Kai Avatar - Arcade Pod is a nostalgic trip back to the early days of Ninjago's video game adventures. This small set packs a punch with its vibrant colors, unique minifigures, and a fun, compact build that's perfect for display or play.

This set is perfect for Ninjago fans of all ages, especially those who enjoy collecting minifigures. The build is quick and easy, making it a great entry point for younger builders, while the exclusive minifigures add value for seasoned collectors.

Investment Grade

⏳ Retired

The Kai Avatar - Arcade Pod, being a retired set from the popular Ninjago theme, holds some investment potential. Its small size and relatively low piece count make it an accessible entry point for collectors. The exclusive minifigures, particularly Avatar Kai, contribute to its desirability. However, its initial low MSRP means the potential for exponential growth is limited compared to larger, more exclusive sets. The rising price trend suggests increasing demand, but investors should be aware that the market can fluctuate. It's a decent investment for Ninjago completionists, but not a high-return opportunity.

⚖ Compare Similar Sets

Lloyd Avatar - Arcade Pod

Compared to other Ninjago sets in the Arcade Pod series, Kai's pod offers a unique red and black color scheme and exclusive Avatar Kai minifigure. While the build is similar across the series, the minifigure selection and color variations offer collectors a reason to acquire multiple pods. Sets like Lloyd Avatar - Arcade Pod (71716-1) offer similar play experiences, but Kai's pod stands out for its distinct character and color.

2 Minifigures Included

Kai / Digi Kai with Shoulder Armor

The set includes two Kai minifigures: Digi Kai and Avatar Kai. The Avatar Kai is exclusive to this set, making it highly desirable for collectors.
