how long have you been watching ninjago?

hii! new here and was wondering when did we all first get into ninjago and what made us start watching it?

my first lego sets ever were from the pilot in 2011 when I was 6-7, I think the very first was a surprise gift after school one time of Zane's Dragon, and as I discovered more of the sets I fell in love with the of all the skeleton army designs; and when I saw the pilot I loved watching it over & over on repeat hehe. and once I realised a full season was currently being released in 2012 I got super excited ^^

tbh i haven't actually watched a new season since 2020 (season 11 - Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu - The Ice Chapter) as personally I wasn't rly feeling the new stuff so I'm way behind lol, but my sis still regularly keeps up and always rewatches the whole series like I used to aha. I still like rewatching occasionally and the show will easily always be my most favourite from growing up, and I've still kept my sets and have all the dvds from S1-S7 displayed on my shelves, I should def get back to continuing the series someday, and I've heard Monkie Kid is similar. 

would love to hear from you guys, doesn't have to be anything long if u prefer :)
