Empire Dragon is about typical value for its size
Average
#64 of 99 Ninjago sets with 200–499 pieces
Empire Dragon is a little under the mid-size Ninjago norm on its two main measures, about 8% less plastic per dollar and 73 pieces per $10 against 79. Three minifigures and a 3.8 rating are exactly typical and the $29.99 price is fair, which leaves it below average.
