Two minifigs in a $9.99 set is a deal that Ninjago fans should not walk past — this little monastery punches above its weight class where it counts most.
Is the price fair?A+Two minifigs and a scene for under ten bucks — that's the whole argument.
Will you love it?C+Compact and characterful, but the build wraps up before you've really settled in.
Holds its value?C-Retired small sets rarely move the needle; this one is no exception.
The Full Take
For a set that costs less than a fast-food combo meal, Monastery Training delivers two full Ninjago minifigs alongside a compact but characterful build. The monastery facade reads cleanly on a shelf, and the training ground accessories give it just enough scene-setting to feel complete. The build itself is short — this is maybe a 20-minute sit, tops — but that's the honest tradeoff at this price point. Kids get two figures to actually play with, which is the real win here, and the Ninjago theme lends enough personality that it doesn't feel like a filler set. It won't anchor a collection, but as a grab-and-go addition to an existing Ninjago display or a low-stakes gift, it holds its own.
