The verdict

If you loved the original 2019 Land Bounty, this LEGO® set will feel familiar and a little different all at once, and I mean that kindly.

It splits into a flying ship, an off-road buggy and a motorcycle, which is honestly a blast if a kid is going to actually play with it. It won me over as a play set more than a display piece, because the interior stays pretty bare and the original just had more soul. Grab it for the playability and the six minifigs, not for shelf glory.

Best for: Ninjago kids who want a set that comes apart and rolls around the living room floor

The full review

What it is

The Land Bounty is one of those Ninjago vehicles that just looks like it means business, and this 2026 version is a ground-up remake of the much-loved 70677 from back in 2019. At 1,215 pieces it's actually bigger than the original by part count, and the headline trick is that the whole thing pulls apart into three working models: a flying ship with an open deck, a chunky off-road buggy with a two-seater cockpit, and a little detachable motorcycle. There are six gold moving wheels, a stud shooter, a banner, and enough Technic underneath to make all the rolling and splitting feel solid in a kid's hands. If you've got a Ninjago fan who plays with their sets rather than lines them up on a shelf, this one is built for exactly that. It's designed around Season 4 of Dragons Rising, and it leans hard into the idea of four vehicles hiding inside one.

The catch

Here's where I have to be fair to you, though. When you sit this next to the 2019 original, the older one quietly wins on personality. That set had cloth sails, a hidden cannon, even a little arcade machine tucked inside, and this remake goes sleeker and more streamlined but ends up feeling a bit hollow. New Elementary put it plainly: the inside of the vessel stays pretty bare. The engine mounting also throws off the balance in flight mode, and the motorcycle doesn't stand up well on its own without a bit of support. And at $129.99 it's the same price the original launched at years ago, so you're getting more pieces but paying today's money for a design some builders think has less character. One more thing worth flagging: all the surface detail comes from a sticker sheet rather than printed parts, which is always a small heartbreak at this price.

Who it's for

So who's this actually right for. If you want a display centerpiece with loads of interior storytelling, the original 70677 (if you can still find one) or a different Ninjago flagship might scratch that itch better. But if the goal is a set that comes apart, rolls around, launches studs and survives an afternoon of imaginary battles, the new Land Bounty delivers that cheerfully. The six minifigs are a real selling point too, especially the exclusive Fire Monster. I landed on a 3.8, which in my book means very good with real caveats. It's a genuinely fun play set that just isn't quite the classic its ancestor was.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

Building this is very much a Technic-forward experience, and there's a lot of it. You spend a good chunk of the early bags laying down the buggy's chassis and drivetrain so those six gold wheels actually roll and steer off a single axle, then you assemble the upper ship structure as its own module that lifts away for flight mode. The motorcycle is a quick, satisfying little sub-build. New Elementary flagged it as almost a Technic overload in places, and I'd agree the middle of the build gets busy, but the payoff is that the split-apart functions genuinely work rather than feeling like an afterthought. It's a build aimed at a nine-year-old and it respects that, staying fun without getting tedious.

On parts, the standouts are mostly the new and recolored bits. The Fire Monster arrives with a brand-new dual-molded head in black and trans-orange with spikes, which is the single coolest element in the box. Lloyd's Dragon Claw shows up in Pearl Gold, and Nya carries a Katana Holder scabbard in Dark Red, both fresh colorways. You also get a Trans-Light Blue windscreen and some Reddish Brown curved slopes that have only appeared in a handful of earlier sets, plus round half-plates and wedge tiles that are handy for anyone who builds their own creations. At 1,215 pieces for $129.99 you're at roughly 11 cents a part, which is solid for a licensed set carrying six minifigs, even if the reliance on stickers rather than printed tiles takes a little shine off the value.

Fun facts

  • 01This set is a full remake of 2019's fan-favorite 70677 Land Bounty from the Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu era, launched at the same $129.99 price but with more pieces.
  • 02The Fire Monster is exclusive to this set and debuts a new dual-molded head in black and trans-orange, making it the most sought-after minifig in the box.
  • 03Unlike the original, where only a small section detached to fly, here the entire upper structure lifts off and the whole model breaks into three separate vehicles.
  • 04New Elementary noted the Land Bounty doesn't actually appear in the current episodes of Dragons Rising Season 4, so it's more a toy interpretation than a screen-accurate build.
