans wanted. A CZcamsr ( can't remember his name though ) made a custom season of Chima where dinosaurs attacked Chima ( not in minifig form but the large molds from JW ). One thing I do remember about this custom series was it stopped after the episode " The Tunnel Cat Cave".
I loved Lego Chima!!!
I I loved the idea of Chima and had most of the sets. This was the first Lego line that I tried to collect every set for, and if it werenât for Chima I wouldnât be as big of a Lego fan as I am today.
I sold the sets a while back though.
Same, I'm keeping all my chima sets though, I refuse to get rid of them. I liked Season 2 and 3 best.
Bro Chima was amazing and the first theme that really got me into LEGO. If it wasnât for Chima I wouldnât be playing with LEGO today.
Hi brick legends!
Ik bro chima was by far imo the best lego theme and I still buy it to this day. If it wasnât for chima, my childhood would be much more boring.
Honestly this theme had A LOT, and I really mean A LOT, of lost/failed potential; such as a bunch of scrapped animal-tribes, pieces, vehicles and the like.
For more information i'd highly recommend watching DuckBricks's videos on the matter of scrapped content relating to "The Legends of Chima", and he actually has four videos about it; so yeah, there's quite a bit of scrapped content for the franchise.
An edit: So long as this comment doesn't get a "heart" by then i'll edit this comment to include a list of all the TLoC sets I own at some later point in time as I don't have the time to do so yet.
Rather than edit your comment, simply reply to it with the list you mentioned.
@@Eidolon1andOnly Yeah, I guess, but I feel like replying to ones own comment is weird.
@@gameman3981 Yeah, but it would solve the problem of if you get a heart.
@@Eidolon1andOnly I suppose so.
@@gameman3981 looks like you got a heart
Back in lockdown when I was revisiting my Chima phase, I thought it was very unfortunate that LEGO favoured only 5 out of the 8 main tribes, only giving us five Legend Beasts. To this day I am still working on custom Rhino and Raven beasts (even ordering the minifigures needed, Rogon and Razar.
Thank you so much for making this video. Legends of Chima was the first ever theme that introduced me to LEGO (by a good friend of mine who gave me a Legends of Chima activity book). LOC will forever hold a special place in my heart :)
The theme that brought me back into Lego
> Saw Lego Crocodiles, bought a few for my desk
> Loved them
> Got more, watched the show
> Fully invested
I now buy Lego regularly
i love the lego crocodiles and wolves too
i also wanna start a collection of ninjago snakes, i find them cute asf
Maybe it's a little weird, but as a kid I always mixed Chima with Thundercats.
I never really cared for either, so they just blended together in my mind and I'd pass by Chima stuff and think "Huh, Thundercats LEGO."
That's actually fairly accurate since the network brought in Chima as a cheaper alternative to the 2011 Thundercats.
Both shows have a lion prince protagonist with red hair, so it's an understandable mixup.
Literally thought the same thing
Iâd love to see some sort of remaster or anniversary sets for Chima since weâre near itâs 10 year anniversary.
I loved this LEGO theme so much that it was one of my favorites, because it had anthropomorphic animals. Something that you cannot find in any other LEGO theme, (Except Vidiyo and Ninjago, but they just only have anthropomorphic snakes and people who turn into animals, but thatâs basically it), I miss it so much that I got a post on LEGO Life going to ask LEGO to bring it back. My love for Chima got me into âZootopiaâ, and other works of fiction that have those kinds of characters. Now anthropomorphic animal fantasy/fiction is my most favorite genre of fiction. And itâs all thanks to LEGO: Legends of Chima. (Also âThe Lion Kingâ, âMadagascarâ, âRobin Hoodâ, etc.)
you use every word but furry
So basically it made you a furry đ€š
It sounds like youâre a furry
Ninjago and Chima were my fav back in the day
This video brings back so many memories, I remember being in San Diego in 2013 and visiting legoland every month, I couldnât express my joy when I bought these two foam swords representing this lion and crocodile... Good times
Chima was and still is one of the best Lego lines ngl. My favorite is the icebear claw dropper. But I still hold a special place on my shelf for the mammoth stomper.
