Jay's Kendo Training Pod is a brilliantly portable ninja playground. Released in 2018, this clever collectible kapsule packs a complete training dojo into a sleek, pocket-sized blue container featuring Jay in his iconic Kendo gear.

This set is perfect for younger Ninjago fans and on-the-go collectors. With a quick build and high play value, it makes an ideal impulse buy or travel companion that easily snaps shut to keep all your ninja accessories secure.

Skip this if you are looking for a substantial building experience or display centerpiece. With only 28 pieces, the construction takes mere minutes, making it strictly a novelty item for completionists rather than traditional builders.

Not enough price history for a trend

C+

Investment Grade

⏳ Retired

As a retired, niche item from the popular Ninjago theme, these character pods have developed a dedicated following among completionists. While the 28-piece count is tiny, the sealed pod format and exclusive packaging give it modest collector appeal, though appreciation tends to be slow and steady rather than explosive. Investors should note that condition is everything with these pods, as the plastic shells easily scratch and the stickers can peel. Finding mint-in-box examples is getting harder, making pristine retired copies increasingly attractive to dedicated Ninjago variant collectors.
