LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Medieval Dragon main model review! 31161

[@FlymanMS]

I think it's one of the best 3-in-1 Creator sets released in a while, looks very solid.

[@ivanm3342]

they have been very good lately, but thats a highlight for sure

[@randam1005]

The teeth being built like that makes it super easy to add in a 1x1 round plate with bar to attach a fire piece to. You can have a fire breathing dragon with like 2 or 3 extra pieces

[@julien827]

even better: rotate the teeth, then use them to place one of the many fire pieces that ends with a bar, you really dont need any other piece than the flame one, plus rotating the teeth actually looks better cause it emulate them being on both sides rather than being in the center

[@metroid767]

Just rotate the teeth themselves. No extra pieces needed

[@PlazDreamweaver]

Yeah, it's awesome.

[@pewpewdragon4483]

alternatively you can turn the clip and put a piece of fire on that too. speaking of which... this set could use a handful of fire pieces and it would be perfect

[@keldera]

I love the red and green calling back to the 1993 dragon.

[@ivanm3342]

OOoooooooh

[@ianism3]

yeah my first castle growing up was the fire breathing fortress. not the best castle ever, but it's my #3!

[@Llama78_9]

Amazing looking dragon. I really like the brick built wings, after years of vinyl and fabric on the Ninjago Dragons.

[@StrykeSZN]

agreed, i don’t mind vinyl but i wish it wasn’t ALWAYS like that on ninjago, it makes the dragons become very repetitive

[@wjack89]

Creator 3 in 1 continues to be the best Lego theme. Absolutely love this build and its call back to classic castle

[@gerardomartinez7743]

What a beautiful set, I remember a time when only mocs were this detailed 😂

[@xeron_7433]

I fell in love with this build as soon as I saw the initial pictures and after getting my hands on it, it immediately became one of my favorite dragons Lego’s ever made. In addition to being an excellent set on its own, I also love how much it resembles the classic 90s Castle dragon, it makes for an excellent companion set to the Lion Knights Castle. Great review as always, Jang!

[@UtarEmpire]

Really impressive. I actually just finished building the D&D dragon last night and I like it a lot, but this one looks even better. Thanks for the review.

[@ivanm3342]

well, at least you have the beholder. The awesomest lego creature of the year in my opinion

[@manireik]

Your excitement with the wings! Love it haha

[@liamthompson8563]

"LOOK AT THAAAAT!😱" lol😂😂😂

[@elios741]

This set will go down in history as one of the most legendary LEGO Creator sets ever made.

[@historyhud196]

I LOVE how when it fell over from upright to standing it not only looked like a real movement, but it landed in an entirely believable pose as well 🤌🤌🤌 11:41 I was always going to get this set, but now I'm about to place the order. Thanks Jang!

[@worldsheaviestjamband93]

It’s genuinely impressive how good it looks from ALL angles. Great review Jang!

[@adipradanat.r.8770]

Now the old 3in1 dragon set can rest

[@Quiet737]

I wasn't a huge fan of the red dragon in the DnD set, but I did love the green dragon that was in the original submission. This definitely fills in that void

[@Dr1fto]

I'm going to have them fight on the dnd set

[@julien827]

having visibles eyes goes a long way

[@davidmducc]

Personally love the Red Dragon but this seems so awesome too

[@khululyp]

The red dragon is iconic for DnD art though so it is quite understandble they chose it. yes there are different dragons on covers the first set had a red dragon on it and red dragon are overall more present on them.

[@julien827]

probably my favorite dragon lego has made, no cheap tricks like a big head mold or big wing pieces/thin sheets as specialezd pieces brick builts will always be how you sell a set to me

[@julien827]

this would be a 10/10 set as a standalone set imo, so the fact that not only it comes with sub assembly, but some of the best looking sub assembly? The designer behind this set should be extremely proud to add this to their resume

[@legalwaterdrinker3286]

​@@julien827 Lego has been cooking with their animals sets lately

[@davidmducc]

If you've seen the DND set it has a brickbuilt dragon

[@extremepayne]

I’m really impressed by the variety of useful dragon poses available! Thanks for showing them off, I really didn’t get that from the marketing material

[@JainaSoloB312]

stalagMites, like the bug, crawling on the ground, that's how I remember it, haha This dragon is so cool! The wings are genius and somehow feel like all the 'feathers' are connected in an invisible wing membrane Despite my bias for Maleficent, this is now definitely the best Lego dragon imo I love how it pounced at 11:38 haha Now I've gotta decide whether to get this, the modular spaceship, or the midi scale Millennium Falcon Thanks for the review Jang!💜

[@warrennewman5325]

