Recommendation: meh 4.33 / 5 from 9 reviews

While some kids might not like that a particular Ninja is getting a "smaller" dragon in comparison to the others, they should really be grateful to Lego for making any set that includes two minifigs with accessories AND a pretty nice build of a dragon in such an affordable package! Yes, Cole's dragon is not the biggest, but for $10, he's a super value! With quite a lot of different points of articulation, and a really cool brick-built look from stem to stern, Cole's dragon is full of play-ability, pose-ability, and personality without destroying a kids' (or parent's) budget. This set is an easy purchase to recommend to any fan of the series and promises hours of fun for the money. Great job, Lego, let's see more affordable little sets for fans to build their armies and collections with!

This is a nice set but it is SMALL for the price. It's retired so they are charging triple what it sold for in the store.

This is a delightful set. The two minifigures look splendid and Cole's dragon is also very impressive, offering substantial play value and plenty of articulation so you can create some dynamic poses for display. It looks rather small in comparison with many of the dragons included in other sets but I appreciate the unusual nature of the design.
