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.”
 

About Ninjago Hunted

The Hunted subtheme is based on the 9th season of Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu and is the second part of the Oni Trilogy. The majority of the sets in the Hunted wave focused on the Realm of Oni and Dragons half of the story and was released in the summer of 2018. Hunted follows the supposed demise of Wu and the original ninja who are stranded in the Realm of Oni and Dragons, while Lloyd and Nya resist Lord Garmadon's tyrannical control of Ninjago City.

Hunted was introduced in 2018 and currently consists of 8 sets. As of today, 70654 Dieselnaut is the most valuable Hunted set with an estimated new/sealed value of $399.
