$9.99 for 26 pieces and a spinner — LEGO® charged full price for what amounts to a Happy Meal toy without the meal. The C- says everything.

The Full Take
Jay's Spinjitzu Ninja Training is the kind of polybag-tier set that somehow ended up on a retail peg with a $9.99 tag and a straight face. Twenty-six pieces, one spinner, one minifig — the build takes about four minutes and leaves you wondering what you just paid for. The value floor here is one of the lowest we've graded, and it's not hard to see why. Jay himself is the only thing worth pulling out of the box; the minifig quality is solid, it's the everything-else that falls flat. As a standalone purchase it's hard to justify, though it does make sense as a stocking-stuffer IF — and only if — you catch it on clearance.
