Brickset
“The Epic Dragon Battle is the original 2012, (partially) re-imagined in 2019 as the Ultra Dragon (set 70679). This set was the top end set of the 2012 Ninjago sets linked to the 'Search of the Fang Blades.' The set consists of three elements: the Ultra Dragon, the Great... More Devourer and a prison/shrine like structure. This offers a lot of opportunity for play - and so do the minifigures, the majority of them actually being bad guys. This set is a great set, that was first released in June 2012, and has held up very well over time. It is as good a play set as any, and just as great a display set.”
