LEGO have officially announced the Ninjago City 70620 set via their Facebook channel.  It is due to be released on September 1, and will be available initially through the direct to consumer channel. Details can be found at shop.lego.com here. Or here, in the Australian LEGO store.

Tying in with the LEGO Ninjago movie, this has been the latest set to be revealed, with official announcement of another yet to come.

With 18 figures and 4867 elements, this set sets the stage for life in Ninjago City!  So much life and activity! It may not officially be a modular town set, but with a little ingenuity I am sure it can be made to fit!

More images, and the description follow after the break!
