A polybag Shang-Chi — the minifig is the whole reason to pick this up, and the dragon build around it is just enough to call it a set.
Is the price fair?CFine for a polybag, nothing more — you're paying for the minifig and getting a handful of filler to go with it.
Will you love it?CThe dragon's charming for thirty seconds; after that it lives in a bin.
Holds its value?C-Weak floor, weak ceiling — this one quietly loses value and never looks back.

The Full Take
Polybags live or die by their minifig, and Shang-Chi at least clears that bar — he's a solid figure with decent print detail. The Great Protector dragon is a quick, fiddly little build that does what it needs to do without asking much of you. At around $5, you're not getting a display centerpiece or a meaningful building session, just a pocket-sized Marvel moment. The value floor grade here is genuinely rough — this one doesn't hold, doesn't grow, and trades at a discount once supply dries up. If you're a Marvel completionist or caught it in a checkout lane, fine. Everyone else can skip it without regret.
