The Dieselnaut looks mean on paper — seven minifigs, a massive tank — but $110 for a Ninjago vehicle that won't hold value and doesn't dazzle on a shelf is a hard sell in any direction.

The Full Take
Seven minifigs sound like a win until you're staring at a chunky, boxy tank and wondering where the $110 went. The Dieselnaut has bulk without beauty — it reads more like a play-set afterthought than a set anyone designed to impress. The build itself is repetitive, leaning on filler panels rather than techniques that make you stop and think. For kids it functions fine, but the play pattern is limited for a vehicle this size and price. On the shelf it's a brown-and-grey lump that loses any presence next to sets with real architectural detail. Retired sets at this score don't tend to climb — secondary market movement has been flat. A C- overall is generous on a bad day.
