"With a BrickScore of 76.3 and perfect owner buy rates, Fire Dragon's Lava Cave is a well-earned Recommended set: Zonya is the most impressive dragon in the 2016 Elves wave, the $0.091 price per piece is hard to argue with, and the story-driven play features kept young builders and their parents equally engaged."
Fire Dragon's Lava Cave earns a clear Recommended verdict from reviewers, anchored by Zonya the Fire Dragon's impressive size and articulation within the 2016 Elves wave. Brickset praised the value at $39.99 for 441 pieces, the story-integrated play features including the shadow fountain and sliding lava fall, and the sparse use of stickers. JANG offered a mixed take, calling the lava cave structure shallow and the tail tips fiddly, but still appreciated the dragon's posability and the set's unusual parts. Owner ratings are uniformly enthusiastic at 4.6 across all three retailers with 100% of LEGO buyers saying they would recommend it.

"Who doesn't love dragons? This wave of Elves sets gives us three. Zonya the Fire Dragon is the largest of the three - is bigger better, or is she just blowing smoke?"
Brickset Reviews"So, here is the lava cave that gives the set its very name. It's pretty nicely shaped, but it's actually relatively shallow."
