About this deal

It doesn't help that the set's mass is divided between the tower part and the dragon platform section, which spreads out the parts and increases the appearance of smallness. I really like the concept behind the design but I really wished that they had made the structure with more bricks. His robe looks all evil and metal, with his big freaking dragon necklace, evil potions, and skeleton of some little creature.

It's got a bunch of other very neat details, including a wizard's chamber, guard roomm, and captive's cell. Flipping the set around, we get acquainted with the mysterious secret entrance to the Wizard’s cave. I can't put my finger on the exact reason, but I think it might be the use of the multiple contrasting bright colors at the same time as the new more detailed style. The problem is that the clay is extremely soft and kinda sticky; when trying to model it around a minifig head, it will always stick to the figure itself and if I try to get it off, it tends to deform and even break. I saw some helpful stuff on eurobricks so I will give it a whirl soon, if you have any images of your acomplishments I would love to see them.

Then overpower the Dragon soldier on the steps of the tower and rescue the princess from the dark dungeon! I'm all for the minifigs and the dragon, so the actual build of this set doesn't bother me to the least. The bottom bit with the interior is nice looking and well constructed and the very top bit with the crystal is nice, but overall, it's too small. My son has lots of legos experience and neede much more help than normal for a 6-12, this is best for an experienced 7 yr old builder or novice 8 yr old. And while the LEGO Kings Castle was definitely the jewel of this series, this dragon with mini-tower, which always served as the bad guy's lair in our house, was a close second favorite, especially after the dragon appeared in the The LEGO Movie .

While I like the idea of the villain's HQ being built on the ruins of an old structure and while the bottom sections are my favorite parts of the set, they are also the set's undoing.

For all the shortcomings of the exterior, I’m glad that they paid quite a bit of attention to the interiors.

Once you take it out, you will still be able to slighty form and bend its shape for a few minutes (but watch out, it's freaking hot, you will burn your fingers without protection), so that's a last opportunity to make sure that its form and holes fit your minifig as perfectly as possible. As a kid my plastic knight figures or Lego and Playmobil knight collections were always the highlight of my play sessions. Some LEGO® sets contain small parts that are NOT suitable for and may pose a hazard to children under 3 years of age. falls well short of this, and it is unfortunately because of the issues I initially had with the set.
