Review : 70607 Ninjago City Chase & 70606 Spinjitzu Training

We continue to go around the range based on the film The LEGO Ninjago Movie with the two small sets of this first wave: 70607 Ninjago City Chase (19.99 €) and 70606 Spinjitzu Training (9.99 €).

Even if there is no reason to dwell for hours on these two sets, there is no question of considering them as boxes without interest, quite the contrary.

They are first of all good loss leaders to discover the universe of the Ninjago film at a lower cost before possibly embarking on the acquisition of slightly more expensive boxes.

They are also two affordable sets that will make nice gifts to offer on various occasions without having to leave your shirt there. Many of us want to offer a box of LEGO to our children's friends when our offspring is invited to a birthday party, and the budget / size / interest ratio of the gift is not often to our advantage. However, a LEGO box, even a small one, is always a pleasure.

On the side of the set 70607 Ninjago City Chase (233 pieces), it is necessary to assemble the stall of the nice merchant Ham, the tuk-tuk of the Toque officer and two lampposts on which several lanterns are suspended. A few stickers to stick and it's then rather successful and playable, thanks in particular to the five minifigs provided. The police vehicle and the stall will easily find their place in any city diorama.

The endowment in minifigs is rather balanced here: Two young ninjas in "civilian", a policeman in uniform, a bad guy and a nice frightened victim. It does not take more to start having fun while waiting to be offered something to flesh out this beginning of city staging. Some accessories like the banknote, Lloyd's can or Nya's smartphone will delight those who like to accumulate this type of coin.

The and 70606 Spinjitzu Training (109 pieces) is also a loss leader that allows you to afford a set based on the film at a lower cost. The mini dojo corner is convincing with the different training supports which give it a little consistency.

The parchment is pad-printed, just to make you want to buy other boxes from the same range. Failed, there will be stickers in the shovel in the more expensive boxes, but it's a good try from LEGO.

The strong point of this box: For 9.99 €, we obtain here two ninjas in uniform, Kai and Zane, with their respective fetish weapons. It's a good start to set foot in this universe and start to gather the little troop.

These two small boxes therefore have, in my opinion, arguments to make. They may not have the cachet or appeal of the biggest sets in the range, but they allow you to approach the world of the film without breaking the bank and are interesting additions for those who, for example, have managed to offer the set 70620 Ninjago City.

If you have the opportunity to find them at an even more interesting price than that practiced on the LEGO Shop, do not hesitate. You will always have an opportunity to please a young fan of the Ninjago universe who will be delighted to be able to add these different elements to build and these minifigs to their collection.
