At $9.99, Lloyd's Spinjitzu Training set is a deliberate entry point — small, focused, and exactly what it needs to be for a Ninjago kid who wants Lloyd in hand without the big-set commitment.
Is the price fair?C+Nine-ninety-nine is defensible, but you're paying for the spinner mechanic and a minifig, not for bricks.

The Full Take
This is a set built with a specific kid in mind: the one who loves Lloyd, wants to spin, and doesn't need a 2,000-piece showpiece to be happy. The Spinjitzu spinner mechanic is the whole draw here, and it delivers that one thing well. Thirty-three pieces means the build wraps in minutes, but for a younger fan that's a feature, not a bug — straight to play. The minifig is clean and the training environment gives just enough context to fuel imagination. It's not trying to be a shelf centerpiece or a collector trophy, and judging it against those bars misses the point entirely. A C+ overall feels right: fair-ish price for a narrow use case, genuinely fun for its audience, forgettable everywhere else.
