Key Features
Here are what the set offers beyond just “bricks + characters”:
1. Posable Dragon
The dragon has movable wings, tail, head, so it can pose in different action stances. Helps make play more dynamic.
2. Starter Brick & Bagged Builds
Each bag inside contains a smaller sub-model + a character so kids can build a piece, start play with a figure, then go to next bag — helps to keep engagement early. Also Starter Brick helps reduce tedium, letting young builders see partial structure early.
3. Action Elements / Villains & Conflict
Motorbike for Sneaky Snake, catapult for Cobra Mechanic, weapons like spear — gives built-in conflict and “battle scenarios”. Dragon’s egg adds an objective/goal.
4. Multiple Mini Scenes
Two temples, trees; more than one play area so you have multiple “locations” in one set — dragon temple, villain hideout (motorbike chase), etc. Helps variety in play.
5. Kid-Friendly Build & Instruction
Age 4+ means parts are chosen / arranged so younger builders can manage; picture instructions plus app support (zoom/rotate) make it easier.
6. Display & Showpiece
Even after play, the dragon model is visually impressive enough to be displayed. The size (≈ 23 cm length) makes it big enough to show off.

Benefits
What children (and parents) get out of the set — both developmental, play, enjoyment, and practical benefits:
1. Developing Building Skills Early
Because this is a 4+ set with structured builds (Starter Brick, portioned bags, simpler instructions), it’s great for introducing young kids to LEGO building. They learn sequence, following steps, patience.
2. Fine Motor Skills & Dexterity
Fitting parts, moving the dragon’s joints (wings, tail), assembling small temple pieces, handling accessories all help strengthen hand-eye coordination and control.
3. Imaginative & Narrative Play
The theme (ninja heroes vs snake villains, protecting dragon’s egg, temple, dragon creature) encourages storytelling: setting up battles, rescue missions, protection, chases. This supports creativity, language, social play.
4. Sense of Accomplishment
Completing a more substantial set (161 pieces) gives a child pride. The early “quick wins” of building partial models with each bag helps maintain motivation.
5. Role Play & Social Skills
With multiple figures and villains, kids can play with siblings or friends — assigning roles, negotiating who is hero/villain, collaborating or competing.
6. Display Value
After play, the dragon model (and temple) are cool visually, so they can be displayed. This adds more lasting value beyond just active play.
7. Learning Through Play
Concepts like protection of treasure (dragon’s egg), strategy (how to defend temple, chase villains), using tools (catapult, spear), and spatial awareness (dragon movement) are learned incidentally.
8. Encourages Return to Play / Replayability
Since there are several parts (temples, trees, dragon, motorbike, villains) play can be varied — change scenes, replay battles; not just one “pose once and done”.
9. Digital Literacy + Tech Aid
Using the LEGO instructions app gives children exposure to following digital instructions, using zoom/rotate, etc. Helps with spatial visualization skills and comfort with tech tools.
10. Gift Appeal
The set has good “wow factor” (dragon, ninja theme, action features) which makes it a good gift set. Also moderate size & price, manageable for parents.
