Average

#23 of 49 Ninjago sets with 1,000+ pieces

Source Dragon of Motion is a builder favorite, 4.6 of 5, and gives slightly more pieces per $10 than most big Ninjago sets (106 against 98). It has about 10% less plastic per dollar than the norm, though, and six minifigures for $149.99 is below the usual rate, so with a fair price it scores average.
