Interestingly, the instructions don’t include that shoulder armor – and neither does the rest of the box. This LEGO NINJAGO set comes with interactive digital building instructions to make the building experience even more fun. The top edge gets a saddle in reddish brown, a detail I normally expect to see show up much later in the build. Each of the heads has various points of articulation, which is also the case across other parts of the set, including the four legs, each built independently of the body of the dragon and the long tail section. The selection of characters here means you have most of the core cast in one set (with the sad lack of any female characters) as well as a decent amount of baddies for them to interact with.

LEGO 71774 Lloyd's Golden Ultra Dragon was a 989 piece Ninjago set with 9 minifigs released in 2022. I’m sure this will feature somehow in the tv show, but for now it’s just a cool way to corral a copy of all the different golden weapons that come with this set.

The first section might not actually qualify as “tail”, though, as it has the hinges for the rear legs. The dragon is billed as being the largest yet, I’m not sure if this is in terms of scale or piece count. He has a “torso extender” with an extra set of arms, a feature we’ve seen Garmadon sport in several earlier seasons.

The main premise of the Ninjago universe is based around six teenage Ninja, Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane, Nya, and Lloyd, who have been trained by their master Sensei Wu, fighting forces of evil to protect the land of Ninjago. Kids can stage their favourite scenes from the NINJAGO: Crystallized TV series with Lloyd’s Golden Ultra Dragon (71774) playset, featuring a 4-headed golden dragon toy and 9 minifigures. Apart from the dragon heads, there is a lack of any additional details beyond those created by the actual elements.The build begins with the body and considering the overall size of the set, the body section is surprisingly small. The back of the box has a slightly less energetic view of the Ultra Dragon, with the minifigures getting a bit more focus as they surround it. Nine minifigures (one of which is exclusive to this set) and a ton of new part recolors and rare elements all drive up the core cost of the set.

Lloyd gets an inset shot in the upper right, surrounded by an artistic rendering of the Ultra Dragon. The tan stripe on the color carries over into the interior as the background shade for the instructions. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Inside the box are seven numbered part bags, an eighth bag containing golden weapons, and a final bag with the instruction manual. The dragon playset includes NINJAGO’s biggest ever dragon, featuring 4 heads, highly posable legs and tail, and a pair of wings that unfolds into 3 blades – all in gold!

Despite that, it does have a few fun sections, the dragon heads are great and I like that they aren’t just copied and pasted for each one. Black and dark grey accents on the next are the main identifier, as the head is all gold with cute little side horn detailing. These have featured in most of the other new NINJAGO sets and are also dotted around the Crystal King’s temple set. The set includes an exclusive Golden Oni Lloyd; Golden Cole, Golden Zane, Golden Kai and Golden Jay, who are all armed with their elemental golden weapons; Crystal King; 2 Vengestone Brutes; and a Vengestone Warrior. Available in the free LEGO Building Instructions app for use on smartphones and tablets, the zoom and rotate tools help kids visualise the model as they build.

Some of you may know me from other LEGO sites so you'll know I have a good experience of the LEGO community and a deep, passionate commitment to all things LEGO. Plus the wings are a clever mechanism, especially with the combination of elements used to make them work.That area of things is unavoidably cluttered and hard to read in photos, but in person the separate heads stand out from each other pretty well. Kids can relive action from the NINJAGO Crystallized TV series with this dragon playset, featuring a 4-headed golden dragon and 9 minifigures.
