"With a BrickScore of 85.4 and owner ratings averaging 4.88 out of 5 across 198 reviews, the Four Weapons Blacksmith is an exceptional 15th Anniversary release that delivers dense architectural techniques, six quality minifigures, and deeply show-accurate design for 99.99 USD at retail. Longtime Ninjago fans and architectural LEGO builders alike have called it the standout set of the wave."
The Four Weapons Blacksmith (71858) is a 1,259-piece Ninjago 15th Anniversary set that landed a BrickScore of 85.4 (Highly Recommended) and has generated exceptional enthusiasm among fans who grew up with the 2011 pilot episodes. Reviewers praise its show-accurate design, dense and rewarding build techniques, six well-printed minifigures, and the building's split-open interior as a standout feature at 99.99 USD. Owner ratings are among the strongest in this batch: 198 ratings averaging 4.88 out of 5, with LEGO.com reviewers scoring it 4.97.
Where they split: The only meaningful tension between experts and owners is the would-recommend figure sitting at 78%, lower than the 4.88 average rating would suggest. This likely reflects a small number of buyers who are not Ninjago fans and found the theme-specific references less compelling. Among Ninjago enthusiasts, endorsement is essentially universal.
