Content
The set comes with three sheets of paper which one of them comes in multi-language which you can see on the left side of the instruction sheet, spinner, crown, cards and a bag of bricks. There are no instructions given on how to assemble your spinners and weapon as you can learn them from the packaging.

Minifig
I was attracted to buy this one because I see that the print on NRG Jay are shiny, that is what caught my attention and made me bought it. All of the prints from head to leg are shiny. For now, this minifig only can be attained through spinner. So just grab it if you happen to be the fans of Ninjago.

You might notice that the spinner again is transparent and you can slightly see what is inside the spinner just like the second release of the first season Ninjago playset. The crown are different Kai ZX one.

Completed model
Although none of the parts here are made in China, but the spinner lose grip of my NRG Jay everytime it goes on a battle with my Kai ZX. If you get the right spinners, you are sure going to win your friend or lose to your friend all the time if you gotten the wrong one. Good luck picking up your spinner.
