Editorial Review

When a battle takes place somewhere with the name "Dragon Mountain", you can be confident that the fighting will be anything but dull and ordinary. Sure enough, in this sprawling 255-piece set from Mega Bloks, the action is likely to be pitched and furious as the forces of fire and ice come together in epic war. Dev and Kyra lead the Draigar and Norvagen (both good guys) forces against the Ice Vorgan hordes as the good dragon Lumendraconis battles the evil Frenkuhl. Both dragons are nicely articulated and features mouths that open with the help of a lever on their backs and chests that light up. The Dragon Mountain set sports a working rail system as well as an icy peak that busts apart when struck to reveal a fiery dragon skull. Of course its all Mega Bloks so the component bricks can be used to create a radically different set or append to existing sets to build configurations limited only by the builders imagination. One note: Kyra looks like Angelina Jolie playing Marilyn Manson. --Charlie Williams

Ok. So I purchased this set at the 39.00 price for my very spolied 5 year old. Yes - it does say i think 8 and up but he loves blocks and building and I knew I would be building it - it was not an issue. I mean we saw this last christmas and it was 70!!!!! This toy had to be fun right?? Well after you put it up then yes it is fun. It took me (an adult) 2 and a half hours to put this together - yes i followed all the directions which mind you - come in a book! Yes a book. It had very detailed pictures but like everyone said - the base and what holds it together doesnt really snap in good or hold it properly. I always wonder how these toy makers 1: make the directions up and 2: if they actually try to put their own toys together.

The dragons were the easiest of the bunch to put together.

All and all this playset is fun. You have the bucket that goes up and down (with people or rocks), you have the rocks come pouring out the head or top piece which lights up as well as one of the dragons (my son loved that), the dragons its just such a fun set. Plus its very detailed as well as the dragons. plenty of extra people that you didnt have to purchase seperately.

Worth the time and effort!

My son received this gift for christmas, immediately put it together by himself (8 yrs old) and has played with it ever since.
My only complaint is that the base does not stay together with the blocks you are supposed to used to lock it. Other than that, it has been fun, especially when the dragon's head at the top blows apart and the "ice balls" come flying out. The train is cool throught the mountain and of course all of the 15 figures. He loves the toy and so do his friends who come over. It has been knocked around, stepped on, pieces thrown (much to my dismay) and has held up very well. We even lost a piece and called megabloks and they replaced. Great customer service!

We are loving this set! Very cool dragons, a fun environment for characters to explore and fight in. Extra fun from several moving features - rasing/lowering cauldron, tramcar on sloped tracks, erupting mountain top, opening dragon mouth, flapping dragon wings, firing cannon.

A little challenging to build, but the instructions are fairly clear. Assembly took an adult about 3 relaxed hours.

A few sections come apart after some play but they are pretty easy to put back together. So far no pieces have broken.

Most important, this is a lot of fun to play with. Over the past two days, our set has been getting non-stop play from a 9 year old boy and 6 year old girl. A great toy for two kids to play with together, and the boy says a single child could also spend hours happily playing by himself.

We wouldn't have paid the full retail price for this, but at $35 (Amazon discounted price), I think this is appropriate value.
