These lego creator series kits are lots of fun and this one is no exception. It instructs you on how to build a very big dragon and even has moving parts on the final creation. Overall every lego kit is fun, even if its just a house on a regular street it can be fun. Maybe that house reminds you of where you grew up, or where you favorite aunt used to live something as simple as rehashing a good memory is enough to make a lego set go from fun to fantastic. Every little boys and girl had legos growing up one way or the other, we had them as kids and always kept a massive bucket of mixed up legos so you could just dump it out and go nuts for hours on end. I dont think they make just a regular dump and play kit with random legos in it, but one thing i do hate about these kits is that once you tear open the bags you are screwed, so we started putting them all in gallon resealable bags as soon as we open them that way we can label them and put the instruction inside too. This helps to keep it organized and saved barefoot parents from a late night stone bruise from what should bend under the pressure of a 160 lb adult but instead seems to get stronger the more pressure you put it under kind of like diamonds. there you have it ladies and gents the only substance harder than diamonds, lego bricks underfoot of a sleepy grown up.

Outstanding! The dragon is so cool that my daughter won't take it apart to build the other animals. The detail is fantastic. It's roughly the same size as the dragon that came with her 70403 set and so scaled to minifig size but much, much better looking than it's few-piece counterpart. It's very articulated, must be twenty joints that move. They move easily but I'm surprised they are all stiff enough to stay where placed. No loose or floppy connections because Lego builds the molds to very precise engineering and holds their product to very tight quality control, especially since these are only toys. Plenty of manufacturers in other industries could take a lesson. Read more
This Lego set has been a surprise. I'm not a big fan of organic Lego models. But this set has changed my mind. The dragon is fully posable. The set itself includes a lot of ball and socket joints, that not only make this set incredibly playable, but will certainly enhance the collection for building other models. I also like the burgundy color. These bricks look great on the dragon and would also be a nice enhancement to the bin. I say buy it now before it's retired. Read more
honestly had this not been missing two piece it would have been my favorite set ever! My daughter kept asking me to make a dragon out of our legos. Try as I might to come up with one I just couldn't so I caved and bought the kit. I was so excited. My four year old...not sure. I'm annoyed that there were two missing pieces but luckily I was able to improvise using pieces we already had. I have high expectations of Lego - so a little disappointed but love it nevertheless. Oh, the articulations stay put pretty well so you can pose it all sorts of different ways. Very cool! Read more
I bought this for my son's 6th birthday, and he just loved it. He is on the autism spectrum, and building this little kit kept him still, interested and content for hours, and to this day he takes it to bed at night. We have not yet tried the snake or scorpion, but this was well worth the time and money for as much happiness that it brought. If you have a youngster who likes dragons/dinosaurs/legos in general, this is worth picking up. The dragon stands about 6 in. high and maybe 8.5 in long. 100% worth it, I just wish there were more like it. Read more
My 5yr old son is a huge Lego fan! This was the first Lego Creator we purchased for him and even I love it. Other Lego sets are just basic and only 1 build design. I love how this offers 3 different builds in 1. I never played with Lego when I was a kid, so this is awesome to me. It says for ages 7-12..but my son is 5 and I never have to help him build any Lego set, no matter the age recommendation. Overall I'm very satisfied with this purchase and my son is as well! If you have a die hard Lego fan, you have to buy a Lego Creator set..your kids will love you forever! Read more
My son adores this lego set. He put together each different creature all in one day. The dragon was my favorite, and his as well, so he now has his lego dragon sitting above his bed on a shelf, so that the pieces all stay together and not get mixed in with his acres of legos in their various buckets. Lots of tiny little pieces in this set, so I would not recommend it for younger than age 8. My son is 13, and still loves to build with legos, so he was able to do this set very quickly and easily.

We bought this for my son’s birthday. He immediately started playing with it and the legos were either dried out or bad quality because it easily snapped. Yes! The legos piece snapped in half. Weird. I thought it was just that one price but as I looked at the other pieces , we had to be gentle with them and legos are pretty sturdy because you have to apply pressure to all of them to press them together… not these. We paid well over $100 for this and I’m sad to say we need to now see if we can either get a refund or something because he can’t play with it anymore. Some of the pieces have snapped and he’s afraid to break them putting it together. We had to glue some back. (You’ll see in photo white part is dried super glue) Sad day Read more
