LEGO NINJAGO Cole’s Earth Dragon EVO Ninja Toy 71782 (7+ Yrs)

From pictures, I thought this set looked pretty good, especially the unique pieces used in the head. But after an average build experience, the "completed" set just feels unfinished. The back legs can't move forward or back, only widen, but when you do that, it's feet are so stubby they can't flatten out. And the lack of head articulation is just inexcuseable, a large ball joint could easily replace the current axle connection without any damage to the look of the set. Overall, the only thing this set offers is a few unique parts that could be used to make your own, better dragon. If you want a playset, buy the Evo Water dragon, it's better in every way and almost half the price.

The color scheme is a little crazy but it's mostly cohesive. I like the cow-like shape of the dragon's head; he gives off a strong aura. His arms and legs have extremely limited articulation though which completely spoils the set in my opinion. I understand that less joints=more sturdy and good for play. But why did the only articulation points on the front legs have to be his wrists? And the back legs- they do not move forward and back at all, the just spread in and out. Very weird choice. The dragon's body is also way too long. And if I was younger and actually playing with it, I would find that the wings come off quite easily. This is a decent value though. The parts included are very useful, especially all the brackets and things. I also LOVE the design of the two figures. Great print quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We gave this to my son because he loves anything Nijago. He also has a dragon obsession, so this was ideal. He has now built it several times since he simply loves it. He finds it simple to construct as long as he adheres to the instructions, although it is a little challenging, which is beneficial for him. It does have a lot of pieces, so be careful to assist your child if they become discouraged or allow them to assemble it gradually. Although the age range is listed as 7 and up, I would recommend 9 and up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fun way to spend the evening with the grandchildren. I have never put together any Lego sets even though I have bought plenty. I really like the step by step book. I like also that the outside of the box gives an age so you can pick according to difficulty. Inside the box there are all these little bags of Legos! Each bag is numbered so you know which bag to do next. It was very cool to do this with the grandchildren. Definitely a great way to teach and have fun.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] High quality set keeps the adult interested as much as the kid. Great minute details, easy to put together and get it apart. Each one is sectioned into bags, looking to pick up other in the series, great bonding and building time with my kid.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got this Ninjago Cole’s Earth Dragon EVO for my son a couple weeks ago and I'm so glad I did! He absolutely loves it , he's obsessed with Ninjago so he was super excited when he saw it ! It has a lot of pieces so you have to take your time building it but it was pretty easy for him to put together! Super fun I highly recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really impressed with the package and quality of the toy. They love building Lego and they spend so much time towards building it. My kids had so much fun building this set. The workmanship is too good. This is not just the other toy in the market. Perfectly made for lego locers. Very very durable because my kids build it the other day then they took it apart and started all over again. They really love it. I highly recommend it if your child who is into Lego and loved dragon. This keep them occupied.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lego has always been the very exciting while growing up and creates that small thrill while resolving it puzzles . This Ninjago is no different from that, it will also fascinate the adult not only kids if you are in to the lego world already . The puzzle is easy and exciting at the same time.  As you start building each of the separate sets, you understand that how attention to details are given .  It has quality material and easy to navigate while building up, specially if you follow the manual. You can also mix the pieces and make it more difficult if you want but either way it is very satisfying to see it built. It may be little overwhelming for kids under 10 but i believe that its also the opportunities for them to challenge themselves . So if your kids or grand kids with 7 +years , it may be the perfect gift for them around the year . 

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great Lego set! My kid is a fan of Lego Ninjago and dragons, so this was a perfect match for him! He started building this set and did not stop till the set was fully completed. Instructions were clear and easy to follow, so it was a pure fun with no interruptions!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son is a lake of fanatical stop he collects everything, and we have so many of the Ninjago sets. This was really a great addition, such a great dragon and you can make their wings work too. The spider and the dragon, and their riders have had loads of adventures since we got them

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The lego earth dragon set is a good medium lego build. My son was able to put the dragon together with minimal assistance. He loves the independence and being able to see what he has created. It's a great addition to his lego set.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If your little one loves Legos, dragons or ninjago this coles earth kit is perfect. My son who is at a intermediate level of lego building was able to build this without issues . Dragon is super cool looking , has big wings and really detailed peices coming from it !! The accompanying ninjago characters are really cool too , little guy on the scorpion thing was a hit . Such neat little designs on all of them . Highly recommend!
