Seven minifigs in one Ninjago set is a party, and the Dieselnaut's sheer mechanical bulk gives them a stage worthy of the lineup. Strong price for what lands on the table — just don't expect the secondary market to return the favor.
Is the price fair?A+1188 pieces, seven minifigs, $109.99 — the math is embarrassingly generous for 2018 Ninjago.
Will you love it?C+Big, mean, and fun to build — the Dieselnaut earns the shelf or the floor, your call.
Holds its value?C-Solid set, forgettable aftermarket — it plateaus and stays there.
The Full Take
The Dieselnaut is essentially a rolling fortress, and at $109.99 it delivers that fantasy at a price that's hard to argue with. Seven minifigs is a headcount that most sets twice the price can't match, and the villain vehicle scale means it actually feels threatening parked next to the heroes' rides. The build leans into chunky mechanical design — lots of texture, moving parts, and that satisfying sense of mass when it's done. Where it stumbles is in the detail work; up close, some sections feel more bulk than craft, which is the gap between a good set and a great one. For Ninjago fans specifically, this hits the core loop — big bad guy vehicle, strong cast, room to play or display. The resale story is quiet, so buy it because you want it, not because you're running a long position on Ninjago rolling stock.