Looks amazing this will go nice with the lions knights castle awesome review jang 👍

[@JANGsLEGOreviews]

Thank you 🤗

[@maxgoldstein8778]

I recently purchased this and love it for fantasy scenes and maybe eventually some Lego DnD play. I also enjoy how it provides easy inspiration for dragons of other colors/styles. The basic nature of the parts means you could easily build a white and blue version for a frost dragon

[@lssproductions3180]

It's pretty refreshing to see a dragon like this considering how many appear in Ninjago and the style they have these days. Not sure if I will get it since I do still go for the Ninjago ones, but I'd take it if I was given it

[@Klaevin]

I love how there's enough red pieces to make an entire boib

[@aaronc9294]

I love it, but man i wish they would just make the joint pieces in other colors besides grey

[@thedocsays]

I love this and will pair it with Lion Knights' Castle!

[@AmmoGiraffe]

Too many reviewers neglect the amazing work these 3-1 designers do, nice to see jang give this its deserved compliments

[@alexkull24]

It's perfect! The classic representation of a Dragon from fantasy books! It only needs the fire effect and to fight a Knight!!! 😍😍😍

[@Ciero9]

One nice detail this has is the pearl gold pieces located in the legs and chest. They make the dragon appear as though bits of its hoard have gotten stuck between its scales.

[@poockoo]

Stalagmites have the "g" in them for the ground - that's how I remember it.

[@thegreyinitiate3680]

I always remembered it as stalactites having to hold on “tight” to the ceiling

[@SeaBeast4Life]

I always remember it because Stalactites have to hang on tight because they're the ceiling ones lol

[@wanderingaming5805]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SET Ever since I first saw pictures I was sold on it. This will go straight into my world next to my d&d set and mocs. Always love your reviews!

[@cloudsaysthings]

I actually just built this last night! Love that there's a 2x2 space behind the head and neck of the dragon where you can place a minifig.

[@nkende]

Fantastic build, I love the colors, and it's even a 3in1! Even the value seems good! Really happy with this one, I will be trying to get it while on shelves. Great review Jang!

[@Dotification]

Great looking dragon & sea serpent! I like how the secondary sets either reuse the body type/pieces or the wings.

[@RogerMollet]

The head of the dragon is pretty great.

[@Kralls_workshop]

I watched few reviews of this set and yours is the most in depth one, I no longer feel like I need to see another one because all the stuff I was concerned about was covered here, good job.

[@CatRaph]

I already liked the wings, but now I love them! Vinyl or cloth pieces that are usually used give color and shape, but are thin and floppy and requires technic for the structure. It just doesn´t go well together. The brick built wings gives a cohesive look all around and the articulation is just the cherry on top!

[@deang5386]

I like how you managed to get the Dragon to stand up on its rear legs at the end. I saw another review that said it was impossible.

[@klausM54]

IMHO the proportions are not just good, but really great. I like the squatted look of the hind legs. The dragon doesn´t look fat or particularly massive, but stable and strong. The length of legs and wings in relation to the torso also make perfect sense, great build.

[@RiksGamingChannel]

this dragon is such a cool build, I love how you can put a minifig on its back

[@RizzlyBear-298]

This dragon takes me back to early Lego Creator in very good way. Definitely one of my most anticipated sets of 2025. Thank you for the review, Jang!

[@michaelcasserly5861]

Thank you for your thought on this. I am glad you did this review. I found it very helpful. Thank you Jang!

[@Nasuto1702]

One of Lego's best dragons yet.

[@youtubeaccount2302]

Jang you are so good at these reviews, and I’m loving the OtherBricks reviews too. Thank you for sharing your passion and your talent!

[@cloak9681]

i bought it and have enjoyed the build and the final look with no vinyl wings or specialized molded / colored head etc. The value is really there

[@mintakamothkind]

I adore this thing. Lego has really come into their own with dragons in recent years.

[@andrewgwilliam4831]

That's a gorgeous dragon! And especially impressive that it's brick built. (Not to mention the limitations a 3-in-1 set impose on the design work.)

[@jbh269]

The wings alone make this my favorite dragon set ever. I'm sorry Ninjago, I know you got the source dragons and all but this is just so good

[@riverraven4014]

Thankyou Jang that was a great look at him, looks awesome cant wait to see the others!

[@waveburner1254]

This reminds me heavily of the Legoland Mascot. It was a cute tubby green dragon. Look how he grew up. Also this is one of the best looking recent dragons. Very classy, very nostalgic.

