Features Of The Lego Ninjago Lightning Dragon Battle

taken them all away in their helicopter. It’s up to the Lightning Dragon and Jay to work

Is The Lego Ninjago Lightning Dragon Battle Set Worth Buying For Your Child?
There’s something about ninjas that kids just love. They’re excellent fighters, and
you just never know where one could be hiding! The Ninjago Lego range tells the story of
the good ninja Sensei Wu, looking to protect the town against his evil brother. This latest
set is a new chapter in the story.
The detail on the Ninjago minifigures is excellent. From Sensei Wu’s wise-looking beard to Kruncha’s
scary face and skeleton body – these are like no other Lego minifigures before them.
Some characters are featured in other sets on the Ninjago range, but they often include
subtle differences (such as different weapons or coloring).
The models themselves – the skeleton helicopter and the Lightning Dragon – look excellent
once you’ve put them together. Building them is a challenge, but nothing too off-putting
for kids between the ages of 8 and 14. Once building is complete, there are spaces for
the minifigures to fit inside the helicopter or on top of the Lightning Dragon as kids
recreate the famous battle.
The one downside that most parents will notice about this set is the fact that it doesn’t
come cheap. However, when you consider just how much you get from this set – 645 pieces
total, to make a helicopter and a dragon – the cost isn’t too bad at all. And the set is
certainly unique!
In short, if you have a child who is already into the Ninjago Lego range, then there’s
no doubt this will be a welcome addition to their collection. If not, it’s still a very
high quality limited addition toy that any Lego fan will be happy to play with. The only
thing you need to watch out for is whether it stays in stock over the holiday period.
