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.

This latest campaign was to test a brand new Classic LEGO Set, and because LEGO is for all ages who doesn’t love to play? I know I do.

My Argos Tester written piece above as seen on the website on the product. We are only able to share six images when we submit a review to the website, and I took plenty more while building this LEGO and testing the contents, so you will see way more of my photography of this product as your scroll down through my blog post. How cute is the LEGO Horse?

Product Name: LEGO Classic Creative Fantasy Universe Building Toys 11033
Product Price: £80.00
Product Link: Argos Website
Product Information: This LEGO Classic Box contains 1800 pieces with brand new bricks and colours ideal for a Fantasy realm including Silver, Gold and Pearl. The books contain several step-by-step ideas and then there are bags more of all sorts of colours of bricks for people to use their imagination and create whatever they want to. Designed for ages 5 and up (due to smaller LEGO pieces) and Adults will also find this set very enjoyable with the view of creating mythological creatures and fantasy worlds. If you like Mermaids, Pirates, Wizards, Knights, Horses, Dragons, Unicorns and even Castles, this is the set for you. And even after you’ve made all of that there will be hundreds of bricks left over to build whatever you can dream up in your mind.

My Honest Opinion

Overall I would like to rate the LEGO Classic Creative Fantasy Universe 5 stars.

Overall Quality 5✩
Features 5✩
Design 5✩
Originality 5✩

The variety of pieces in this box is excellent and the quality of the LEGO bricks is at it’s usual high standard of manufacturing. I love how LEGO start you off with a few ideas in two small step by step books, but then your imagination just takes over and you can think up all sorts of things to make. With so many additional bricks too there is plenty for a whole family to get involved with it and do some creative making. We played for four hours and barely scratched the surface with how many hundreds of bricks still remained.

What I loved most, other than the fact you get hundreds of different kinds and colours of bricks in this set, is that you’re able to use your imagination in a brand new way. By creating LEGO Bricks and pieces that depict things you would find in a Fantasy world, people can create their own creatures and scenarios which I don’t think has been seen that much before in terms of it being a Classic Set. Specific LEGO like Disney, Pirates, Harry Potter, TV Show set ups etc, have that genre specific vibe with pieces you would always expect to see inside. But this LEGO set is totally new, and with bits you may find within those other types of sets, however it’s allowing you to use them how you wish to. Wands, Wings, Utensils, Swords, and hundreds of building bricks alongside these smaller unique pieces, they allow you to let your imagination come up with your own LEGO world.

I would recommend this set to any family that love LEGO or to an adult that loves fantasy and would like to start building basic creatures that they can then elaborate upon. I built my son a second Dragon just by following the instructions and seeing what other bricks were similar enough to do a second model. The same goes for the Horse, we were able to make multiple ones in different colours to mix it up a bit. I want to build a larger castle for my son, so that he can use some mini figures that he got from another set I bought him for Christmas, and combine the two.

Overall I recommend this LEGO set for its diversity and its attention to details. I will now share some more photography that we took during making and creating.

Thank you for reading this product review today, I hope you have enjoyed seeing what my family and I have made so far from reviewing this set. With hundreds of bricks still to use there is no doubt that we will have many hours of fun creating LEGO with the remaining bricks.

If you have any questions about this set then please leave me a comment below or on my social media posts and I will do my best to answer with the knowledge I have gained from reviewing this product.

Thank you.
