The Guardian Dragon gives a little less than similar sets
Below average
#34 of 49 Ninjago sets with 1,000+ pieces
The Guardian Dragon is well loved, 4.6 of 5, and gives slightly more pieces per $10 than most big Ninjago sets (105 against 98). But one minifigure for $149.99, about 18% less plastic per dollar than the norm and a price about 19% above similar contents put it below average. Buy it for the display, not the value.
