If you move the ball joint on the wings down onto where the tiny cilinder is, the wings have so much more movement. So you don’t need any pieces outside of the set to let the wings have loads of articulation

@blakearius 4 жыл бұрын

I found flipping the wing holders helped the most...jang sorta does it but you gotta switch the wings around. You can also move the stud shooters up and grey pieces on the body back further. It looks the same but has full motion.. not sure why lego stumbled there.

I've notice LEGO no including as many spares either. It seems to be that they only include one spare per set of each piece, rather than per bag. So a set which has multiple sections which use a stud in a specific colour, for example, will only have a spare of that piece in the first bag and there won't be more spares in the rest of the bags containing that piece. The exception is pieces for shooting weapons which still get multiple spares.

Excellent review for an excellent set. I think a skeleton dragon is a very high concept for ninjago that I'm surprised they haven't done before. But to me personally, I think they didn't really take the skeleton part of it too seriously. It looks to me like they just slapped a ribcage on a typical ninjago dragon build and called it a skeleton, cause every other part of the Dragon just looks too thick to be truly bony. I was all for getting the set when it was first revelaed, but after noticing these flaws I a actually purchased the Lego ideas dinosaur fossils set to make my own. Overall thought it is still a great playset.

@yeetus_reetus_deeleetus 4 жыл бұрын

the show depicts this as a large dragon, so making it skinnier would be a bad idea for play value and will definitely not be very sturdy. the only workaround I can see is making it mostly from CCBS to give it a larger bonny feel.
