Dragon of the East Palace Reviews
Jays Brick Blog
“Out of all the sets, I’m most impressed by 80049 Dragon of the East Palace, which is very much on the pricier side of things, but showcases the Dragon of the East’s underwater palace, a really important location in Journey to the West.”
“In the historic epic, Sun Wukong, aka Monkey King travels underwater to the Dragon of the East Palace in search of a magical weapon that matches his strength and skill. Without much luck after trying all manner of weapons, the Dragon Queen suggests that they give Sun Wukong... More a useless iron pillar which has the words “The Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod” inscribed to it.”
