Combiner gimmick, two Ninjago mainstays, and a $40 ask that doesn't embarrass itself — but 'fine' is about the ceiling here.
The parts alone are worth about 249% of the street price — the basis for this A price read.

Kai and Cole together should feel like an event, and instead this set feels like a Tuesday. The combiner mechanic is the headline, but it's been done cleaner in this theme before, and 394 pieces doesn't leave much room for the build to breathe. Three minifigs at this price is a fair shake, and the Ninjago faithful will find enough here to enjoy an afternoon.
