Five minifigs in a Ninjago Movie set for $80 — that's the headline. The Ice Tank itself is a chunky, satisfying build, and the minifig haul alone makes this one of the better grabs in the movie wave.
Is the price fair?A+914 pieces, five minifigs, $80 — this priced like LEGO® actually wanted it to sell.
Will you love it?C+Chunky, fun, and loaded with minifigs — hard not to enjoy this one.
Holds its value?C-Retired quietly and the secondary market hasn't rewarded patience much.
The Full Take
The Ice Tank punches above its theme. Ninjago Movie sets got mixed reviews at launch, but this one found its footing with a beefy 914-piece build, genuinely impressive minifig count, and a price that felt fair the day it hit shelves. The tank's design has that oversized, cartoonishly menacing quality that works in person better than photos suggest — it's a shelf piece that reads as intentional, not like a kid just stacked bricks. Five minifigs for a vehicle set at this price was unusual in 2017 and still stands out. The weak spot is 'what you get' beyond those figs — the set doesn't break new ground in parts or techniques, so it's satisfying rather than surprising. Still, an A- overall means this set did most things right, and for a movie tie-in, that's not a given.
