Recommendation: yes 5 / 5 from 8 reviews

I've had this set for more than a week and continue to rebuild and improve it. The set is a great place to display Ninjago figures, and I'm expanding it to fit underneath the Airjitzu Temple to make a huge display.

Recommendation: no 4 / 5

The Samurai X Cave, vehicles and minifigures allow LEGO builders to recreate and play out some of the epic scenes from the NINJAGO: Masters of Spinjitzu TV series. The cave's open, modular design also allows it to be used for setting up a Ninjago display that shows off the minifigures.

My nephew loved it. He was totally taken away, because he really wanted it. He is already putting it together. Thank you Amazon and the company who sold it. He is very happy.
