Things To Consider Before Purchasing The Best Lego Ninja Sets:
Here are a few things that you might like to consider if you want to get the best Lego Ninjago Set:
1. Number of Legos:
The more the number of Lego pieces, the more time it will require in building, and vice versa. If you want your child to dedicate more time to the developmental construction game, then we suggest you get a larger set.
2. Age Recommendation:
This is a very vital factor to consider if you want to purchase the best Ninjago sets. Always take a look at the minimum age that Lego recommends for each Ninjago set. If you give an eight-year-old with an advanced building set, your kid will likely feel frustrated. Similarly, if the Ninjago set is too simple, it might fail to secure a teen’s attention.
3. Posable Toys:
Most of the Ninjago sets are for kids or teens. This section likes toys that they can actively play with. Hence, try purchasing a Lego Ninjago set that is flexible and has a high playability quotient.
4. Gimmicks:
As the Ninjago sets are dedicated towards the Ninjas, hence a few stud shooters, Katanas, and swords are common. The more gimmicks a Lego toy has, the better.
5. Minifigure:
As each of these sets is centering on a character in the movie, the inclusion of that character adds to the worth of the Ninjago set. Try finding a Lego Ninjago set that has an array of Minifigs that include a few villains too. It would help your kid in recreating their favorite scenes and engage in healthy creative play with the Lego set.
Conclusion:
The Lego Ninjago sets are innovative and bring in a plethora of colors, unique bricks, and designs. We feel all the thirteen products that we have reviewed above are best in the collection.
However, if we had to choose a few, we would say that the LEGO NINJAGO Masters of Spinjitzu: Stormbringer 70652 is the best Lego Ninjago set. This Lego creation is cost-effective, varied, and looks super-cool. Kids will have a blast putting it together.
The second-best Lego Ninjago set, in our opinion, is the LEGO Ninjago Movie Destiny’s Bounty 70618. It is a huge set that brings to table hours of Lego constructing fun. Once built, it is so designed that it will delight every onlooker.
