36 pieces for $12.99 is a tough sell no matter how cool the Oni are — this pack gives you three minifigs and almost nothing else to show for it.
The parts alone are worth about 44% of the street price — the basis for this F price read.
OverpricedYou're paying well above the parts' value — $53 of parts for a $121 price.
The Oni are one of Ninjago's more visually striking villain factions, and that alone draws you in. But cracking this open, the build amounts to a couple of weapon racks and a tiny display stand that feels like an afterthought. Three minifigs sounds fine until you realize the whole thing is basically a minifig pack priced like it has real substance. The F on price isn't hyperbole — $12.99 for 36 pieces is a rough deal by any measure. There's a version of this concept that works: a denser, more atmospheric little diorama that gives the Oni a stage. This isn't that. Buy it if you need the figs; otherwise the math just doesn't add up.
