Description

Small piece count, big minifigure ratio

At 132 pieces, this is one of the smaller Ninjago sets on shelves, yet it still includes three minifigures – an unusually generous ratio for a set this size. With 48 distinct parts, there's enough variety to keep the build interesting without dragging it out, giving the dragon enough varied shapes that it never reads as a plain stack of bricks. That makes it a quick project for a spare afternoon, while still delivering enough characters for a proper Ninjago scene. Anyone after a manageable entry point into the current dragon wave will find a model that comes together fast.

A quieter colour palette

Sand blue, dark blue and two shades of grey give this dragon a calmer, more naturalistic look than the brighter tones typical of earlier Ninjago waves. The mix suggests scales and stone rather than flame and lightning, which fits Riyu's position as a young, still-developing dragon in the story. Builders who sort their Ninjago collection by colour family will find parts here that pair well with other blue-and-grey sets. The full parts list on this page breaks down exactly which colours appear and in what quantity, which makes targeted additions much easier to plan.

Who this set suits

The low piece count and straightforward instructions make 71810 a good fit for younger builders or as a quick addition to an existing collection, without demanding much time or budget. Three minifigures also make it useful for scenes with multiple characters at once. Builders planning custom creations can use the parts list as a reference for tracking down matching colours and shapes for other dragon or vehicle builds, making it easier to plan follow-up purchases with confidence.

Where it sits in the size range

Compared with large Ninjago flagship sets, some of which run into several thousand pieces and demand hours of build time, 71810 sits firmly in entry-level territory. Compact sets like this tend to appear alongside the larger models in a wave, aimed at anyone who wants to finish a build quickly or spread a budget across several smaller purchases. Builders planning to move on to bigger Ninjago dragons later will already be collecting matching colours and shapes with 71810, many of which reappear in more elaborate models. For a quick, self-contained build, though, this set works perfectly well on its own.
