A lot of commenters have noted that the skinny, oversimplified, stingy wing style matches that of the Legacy Golden Dragon and a number of past builds and that's a 100% valid point and can definitely be seen as a positive in that sense. I can't help but think, though, that if my position in the video was that the weak wings were actually great because they matched previous styles, most comments would have been about how I'm clearly blind, biased, and paid by LEGO to say that, because fans deserve good, show-realistic, high-quality wings on dragon builds 😂 C'mon you know I'm right...

I agree about the Skull Sorcerers Dragon. It is a better detailed build and has the wings inserts as well.
Definitely agree about the fans going for a higher price. Such an important and iconic scene, so getting it right would definitely be worth a few extra bucks for many older fans, but overall it’s well done!!!
Refreshing to see a set without the pointless throwaway fillers.

True
I think the wing design is a throwback to the original Golden Dragon that had the same kind of wings, even the new one has similar wings! Would I have liked other wings? Sure! But can I live with this? Yes!
I can't believe it took Lego this long to produce the true form of the Overlord.
The lack of cloth on the wings is a reference to how they made wings back when the overlord dragon really should have been a set
THE MUSIC IS BACKK!! YASSSS! I NO LONGER NEED TO WATCH OLD VIDEOS TO HEAR THIS!!! THANK YOU JANG!!
I really love the emulation of the elbows on the wings 😍
I think I'll save my money for season 14 dragon.
I'm personally not interested in ninjago, but it's really cool to see why people might like these sets. It's always a joy to watch these reviews of yours!

I display this on top of my Ninjago City, with the tail through the hole on the top part so it stays and it’s absolutely GLORIOUS
FINALLY. Yeah, cloth wings would’ve been nice. I’m glad we finally got this set though.
Change the wings, tail-tip, and color of the spikes and you've got a Nazgul Fellbeast for your LOTR playing! YES!
the articulation seems perfet for someone to make "i learnt stopmotion animation so i can remake that one video in lego"
This made me SO HAPPY! Finally being able to get a piece of my childhood, it’s great!
This was one of my first sets of the year. I really like it despite some of the issues and inaccuracies it has (plus I don't mine the inaccuracies)
I'm a writer, and I have to do my own editing, formatting, publishing, art, promotion, etc. Sometimes I miss one single word or have a comma out of place, and I have to deal with similar comments from my readers, who all think they know best, and need to point out publicly the single mistake I made in a 9 page article. It's so very annoying. I completely understand what you're saying.
6:33 Overlord's head print at the back is supposed to be when he was in gas form in season 2.
Everyone's talking about how the wings don't have fabric, don't y'all remember what the Original Ninjago Dragons had? It's right in line with them. It even fits with the Original Golden Dragon. Perfectly fine in my book.

They looked good. i Hate this Wing design, Both posability and looks of them are pretty weird, now the OG dragons had a Nice Wing posability, but they looked way better. This looks weird with those big gaps..
That is an amazing value set I feel. There is a lot of volume in the dragon design making it feel strong and imposing. Great job for them.
I've been waiting for this set for so many years
I don't even mind that they did a special head it looks completely perfect for what was in the show
A lego black dragon SICK
Now i have this one and all the original stuff from the beginning and now my collection is getting upgrades because of these new sets
I love this! I know many people prefer brick-built heads but these molds work really well for me!
So many ideas for just the head piece. Lov the vids homie!!!
Oh nice a original lego Ninjago legacy set with just what we need without useless extra side build
Lots of cool poses for this one! Awesome!
I just had a very scary thought (to me at least) that you will stop somewhere in my lifetime and how sad I'll be. I honestly don't even care about Ninjago, but I still love to watch the reviews. Thank you.
Finally, we've all been waiting for years!
Love that head and jaw molding. Those teeth really add that aggressive look. Hope to see more of those molds in various colors.
@GunnarTobus

Well, that bottom jaw does come in the jungle dragon.
Try putting some custom fabric on the wings so then you can actually extend them with the "finger" you can articulate
I would've loved for a 60 or 80 dollar set that not only puts more parts into the wings but also adds at least a suggestion of the tower the final battle happened on. Nothing insane, just enough to be able to perch it on

