Okay, so I just watched the [rather depressing] episode of The Brick Show where they announced that Ninjago would end in 2013 after one wave.
After that, I immediately started researching an explanation for this, and came up with this quote. It's from the same guy who announced it would end in 2013, Kevin Hinkley -
"Great recap Sumiki!
Allow me to provide a bit of clarity on the Ninjago update. Unfortunately, it was a slight miscommunication on my part. Things are constantly changing and evolving in our business and my last report had shown Ninjago ending at 2012. I did a bit of additional research after receiving so many follow up questions at the event and now via email, Flickr and PMs and can confirm that it will still be on the shelves in 2013. However, there are no plans beyond that. Of course, that, like anything in our business can change. The line has truly been successful, but we want to be very careful to exit the theme at the right time as to avoid falling into the state where the products are no longer as popular and discounts have to be made to move inventory. I hope this helps, and I appreciate your support of both the LEGO Brand and our Ninjago theme. However, that being said, you will still love some of the great themes launching next year! My apologies for the inconvenience this may have caused- you can now return to your regularly scheduled programing already in progress.
Regards, Kevin"
So, maybe we'll have another full year of Ninjago, maybe we're living the last couple months as we speak. A lot can change in a year, so you never know.
Just thought I'd share that with you. Thanks!
