“I cannot get over how good this set looks. And it has some decent functionality on top of that. Of all the Ninjago sets released this year, this one is my favorite, and I would recommend it to Ninjago fans, steampunk fans, and anybody else who's into vehicles with giant... More drills on them.”

BrickEconomy Member Review
“Despite being scaled down from its show counterpart, the set features an innovative gold drill mechanism that spins as the wheels move, adding an interactive play element. The detailed minifigures—Cole in his striking kimono outfit with a collectible sword, and a finely designed Stone Soldier—are standout inclusions.”
