The_Rancor over on the Brickset Forums has found the new LEGO Ninjago Oni Titan (70658) set available for purchase at LEGOLAND Billund.

LEGO Ninjago Build Your Own Adventure: Greatest Ninja Battles First Look
Continuing with some of the upcoming LEGO books this summer, there’s also a new LEGO Ninjago book that will be available starting in August. DK has previously some of the Build Your Own Adventure books in the past but there’s a new one called LEGO Ninjago Build Your Own Adventure: Greatest Ninja Battles. The book will be updated with some of the new Sons of Garmadon villains as well as ones that came after the previous book. As with the other books, there will be a LEGO minifigure as well as an exclusive model. There’s no word on what the build will be but there’s an outline of it on the cover.
LEGO Ninjago Build Your Own Adventure: Greatest Ninja Battles will be available on August 4 but you can pre-order it now on Amazon for 22% off the retail price as of this writing. It will also have Prime shipping and the Pre-order Price Guarantee.
Children will be inspired to create, play, and learn all about the awesome LEGO® NINJAGO® world. This build book combines more than 50 novel ideas for building with captivating story starters. It features five separate stories of the ninja’s greatest battles with their enemies the Anacondrai, Ghost Army, Sky Pirates, Vermillion, and the new 2018 villains: the Sons of Garmadon. Get building, then play out adventures of your own using your LEGO collection. The book comes with the bricks to build an exclusive vehicle that is featured in the story as well as a fold-out play mat and a bookmark.
LEGO Boost Ninjago Stormbringer (70652) Product Demonstration
Back at the 2018 New York Toy Fair, LEGO showed off some new products and one of the new things that I haven’t seen much of on other outlets is a product demonstration of the LEGO Ninjago Stormbringer (70652). We already know that it will be available on August 1 for $39.99 but over on Pixel Dan’s channel, there’s a live demonstration of the set. When you connect it with LEGO Boost (17101), you can program the Stormbringer to do a variety of functions including leg movement, head and movement, and even roaring sounds. The set looks a little crude but it does bring kids in to teach them the basics of programming with LEGO Boost and the Stormbringer is the first of hopefully many more add-ons to the base system.
