71796

LEGO Ninjago 71796, Elemental Dragon vs. The Empress Mech, stages a clash between an elemental dragon and the Empress’s mech. Released in 2023 under the Ninjago theme, the set contains 1039 pieces and 6 minifigures connected with Dragons Rising.

This set belongs to the Ninjago theme and is tied to the Dragons Rising setting. Its subject is a direct confrontation between an elemental creature and an imperial machine. That pairing gives 71796 a clear battle focus, with the dragon and the mech acting as the main opposing builds.

The build uses 1039 pieces and is supported by 6 named minifigures. The lineup consists of Lord Ras with pearl gold shoulder pads, Empress Beatrix, an Imperium Guard, Jay in Dragons Rising Robes, Sora and Zane in Dragons Rising form. Together, they represent both the ninja side and the Imperium side of the conflict.

As a Ninjago set, 71796 is suited to story play, display and character based collecting. It sits among theme entries that combine a substantial creature build with a mechanical opponent, rather than focusing only on a vehicle or on minifigures. The included cast also helps place it firmly within Dragons Rising.
