Chain Cycle Ambush gives a little less than similar sets
Below average
#87 of 99 Ninjago sets with 200–499 pieces
Chain Cycle Ambush falls short of the mid-size Ninjago norm on every measure: about 16% less plastic per dollar, 70 pieces per $10 against 79, three minifigures a bit under the usual rate and a 3.7 rating. At $29.99 it also costs about 14% more than similar contents, which makes it poor value.
