📝 Our Take

Skeleton Bowling is a surprisingly fun and unique Ninjago set. Combining the action of Ninjago with a playful bowling alley theme creates an engaging build and play experience, especially considering its early release within the Ninjago line. The inclusion of Jay DX and the skeleton bowling pins adds to the set's charm and collectibility.

This set is perfect for Ninjago collectors and those looking for a quirky, displayable LEGO set. The build is straightforward and enjoyable, making it suitable for younger builders while still offering enough detail to appeal to older fans. The bowling alley design and included minifigures create a fun play scenario.

Skip this if you are only interested in the more modern, complex Ninjago sets. While charming, it may lack the intricate building techniques and detailed minifigures found in later releases. Consider sets like 71741-1 Ninjago City Gardens for a more elaborate Ninjago experience.

Skeleton Bowling, released in 2011, has potential as a collector's item due to its age and unique theme within the Ninjago line. While not as sought after as some larger Ninjago sets, its relatively low piece count and complete minifigure selection could drive value over time. The set's retirement status increases its investment potential, particularly if kept in good condition with the box and instructions. However, its smaller size and less iconic status compared to flagship sets may limit significant appreciation.
