The Full Take
The Training Kit is one of those small sets that lives or dies by context. At 22 pieces, the build itself is brief — you're done before you've settled in — but the Ninjago theming gives it a clear identity even without a minifig to anchor it. The price grade is the real story: for what you're getting, it doesn't ask much, which makes it an easy impulse add-on rather than a deliberate purchase. Display collectors will find it too small to stand alone, and builders won't linger on the techniques. Where it makes sense is as a supplement — a birthday bag stuffer, a desk accessory for a Ninjago kid, or a cheap entry point into the theme. It's not a set that demands your attention, but it doesn't waste your money either.
