Two minifigs in a $10 pod the size of a hockey puck — the figures are the whole product here, and even then the value floor is basically underground.
Is the price fair?FNine-ninety-nine for what amounts to a minifig pack with decorative scaffolding — the F is earned.
Will you love it?BThe figures are charming; the rest is filler you'll forget you built.
Holds its value?C-Arcade Pod values don't climb — small impulse sets like this fade into the noise.

The Full Take
Lloyd Avatar sets like this one exist to deliver a character in a small, giftable package, and the two minifigs do most of the heavy lifting. The pod itself is decorative at best — 49 pieces don't leave much room for anything resembling a build experience. At $9.99 it sounds cheap until you realize there's almost nothing here beyond the plastic shell around two figures. The value floor graded out at near-zero, which tracks: this is a novelty, not a set. If you're a Ninjago collector filling out a character roster, it scratches that itch and nothing more. Everyone else can safely skip it.
