LEGO Ninjago Tournament Temple City (71814): Buy Now at ₹18,499?

Your wallet might be weeping at the MRP of ₹21,999, but hold on. Bricks of India has found the Ninjago Tournament Temple City (71814) for a considerably saner ₹18,499. That’s a 16% discount, people. This isn't just another Ninjago set; it’s a sprawling temple built into a rock face, complete with a working water mill that moves battle platforms, a blacksmith’s hammer, and even falling rocks triggered by a lantern. It’s the kind of playset that screams "display piece" and "hours of fun" in equal measure.

The sheer scale of this thing is impressive. Clocking in at 3,489 pieces, it’s a substantial build. The temple itself, over 19 inches high and a whopping 25 inches wide, dominates any display shelf. The open back design is a smart move, allowing for easier access to the intricate interior detailing and facilitating play. You get a 4-tiered pagoda, a bridge, hidden storage, and a secret door – all the classic elements you’d expect from a high-end Ninjago set. It’s clear that LEGO put a lot of thought into making this both a visually striking model and a functional playset.

And then there are the minifigures. Thirteen of them, to be exact. You’ve got all the key Ninjago characters like Lloyd, Cole, Nya, and Zane, alongside newer faces like Arin and Wyldfyre. Plus, there’s a whole crew of antagonists and temple-specific characters, including Lord Ras, Jordana, Mr. Pale, a Blacksmith, a Temple Guard, Roby, and Bleckt. To round it all off, there’s an airship and a posable dragon with blade-like wings. It’s a minifigure army in a box, perfect for recreating epic battles from the Dragons Rising TV show or inventing your own.

The build experience, while not explicitly detailed in the source, can be inferred from the piece count and the complexity of the model. Expect a satisfying, multi-session build that offers plenty of interesting building techniques. The integration of play features like the water mill and falling rocks suggests a dynamic construction process. The inclusion of the LEGO Builder app for 3D model viewing and progress tracking is also a welcome addition, especially for a set of this size.

Now, for the price. The MRP is ₹21,999, which is steep. However, finding it at ₹18,499 makes it a much more palatable proposition. This is a significant saving, bringing it closer to a reasonable per-piece cost for a set of this calibre. Given the piece count, the extensive minifigure selection, and the elaborate design, this current price point justifies a "BUY NOW" verdict. It’s the kind of deal that makes you want to pull the trigger before it disappears.

At review, it was priced at ₹18,499 on Toycra (₹21,999 on LEGO. Code ABHINAV12 takes 12% off full-price sets at Toycra, minimum order ₹500.in). Verdict: BUY NOW.

Standard disclaimer: if you've got the money, obviously buy it — that's what the verdict says too, for once we all agree.

This set is clearly aimed at the older Ninjago fan or collector who appreciates both playability and display value. The sheer number of minifigures and the detailed temple environment offer immense replayability and storytelling potential. If you’re a Ninjago fan, or if you’re looking for a large, impressive display piece that also offers substantial play features, the Tournament Temple City at this price is hard to pass up. It’s a big commitment, but the current discount makes it a compelling one.

On that bombshell, it's time to say goodbye. I'll see you on the next one. Bubyee.

Verdict: BUY NOW. The price is right — grab it.
