Hi EB, here is another review of a set from previous Ninjago wave ; the titanium dragon. Name : 70748 : Titanium dragon Theme : Ninjago Year : 2015 Pieces : 360 Price : 39,99€ The box Middle-size box with a lovely color code and this wave's "jungle" environment. As always the back of the box shows the different play features. Stickers / Pieces Small stickers sheet to add some details : And 4 bags of pieces (some seem pretty empty) : Well, not a lot of interesting parts Still some beautiful Anacondrai equipment parts and a dark tan "scale" wedge that were already spotted in the 70749 - and 2 parts that I never had before : - flat silver parts that will be used as wings (also present in the Milano set) - technic pin connectors : round 1L in dark bluish grey (in some recent sets - but never seen before for me) Minifigures Again a nice figures combo Let's start with Zane that is now the titanium ninja with a detailed dual head : Then Clouse - magician and Chen's right-hand man - in my opinion the star of this set Dual head for him too and a nice haircut (from SW rebels sets - in black this time) : Last but not least Chop'rai - snake version of Chop with these wonderful shoulder pads : Build We start by building a little outpost for our villains, that hides a key (don't know what this key opens but it seems to be valuable ^^) and a small catapult that throws a chain bola. Now let's move on to the main build - the dragon itself. Not quite convinced with the overall result Good point for the brick-built head, in my opinion it is a great improvement compared to the previous ones with 2 meta-pieces for their heads, but it doesn't look like a dragon head for me. I don't know what to think about the wings either, maybe not the better choice. Not very dragon-ish for me Remaining parts One extra technic pin connector round 1L - else nothing very noticeable. Opinion Well, I guess after reading my review you understand that I am only half-convinced with this set. In one hand I'm a huge fan of the minifigures - 2 great exclusives ones and a beautiful snake - but on the other hand it is really the dragon's body that worries me Especially with previous dragons in Ninjago sets that were really good. Beside the dragon's aesthetic that I am maybe the only one to dislike - the set is very playable, and Ninjago sets are often seen with an interesting discount. So in my opinion I would say that with a lower price why not - else better add some extra money and go for the fantastic 70749. One last pic to conclude :
