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.

Superb design
on April 20, 2024

For a DnD mini campaign, I wasn't expecting so much content. I especially appreciate all the monsters. The Owlbear is my favorite. If this line continues and grows, I will certainly buy every product available to add to my LEGO DnD collection.

Verified Purchase:No
I spent my OWN money on this AND THAT STUPID MOUTH OF THE DRAGON WONT HOLD. When I finally did the mouth shut I tried to put it in a nice pose and the dragon JUST broke I had all of my nerves up because I spent so much time,effort and how I told NERVES ON THAT THING for it just to break I spent most of my life on Legos. And this is the first time happening I'm super annoyed

It’s… fine
on April 7, 2024
Posted by: ChairmanMellowBread104
This set is ridiculously overpriced for what you get. Fiddly build, not a lot of detail - not as polished as other sets with lower price points. The most recent modular buildings are much more detailed and such a better value compared to this set. Kind of wish I hadn’t gotten it. That said, love the D&D / medieval theme, and appreciated that you can swap out the minifig faces (although I don’t like the minifigs).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

First Disappointing Set
on May 23, 2024
Posted by: ShenaJ
We've put together many, many Lego sets and this is the first we can truly say we've been disappointed in. Although the details are cool, the dragon doesn't really sit well on the set, so to display, he's just sitting next to it. That really lessens the impact, visually. Wish we wouldn't have purchased this one.
