Recommendation: yes 5 / 5

This is a fun vehicle construction set that engages kids in imaginative exploration play. This set is a bit small, but it makes a great addition to other LEGO City Arctic sets, which are sold separately.

Recommendation: meh 4.3 / 5 from 82 reviews

My son absolutely loved it and we were happy that we were able to give it to him for Christmas. It is really big so finding a place to put it once it was together was an issue, but other than that it was a success. I just wish they weren't so expensive and that we were able to buy more of them for our children. Legos are good not just because they are a toy, but it gives them something else to do besides the TV. It teaches them to read directions, and develope patiencen in order to put them together as well as using their imaginations.

70728 is one of the best (perhaps the best) Ninjago sets I've ever encountered. It's a lovely-looking and cohesive product that, due to its abundance of action features, minifig characters, quirky details, and small (but sometimes weak) vehicles, makes for an ideal playset; and if you're not the playing sort, the selection of interesting LEGO elements included here is excellent, too. I'd recommend it to Ninjago fans of all intensities as well as people who're just looking to score for their parts bins.

The Brothers Brick

by Caylin

I really like the set. It's fun to build, and it's a great selection of parts and minifigs, especially if you find yourself short on the katanas. There are 16 in the set. The small things I took issue with aren't detrimental to how I enjoy the set.
