Sea battles in Ninjago always bring the drama, but $70 for this catamaran feels like you're paying for the IP more than the set — the build is fun enough, the price tag less so.

The Full Take
The catamaran itself is a genuinely cool centerpiece — two hulls, a working sail, and enough swooshability to make the living room a battlefield. Six minifigs gives you a proper crew for both sides, and the playability is legitimately the strongest argument for owning this. The build experience is solid without being exceptional, leaning on Ninjago's reliable action-set energy rather than any standout technique. Where it stumbles is the price: $69.99 sits a bit steep for what's on the table, and that gap shows up in the grades. On the shelf it reads more 'play set stored on a shelf' than 'display piece' — the open deck and chunky proportions weren't designed for quiet admiration. Buy it because your kid (or your inner kid) wants to stage a sea battle, not because the numbers add up perfectly.
