Four minifigs in a $30 set is the kind of math that makes you double-check the price tag. The Flying Jelly Sub is Ninjago Movie at its most playable — weird creature-vehicle design, solid cast, fair price.
Is the price fair?A+Four minifigs and a creature-vehicle at $30 — LEGO® left money on the table here.
Will you love it?C+Weird design, great cast, totally worth an afternoon build.
Holds its value?C-Short-run Ninjago Movie theme, but this one hasn't moved the needle for resellers.
The Full Take
The Flying Jelly Sub is one of those sets where LEGO® Movie tie-in licensing actually worked in buyers' favor. Four minifigs for thirty dollars is a strong lineup by any measure, and the jellyfish-sub hybrid design is weird enough to hold attention on a shelf or a play table. The build itself is compact but purposeful — the translucent tentacles and organic shape give builders something different from the usual angular Ninjago fare. It won't win awards for technique, but the finished model has personality that punches above its price. The Ninjago Movie theme had a short window, and this set landed in a sweet spot of playability and charm that most sets in the wave couldn't quite hit.
