A purchase-with-purchase BrickHeadz exclusive that launched in 2021, Ninjago 10 ties to the theme's tenth-anniversary and its short availability has produced post-retirement scarcity, and while collector interest is real the set has shown only mild appreciation and remains a niche, lower-liquidity holding.
