64 pieces, one minifig, ten bucks — Spinjitzu Slam is basically a spinner toy in LEGO® form, and whether that's charming or underwhelming depends entirely on how old you are.
Is the price fair?C-Ten bucks for 64 pieces and a launcher gimmick feels like paying a small convenience fee for a mediocre party favor.
Will you love it?B-The spinner mechanic is fun for a flash, but there's not enough set here to grow attached to.
Holds its value?C-This thing is not an investment — the value floor is nearly nonexistent and shows no signs of moving.

The Full Take
Spinjitzu Slam - Zane is a concept set: part launcher, part collectible, not really either at its best. The gimmick is a spring-loaded slam pad that sends Zane's spinner flying, which is exactly as fun as it sounds for about fifteen minutes. As a shelf piece it's too small and too toyetic to command attention. The build itself is thin — you're done in under half an hour and there's nothing technique-wise to chew on. Zane's minifig is clean and well-printed, easily the high point of the package. At $9.99 it's not painful, but it's not a great deal for what lands in your hands. A C+ overall about covers it: fine, forgettable, functional.
