Seven minifigs in a $90 Ninjago set is a flex — and the golden dragon raider itself looks the part on a shelf or a race track.
Is the price fair?A+Seven minifigs and a golden dragon vehicle at $90 — this one's priced to move and it shows.
Will you love it?C+Visually striking enough to earn a shelf spot, fun enough to actually play with.
Holds its value?C-Weak appreciation history makes this a keep-it-or-gift-it, not a wait-and-sell.
The Full Take
Kai's Golden Dragon Raider packs seven minifigs into a $90 price tag, which is the kind of ratio that makes you do a double-take at the box. The golden dragon vehicle aesthetic hits hard — it's menacing, it's detailed, and it sits somewhere between display piece and battle-ready toy in the best way. At 635 pieces the build has enough going on to keep a builder interested without dragging into weekend-project territory. Kids get a full cast of characters plus a vehicle worth actually playing with, which isn't a given at this price in Ninjago. The one honest caveat: this isn't a set you buy expecting to flip later — appreciation history is rough and the secondary market isn't doing it any favors. But as a buy-to-own, the A+ price grade carries real weight here.
