==Designer's notes==
Nick Vás: "This is the fifth and final set that I designed for Ninjago, together with Christopher Stamp and a little bit of invaluable help from Niek. The model went through at least 4 complete redesigns and iterations, and countless physical and digital sub-builds as it grew alongside the Ninjago City seen in the film. Being able to work on this set was a dream come true - I had the freedom to draw inspiration from all over the film city, and distill that spirit into a single modular block.
Early in development I collected draws full of interesting techniques and details, which we sprinkled through the model where it made sense. It's hard to pick favourites, but I'm particularly proud of the variety of roof techniques for shingles seen throughout the model, and the new square railing element - you get a lot to play with! Niek made an amazing function, which can deep-fry crabs (or Gold bananas)! We managed to fit in a lot, but there were many more ideas leftover that will hopefully find their way into future models... there's also a traffic cone on top of the radio tower - I'm not sure how it got there.
There are a lot of decorations, minifigures and stickers, made by Djordje and Lars. Ninjago City is full of billboards and bright signage, so to recreate this variety, we knew that we'd have to use a lot of stickers. We aimed to make them as much fun as possible, adding in references to the film, classic LEGO themes and more. A Ninjago script/cipher was developed for the film, which we used to encode a lot of fun messages, and add extra depth to the world seen in the model. I'm hoping that these stickers will also be useful for people wanting to build their own creations!
It was an incredible amount of fun and work to make - pushing the limits on size, techniques, stickers and fun. It wouldn't have been possible without Chris, the Ninjago design team, and countless others! I'm glad it turned out okay!"https://brickset.com/sets/designer-Nick-Vas
==Trivia==
*The set is designed to be compatible with the Creator Expert modular buildings.

*There are many signs in this set that are in the Ninjago alphabet, but you can translate them with the Ninjago Language Translator included within the set's instruction booklet.
**First level: S, Play Well (the LEGO motto), City, Visit Bricksburg (the main city in The LEGO Movie, suggesting they take place in the same universe), and High-Tech.
**Second level: Bank, Sale, Borg Industries (Cyrus Borg's company), and JB Robotics.
**Third level: AB, Shadow of Ronin Ninjago, Comics, and film.
*A boy named Tommy has a shirt that has a picture of Lloyd in his Elemental Robes, and above it, it says "Nemanja", which is the name of the son of one of the designers, Đjorđe Đorđević.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzYjXxjahCQ
*This set includes versions of characters from the TV series who had previously never appeared in minifigure form:
**Despite Rufus McCallister's being a recurring character since Season 2, this is the first time that he has ever appeared in a set.
**Sally, a minor character from Rebooted, also makes her first appearance in this set.
*Though they share a name and are both young boys, Tommy from this set was not specifically intended to be Tommy the Wu's Academy student from the TV series.https://twitter.com/KnapDK/status/1358851691949527043
*This set was followed up a year later with 70657 Ninjago City Docks, another modular set from The LEGO Ninjago Movie.
*This set includes the first physical minifigure of Officer Noonan, however, the Noonan in this set is female, where Noonan in the series is an older male.

**The Comic Book store has eight different 1x2 tiles representing cards. They are Lloyd Garmadon, Head Spin, Panic Stations, Laval from Legends of Chima, Unikitty from The LEGO Movie, Sparks from Rock Raiders, Johnny Thunder from Adventurers - Orient Expedition and William Walrus from Fabuland.
**The Comic Book store also has a 2x3 poster that resembles the "BELIEVE" cat poster from The LEGO Movie
**A set of interchangeable posters are included to go on the second story. One of these is a poster for Shadow of Ronin, another is for an old LEGO theme, Galidor.
**A flag next to the stone bridge reads "GS" in Ninjargon with the Galaxy Squad logo above it, referencing the 2013 space theme from LEGO.
*This set includes a mini version of the puffer fish balloon seen at Ninjago Tower in the film.
*In the TV series, Dareth's apartment resembles this set.
*Strangely, this set is marked as a 16+ set, but 71741 Ninjago City Gardens, a larger set, is marked as a 14+ set.
