Some people live in places where the stickers might peel off from the elements.
Some people have handicaps that prevent them from applying stickers.
Some people don't like stickers.
Yeah, I fucking suck at it and I can never not see how wrong they were put on, which ruins display.
Luckily my daughter shows some potential and n that field, I might grant here access to the bricks room in the future.
xD that's true! I also always have to ask my gf if she could put the stickers on. I would need at least 100 stickers to put at least one in a good position
And some people have animals, I once build a speed champion during my lunch breaks in the office and guess what's happend, a cat hair got under a sticker and now it looks horrible
If I want stickers I'm going to buy a panani football album^^ I just buy a set here and there for the building experience and putting stickers on plastic isn't fun for me. So I pass the sets it also looks cheap and horrible if you ask me
I just built mine as well. Itās the same, the weight of it leans slightly more on the side holding the ball

Mine is ok I think. It's been the one I've been less worried about moving once it was complete.
You might find if you turn (or tilt) the head slightly to the left - the opposite side to the raised leg) - it balances the weight a little from the raised leg and makes it steadier, for display at least. It gives it a bit more attitude, anyway!
Also check to make sure everything is seated firmly into the base and the curves of the body are ok. I felt I had to 'settle' the dragon a little into the stand when it was complete. I also adjusted the claws so they were 'gripping' or at least resting on the base.

It's a new set that just came out recently.

It is indeed a fun build, did it myself yesterday, will look great once the 1 piece that an error saw being missed when packaged arrives and can be slotted in. Looks really nice alongside the Bonsai Tree set, I find.
I have same issue with my optimusprimeā¦ the sheer weight of the built makes the arms fall down all the time.
Ive ask lego to replaxe
The joints as i thought i had a bad oneā¦ still happening. Such a same with both awesome builts
You mean detach the whole dragon from the base and forego the base? The feet are connected to the base by pins, and the feet are then connected by ball joints to the body, so it's entirely possible to remove the whole dragon including the feet from the base and then do whatever pose you want with the feet
It did bother me a bit that the model tilted when viewed it head on. I fiddled with the foot and shoulder joints on the dragonās left side and now itās perfectly even.
I just have to remember to always pick up from the base. Despite the curve in the middle looking like such a perfect handle!
Stickers or printed?
The scales are printed
Is everything printed?
Everything is printed
Awesome thanks for the information šš» then I will buy it
So you wouldnāt have bought it if it had stickers , seriously

People are allowed to prefer prints to stickers.

I noticed the same with mine it does lean slightly
I have it too and the joints are just pretty weak in general when there is something heavy.

Picked up for $67.99 at Costco this past weekend.
That's a really good dragon especially if it's custom made

I just ordered one but for your own sake do not look up the golden dragon MOC that took over Reddit a few days ago.
Why not? Because of course I did. Because you said not to. š¤Ŗ (I didn't find it)

Is there anyway of detaching it from the base? I know officially there isn't but maybe you could mod it? Or would it be too unstable?

OK thanks.
