With it being $120, it’s the same price as the epic dragon battle from 2012. While that set was a little pricey back then, it had a large dragon, a sizable, secondary build, and great play value. So, with all things considered, I think this set is reasonably priced for what you get.

I wish the mech itself was it’s own set

It’s the upgraded version of Jay’s elemental dragon from Skybound I could’ve never dreamed of.

The coral pink character has a great design for a figure.

Wish the Empress mech was available on it's own, the sword is amazing, the slender proportions are unusual for a lego mech and it even has full knees and elbows for once!

12:35 I love that the ninja get all new face prints this wave! I had like 12 of the really angry Zane face so it’s really nice to see something new.

FINALLY they did ankles where they just doubled up the ball joints! And the idea of attaching the "helper limb" with a rubber connector is quite genious, I gotta say! The articulation is still quite limited, but significantly less so than all the other large poseable figures they did in the past decade! And in many more ways, the dragon's just epic! And the villainous mech is also quite good! Man, this is a set I really like!

I like this, the dragon looks good, the mech looks good. It feels like a throwback to older Ninjago while also feeling new and creative.

Getting Warhammer 40K Sisters of Battle/Adepta Sororitas vibes from that Empress Mech. Bit sad that it doesn't come as a set on its own; it'd make a great base for a Paragon Warsuit.

This set is wonderful. The different posture for the dragon is very refreshing and we even got a mid-sized mech with great articulation!

Both the mech and dragon look like revamped versions of the cheap ones we got from evo and I love it!

13:51 Really off topic but the blue background lights reflect off the pac man set so well! It makes it look closer to the arcade game. Not sure if intentional but will try that lighting on the set if I get it.

I like the look of the bad guy mech if only it was a standalone set. Not a fan of Ninjago series but they do give very cool looking bad guy minifigure designs that can be reused in other custom themes.

Excellent review jang, seeing this in comparison with you actually sold me on getting it. the dragon looks incredible. however could i ask maybe in the future you could compare the mech to other ninjago mechs, so we can see how it scales with others released recently.

It's weirdly only $129 AUD ($88USD) at Kmart stores here. The Lego store has it at $169.99 ($116.79SUSD). Our on shelf prices include tax too

I bought this set and I’m impressed with the actual things presented to me in the set. It’s quite well done. What I’m not impressed with and am finding to be more and more common is the quality of parts. So many of mine came scratched, scuffed or otherwise damaged. All of my ninjago sets from this season have more than a handful of damaged pieces. The quality control I’ve experienced is egregious. And this is on top of off coloured stickers that don’t match the bricks and the print on the stickers being chalky. I know lego will replace them but the fact this is so, so common is endlessly annoying. This is a premium toy and my building experiences have felt less and less with each new set I buy.

Well Jang...one day, hopefully we'll get a Lego X Bandai cross-over then you can panel line away without worries.

So I get Lego's approach to pretend that Bionicle never happened. But what I don't get is how come System builds never got the equivalent to the Piston system that large Bionicle builds used to have. It worked very well and those were mostly Technic pieces, so I am not even sure why it would go away with Bionicle.

I think the flaws are quite nicely mitigated by the partsforming "transformation" feature. It turns a cool looking dragon into a truly epic looking one. As for the Empress mech, that sword is absolutely ludicrous and impractical, but as a toy for kids, it works.
