Six minifigs in a $79.99 Ninjago temple is a genuine rarity — and the Crystal King himself is a standout villain worth the shelf space alone.

The Full Take
The Crystal King Temple does something most sets in this price range don't bother with: it loads up on minifigs. Six characters, including one of Ninjago's more visually striking villains, give this set real personality before you even look at the build. The temple structure is solid — layered, colorful, with enough interactive sections to keep it interesting during the build. At $79.99 it punches above its weight on value, which is rare enough to call out. The 'what you get' score tells you the build itself isn't breaking new ground, but as a display piece it reads as complete and considered on a shelf. This is the kind of mid-tier Ninjago set that quietly earns fans — nothing revolutionary, but nothing to skip if the theme speaks to you.
