I buy LEGO almost exclusively to collect the dragons, as I enjoy how they tend to be highly poseable and customizable. This dragon turned out a lot larger than I expected, and it's the first black/ white LEGO dragon I've seen in which the predominant color is black and not white, helps it stand out among the crowd.
That being said, the shape of the body strikes me as a touch unnatural, a surprise considering how a lot of recent dragons have looked more and more naturally shaped. Meanwhile, this guy's spine is just caved in like a bowl. A unique profile, sure, if not a slight bit odd. But that's just personal, as is my disappointment that a saddle/ clothing is built into the dragon.
The design of the tail is neat, allowing the dragon to wield a sword, and it's nice to see a new moulded dragon head instead of another reprint of the existing shapes. The dragon's bearded appearance makes it look somewhat more like an Eastern dragon than most LEGO dragons, a welcome addition to the bearded dragon club. Complete with the tattered appearance of the wings, the idea of an elderly creature is conveyed well.
Overall, I like this dragon. I made some modifications to mine, but only minor ones - it's pretty good as is, in my opinion.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids are huge Ninjago fans, but they have so many Ninjago Legos at the moment. I decided to gift this to my nephew, and the look on his face when he received it was priceless! He had fun putting this together and was watching Ninjago while putting it together. It is such a good way to pass time and make precious memories. Bonding time over Legos never gets old and is worth it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To be honest, when you think of Lego you think Durable and long lasting. This Master Dragon is a great looking beast. It is almost 1.5 ft long and has great detail. My 12 year old son put it together in about 2 hours so it’s not super difficult to assemble. Fun build for Ninjago fans.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My other photos won't load for some reason, apologies. This is a great Lego set! My youngest two children are currently working on it. They love anything that they have to focus intently on, Legos, Puzzles, etc. So this was a great addition for them. In true Lego fashion, it's been fun for them to put together and it's holding together great. I know that Legos are a bit expensive but I think the time someone spends really putting thought into the build and time spent bonding when building it together with someone(along with having it on display after), makes it well worth it. Plus, you can pass them on to other family members or friends to let them have a chance at building it and that's always awesome.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging and quality are very Legos. When you want to build something, it is the goto brand. The design is a little more complex, and the instructions are step by step. Overall, it is great quality, and you always get your money's worth. There are so many endless possibilities.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always try to engage my son in activities that will increase his focus and concentration and lego is the best thing i always gift him. This looks like a complex thing to do and will definitely keep him engaged until its completed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loves a challenge. She loves that the legos give her the opportunity to challenge her mind and to start her brain up. This lego set has been giving her brain power!
