"Dragon Stone Shrine earns a BrickScore of 78.5 by delivering one of the most visually striking Ninjago builds in years, a set that converts non-fans with its stone dragon display appeal while still offering enough play features for younger builders, though the $119.99 price demands genuine enthusiasm given its compact footprint."
The Ninjago Dragon Stone Shrine (71819) earns a BrickScore of 78.5 and a Recommended rating, supported by 511 owner ratings averaging 4.83 out of 5. The set draws unusually broad praise across Ninjago fans and non-fans alike, with the circular stone dragon form, seamless integration of organic tree elements with stone masonry, and strong display presence cited repeatedly. The clearest tension in the data is on value: LEGO.com value-for-money signals average 3.91 out of 5 and only 67 percent of LEGO.com reviewers say they would recommend it, a notably lower figure than the overall owner average, suggesting the $119.99 price tag triggers more hesitation than the overall scores imply.
Where they split: The key split is between overall satisfaction (consistently high) and value-for-money (noticeably lower). Owners who paid full retail are more likely to call the price steep; those who found it discounted rate it higher. The 67 percent would-recommend rate on LEGO.com versus the 4.83 average rating suggests some owners love what they built but would hesitate to advise others to pay full price.

"Halfway between a play set and a display set, the Dragon Stone Shrine may be compact, but it is packed with details, and has one of the best tree designs from the theme, in my opinion."

Owners are nearly unanimous that the Dragon Stone Shrine is one of the most beautiful and displayable Ninjago sets ever released, with a tight, hefty build and standout design that wins over even non-Ninjago fans, though a few find the price slightly hard to justify and minifigure count low.
