Mega Construx Game of Thrones Daenerys & Drogon

Arrived quickly and was so much fun to build! I was not missing any pieces but the instructions are definitely not for people that are inexperienced at building things like this. The 2 pieces that curve around the chest look almost nothing like the picture so I did have to take it apart a few steps and add the pieces again but all is well!

I am VERY impressed with this Black series set from Mega Construx. We finally binged all 8 seasons of Game of Thrones in just under 2 weeks and became huge fans. And when we're big fans of something, we start buying collectibles.I had previously purchased some other smaller Mega Construx sets based on the Call of Duty video game. I also purchased the Alien queen from Aliens. At the time, however, we hadn't watched Game of Thrones yet so I had no idea these GOT sets even existed!This is a huge set when completed and I'm really impressed with Mega's attention to detail. I also like that they incorporate cloth materials into their sets (Drogon's wings.) This is NOT an easy build by any means. Definitely for an experienced builder. But if you're patient and follow the instructions very carefully, you'll be rewarded with a truly awesome piece for your collection. Tons of articulation in Drogon's wings, legs, and tail make this easy to move in all kinds of different poses.The instructions are split into 2 books with each containing approximately 30 pages. The pieces come in 10 separate bags. Even the mini figure of Daenerys is impressive. The articulation of Mega's mini figures blows Lego's out of the water.I paid just over $40 for this set and, at that price, this is an absolute no-brainer. Don't even hesitate if you're a fan of construction sets OR Game of Thrones. This normally sells for close to $70 and even at that price, it's a great set. $40 makes it a must have. I will be purchasing more of Mega's "Black Series" sets in the future. This set made me a fan!

I'm a long time lego fan, and my son is just now getting to the age where he can start playing with them. I own the original lego dragons, Ninjago dragons, and even some from other brands. This is by far the BEST one you could ever own! It's huge and is very well made. I absolutely intend to buy the other colors after seeing how great this one is.

I love this set. The dragon is great, It’s one of my favorite brick built things I’ve ever bought and it out does Lego by leaps and bounds. The wingspan is huge, the bricks are sturdy, It wasn’t hard to put together at all. I really do highly recommend this toy for any Game of Thrones fan or even dragon fan. The only complaint I have is that my Daenerys figure came with some pretty lackluster face printing that rubbed off with a single wipe of my finger. But she barely matters in the grand scheme of the set and I really only bought it for drogon.

The end result of this set is very satisfactory, as Drogon looks faithful to his actual on-screen incarnation despite many times buildable figures by Lego and Mega Bloks are far more abstract than he characters they portray; this one looks close enough that it doesn't have that "abstract" vibe to it. Drogon is also big....very big if you spread his wings out and pose him as if he were flying. I really enjoy the wing build on him, especially with the utilization of cloth vs. rubber-plastic, like the small buildable baby dragon version of Drogon by the same company. The paint job on the head is not as clean as I would have liked, but it is bearable and not exactly a con.However, in terms of building it, this set is definitely not for children and certainly not relaxing to build unless you're incredibly patient and take breaks...and even then, it was frustrating at times and far less fun than building with Lego. It took me about 5-6 hours to build primarily because the bag system does not work, and so you end up forced to spend a lot of time hunting down pieces off sometimes convoluted instructions considering you're basically forced to put all of the parts into one pile. That was my main issue, especially when after a while that many pieces kind of turned into a blob of same colored pieces to my eyes, at least. Some of the instructions show pieces that don't actually exist and are actually different pieces, which was a wee bit maddening when you're looking for parts that aren't even the actual thing and thinking there are missing pieces. Luckily for me, my set didn't have a lot of quality problems with parts coming together. I ended up starting building this set, then set it down for a few months before finally completing it since it became such a hassle to try and find parts and decipher instructions that weren't necessarily too clear. I had to go over the wing instructions twice.So, long story short....the end result is worth it, but whether or not you want to go through a tedious build versus a relaxing one really makes or breaks the set.

If you are a fan of dragons (not to mention GoT), then you know it is extremely difficult to find a dragon that is sizable and posable. This set not only accomplishes that, but really makes the beast feel organic with the large cloth wings and the shaping of the brick build. Mega smoothes out virtually every area so that the studs not an eyesore, and the ones that remain can very much represent scales. The articulation can provide some awesome organic poses, but just don't be too disappointed if the wings can't hold a pose forever as the cloth is quite thick and can weight the wings down if you do not prop up the "fingers" in a way that they'll stay. The designers make the build in such a way that the "fingers" are criss crossed at the "palm" so they support one another. The articulated toes look amazing in almost any pose and the red fins on the neck and tail add a lot of organic texture. I don't know of any dragon on the market that can give you this much detail, possibility, and sheer SIZE that this one provides. Don't hesitate. Buy this set!

This is a very good build. Best dragon building I have found.
