Red Dragon

Just a short post today to show you my latest Lego purchase! It was even approved by my other half, under one condition, that our daughter is allowed to help me build it.

And here it is, modelled by the young lady herself;

This is set 31024 for ages 7-12 (it's just a suggestion). With my daughter's help it took about 40 mins, but I must say I am very impressed.

Including the Castle and Ninjago ranges there have been a few dragons produced by Lego. I've not always been that impressed, they either have good wings with not so good limbs or vice versa. But this set has it all. They have used a mixture of joints, the staggered clip-hinges, the ball and socket joints and even the newer mini ball and socket joints.

Each have been put to good use, none trying to hold up something that's too heavy or maintain a stance with too much weight applied.

Put together this lends itself to a very poseable dragon. It is also strongly constructed so very playable too! Even (mostly) by a three year old! 

The set, being a Creator set, also makes a snake and a scorpion, but as an avid dragon lover I shall keep it in this form. It has even made it to the office, where today it is keeping a colleague's hands warm!

You can see a lot of the used joints in the last picture. At the price of £17 I think this is a must have for anyone who likes the Creator range, or just dragons in general.

That's my quick post done for today. Have any of you got this set? What did you think of it? What is your favourite Creator set?

Until next time!