[@HooFbauer]

I'll buy this as soon as I find a good discount

[@mr.wassell7885]

The loch dragon is one of the cleanest alternate builds that ive seen lately; all of the models are roughly equal in quality, so I might get this set

[@EhFrank]

I love this set, the green dragon is so cool! And it looks great displayed with the Dungeons & Dragons set. The red dragon has a more impressive-looking design I would say, but this green one just feels better constructed, it feels sturdier and is easier to pose and move around. And the bottom jaw actually stays attached, unlike the red dragon! I'm almost tempted to get a second one of this set (maybe once I can find it on sale) so I can build that awesome-looking sea-serpent as well and have both displayed at once.

[@octobotimus]

I think what surprised me is how the tail doesn’t look like an afterthought. It’s actually pretty proportional to the body itself for once.

[@nickricci19]

Man I want that classic sea serpent so badly 😂

[@MiloW456]

11:06. That's actually rly impressive. Its not even resting on the tale. That whole thing is being held up on two small Mixels ball joints.

[@vincentwiddershoven2122]

Now thats what i call a fantasy dragon!!! This set is AWSOME and goes 110% with the D&D CMF series... wow, just wow. 😊

[@CarterGray1]

Really great stuff. Love the brick built wings! Couldn’t think of a better color scheme for the whole thing if I tried

[@mrpoool1015]

This is such a fantastic build, I wish this would've been available as a kid

[@ThatGuyNamedJoe]

this would be perfect for that lego dnd set, I love the way this looks ! the color scheme also reminds me of the classic lego dragon figure from the 90s.

[@holgerdornseiff3202]

Great fun for not too much money! Love the design of all 3.

[@aepkeallah]

man, Aaron Neuman is a genius, first killing it with mocs and now with this creator sets

[@Bulldozer4000]

Absolutely gorgeous, those wings and head shaping are immaculate. I've got the red dragon from the D&D set already, but if I find this one later down the line with a bit of a discount I would 100% get it. Looking forward to your reviews of the two other models!

[@fredericduran5186]

Should look cool with lionheart castle

[@SO-ym3zs]

I'm more of a Funwhole and Pantasy guy at this point, but this is a cool set. If it goes on sale, i might get it for my medieval sets. Good review!

[@LuigiG145]

The "feathers" you praise a lot are specifically equivalent to the primary coverts (sometimes just called "primaries") on a bird's wings. They are the larger, longer, veined feathers with developed quills that anchor to the base of the finger (starting from the 2nd finger). So it is very cool that the designer managed to recreate, or at least approximate, that same thing with a brick-built structure. Although to be fair, the designer could have also been trying to approximate the leathery, bat-like wings of some dragons where they fingers/digits can sort of accordion like that with a membrane connecting them. Either way the wings on the set are genius in engineering.

[@Shylock0031]

7:55 Ernest says "Wy-Verrrrn" 😂😂😂

[@M0torsagmannen]

this looks excellent, really like the main build but also the phoenix looks to be pretty worthwhile, with probably a lot of leftovers to make something nice out of in green. the sea serpent looks to be too static for my liking though

[@seanpfun]

Great review. Looking forward to the sea serpent build, it might find it's way into my pirate display.

[@bricktoadbuild]

Excellent design and playability. Love it.

[@jasonschmucker]

Aaron Newman is a genius. I'm getting every 3in1 set he does

[@seldonplanB-24]

Love it! Even tho it's relatively simple, getting strong Vermithrax vibes from this one. I wonder if the designer(s) was a fan of Dragonslayer?

[@DavisBrown-u9b]

This literally looks so incredible and I will definitely be picking it up if I get the chance

[@brandonweaver2854]

I always remember the stone pillars as stalagmite-reach-the-ceiling and stalagholding-tight-to-the-ceiling.

[@Bucketroo]

Okay, yeah, this is a really good build. It looks great and articulates well. This makes a nice addition to the D&D stuff.

[@jeffreycoyle12]

Model looks great. Totally agree about the wings. Thanks for the review

[@cjp1599]

Easy way to remember- stalagMites are like Mountains… The associate the Mites as Mounts. All about the M.

[@BricksBlocksMocs]

Love everything but the head, it feels a bit lacklustre compared to the design choices of the rest of the build. I think the bottom jaw is the issue for me. Don’t mind the upper part.

[@andrewepp6763]

This is very cool, but I would have absolutely loved it if they could have done a dragon of this scale but in the design of the vintage moulded dragon instead. No hate on this but I just feel an opportunity was missed. Thanks for the review Jang!

[@idkwhattohaveasausername5828]

As great as this set is, it just makes me want a return of castle more lol

[@brainblessed5814]

A sea serpent should work good for a viking set.

