Is the price fair?A+Six minifigs and a full-sized jet for sixty bucks — that's LEGO® being generous before they forgot how.
Will you love it?C+The jet looks great and the figure count is hard to argue with, but the surrounding extras leave you wanting more.
Holds its value?C-Ninjago Movie sets haven't been strong holds — this one's no exception, so buy it to enjoy it.
The Full Take
The Lightning Jet is one of those sets where the minifig haul does a lot of heavy lifting — six figures at this price point is a legitimate win, and the Ninjago Movie aesthetic gives the jet a sleek, screen-accurate silhouette that holds up years later. The build itself is solidly engineered, with enough sweep and scale to feel like a centerpiece rather than a side piece. Where it stumbles is in the accessories and extras around the main model; what you get beyond the jet and the figs feels a little thin. Still, the core package — a striking vehicle, a stacked minifig roster, and a price that was fair on release — makes this one of the better entries from the movie wave. If you missed it at retail, tracking one down is worth the effort.
