Below average

#86 of 99 Ninjago sets with 200–499 pieces

Rontu the Master Dragon is poor value for a mid-size Ninjago set. It carries about 26% less plastic per dollar than the norm, gives slightly fewer pieces per $10 (73 against 79), and at $49.99 it costs about 25% more than similar contents. Four minifigures are right on the usual rate, but a 3.6 rating doesn’t help.