I really liked the chima sets, they had pretty cool minifig molds and more cool printing
We still have a bunch of Chima sets, even a board game, but the one kit I always liked but never bought was Gorzanâs(?) Gorilla Mech.
I remember liking chima a lot. I didn't get very many sets because overall it's not exactly the type of sets I'm into. I prefer castle, pirates and star wars. But I still thought chima was cool, and a nice change of pace, something different. My personal favorite tribes were the wolves and eagles.
Besides Ninjago, Hero Factory and Chima were my two favourite themes. It is disappointing to me that both were abandoned after quite a short time compared to other themes.
dude i was such a big fun of chima as a kid and have a decent collection , idk why it died out , my whole class collected these. chima was the most creative and inovative thing made at the time
My favorite seasons from the show were season 2 and 3, The Legend beasts were fun sets and I got all five and those sets got my interest in chima :)
I hope Chima comes back one day.
My favorite Chima memories will always be when my brother bought me the Lion Chi Temple for my 11th birthday. It's been in pieces for years, but I will always remember that.
Chima holds a special place in my heart. I loved it, still do and I'm sad, that i don't have some sets that look amazing â€ïž
chima is always going to be in our hearts
Chima was the reason I got a 3DS and was what got me into Ninjago a year later (2014/2015). I rewatched the second season a year ago and it was nostalgic and funny. Definitely going to rewatch it again
As a kid I loved Chima. The eagle airplane build from the first wave (can't remember the name for the life of me) was the first large scale LEGO build I had ever made. That build kinda cemented my love for LEGO in the first place. I was unhappy they took it off the shelves but now that I actually know the reason I guess it kinda made sense.
Also the Legends of Chima TV Series is the only series I have ever watched completely and loved every bit of it.
Most of LEGO's non-one-shot themes tend to have two release waves in a year, a winter/spring wave and a summer/fall wave. This applied to Chima too, so I'd say it had 5 waves rather than 3.
W/Sp 2013: Debt wave, introduced speedorz and the theme in general
Su/F 2013: 2nd wave, introduced gorillas, ultrabuilds
W/Sp 2014: 3rd wave, outlands arc, legend beasts, introduced rhinos bats spiders & scorpions
Su/F 2014: 4th wave, fire&ice arc, new speedorz design, 2nd ultrabuilds wave
W/Sp 2015: 5th wave, continuation/conclusion of fire&ice arc, tribe packs, introduction of bears
This gave me the idea to build a giant chima moc with all my old sets!
that lego speedorz mobile gameplay was a rush of brain melting nostalgia that I had no idea I had.
Both me an my friends LOVED Lego Chima and we didn't understand why it got discontinued.
Whenever I went to the store as a young kid, I always fell in love with all the Lego Chima sets. I only ever got one, but that was my favorite set for forever.
Dude, this and Speed Champions are my two all-time favorite LEGO themes, and Chima just doesn't get enough love these days.
I think something that could've helped was more setpieces, as you said, there's only so many ways you can make a lion car.
That's something I've wondered a lot recently but it does feel like ever since Ninjago hit the scene Lego has been less and less interested in doing setpieces, which is a shame because they were always my favorite kind of set.
I remember waking up on Saturdays to watch the cartoon. That, PokĂ©mon, Beyblade, and (I think, donât remember if it was still going at the time) Bakugan were the highlights of my weekends back then as a kid.
smoothest ad transition ever
thanks for this amazing video! Chima was my first serious LEGO intrest. I have bunch of a figures, ten magazines, all legendary beasts, three polybags and Vardy's Vulture:)
The fact that Ninjago and Chima are in the same universe is awesome.
When I was a kid, I remember going to the library and getting all of the LEGO chima books they had. I also got all of the chima books that came to the book fair at my school.
Those were the daysâŠ.
The legend of Chima sets were my childhood. I was a massive fan of the LEGO sets in 2013 and was angry at LEGO for discontinuing the themeđ If I find a Chima set, I'll definitely buy it because it represents my childhood
Same lol
Ik bro chima was my childhood and it is still to this day my favorite lego theme.
