LEGONinjago The Golden Dragon 70503 (Discontinued by manufacturer)

kids love it

I bought this for my now 6 year old son, who loves the Lego Ninjago theme. As you may know, Ninjago has a bunch of dragons in the overall storyline, with the four elemental dragons (ice, fire, lightning, and earth) playing a pivotal role in the second season (ninjas versus serpentines). Unfortunately, by the time we got around to Ninjago, the kits with the elemental dragons were already out of production, and some had spiked in price by 400%(!) on the secondary market. The four-headed Ultra Dragon could (and as of this writing) can still be found in a retail set (Epic Dragon Battle), but that one is between $90-100.The Golden Dragon comes from the third season (ninjas versus stone warriors and the Overlord), and at around $25, it's a much more accessible price point. My 6 year old, who has some experience with Legos, put it together by himself without any help and without getting frustrated, so the build seems fairly straightforward. The "blades" that make up the wings can spread or narrow, and there are a number of joint points that allow it to be put into different poses.It comes with a small green ball that can be launched from the mouth; beware that, like most small objects, this can and probably will go missing, giving rise to cries of "I lost my green ball and I need it!!!"The kits has two minifigures: a golden ninja (which is Lloyd) and a stone warrior. The stone warrior is kind of non-descript and definitely not as fun as the serpentines who came in the previous releases. The golden ninja is distinctive and I believe can be found only in this set.

It is a good set. The dragon was a little difficult for my 6 yr old to make but he still managed to make it all by himself. The dragon shoots out a green ball which he loves.

小学校高学年の息子が作りました。意外と簡単に組み立てられたようです。現在勉強部屋に飾っています。

My son really wanted this for Christmas and he loves it! His dad helped him put it together. Hours of play!
