Based on 22 reviews · thin
Two mechs for $80 sounds like a deal until you realize how hollow they feel — Lloyd and Arin's builds are more skeleton than substance, and that price tag doesn't do them any favors.
Is the price fair?BEighty dollars for two mechs that don't quite justify the ask — this one stings a bit.
Will you love it?B-Kids in the Dragons Rising fandom will enjoy it; everyone else might feel the gaps.
Holds its value?C-Nothing here screams long-term demand — expect it to drift, not climb.

The Full Take
Ninjago mech sets live or die by how satisfying they look in motion, and this one is a mixed bag. Lloyd's mech has some personality, but Arin's feels like it got the leftover parts. Five minifigs is a solid haul, and kids who are deep in the Dragons Rising era will recognize the characters — that counts for something. The build itself moves quickly, which isn't always a compliment; experienced builders will be done and slightly underwhelmed in an afternoon. At $79.99 for 764 pieces the pricing is genuinely hard to defend when comparable mech sets deliver more visual payoff. It's a B- set in the truest sense: not bad, just not enough to make you excited you bought it.
