The Full Take
The Flying Jelly Sub is the kind of set that exists to fill shelf space at checkout lanes, not to impress anyone who buys it. Thirty-eight pieces builds fast — maybe ten minutes if you're being generous — and leaves you with something that's more novelty than model. No minifigs means no anchor, no story, nothing to pose alongside the build. The Ninjago Movie line had some genuinely strong entries; this isn't one of them. As a standalone it's forgettable, and as part of a collection it barely registers. A C- feels about right — it's not broken, just thin in every direction.
