Read the verdict and alternativesOur take
A display dragon that needs room for its wings
With 715 pieces and a wingspan of about twenty and a half inches, the dragon asks for both building time and a suitable finished home. Rebuilding it as a sea serpent or phoenix extends the construction options. Those alternatives require dismantling the current creature, not simply opening another bag for a companion.
- Best fit
- A patient builder whose favorite part includes posing and displaying the finished model.
- Before buying
- Dragon wings span about 20½ inches. The three creatures cannot be built simultaneously.
Consider these alternatives
LEGO Creator Red Dragon 31145 →
A smaller fantasy gift rather than an imposing centerpiece.
LEGO Creator T. rex Dinosaur 31151 →
The building project and display presence, rather than the number of dinosaurs available for a story at once.
A closer look at the trade-offs
The trade-off
Red Dragon 31145 offers the fantasy theme in a smaller project. Creator T. rex is another substantial creature build. Choose the Medieval Dragon for a patient builder whose favorite part includes posing and displaying the finished model.
Living with it & the first play session
After the wrapping comes off
The dragon model is about 15½ inches long and 20½ inches wide. Allow room for its wings and keep it on a stable surface.
Pose the dragon beside a block-built castle or treasure pile.
