Four minifigs in a $30 set is the kind of math LEGO® rarely lets happen — the Manta Ray Bomber punches well above its price tag and the vehicle design is wild enough to back it up.
Is the price fair?A+Four minifigs and a feature-packed vehicle at $30 — one of the better deals the Ninjago Movie line ever put out.
Will you love it?B-The manta ray shape is legitimately cool and the drop-bay feature keeps it interesting beyond the first afternoon.
Holds its value?C-Flat resale, flat appreciation — this one is a keeper, not a flipper.
The Full Take
The Manta Ray Bomber is one of those sets where the minifig haul alone justifies the shelf space. Four characters at $30 is genuinely unusual, and the manta ray silhouette gives the vehicle a distinct, menacing look that holds up better than a lot of Movie-era vehicles. The build itself is straightforward but satisfying — there's a bomber-drop play feature baked in that kids actually use. Display value is decent: it reads clearly at a glance and fits the Ninjago Movie aesthetic without looking like a parts-bin throwaway. The weak spot is long-term value — this one hasn't moved much on the secondary market and probably won't. Buy it for what it is, not what it might become.
