“NINJAGO has dragon sets. NINJAGO has mech sets. And now NINJAGO has a dragon and mech set in 71796 Elemental Dragon vs. The Empress Mech, which includes not only a stunning blue and trans-yellow dragon, but a very cool black and pearl gold mech, too. The visuals of this... More summer wave are on point. Riyu pops up again here, accompanying six regular minifigures.”

“This dragon and mech playset will not disappoint in all aspects of play and display, especially for NINJAGO fans who desire for good to overcome evil. With its rotatable arms and legs, as well as movable wings, tail, claws and jaws, Jiro the dragon can be manipulated to suit... More the battle arena and recreate fight scenes that the kids had witnessed in the NINJAGO Dragons Rising series available on LEGO’s YouTube Channel and Netflix.”
