The imagination toy and the imagination game!
on May 8, 2024
Posted by: StrongSpider098
This is a massive LEGO set. You get the equivalent of about four large scale sets in one box. Three of them interlock and one of them is a massive dragon.
But wait! There’s more! You can actually use this set with an accompanying adventure module to play a DND one-shot based around it. There’s even an actual play of it on YouTube and it appears appropriate for players of all ages and skill levels.
It’s expensive but well worth it.
I do want to add, however, that mine did miss a single piece. I may have misplaced it but try as I might, I could not find it anywhere. Fortunately, LEGO sent me a replacement and I was able to finish building.

A few problems with the dragon
on April 11, 2024
Posted by: Bricktrician
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The problems come from the dragon, the head and tail ball joints are not strong enough to hold the wait that is required of them and is difficult to pose. There is not a built in way to sit the dragon on the ruins of the castle like it is in most promotional material. You can do it but it is finicky.

Really wonderful, whimsical set not without flaws
on April 9, 2024
Posted by: FunnyVornon041
This set is beautiful, it wasn't a challenging build but it was a fun build. Lots of little secrets and stories hidden in the build that I adored. What I dislike is LEGO marketing the set as if the Dragon can attach, at a stud point to the build when that is not the case. It's not the end of the world, some fishing line can create the illusion but at the end of the day it should have been clear that the Dragon has no actual intended connection point to sit like all the cover and marketing imagery. It's still a beautiful set, and I had a lot of fun but what an annoying aspect to deal with.

Dwarves

Official instructions show not to give the beard to the dwarf if you choose to make them female. This is a mistake because everyone knows even female dwarves have long beards

Best D&D lego set!
on April 21, 2024
Posted by: DrZelda21
I gifted this to my husband who is also our Dungeon Master. He loved building it! This was the first lego set he has buildt in a long time. We love the ease of the instructions and the cute little icon that tracks throughout the book.
Our entire family got involved with building! We have a 5 and 8 yr old. We love all the traps, the hidden gem, and especially all the monsters. Who ever decided to add a baby gelatinous cube is my hero!
The dragon is the best lego dragon we have seen yet. My kids have numerous Ninjago dragons, and they do not compare to this version. We are very satisfied with waiting for this D&D rendition!

Complex thoughts
on May 10, 2024
Posted by: CorruptedHarbinger
First of all, this is my first official review of a LEGO product, I have never had enough to say to write one before. This set, on the other hand, finally inspired me to write this. To get the easy stuff out of the way, yes, it’s too expensive. Yes, it should have come with the manual. Yes, the stickers look sloppy because the colors aren’t matched well. But my biggest concern here is with the build. Now, I’m not a professional or anything, but I’ve built a lot of sets in my time. And never in my life has a LEGO set had me scratching my head why they built something this way. Trust me when I tell you that building this thing is like a DnD campaign. You get an idea of what the result is supposed to be, but every step leaves you questioning how the heck you are supposed to get there. When you reach the end, you get a model that has unnecessary extensions to the base that make it harder to find space for, full of frankly weird building techniques and really fun Easter eggs. If you miss a step and have to go back, trust me, I did it too. The instructions have very little rhyme or reason, and some parts look unfinished. Honestly I think they just needed to quality control this one a tad more before sending it out. Some sections are flushed out and beautiful and some are just… exposed plate with no decor? It’s really quite odd. Also, there’s very little direction about how to pose things in this model, especially Cinderhowl the Red Dragon herself. The way that the 360 degree spin shows her placed on the tower is different than the way used on the box, and neither are that intuitive. We needed specific placement information in the instructions itself. I don’t regret buying this set, there’s enough here to really like, but as a LEGO enthusiast, I honestly believe you guys just sent this one to print a bit too quickly. The build is not up to the LEGO standard I have come to expect from you. The instructions are messy and lack a lot of clarity when it comes to model placement. The stickers don’t match the color of the pieces they are on. The minifigures and monster builds are excellent, and the Easter eggs and wealth of weapons and treasures found in this set are truly awesome. I just think you guys put way more effort into that than you put into the actual build. Thanks for reading!
(P.S. Here are some photos of the result of an hour of me trying to figure out how to set the dragon on the tower like the 360 spin video shows(the secret is the wings))

Great Build
on April 12, 2024
Posted by: MadcapWakz025
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The concept is fantastic. Putting it together was a lot of fun. I am looking forward to playing the one-shot with it with my D&D group. The only drawback was that some of the instructions did not flow logically, like when you put the lizardman in the narrow doorway after the room was already completed; not an easy task with larger fingers. This difficulty was also experienced in other areas as well.
