Recommendation: meh 4.67 / 5 from 3 reviews

There is nothing bad to say about this set, it is perfectly crafted and not hard to build, Gust is by far the cutest dragon I have. I don't what it is, maybe the color purple automatically makes a dragon adorable. The sanctuary itself is a pretty build, with a waterfall and candle/flame thing on top. Overall this set is nice with plenty of purple, a good amount of unique peices, only suggestion is removing those little studs on the places where the eggs go. Very nice set and probably one of my favorites.

I caution everyone to not order from a third party. I ordered this Lego Elves for my granddaughter. She was so excited and wanted to save it for when she had friends for a birthday sleep over. Upon opening it she noticed a foul odor and then found that it was not the "Dragon Sanctuary Building kit" that was shown on the outside of the box. It stunk, bags taped shut with duct tape and was nothing that it was suppose to be. She didn't open the bags but saw some police figures and other things. Looked like a mess of mixed pieces that smelled awful. I have no idea who sent this as it was a third party thru Amazon so I can't give them a bad review??? Hopefully, Amazon will find out whoever it was and remove them from selling on Amazon.
