LEGO Ninjago Magazine Issue 132: Why the Nokt Minifigure Still Belongs in Your Collection
Before you get to the comic, the posters, or the puzzles, LEGO Ninjago Magazine Issue 132 hands you Nokt — a hooded, armor-plated member of the Forbidden Five whose foil-pack minifigure has quietly become one of the more sought-after exclusives in the Dragons Rising lineup. If you're building out a Forbidden Five roster or just chasing NINJAGO villains you can't get in a retail set, this is the issue to know.

Meet Nokt: The Forbidden Five's Shadow Warrior
Nokt belongs to the Forbidden Five — the shadowy antagonist crew (alongside Kur, Drix, Rox, and Zarkt) introduced in NINJAGO's Dragons Rising saga. The minifigure leans into that identity: dark, layered armor printing, a hooded headpiece that obscures the face, and detailed torso and leg decoration that reads more like a villain boss fight than a background character. He comes armed with a sword, and like most LEGO Ninjago magazine exclusives, he's never been sold as part of a mainline retail set — the foil pack in LEGO Ninjago magazine issue 132 is the only official way to get him.

What's Inside the Comic and Magazine
The headline comic in this issue follows the ninja team cleaning up after Thunderfang's rampage through Stiix, mixing the kind of high-energy Spinjitzu action and teamwork gags that make the LEGO Ninjago magazine comics fun for younger fans without feeling like filler for adult collectors. Beyond the story, Issue 132 keeps the format that's made the line a staple: ninja-themed puzzles and code-breaking challenges, double-sided poster art suitable for framing, and activity pages built entirely around the Dragons Rising cast. None of it requires you to have read the last ten issues to enjoy it — each LEGO Ninjago magazine issue is built to stand on its own.
Why Collectors Still Track Down Issue 132
Because Immediate Media prints these as a UK newsstand exclusive, back issues don't get restocked once they sell through — there's no second print run to fall back on. That scarcity is exactly why Nokt has held collector interest well past its original release: Forbidden Five figures as a group are unusually hard to complete outside the magazine line, and a hooded villain design like Nokt's stands out next to the more common ninja-suit reissues. For anyone assembling the full Forbidden Five lineup, or just building a shelf of NINJAGO villains you won't find anywhere else, LEGO Ninjago magazine issue 132 is one of the more efficient single pickups — one foil pack, one minifigure, no duplicate parts to sort through.
