The Brick Fan
“I really like the set and it kind of makes me regret not purchasing other Ninjago sets in the past. Obviously, the Golden Ninja minifigure will be one of the hottest minifigures this year since there won't be any more Ninjago sets in 2013 and he's only in one other set. The... More Stone minifigures are a nice addition. The main attraction is the Golden Dragon itself. It's very nicely detailed and very articulated. I would totally recommend picking up this set. The price point is also spot on for what you get.”

“Although I can't unreservedly recommend this set, it's certainly not bad, and given all the large parts it contains plus the interesting Golden Ninja and Warrior minifigures in particular it's not terribly priced at £24.99/$29.99. The set should certainly please those who... More are already fans of the Ninjago theme, but I'm not sure it'd win over the undecided.”

“The Dragon is mainly gold and green. It uses the upper head mold from 2509 Earth Dragon Defense, but the eyes are placed further back, and the piece is colored gold and green with different detailing. Like the other dragons; it has wings that fold out, a head that launches a... More ball, a seat for the rider, and legs with black, three-clawed toe elements, but it differs from the other dragons in that it has a split tail and its wings use blade pieces.”
