    You forgot to include pictures of the Precious Crystal Mine or The Secret Market Place! I know they were there; they’re included in other sites’ coverage.

    The dragons in general look amazing, and very diverse. LEGO has truly come a long way in terms of brick-built dragon and creature designs. Of course, designs like these would not be possible without the assortment of curve pieces and joint pieces LEGO has developed recently, including some that are new to these sets! The Dragon Queen is even bigger and more majestic than I could have anticipated.

    Ragana’s Magic Shadow Castle looks AMAZING! So dark and spooky, yet still consistent with the Elves aesthetic. The tower in the Dragon Queen set also complements it nicely. I’m glad the castle includes a bed and other features to make it “livable”. These are the sorts of things that girl-oriented themes routinely excel at and boy-oriented themes routinely fail at (though they’re getting better about it — Jestro’s castle in Nexo Knights also has a bed, bathroom, and kitchen and I couldn’t be happier).

    I love the characters’ new costumes. I am disappointed, though, that Farran doesn’t get a hood or a cloak. Last year he didn’t get a cloak either, but then he had an excuse because he wasn’t in any of the summer sets. This year he’s in the Precious Crystal Mine set, so I don’t see why he doesn’t get a hood and cloak. What, are boys not allowed to dress up?

    The only set I think I might skip this year is the Dragon School of Elvendale, since all its most special figures and accessories are in other sets. But I might end up getting it just for the heck of it, because it’s not expensive and it’s still a really cool set, even without any exclusive characters.

    I can’t wait for the TV special for this year’s story! The teasers I’ve seen make it look amazing, and the story is great (I’ve already read it in the chapter book “The Dragon Queen”, but I have no doubt it’ll be just as good to see it animated)!

    Thanks so much for this coverage!
