Spinjitzu Burst Lloyd

(Review is from the seven year old who received it...) I like the open and close feature and the colour. I love the minifigure detail. I would change the band colour so it matches but I really like the set. more less

These would probably make a good gift for a Ninjago fan or a younger builder, but otherwise I think you'd better of waiting for a sale before adding them to your collection. Knocking 15% or so off the price would be enough to make these seem more like a decent value, anyway. more less

The concept of the Spinjitzu series of the years is an interesting one; small, relatively cheap sets designed to be played with either individually or as a whole, with a unique play element not seen before in a traditional LEGO set. This year's Burst sets, however, fell short of my expectations by making it too difficult to spin satisfactorily, due in most part to the tightness of the elastic belt. Last year's Slam models seemed much more effective with what is essentially the same launcher, and although these are clearly an effort to improve upon the somewhat clunky mechanism of the original Spinjitzu Master spinners, I think this particular iteration may have missed the mark. more less
