29 pieces for $8.99 was a hard sell in 2018 and it doesn't get easier with time — this is a polybag masquerading as a set.
The parts alone are worth about 18% of the street price — the basis for this F price read.
OverpricedYou're paying well above the parts' value — $8 of parts for a $47 price.
Cole's Kendo Training Pod is exactly the kind of product that makes LEGO® fans squint at the price tag. Twenty-nine pieces and one minifig for nearly nine dollars puts this squarely in impulse-buy territory — except it's not priced like one. The pod itself is a tiny dojo vignette with minimal build satisfaction, though Cole in kendo gear is a decent exclusive for Ninjago fans who want the character in this specific look. It's not a bad little display piece if you're deep into the theme, but outside that context it's hard to justify. The price grade is an F for a reason, and that reason is sitting right there on the box.
