Hello! I’m Sabrina! I am an Argos Tester, this means that I often get items sent to me for the purpose of an online review.

My Review
Ninjago Dragon’s Rising is a highly detailed LEGO set that is perfect for anyone who is a fan of the Ninjago characters, or Dragon’s in general. I was very impressed by how some of the LEGO pieces were used to create the look of this Dragon and Mech.
The creature has so many stunning features that include stickered parts and plastic wings, as well as an awesome skull with teeth and flames. The robot (Mech) dragon rider is filled with nice parts usage and unique features too. It has a cool weapon and several moving parts.
The set contains four LEGO figures too all with amazingly detailed costumes and weaponry. The attention to detail with dragon carvings and swords is incredible.
Due to some pages of the instructions being quite complex, I would say the age range was appropriate, however even an eight year old might need an adult overseeing some of the pieces applications. This is because of the size of the build mainly, it would be hard for small hands to hold and fit certain sections together I feel. It is definitely worth the couple of hours necessary to make this set up though. It would help give imagination to any child who enjoys this genre and has hours of playability.
My favourite aspects of this set are the details and the design of the two main builds. They look both unique and inviting with their colours and shapes. The characters are awesome figures each with their own style and weapons distinctive to them.
Overall this LEGO is easy to complete, with 6 separate bags of bricks, one small sheet of stickers, two booklets to follow and the sheet of plastic add on’s (wings and shoulder cape).
There are a couple of pieces of the build which are easy to knock off during play. My son was happy to test this out for me, and although they are easy to click back into place be aware of that when letting your child play especially if there are smaller children or pets in the home. The Mech robot only stands up well on a flat surface if it’s not on top of the Dragon, so playing with it on carpet might be an issue for this build. To combat this you could put some flat LEGO pieces (if you have any spares in your home) on to the base of its feet.
Would I recommend this LEGO set? Yes I absolutely would do. My son can’t wait to play with it more and thinks the Dragon looks awesome.
This LEGO Set has lots of great features and accessories for all the characters.
Details on the creatures and the figures are wonderful.

As with many LEGO sets the instructions and diagrams are easy to follow but some parts are quite complex. This set is designed for 8 years and over and I agree with that estimate.
