About LEGO Ninja Blaster
LEGO Ninja Blaster (set #1099) is a small, compact build with 24 pieces from the Ninja theme, released in 1999. The Ninja line features japanese castle and ninja warrior sets. This is a starter-level build suitable for ages 4+, with an estimated build time of 10-20 minutes. This set dates from the 1990s, a turbulent decade when LEGO launched Star Wars and Mindstorms while navigating financial difficulties.
Set Highlights
- 24 pieces at starter complexity — a 10-20 minutes build.
- Compatible with all standard LEGO sets — bricks extend naturally into other sets you own.
- Play-focused build with interactive elements designed for 4+ builders.
- Classic-era set from 1999 — no longer in production and popular with collectors.
Who Is This Set For?
Gift for Ages 4+

Weekend Build Project
24 pieces with an estimated 10-20 minutes fits comfortably into a focused afternoon or weekend session.
Expanding a Ninja Collection
A solid addition for collectors building out their Ninja shelf. Introduces parts and builds that complement other sets from the same line.
Build Tips
Check the piece count on the bag against the parts list before starting — knowing what you have prevents mid-build surprises.
Even in small sets, connection order matters. Follow the steps rather than building sections independently.
For active play sets, key connection points (hinges, turntables, clip joints) can loosen over time — a small dab of LEGO's own tube clutch lubricant on the stud resolves most looseness without damage.
