LEGO Ninjago 70680 Monastery Training earns a strong BrickScore of 81, with reviewers consistently praising its outstanding value for a sub-$10 set and the quality of its two minifigures (Kai and Nya/Nia). The build is compact but cleverly designed, with every piece serving a purpose — whether for play features or visual detail. Expert and owner reviewers alike agree it punches well above its price point, especially given the new weapon molds, a printed tile (no stickers), and multiple interactive training elements.

"I think a lot of the value in the set comes from just the figures themselves."
JANG's LEGO Reviews"The build for this set is very well done, I found myself enjoying how simplistic, but incredibly effective each part of the build is while putting it together. There isn't a single piece wasted in this set – every piece adds something, or completes a nice detail or play feature."