My Eagle Interceptor is actually still sitting on my shelf in my room. it's actually my second copy of the set since the other one was dismantled for parts by my siblings, and even this one is missing some pieces, but it's there.
I got the lion chi temple earlier this year on brick link and I got it new in box itâs a amazing chima set
I remember I only got just ONE set from this franchise. That was number 70000, Razcalâs Glider. I also vividly remember reading those old LEGO Club magazines & seeing those ads for LEGO Chima. Good times..
Chima was my favourite theme when it was out. I got the Lion Chi Temple for Christmas and adored it. I also built a full sized temple from the show in Minecraft. Sad to see how it ended up
Thatâs cool that of the two of those huge sets that were released one was opened and documented and the other was left sealed, that way someone got to enjoy the set and thereâs still a sealed version of the set
i literally have had the flying phoenix temple and its still together after 7 years. also i gotta say your videos never get old.
i dont specifically remember watching the show or buying any chima sets but i keep seeing minifigures from it lying around and some remains of sets
I have A LOT of Chima sets and love every one of them, I really loved the theme back in the day. Good memories
I remember that my first ever Lego set was Cragger's boat. Since that I had most of the main sets of wave 1 and wave 2
God i loved chima as a kid. I had all of the first batch of ultrabuilds, i had all 5 legend beasts, I even had the mammoth mech thing and the lion castle. I loved both Chima and Ninjago equally as kids, and i was really sad when they discontinued chima. Hopefully Chima can get a revival.
I had quite the Chima collection in the early days! My favorite (still to this day) is the Lion Chi Temple. I regret to tell that I sold them all off in 2019. I wish I hadn't...
I never bought any Chima sets, but I watched the whole series some years back. Iâd be glad to do it again. I loved it.
Quick question. How do we get down from here?
so I actually grew up with the ninjago sets. But my best friend had a lot of chima sets and I became invested into the series. I started to like both. I even remember entering the contest for the big chima box.
I grew up playing with chima sets and watching the show on tv. When the line got canceled i thought they were writing the script for the next season witch i thought it would be dinosaurs
Around Christmas time me and my brother were asking for the lion chi temple and just that it seemed impossible that we would get it but when we did it was amazing. One of the best moments of my life.
My cousin loved Chima. I don't remember what sets he had, but he loved the lion character and he had a speedorz related to him.
Chima was my personal favorite theme when I was younger, I remember wanting the mammoth so bad and not being able to get it, but regardless the nostalgia from Chima is way too much, I wish theyâd give Chima another chance.
Iâm literally rebuilding all of my old chima sets, it is making me so nostalgic.
Chima was the theme that introduced me to lego.
My first ever lego set was a speedors set and I wished I could get more chima sets(but eventually I started liking star wars more so I never really bought another set)
I played the mobile game for quiet a while and then watched the whole series
WOW! I remember loving this theme, and when I was on holiday in the US, (I was 5) I begged my parents to buy Craggerâs command ship, and then when I got home I saw the set on Australian shelves too soâŠ.
I still miss Chima's online game, also, I somewhat remember that there were some Legandary Beasts for the Scorpion, Spider and Bat tribes that would fight the ones of the original 8 tribes
i remember from a couple years ago when we went to lego land california there was this building where some one would ask you questions and if you got it right you got one of those alligator speedorz and i thought they were the coolest thing in fact i still have all 2-4 that we got super fun to play with.
I had a lot of Chima sets as a kid. Like, a lot. We had the lion temple, croc hideout, several of the speedorz, and a lot of vehicles. Always wondered what happened to it.
I believe I only ever got a few chima sets but there is only 2 I remember which are Gorzans Gorilla striker and the croc swam hideout. I thought the hideout was a super cool play set with tons of features and I remember playing with it a lot. But after the first wave I didnât buy any more sets. I was always a lego Star Wars fan and 2014 and 2015 were some of the best years so it makes sense why I didnt buy more chima sets later.
