LEGO Spring Festival Auspicious Dragon Buildable Figure, Educational Toy for Kids, Dragon Toy Building Set, Great Spring Festival Decoration or Unique Gift for Boys and Girls Ages 10 and Up, 80112

I purchased this set the instant I saw it, and what better time to do it than Chinese new year? The year of the Dragon! I've been a fan of Chinese culture for a long time and the iconic imagery of the Dragon is something I've loved since childhood, so this set was a must-buy. Even the box is a work of art; with its deep red dragon and Chinese lantern theme. Build wise it's pretty straightforward, the instructions are clear and that makes things much easier - there are a few more advanced build techniques in there, but as I say the instructions are so clear I don't think anyone would be stuck for long. The set is age rated 10+ and I think that's about right for the difficulty. If I can offer one small criticism for the sake of trying to make this set as accessible as possible - There are several elements in the set which are likely to spark curiosity and questions, the name plate and the blue crystal (or pearl). Unfortunately Lego missed a trick here as the instructions contain no information about these elements and I think it would have been a good move to include some printed information about these elements and their significance. I would very much like to see Lego continue and do some more cultured sets like this and if they do, I sincerely hope that there will be some information in the instructions for those who aren't aware. But this is a minor gripe, as you can always research the images. So when all is said and done you're left with a completed dragon, a truly striking piece and something that's not stopped drawing my gaze since I completed it. I absolutely adore it and I think I'll proudly display this one as a permanent display piece. Well done to Lego, well done to the designer - I'm simply blown away by this one.
