True North Bricks

Recommendation: meh 87 / 100 by Tom

Ultimately, this version of Destiny's Bounty (71705) is a good set, especially if you missed the last one. It comes at a great value with some nicely detailed Minifigures. However, for a kit this size, there are not very many characters included. Additionally, the set lacks the detailing of its predecessor. However, the lack of small embellishments also means less stuff to fall off an lose. Consequently, the set is more play friendly for smaller kids.

The Brothers Brick

Recommendation: yes by Chris Doyle

I think both Ninjago fans and LEGO lovers in general will be very pleased with this set. At $130 for 1,781 pieces, it has a nice price-per-part average of only 7.3 cents. While there aren't a ton of super rare or new elements, there are a few. Seven minifigures (including two unique ones) and a lot of useful parts for custom building also help make this feel like a solid value. The play features are well thought out and work well, and the build is engaging, if a little tricky at times. If your budget has room for a larger LEGO set, I think this one is worthy of consideration even at full price.
