The LEGO NINJAGO Dragons Rising Season 2 sets form an unusually broad wave: pocket-sized battle mechs sit beside vehicles, dragons, arenas, a large dojo and a full temple city. AustrianBrickFan brings 19 of those boxed releases together in a single speed-build compilation, creating a useful view of how the whole collection changes in scale and building style.

Rather than isolating one model, the compilation lets builders compare recurring ideas across the wave. Ball-jointed limbs, creature shaping, angular armor, rocky terrain and architectural play spaces all appear in different forms. The small 30675 Tournament Training Ground polybag is the one Season 2 release not included, so the video focuses on the 19 main numbered sets from 71804 through 71822.

The complete LEGO NINJAGO Dragons Rising Season 2 build list

The running order begins with the compact mech assortment, moves through dragons and vehicles, and then spends longer stretches on the wave’s substantial locations and display models. The 19 builds are:

• 71804 Arin’s Battle Mech
• 71805 Jay’s Mech Battle Pack
• 71806 Cole’s Elemental Earth Mech
• 71807 Sora’s Elemental Tech Mech
• 71808 Kai’s Elemental Fire Mech
• 71809 Egalt the Master Dragon
• 71810 Young Dragon Riyu
• 71811 Arin’s Ninja Off-Road Buggy Car
• 71812 Kai’s Ninja Climber Mech
• 71813 Wolf Mask Shadow Dojo
• 71814 Tournament Temple City
• 71815 Kai’s Source Dragon Battle
• 71816 Zane’s Ice Motorcycle
• 71817 Lloyd’s Elemental Power Mech
• 71818 Tournament Battle Arena
• 71819 Dragon Stone Shrine
• 71820 Ninja Team Combo Vehicle
• 71821 Cole’s Titan Dragon Mech
• 71822 Source Dragon of Motion

Seen back to back, those names reveal the wave’s design rhythm. Early models provide quick studies in compact articulation and character-specific color blocking. The middle of the compilation shifts toward environments and storytelling spaces, while the closing group returns to vehicles, a towering mech and the largest dragon in this particular collection.

Where the speed build changes gear

The jump from the small mechs to 71813 Wolf Mask Shadow Dojo is especially clear. The 1,190-piece dojo is a two-level location with a battle courtyard, a branch-activated trap, a concealed sword, zip wires and a falling-stone feature. Its construction is therefore less about repeating a limb structure and more about layering rooms, routes and play mechanisms into one coherent silhouette.

71814 Tournament Temple City is the compilation’s major architectural centerpiece. At 3,489 pieces, it combines a four-tier pagoda with a rock face, bridge and water mill. Turning the mill operates battle platforms and a blacksmith’s hammer, while a lantern triggers falling rocks. A small airship, a posable dragon and 13 minifigures widen the model beyond a static façade. For display builders, the important lesson is how vertical landscape, architecture and moving details can share the same footprint without flattening the scene.

The final stretch offers a different kind of scale. 71821 Cole’s Titan Dragon Mech uses a large character model to explore pose and proportion, while 71822 Source Dragon of Motion builds its presence through an articulated head, neck, jaw, legs, tail and broad wings. The dragon contains 1,716 pieces and comes with six minifigures, making it a substantial creature build rather than a small accessory to a vehicle or location.

What custom builders can learn from the full wave

Watching a complete wave in sequence is valuable because recurring systems become easier to spot. The five elemental and battle mechs invite comparison of shared joint logic against different armor shapes. A custom builder can study how a limited mechanical framework supports distinct identities through shoulder profiles, weapon placement, cockpit treatment and color.

The creature sets provide another progression. Young Dragon Riyu presents a compact dragon form, Egalt stretches that language into a larger master dragon, and the Source Dragon of Motion pushes it toward a display-scale wingspan. Comparing them suggests a practical MOC exercise: preserve the same creature identity while changing the balance between head size, torso length, limbs and wings for three different scales.

The locations also show two approaches to environmental storytelling. Wolf Mask Shadow Dojo concentrates traps and movement inside a focused battle setting. Tournament Temple City spreads its narrative across elevation changes, water, rockwork and separate travel models. Dragon Stone Shrine sits between those extremes as a scenic build. Together, they demonstrate that play features work best when they grow from the setting instead of feeling attached after the main shape is finished.

For collectors, the compilation also makes pacing visible. Small sets can introduce a faction, color palette or character quickly; mid-sized vehicles and creatures deepen the action language; large locations finally give the characters somewhere to belong. That structure is useful when planning a custom display: one centerpiece becomes stronger when smaller models echo its colors, terrain and story rather than competing for equal attention.

Final Thoughts

This 19-set speed build works as more than a long construction montage. It is a compact visual index of the LEGO NINJAGO Dragons Rising Season 2 range, showing how the theme moves between mechs, dragons, vehicles and architecture without losing its energetic design language. Builders looking for MOC inspiration can treat it as a comparison library: pick one recurring system, trace how it changes across several sets, and then adapt the strongest ideas into an original model.
