looks good but weak points

Neck to body joint is weak and pops out. Body pieces near the leg and wings pop out.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Beautiful dragon that could have been more
on September 18, 2024
Posted by: LadySparklingFarmer100
This Dragon is a beautiful design and colorway, beefy, just plain LARGE! The Piece count for the value overall is fantastic, and it's a great build experience. All of that said, I would like to have seen just a few other things from such a high part count.
I would have been happier with a slightly smaller dragon if the Head and claws were brick built rather that the molded head pieces we see in many of the recent dragon releases. Claws, too, could have more parts that make them unique. Individual scales would also have been a step above. It all feels like a missed opportunity with a part count that high.
With only six minifigs, it felt lacking -- One more hero fig might have been nice.
As other reviews have stated, for a set called the Source Dragon of "Motion," it doesn't have the range of motion one would expect. Also, due to its size and weight, its static poses are limited just to keep it stable.
Overall, I appreciate the challenge of balancing size, stability, and motion, and think the design team did a beautiful job! The addition of the throne makes it an impressive, eye-catching display, and I like that the throne is easily removable. It's a gorgeous Dragon on its own. Highly recommend!

Too Fragile for Play
on March 1, 2025

Verified Purchase:No
Any time my son wants to use this Dragon if shatters. It’s not even stable enough to transport from room to room. Despite looking excellent, it is nearly useless due to extreme fragility.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Poor play quality
on January 1, 2025

Verified Purchase:No
When my son carefully followed the instructions and moved the wing into place, the entire dragon shattered. Breaks very easily so not useful for play.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

If you are building this to play with, what my son did. You will be disappointed. The chest area (with the front legs) will break constantly with in hrs of building.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
