LEGO 3053 Emperor's Stronghold

Released 1999 · 335 pieces · 4 minifigures · Ninja

LEGO Emperor's Stronghold (3053) was released in 1999 as part of the Ninja theme, with 335 pieces and 4 minifigures. That makes it the 3rd largest of the 35 Ninja sets in the catalog. It was one of 19 Ninja sets released that year (see them all). Released in 1999, 27 years ago, well past the two-to-three-year run most LEGO sets get, so it is almost certainly out of production.
