📝 Our Take

Chain Cycle Ambush is a fun, action-packed addition to the Ninjago: Possession lineup. This set perfectly captures the ghostly aesthetic of the season with its trans-neon green elements and unique vehicle design, offering a great play experience and a striking display piece.

This set is perfect for Ninjago fans, especially those who enjoy the ghost-themed seasons. With a satisfying build and three cool minifigures, it provides ample opportunities for imaginative play and storytelling.

Skip this if you're looking for a more complex building experience or a larger display model. Consider sets like the Temple of Airjitzu (70751-1) for a more challenging build or the Destiny's Bounty (70738-1) for a larger ship model.

⏳ Appreciating

Chain Cycle Ambush, released in 2015, is now retired and shows a rising price trend, indicating growing demand. Its smaller size and relatively low piece count make it an accessible entry point for Ninjago collectors. The inclusion of exclusive minifigures further enhances its collectibility. While not a guaranteed home run, its theme popularity and retirement status suggest a solid investment potential, especially if acquired at a reasonable price. However, fluctuations in the LEGO market and potential re-releases should be considered.

Final Flight of Destiny's Bounty

Compared to other Ninjago sets in the same price range, Chain Cycle Ambush offers a unique vehicle design and a strong focus on minifigures. While sets like Kai Fighter (70721-1) offer aerial vehicles, this set stands out with its ghostly theme and ground-based action. If you prefer larger, more complex builds, consider investing in larger Ninjago Temple sets instead.
