Six minifigs in a $70 dragon set — that's the Firstbourne flex. The dragon itself is imposing enough to anchor a shelf, but the real win is how much you're getting in one box at that price.
Is the price fair?A+Six minifigs and a dragon this size for $70 is the kind of pricing that makes you double-check the tag.
Will you love it?B-The dragon dominates — but the surrounding build won't keep every builder riveted.
Holds its value?C-Ninjago creature sets move on shelves but rarely move the needle on resale.
The Full Take
Firstbourne hits that sweet spot where the centerpiece creature AND the supporting cast both show up to the party. Six minifigs for a $70 set is rare, and the dragon's wingspan gives it genuine shelf command without requiring a dedicated display shelf. The build leans into Ninjago's creature-construction language — articulated limbs, layered wing segments — so there's craft here, not just bulk. Where it stumbles is in the smaller details: some of the surrounding elements feel like filler around the dragon rather than a cohesive scene. Still, at this price point with this figure count, it's hard to find a comparable dragon set that matches the overall package. The A- is earned on the strength of the dragon itself and what surrounds it.
