"Cole's Dragon scores a strong Highly Recommended at BrickScore 81.4: both expert reviewers agreed it delivers remarkable play and display value at $9.99, with ball-joint articulation and two quality minifigures that would shame sets twice the price, and 92% of LEGO.com owners say they would recommend it."
Cole's Dragon (70599) earned a Highly Recommended verdict with a BrickScore of 81.4, drawing on Brickset's enthusiastic 88 and JANG's measured 75, with the key agreement being that the set punches well above its $9.99 price point. Expert reviewers praised the surprising level of detail, extensive ball-joint articulation throughout, and strong minifigure selection for the budget tier, while both flagged the head design and sticker use as weaknesses. Owner data is largely supportive at 4.22 stars across 77 ratings, with LEGO.com signals showing 4.67 for value and 92% would recommend.
Where they split: A minority of LEGO.com reviewers were genuinely disappointed, with one giving just 1 out of 5 stars, citing the unfairness of Cole receiving a tiny set while Jay got a much larger Elemental Dragon and Cole not being in ghost form. The two expert reviewers did not share this severity of criticism, rating it 88 and 75 respectively, and the 92% would-recommend LEGO signal shows this is a minority view.

Owners appreciate the affordable price point and appealing minifigures, but are divided on the dragon's size relative to expectations and other Ninjago dragons in the line.
