LEGO NINJAGO Dragons Rising Young Dragon Riyu 71810 Building Set

Bring the world of LEGO NINJAGO Dragons Rising to life with the LEGO NINJAGO Young Dragon Riyu 71810 Building Set — a compact dragon playset combining a highly poseable buildable dragon, three NINJAGO minifigures and plenty of accessories for imaginative ninja adventures.

With 132 pieces, this set is designed for builders aged 6 and up and recreates aerial adventures inspired by Season 2 of NINJAGO Dragons Rising. At the centre of the set is Young Riyu, featuring movable wings, legs and tail, plus a saddle that allows the included minifigures to ride on the dragon's back.

It is a particularly appealing LEGO NINJAGO set for fans who want a character-focused build with plenty of play value without requiring a large collection of pieces.

🐉 Buildable Young Dragon Riyu

The star of the set is the Young Dragon Riyu, recreated in LEGO form with a distinctive sand-blue and orange colour scheme.

Riyu's design captures the character's youthful appearance while giving the finished model a substantial enough size for active play.

The dragon features:

• Posable wings
• Posable legs
• Posable tail
• Saddle on its back
• Space for a NINJAGO minifigure rider

These movable features allow Riyu to be positioned in different flying, riding and battle poses, making the finished dragon much more interactive than a static display model.

The completed dragon measures over 6 cm high, 19 cm long and 18 cm wide, giving it a noticeable presence while remaining compact enough for easy storage and display.

⚔️ Ride Riyu Into Battle

One of the strongest features of this set is the saddle on Riyu's back.

The included NINJAGO minifigures can be placed onto the dragon, allowing children to recreate aerial adventures and create their own stories.

The ability to combine the minifigures with the dragon creates a simple but effective play pattern:

Build Riyu → Choose a rider → Take to the skies → Battle the enemy → Create a new adventure.

The dragon's movable wings, legs and tail further enhance the play experience by allowing children to reposition Riyu between different scenes.

🥷 Three NINJAGO Minifigures

The set includes three minifigures, providing characters for immediate role-play straight from the box:

Arin

Arin is included with a climbing hook and katana sword accessory, giving him the equipment needed for ninja adventures and combat.

He can also ride Young Riyu using the dragon's saddle.

Sora

The set includes Sora with a katana sword accessory.

Sora provides another ninja hero for the playset and can join Arin in aerial adventures aboard Riyu.

The inclusion of Sora is particularly appealing to collectors of the Dragons Rising characters, giving this compact set additional character value.

Wolf Mask Warrior

The opposing Wolf Mask Warrior comes equipped with a sword accessory, providing a villain character for battles against Arin and Sora.

Together, the three minifigures create a complete hero-versus-villain setup without requiring additional sets.

🗡️ Accessories for Action Play

The included accessories complement both the characters and the overall adventure theme.

The set contains:

• Arin's climbing hook
• Arin's katana sword
• Sora's katana sword
• Wolf Mask Warrior's sword

These accessories give the minifigures individual equipment and make it easy to create different battle scenarios.

Children can use the characters independently or combine them with Riyu to create larger aerial and ground-based adventures.

🧱 132-Piece Building Experience

With 132 pieces, LEGO 71810 provides a manageable construction project aimed at children aged 6+. LEGO's official building instructions identify the set as a 2024 NINJAGO release with 132 pieces and a 6+ age recommendation.

The relatively compact piece count makes it accessible for younger LEGO builders while still producing a substantial finished dragon and three minifigures.

The build itself is only the beginning.

Once Riyu is assembled, the model becomes a reusable playset that can be repositioned, ridden and incorporated into imaginative NINJAGO adventures.

🌟 A Character-Focused NINJAGO Set

Rather than concentrating on a large building or complex vehicle, 71810 focuses on one of the memorable creatures from Dragons Rising.

That gives the set a different appeal from NINJAGO mech and vehicle sets.

The dragon is the centrepiece, while Arin, Sora and the Wolf Mask Warrior provide the characters needed to create a complete story around it.

This makes the set particularly suitable for children who are drawn to the dragons and characters of NINJAGO, as well as collectors looking to add Riyu to their LEGO NINJAGO display.

🎬 Inspired by NINJAGO Dragons Rising Season 2

LEGO 71810 is based around Season 2 of NINJAGO Dragons Rising, allowing fans to recreate aerial adventures featuring Riyu and the included ninja characters.

Riyu was introduced during Dragons Rising and became an important young dragon character within the series. The LEGO model captures the character's distinctive appearance in a buildable format.

For fans of the show, this provides a physical way to recreate scenes from the series while also leaving plenty of room for original storytelling.

🎮 LEGO Builder App

The set is compatible with the LEGO Builder app, giving builders access to digital building instructions and interactive tools.

The app allows builders to:

• Zoom into the model
• Rotate the model in 3D
• Follow digital instructions
• Track building progress
• Save their progress

This provides an additional way to make the construction process easier and more engaging for younger builders.

📏 Compact but Impressive Dragon Display

Despite its relatively small piece count, Young Riyu creates a surprisingly substantial finished model.

The completed dragon measures approximately:

6+ cm high × 19 cm long × 18 cm wide

That footprint gives the dragon enough presence to work as both a play model and a display piece.

Its wide wings and distinctive colour scheme make it particularly eye-catching when displayed alongside other LEGO NINJAGO sets.

🎁 Excellent Gift for LEGO NINJAGO Fans

The combination of a buildable dragon, three minifigures and character accessories makes LEGO 71810 a strong gift choice for children who enjoy NINJAGO and fantasy adventures.

It is particularly suited to:

• LEGO NINJAGO fans
• Dragons Rising viewers
• Dragon enthusiasts
• Young LEGO builders
• Ninja-themed play
• Collectors of NINJAGO minifigures
• Fans of Arin and Sora
• Children who enjoy imaginative role-play

The 6+ recommendation also makes it accessible to younger builders while retaining enough character and play features to encourage continued use after the initial construction.
