LEGO SET 71767 - Alternate build | Ninja Dojo Temple
Exploring Alternate Builds for LEGO Set 71767-1 – Ninja Dojo Temple
The Ninja Dojo Temple (set 71767-1) is a masterful blend of classic East Asian temple architecture and dynamic play features, from the sweeping tiled roofs to the hidden training chambers. But beyond its designed form lies a wealth of potential for creative re-imagining. By breaking down the set into its core elements—columns and arches, ornamental roof tiles, courtyard walls, fences, lanterns and minifigure-scale accessories—you can rebuild it into entirely new scenes that capture the spirit of Ninjago while showcasing your personal style.
Imagine transforming the temple’s pagoda elements into a mountain-side monastery, perched atop rocky terrain assembled from the set’s gray slopes. Or repurpose the courtyard arches to create a miniature street market, with vendor stalls framed by the original fence pieces. The vibrant orange and red roof tiles can become the focal point of a festival pavilion, complete with paper-lantern-style builds using the set’s round tile elements. And don’t overlook the lantern and weapon racks—these detail parts make excellent decorative accents in entirely different contexts, such as a samurai dojo or a mystical shrine hidden deep in a bamboo grove.
For those who enjoy modular display, consider combining elements of the Ninja Dojo Temple with other Ninjago sets—for example, integrating the temple’s courtyard walls into a larger cityscape, or grafting its roof sections onto a custom multi-level pagoda. The possibilities are only limited by the pieces you’re willing to mix and match.