This is awesome I was always confused why they never made this originally I'm glad they finally got around to it
With some modifying, especially the wings, this can be a really cool dragon
That head mold is beautiful. I'll have to pick this set up to go with my golden dragon, too bad it has similar figs
Cool set! I like the price ! For the wings, I actually like that they made them as they are, because alot of people will be picking this up as a combo set with the golden ninja's dragon from last year, and that set had skeletal looking wings too, so helps for continuity
I have been waiting for this set since the original episode came out
I got this today and built it, I love it so much I was so exited The wings don't really matter to me I think they're cool
looks awesome i hope i will be able to find it in stores
I think it would be nice to have the webbing, I’d pay an extra 5 for it but for an extra 10 more figures would be nice
This is what the indoraptor would look like if it was a dragon
Dang your voice is nostalgic because I watched your videos when I was 5
I really wish they came up with a better redesign for Golden Lloyd, this legacy version looks a bit flat compared to the original (and compared to the other legacy figures). But overall this is a great set!
I made a gold dragon moc, so I'm having a dragon battle
When I was 11 watching the final episode of Ninjago season 2, I thought it would be so cool if they made an overlord dragon. I have waited 9 years for this set. Thank you Jang for reviewing it :^)

Same! Though I was much younger than 11, I’ve wanted this set for years. And It’s every bit as good as I wanted it to be!
This set keeps growing on me
The wings are so skeletal so it can somewhat match the original golden dragon
This set is really so cool! I might get it sometime and I have a question, when is Legacy Boulder Blaster review come?? I already got it but watching your reviews are so awesome 😄
Looking at the size of the dragon and looking at my legacy gold dragon they look like they size up perfectly
I dont know if you know what i mean but i love the legacy line, i love seeing the things i grew up with made better, but not enough to actually buy them...
I really love this set
Am I the only one who's actually in love/having fun with this dragon build!!
As someone who has been around since 2011 this set is a mixed bag. I like it for what it is, it’s objectively a good set. But it’s got a lot of accuracy issues, the dark blue should’ve been the secondary color imo as the black would’ve fit more. The actual posture should’ve been more upright, similar to Lloyds Nrg dragon, this one leans all the way forward. I wish they would’ve made it $40 and made it more like that nrg dragon set. Not only for improved wings like you mentioned but for an overall more accurate and better detailed model.
Well that's sad for the wings.
I’ve bought 7 sets so far as an investment, and I do expect it to do well in the aftermarket based off of Lloyd’s Golden dragon from season 2. And it’s been a set many people have been wanting for a while.
I wish there were LEGO dinosaurs like this!
Hey jang I love your videos!
Oh you have updated the patreon supporters list style 😉
The wings are going for the original golden dragon look Jang
Hi i just must ask how good do the helmet on the overloard sit? Becuse i baught this for my kid and it whas super loos.
Those new dragon head-pieces will be a good Fellbeast head if we ever get any more The Lord of the Rings sets.
I’m just happy we’re getting this, I have the original golden dragon and I’ve been hoping to get the overlord dragon to recreate the fight, and for a good dragon for $30 I’m happy about it
Is the dragon only in lego shop or can u also get it in stores like target or so
Isn't the re-introduction of black 2 module long technic axles new for 2021?
Very nice!

This is amazing
The wing sedign makes it feel like a Ninjago set from 2013, when he appeared in the show. Vinyl and cloth wings were completely unheard of for Ninjago back then, so it doesn't bug me too much because im already used to it. However if they had gone the extra mile it'd be very deluxe.
Cause of covid no one is going outside really so i dont know but im curious is this available at like a target or wallmart? And also is this the most purple in a single set?
Will you do a comparison between this set and the Legacy Golden Dragon set and are you going to modify it
I'm planning to get this set
That dragon looks really great
Wow what a set
great video Jang, i have the exact same response as you :)
If this came out like 6 years ago when my brother and I were crazy into Ninjago and really hoping they made the overlord dragon a set... we’d be freaking out although still nice to see it’s finally an official set, we had to build our own and we colored a earth dragon head with black and purple sharpie
I think thw bottom and top head pieces are thw same mold. Just with different prints
I just got this set but for some reason for the head there are eyes on the top and bottom part of the head so it got four eyes lol
Do you plan on reviewing the Ninjago City Gardens set? It looks insane
It does look a lot bigger than expected... I'd definitely pay some extra for cloth wings as well.
Good Afternoon
Just noticed that the chest design somewhat resembles the overlords torso. Basically if the golden master overlord turned into a different dragon.
Why does the overlord look like he's rewatching a movie he really likes and gets to his favourite scene lol
I just got this set today
Yep, awesome
"Long have I waited..."
What was the original set called?
It’s.......beautiful.......I want it.
