The Temple Bounty ships six minifigs and nearly 2,400 pieces, but $200 is a lot to ask for a set that's more spectacle than substance — it's a B- for a reason.

The Full Take
Ninjago's Temple Bounty is the kind of flagship that looks impressive in the box and delivers a solid if unspectacular build once you're deep into the bags. Six minifigs round out a strong lineup for the theme, and the piece count gives builders a meaningful afternoon of work. The design has shelf presence, though it leans more busy than architectural — lots going on, not all of it purposeful. At $199.99 it sits in that uncomfortable middle zone where it's not outrageous but not an obvious yes either. The play features are solid for Ninjago fans, with enough moving parts to keep kids engaged past opening day. It's a B- because it does most things well without excelling at any single one — a dependable flagship, not a landmark one.
