Catamaran Sea Battle

This set is amazing. What's great is that both sides can put a real sea battle fight with the Ninja doing their best too face a goliath type beast of a ship that can detach it's sides too overwhelm the Ninja if they chose too end the battle quickly. This set as I will type, looks amazing anywhere you put it and is fun too build and play with. more less

This is the most expensive set in the Island theme, and unfortunately, that price point introduces a few issues. Running $69.99 US for 780 pieces, the price-per-part is just under 9 cents, which a little on the high side for an unlicensed set. Another ding on the value is that none of the included minifigures are exclusive to this set. While there's a good range of parts, the rare and unique elements aren't ones that are likely to see a lot of use in custom creations. That said, this is still a pretty engaging set. The catamarans are both well built and full of fun details. The action features are varied and feel like they should inspire a lot of play. more less

The omission of any exclusive minifigures is disappointing though, especially because trailers have featured characters which are not available as physical minifigures. Furthermore, I think the price of £59.99 or $69.99 feels fairly expensive when compared with other NINJAGO sets. Ultimately, these vehicles are quite appealing but neither achieves the excellence which I was perhaps anticipating. more less
