"Lloyd's Journey earns its Recommended rating almost entirely on the back of its exclusive kitsune wolf mold, a genuinely impressive new creature that justifies the purchase for NINJAGO collectors and animal-mold enthusiasts, though buyers expecting a complete set at this price may be underwhelmed by 81 pieces and an empty outpost interior."
Lloyd's Journey (70671) earns a Recommended verdict on the strength of one standout exclusive: the new-mold multi-tailed wolf (kitsune) creature, which all three reviewers identified as the primary reason to buy the set. The BrickScore of 74.9 reflects strong agreement that the wolf and minifigures are excellent while the build and price-to-part ratio are weak points. Owner ratings reinforce enthusiasm, with a 4.8 out of 5 average across 1,099 Amazon buyers, far above the expert caution on value.
Where they split: There is a clear split between owner enthusiasm (4.8 out of 5 across 1,099 buyers) and expert caution about value. Casual buyers and children responding to the wolf's visual appeal drove very high consumer ratings, while expert reviewers, who all used 'buy' as their recommendation, consistently flagged the price and empty interior as real drawbacks. BrickQueen was the most skeptical, scoring it 65 and advising 'wait,' while Brickset and JANG scored it 78.

"unless I'm mistaken it may be the only way to get Lloyd's wolf which is really the only reason I bought this set"
BrickQueen"Figures are frequently the highlight of smaller NINJAGO sets and this example is no exception. Lloyd and the Blizzard Warrior are both brilliant, although they are available elsewhere. The brand new wolf, on the other hand, is exclusive and looks absolutely fantastic in my opinion, striking a perfect balance between ferocious and adorable design."
