Intermediate

≈ 38 minSuggested range22 min – 1 h 1 minBased on one person building the set for the first time, following the original instructions and using numbered bags where supplied.

This range is neither a statistical interval nor a limit: your build may take less or more time.
How we estimate times · sources and method
Editorial assessment: A golden dragon with ninja characters. The white and gold head has long horns. A first build following the instructions, including normal piece finding; an adult may help when needed. Breaks, subsequent play and any alternative models are excluded. For older sets, unnumbered bags or previously mixed pieces may prolong sorting. No verified timed build: indicative values with substantial variation.
Sources do not always specify the builder’s experience. The three experience bands are our editorial assessment, based on the complexity of the set and individual accounts where available.
