Firstbourne Reviews
The Brothers Brick
“I am quite impressed with the design of this latest Ninjago dragon, and conclude that it would make a great addition to any collection, although it might intimidate other dragons with its impressive size and wingspan. The helicopter is also a pretty cool vehicle with some... More interesting parts and rounds out the set well.”
BrickEconomy Member Review
“The Firstborn set offers an impressive dragon build with detailed brick-built wings, a unique vinyl design, and a flapping mechanism. The dragon's intricate head and dynamic tail are highlights, though the thin midsection and some inconsistencies in leg proportions detract from the overall design. Paired with six detailed minifigures and additional side builds like a scrappy helicopter and dragon armor shrine.”
