Early read · 0 reviews
Spinjitzu in a $9.99 bag sounds cute until you realize 33 pieces buys you a spinner, a Kai, and not much else — the B on love is real, but this is a pass at full price.
Is the price fair?D+33 pieces at $9.99 is a tough sell — feels like it should've landed at $6.
Will you love it?BA Ninjago kid will spin Kai until the table tips over, so the B on love is earned where it counts.
Holds its value?C-No secondary market story here — spinner polybags don't appreciate.

The Full Take
Kai's Spinjitzu Ninja Training is exactly what it looks like: a small, focused Ninjago starter that gives younger fans a spinning mechanism, their guy, and a handful of targets to knock over. The build wraps up in minutes, but for a six-year-old who just wants to flick Kai across the floor, that's fine. The problem is $9.99 for 33 pieces in 2022 — LEGO® priced this like it belongs at $6, and the D+ on price is hard to argue with. There's no shelf moment here, no clever technique, nothing that lingers after the first spin. It lives or dies on whether the kid in your life is deep in their Ninjago era, because that's the only place the B on love holds up. Resale is a flat no — these spinner bags move fast at retirement and then disappear without a bump. Buy it as a stocking stuffer for the right kid, not as anything else.
