Early read · 1 review
Black Panther on a war boat for under ninety dollars — the price alone makes this one hard to walk past. Five minifigs, a solid scene, and a theme that carries real weight after 2022.
Is the price fair?A+One of the fairest prices in the Wakanda Forever wave — hard to argue with it.
Will you love it?B-The minifigs carry it; the boat build is decent but not the star.
Holds its value?BSteady — not a moonshot, but Marvel + Wakanda Forever keeps a floor under it.

The Full Take
War on the Water landed at a moment when Black Panther meant something beyond just a Marvel property, and LEGO® threaded that carefully into a set that punches above its price. The boat build is functional rather than spectacular — don't expect a showpiece, but it holds together as a scene. Five minifigs is a strong pull here, especially with characters tied to Wakanda Forever that don't show up in many other sets. At eighty-nine dollars it's one of the better-priced Marvel sets of its wave, and that's without stretching to justify it. The love grade sits at B- because the build itself is the weakest part of the package — the minifig lineup does most of the heavy lifting. It's the kind of set where the characters are the point and the model is the stage. Worth picking up; just go in knowing what you're buying.
