Recommendation: meh 4.6 / 5 from 5 reviews

Only got this for Clutch powers I'm sure everyone got this for Clutch. The cool thing is the Ninjago team hears what fans want and do there best to make it happen. We wanted Clutch Powers in a set we got him. We wanted pink Zane in a set we got him. That is really cool but i hope in the future we will get Clutch's original design in a City set and maybe the rest of the Clutch Crew or maybe Pepper Roni and The Brickster. One thing we all know for sure is................ we NEED Clutch Powers 2 give us Clutch Powers 2. Or at least a Clutch Powers Lego set. All and all the set was so worth it. 10/10

Recommendation: meh 3.7 / 5 by Vaderfan2187

On the whole, this LEGO Ninjago minifigure pack is pretty good. I like the four minifigures included, especially Clutch Powers (who will be a big draw for LEGO fans). The build itself is just whatever but it's not meant to be the main star.

The Minifigure packs are a great ideas to bulk out your collections and add further play options to other LEGO NINJAGO sets. I quite like the two bad guy characters, plus in a low cost set like this you get to check out the new elements, without having to shell out on a larger set. But there is no doubt that Clutch Powers is the Minifigures most people will be buying this set for. Even those who aren't a fan of NINJAGO, could be tempted to pick the pack up just to add this legendary character to the collection.

Clutch Powers has elicited considerable attention and is undoubtedly the highlight of 40342 NINJAGO Minifigure Set. This minifigure looks fantastic, borrowing certain features from his original design while updating his appearance where necessary. The other three minifigures are individually impressive but none are exclusive which is slightly disappointing when compared with previous minifigure packs.
