The Thunder Raider is a solid vehicle set from the Ninjago Rebooted era. It offers a unique blend of mechanical and organic design elements, capturing the essence of the Nindroid battles and the ninja's technological upgrades.

This set is perfect for Ninjago fans, especially those who enjoy vehicles and mechs. The build is engaging without being overly complex, making it a fun project for both kids and adults and offers great playability with its rolling treads and spring-loaded shooters.

Investment Grade

⏳ Retired

The Thunder Raider (71699-1) has shown a strong upward trend since its retirement, driven by the enduring popularity of the Ninjago theme, particularly the Rebooted storyline. Its relatively low MSRP and limited availability post-retirement have contributed to its increasing value. The inclusion of several Legacy minifigures, including the Overlord, adds to its collectibility. While it may not reach the heights of some larger, more iconic Ninjago sets, it represents a solid investment opportunity, especially for those who acquired it closer to its original retail price. However, potential investors should be aware that market fluctuations can occur, and the value is subject to change based on supply and demand.

⚖ Compare Similar Sets

Compared to other Ninjago vehicles, the Thunder Raider offers a unique blend of organic and mechanical elements. Sets like the Fire Fang (70674-1) offer a different, more creature-based building experience.

The Thunder Raider strikes a balance between playability, collectibility, and affordability.
