Samurai X Cave Chaos Reviews
Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“While Samurai X Cave Chaos has been slightly underperforming yearly growth when compared to other sets in Ninjago, at an average annual growth rate of around 7%, this set is still a decent investment for most LEGO collector portfolios.”
Review brought to you by BrickEconomy Bot
“The Samurai X Cave, vehicles and minifigures allow LEGO builders to recreate and play out some of the epic scenes from the NINJAGO: Masters of Spinjitzu TV series. The cave's open, modular design also allows it to be used for setting up a Ninjago display that shows off the... More minifigures.”

“There is a good selection of minifigs (good & bad guys) too which makes the set feel complete and good value. Parts of the set are a bit fragile and some parts lack clutch power. There are a few gaps around the place which from my perspective equates to a lack of attention... More to detail from the designer but to be honest that can be overlooked.”
