"The Auspicious Dragon earns a BrickScore of 83.8 and a 4.87-star owner average from 695 buyers, making it one of the most celebrated Seasonal releases in recent years, praised for its cultural depth, printed scales, and surprisingly dynamic build experience."
The Auspicious Dragon (80112) drew overwhelming praise from both expert sources and the broader owner community, earning a Highly Recommended verdict at BrickScore 83.8. Reviewers and owners alike celebrated the vibrant color choices, clever articulation hidden beneath the printed scale elements, and the cultural resonance of the design, particularly its 2024 Year of the Dragon release timing. Owner ratings are exceptionally strong: 695 ratings averaging 4.87 out of 5, with 92% recommending it and a value-for-money score of 4.47. The only recurring criticism was occasional instruction clarity issues in the more complex later build stages.

"I was blown away by how striking it is as a display model. It exudes tremendous display presence and boasts a really eye-catching colour palette, which features tan, with hints of yellow, orange, red and pops of teal throughout, helping its visual fidelity but also giving off a fantastical fantasy vibe"
Owners overwhelmingly praise the dragon's design, detail, and display appeal, especially for Lunar New Year celebration, but a vocal minority reports frustrating instruction clarity and structural stability issues during build.
