“70728 is one of the best (perhaps the best) Ninjago sets I've ever encountered. It's a lovely-looking and cohesive product that, due to its abundance of action features, minifig characters, quirky details, and small (but sometimes weak) vehicles, makes for an ideal playset;... More and if you're not the playing sort, the selection of interesting LEGO elements included here is excellent, too.”

The Brothers Brick
“I really like the set. It's fun to build, and it's a great selection of parts and minifigs, especially if you find yourself short on the katanas. There are 16 in the set. The small things I took issue with aren't detrimental to how I enjoy the set.”
