“To sum up, this is a good set. There are plenty of good pieces at a good price, including some that only appear in a few other equally-new sets.

“I find this to be a really fun set with some decent vehicles for both ninjas. The vehicles have good designs and fun functions. And what the Nindroid loses in ability-to-take-on-the-two-ninja-vehicles, he makes up for being a cool robot baddie.”