[@SO-ym3zs]

Yeah, it's painful when Lego just releases little drips and drabs of Castle-themed sets without going all in. On the bright side, Funwhole and BlueBrixx have released a ton of medieval sets since Lego won't

[@TTHBLOX_]

Such a magestic beast. Need it for my D&D display

[@A-Ner2]

i bought the set before this review and it's pretty much as excellent as you described, but i'm unfortunately quite torn with the head. the profile and sithoulette is IMMACULATE, but it begins to look weird when shown at a front angle. it reveals how blocky the lower jaw is and some strangely colored pieces behind the brackets holding the Nexo shield pieces in place. i've modded the set to hide some of that because i still absolutely adore the idea of the head shape, especially the use of those claw pieces for the brow. I also got rid of the 2 x 2 "stopper" tile for more neck movement which was an extremely easy fix. I've seen a lot of comparison between this and the D&D dragon a year back here and as someone who built that dragon, i also think the two are comparatively sized and should work as a placeholder if you intend to replace the dragon in that set or need a fantasy dragon, but don't want to buy either the D&D set or a Ninjago dragon (what i did). You could totally mod it to be all green and use the fabric wings on the Lloyd's Legendary Dragon set from 2022 to make a fully green dragon to compliment Cinderhowl too.

[@lukedogwalker]

I see and appreciate the avian look the designer was going for, but I'd still like to try swapping the head for the one from the green T rex (with some small mods) to give the head real cinematic presence, because that's what dragons are all about!

[@NotSoFinalProductions]

Honestly, this may be even better than the D&D dragon, and THAT was impressive.

[@jakubadamec3243]

pure awesomeness. I told myself not to buy lego anymore, but this one, makes my brain cells jumping

[@PlazDreamweaver]

Amazing set and probably the best Creator 3-in-1 in a while. It's very poseable so I can make some nice dynamic poses with it. It's perfect with the Lion Knights Castle, and offers a real good guys vs bad guy(s) scenario which the LNC mostly lacks on its own (the Black Falcon embassy is not making it past that gate, lol). My only complaint is the head sags. I worry it'll sag more over time, but it's manageable at the moment. I'll try pinching the female socket to keep it a bit tighter (no pun intended) like I did with some of my older Bionicles back in the day.

[@cyanimation1605]

5:24 !uh double up uh uh Well this set went from a definite buy to a *DEFINITE BUY (that's smaller than I expected)!!!!!!!!!* Definitely the best 3-in-1 animal since the unfortunately-detailed tiger, which is saying something after the absolutely stellar fox, giraffe, peacock, and pandas.

[@Dreadwolf3155]

have my first copy, have not yet built so very interested in this review, especially after having been let down by the dragon in the DnD set

[@IIIWITHOUTaNAMEIII]

Great set. The sea serpent looked boring first, but once I built it, it grew on me. Curious to see what you think.

[@m__y-t-s]

That treasure chest is really neat.

[@mattwill19]

I may have to pick this up great review Jang you sold me on getting this one. That posability is top notch on the dragon and the fact it's all brick built no special pieces

[@1thomas277]

shout out to the designers they killed it

[@Rolodzeo]

Easily one of the best 3-in-1 sets recently.

[@BricksNGiggles]

Looks great. I was excited to see it when first announced. It looks fierce standing on it's hind legs !!!

[@gnollman]

I picked this up at release, very nice set. Very recommended.

[@benjaminhuether3846]

It seems like a missed opportunity not to include a Dragon Masters figure here, since this has the classic colors, and I think that torso is probably still in production. Nit-pick, though. The only thing that makes me question buying this is that it's the same price as the giraffe, and I think I'd just pick one or the other.

[@davegillbert8947]

This completely 𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘸 under my radar. def gonna put with the lion knights castle

[@edgarmaestre6622]

Best wings i seen on a lego oficial set!

[@tommystirland6715]

Although I have not measured it myself, I imagine there’s a lot of good uses of the golden ratio. A lot of the ratios look pretty 1:1.618. This is a set I will for sure pick up sooner than later

[@batbrick3949]

Looks like a great set with great parts, I’ll probably get it. For dragon wings I always prefer cloth or plastic film. Brick-built wings never look big enough for the dragon to actually fly. But, that’s just my preference.

[@beckywilson1550]

Wish the month was a little bit wider

[@krtwood]

I have heard George RR Martin rant about dragons only having two legs too many times to accept a dragon with four, but luckily it's made out of bricks. I just wonder how difficult it will be to get it to balance with the front legs removed.

[@shadowlaughers101]

Ive already bought and built this set. And ive said ti once and ill say it again. This has become my favorite theme by far
