LEGO 71872 Ultra Dragon Battle is a Ninjago set currently available at retail for $199.99 and is projected to retire at the end of 2027. It ranks among the ten largest Ninjago sets by piece count. And it is one of the ten most expensive too. Current new-sealed secondary market prices range from $240 to $359, with the average above MSRP at $215. The Nate minifigure is exclusive to this set and is the most sought-after in the lineup. The set's market is firming up, supported by climbing member interest and retirement drawing closer.

Forecast Model

This shows the set's value since release and where our forecast expects it to go.
LEGO 71872 Ultra Dragon Battle is a Ninjago Legends set scheduled for release in 2026, containing 2,178 pieces and 4 minifigures. The set depicts a battle between a buildable four-headed Ultra Dragon and the Devourer, a large snake creature emerging from the ground. Both creatures are highly posable, with articulated heads, necks, jaws, tails, and wings, and the model includes a detachable display base. The minifigure selection consists of Jin, Mira, Nate, and an Oni General.

Once it retires, which we expect in 2027, our forecast sees a pop of about 16% and a value near $272 within five years.
