Recommendation: meh 4.8 / 5 from 131 reviews

This is easily one of my favorite Ninjago Dragons I have ever purchased. While it may be small in size, this figure retains all the same features as the original, and features even more articulation. It also comes with two really desirable Minifigures (Golden Lloyd, and the Overlord), and one figure that is nice for Army building (a Stone Scout). I would say if you are a Ninjago fan and you missed out on the original golden dragon like I did, this is a must have. If you already have the original, you still may enjoy this set, but you might find it disappointing.

Recommendation: meh 3.4 / 5 by Vaderfan2187

Overall, I think this set is okay, but not great. The minifigure selection is good, but the build is just alright as it's too skeletal for my liking. It's also kind of small which is disappointing, as a large golden LEGO dragon would have been absolutely epic. Playability is okay but nothing really jumps out, and the price feels too expensive, especially in relation to the size of the build.

Recommendation: meh by CapnRex101

Creating a smaller version of a retired set is probably among the most difficult challenges that a LEGO designer can encounter, particularly when the original model was very popular. However, I am pleased with 70666 The Golden Dragon. This dragon offers superior articulation and looks threatening, despite being considerably smaller than its predecessor. The updated head, for instance, is highly detailed.

Recommendation: yes by Nathaniel Stoner

It was a great choice on the part of the LEGO Group to made 70666 The Golden Dragon a smaller set for this Legacy series, letting children get access to the unique golden dragon and Lloyd in his gold form. For NINJAGO fans, this is a must own in this wave of ninja-nostalgia, especially at the incredibly fair asking price.