Man I miss Chima even more now. I have the lion temple, honestly one of my favorite builds because of the bridge. I also have the big phenoix vehicle but i wish it was better because mine never did work properly
I got the eagle speeder thing from the first wave. I was getting to an age where I was overall less interested in toys, but idk I thought the eagle figure looked cool. It's still in my room.
I remember there was a store my family went to once when we lived in Arkansas. It was called Bargain Hunt, and I got Laval's Fire Lion for $40 and it was epic. My brother got the Mammoth set which is one of the coolest sets there is. This was in first grade so I don't remember the details, but I think Bargain Hunt was in Tennessee or Missouri.
Absolutely loved chima growing up and still do. I think I have around 20-30 of the main sets, I started recollecting 2 years ago. Lion chi temple is my absolute favorite, but rogonâs rock flinger isnât talked about as much and I always find myself grabbing that set. Would love to see the theme comeback for a 10th anniversary wave.
i adored lego chima, i had a lot of sets, and my whole attic was filled with sets.
i would love to see it come back, but im not counting on it
I have so many chima sets! And i am also trying to get the big one from the person who didn't open it! I loved that theme! And would love to add it to my collection!
I loved the show so much as a kid
I don't know why Lego's own IPs are always so friggin _cool._ Bionicles, Ninjago, Chima...
I had the Eris Interceptor and the Eglor bike... So many memories I also had watching the cartoon...
Wow, this video was pretty nostalgic i remember having pretty half of these sets, I still remember having that Mammoth đ
I loved chima. I watched the whole series, bought a couple sets, played with said sets which resulted in many of them breaking and I have the whole series on dvd
My younger cousin loved Chima. I grew up with and loved Bionicle..
RIP the nostalgia
Characters from lego Chima also appeared once in Ninjago show
My favorites are the tracked lion truck and the tiger hq vehicle
Growing up I had a few China sets and still have them today, I just thought it was a neat idea. Loved the vid!
I actually never bought a Chima set but I did have this Chima book when I was like, four or five years old!
I only ever had one Chima set, it was the Chi Worriz buildable figure. He has since fallen apart and his remains became part of the body of Bud Light Beer, the mechanical menace of the Galactic Alliance.
I still have all my 2014 Chima Ultrabuild sets. I love those.
Alright, time to find the 2013 ones.
I have 6 sets of Lego Chima, 3 speedorz, Worryz's Combat Lair, the spider vehicle and the croc tank, I loved Chima so much
Chima, Nexo knights, hidden side: all killed by ninjago
Monkey kid: haha...I'm in danger
There was a small crossover moment during the Ninjago Haunted season. When Lloyd and Morrow i believe, fight for the realm crystal, they hop dimensions. One of them is the Legends Of Chima realm.
Unpopular opinion, but I personally prefer Chima over Ninjago. Getting animal-themed vehicles is certainly far more interesting than the dozens of generic, bland ninja vehicles which we still get year after year.
At least ninjago dont break after 2 secondsđđđ
ââ@@bogoljubsimovic7329bro took it personally. Eat yo white bread and shut up
â@@bogoljubsimovic7329you know that the Lego is the same right?
I didn't get many chima sets, but I really appreciate the theme. I really hope we get something similar soon (or castle/pirate)
For parts, Chima is really cool but I will never forgive it for taking away the Thundercats Reboot that we had
omg i had the flying pheonix fire temple! i remember being obsessed with the fire animals' weapons, tormax's bow was sick!! i still have the set in my room minus the ice vehicle, i have no idea where that is đ€Ł
The cartoon is nostalgic to me! I used to watch it! đą
Same, I've been rewatching Season 2 because it was my favorite season of the show.
I grew up with this theme. I had the big crocodile castle, but sadly it's now just a bunch of pieces. I'm planning on rebuilding it though.
I got 2 speedors, but both didnt unclude extra builds (1 isnt even lego i think and 1 said it contained). I had also god an eris with 2x right hand, and also got the little vehicle of the wolves. Most of my lego chima was through magazines, and good chubk of them were given to me by my aunt.
