"The Ninja Nightcrawler is a Recommended set with a BrickScore of 72.9, delivering an impressively large and well-designed Sons of Garmadon vehicle with a clever auto-shooting mechanic, exclusive minifigures, and strong owner satisfaction across 2,630 ratings."
The Ninja Nightcrawler earns broadly positive marks for its striking, mature vehicle design and the innovative automatic stud-shooter mechanism triggered by driving the car. Brickset praised it as beautifully designed with excellent gold detailing and a satisfying build, while JANG offered a more measured take, noting the lime green color breaks up the scheme unnecessarily and the auto-shooting function fires studs everywhere uncontrollably. Owner sentiment is overwhelmingly enthusiastic: 4.7 stars across 2,630 ratings, with 100% of LEGO.com respondents saying they would recommend it and play experience rated 4.64 out of 5.
Where they split: Brickset and JANG diverge on value and the shooting feature. Brickset called the shooters thrilling ('Hell, yeah it works. The studs fire with incredible velocity') and rated value highly. JANG found the uncontrolled firing a practical nuisance and questioned whether the price was justified for parents given only three minifigures. However, both agree the vehicle design itself is a strong point.
