Kai and Ras's Car and Bike Battle (71789-1) is one of the more compact but visually punchy entries in the 2023 Ninjago lineup, delivering a head-to-head vehicle clash that captures the kinetic energy of the animated series in a surprisingly efficient piece count. At just 103 pieces, this set proves that smaller builds can still carry genuine character and play appeal without overstaying their welcome on the shelf. The set centers on two opposing vehicles: Kai's nimble motorcycle and Ras's pursuit car, built to face off in classic Ninjago fashion. The contrasting design philosophies between the two builds make for an interesting construction session, with the bike demanding precise stacking in a tight footprint while the car allows for slightly more expressive shaping. The color palette leans into Kai's signature red and orange tones against a darker, more menacing scheme for the villain's vehicle, giving the set strong visual identity straight out of the box. Notably, this set ships without minifigures, which is an unusual choice and worth flagging for collectors who build display-focused Ninjago scenes. Buyers expecting to populate the vehicles will need to source figures separately or pull from existing collections. That said, the vehicle builds themselves hold up as standalone display pieces, particularly the bike, which has a sleek profile that reads well even without a rider. This set is best suited for Ninjago enthusiasts looking to expand a vehicle-heavy collection or for builders who appreciate compact, theme-accurate designs that don't demand significant table space or budget. For completionists, it represents a modest but worthwhile entry in the broader 2023 wave. As a currently available set, now is the time to secure a copy at standard retail. Ninjago vehicle sets at this scale have historically moved through retirement without much warning, and secondary market prices can climb quickly once stock dries up.
