Recommendation: no 7 / 10 by pikafunk

It does have the regular features of a Ninjago set and fun movable parts. It would be appealing to AFOLS who like weapons. I wish it had a Minifig of Kai in the original blacksmith clothes, as the battle took place before Kai became a ninja. It would not be my first choice for a Ninjago set, but it is a good addition to your collection.

Recommendation: no 3.4 / 5 from 21 reviews

It's exacly as described. The roof and pivoting wall are fragile and tend to fall apart with play. My son is several years below the recommended age for the set, so I can't complain about that too much. I'm not crazy about the tree design, but overall I like it.
