Review: 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!

Review: 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.

Summary: One very massive set.

Review: I bought the Mega Bloks Dragon Mountain set for myself a few months ago and had yet to put it together. The only things that I did put together were the dragons. The instructions for putting it together are well done. They tell you exactly what you need for each step. An improvement would be some views from above to make the building process a little easier. The completed structure is actually two separate structures joined by the bridge for the mine car. As impressive as this set is, it holds together quite well. The key is to build, as with any other Mega Bloks set, on a good hard and level surface. I've moved it a couple times and one of the smaller base sections will fall off, but that's no big deal since there's nothing underneath to hold it in place. It'll take two trips to move it so don't move it all at once. Just make sure you carry the larger structure by holding onto the floor of the second level and take your time while moving it. One other nice improvement would be the addition of a second cannon. I love the idea of mounting the cannon onto the dragon, but it would be nice to have either second cannon mounted on the smaller structure as it shows in the instructions or even better yet, a harpoon lancher. Other than that, I feel that the Dragon Mountain is a great addition to the Mega Bloks Dragons series.

Review: 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!

Review: I have heard so much about this ship. I can't wait till i get it in july 2005 for my birthday. I hope this ship is really over 30 in. long. This ship should lead all of your dragon toys. A must have. I highly recommend it.
