Description

A small way into Ninjago

Ninjago launched in 2011 with a whole range of small sets, and this one was meant as a low-cost entry point. It shows what the theme is about: ninja practise Spinjitzu, a martial art in which they whirl around like tornadoes. To make that playable, the box includes spinners that the figures can stand on. With 57 pieces the build is short, and the instructions take only a few minutes before play can begin. For children just discovering Ninjago, that is exactly the right amount.

Two figures, red and black

Two minifigures are included, so a duel can start immediately. Black dominates the colour palette, with red and blue added to match the ninja outfits. The parts list also contains an entry labelled “no colour / any colour”, which usually points to accessories such as spinner parts or weapons. Of the 57 pieces, 24 are different shapes, a reasonable blend of standard bricks and special parts. If you would like to reuse the tops and equipment for your own ideas later, you will find all of them in the list further down.

Made to be played with

This set is meant for playing rather than display. The figures balance on the spinners, which you flick, and whoever stays upright longest wins. That invites small tournaments at the kitchen table, where nobody needs much space. Collectors value the set mainly as a snapshot of the first wave, when the theme was only just beginning. If you put it beside the larger dojo and dragon models of the early years, you can see how the line grew.

Reusing the parts

The pieces are easy to reuse as well: weapons, spinners and ninja accessories fit almost every Ninjago set and your own conversions. Add the set to your collection and the “What can I build?” tool on Bricoria counts these parts and suggests models you can put together without buying anything extra. That way a small starter turns into a useful foundation for bigger projects in the same theme.
