Better in real life!
The images that you'll see online of this set make it look kind of small and weird, however the real thing is really quite large and spacious. The sails open up nice and wide, and there's SO much space for minifigures, not just the cabin rooms and the tea set. One of my favourite parts to place figures is at the back of the ship where they can look out and enjoy the view. I do wish they covered up the back of the front hull, but you can really easily fix it with pieces such as BRICK, W/ HALF BOW 2X3, W/ CUT. The minfigures are fine, nothing exclusive or outstanding, but they are all major characters in the show (as far as I'm aware). All in all, a great set, though I did purchase it on sale, so perhaps I'm a little biased.

Great set overall
Though I may have bought this because it's nostalgic for me, the set overall has a lot of merits in its own right. Firstly it's a sizable ship making the original bounty look like a raft. Secondly there is plenty of crew area including beds, weapon storage, maps, tea, a board game and a small garden. You can fit the entire dragon rising ninja crew on the ship without it feeling overcrowded. Now for what might have been better. While I like that the dragon can fit inside the front of the ship, i feel that the space would have been better if it had a full main deck and storage or other things below deck .

Most disappointing build ever
The structural design of this build is very poor. It is so flimsy and hollow in many places making the overall formation weak. The technic elements do not seem to adhere properly to the regular Lego bricks. There are very few strong connection points and a very weak narrow center beam. Anytime you so much as touch it, it just falls apart. The worst section is where the double engines are on the back - the entire red wall and spinning sections just fall right off. After it was finally assembled and fixed numerous times, 2 people tried to carefully move it to our Ninjago display shelf (because in no way could you ever play with this one) and again it collapsed in several places. We reassembled it yet again, while sitting on the shelf. This has zero playability, unlike the Hydro Bounty build which can easily withstand being played with. The only positive part in this build was the elemental dragon and baby Riyu. Overall this is the most disappointing build he's ever done. My son saved up his birthday money to buy this on a recent trip to Legoland NY, he was so excited to walk out of the big shop with this prized build, yet was left fully disappointed upon its completion. I do not recommend this build and the designers need to rethink the structural integrity of future designs on this ship.

If your set seems like it's not very sturdy, the best thing to do is double-check your build. Sometimes there may be a piece just a little off from where it should be. You’ll also want to make sure that all the pieces are pressed tightly together. Feel free to reach out to us at LEGO.build/Service-BV if you need assistance!

It’s the bounty!
I really like this version of the bounty. The removable dragon, the video games below deck, the colors! Great addition to my ever growing collection!

AMAZING SET
This set it beautiful. I mean wow. The designers did an amazing job on this set. The color scheme is great. The structure and detail put into this set is amazing. And it overall is a great set. The mini figure selection was great giving nearly every main character from the new show (Part 1 at least) only missing nya (Zane was only in the show for an episode). I do deal as there could have been one more villain in the set but other than that it’s a phenomenal set.

Destiny's Bounty: Race Against Time
This set looks stunning for display, and the interior is really good for play. I love the fact that an actual dragon can fit into the ship, again, good for play. However there are some flaws. Figures physically can't walk from one side of the ship to the other, limiting play ability. And when you take the dragon out, there's a huge gap in the hull of the ship, maybe the designers could've put a few plates at the bottom of the hull so it didn't look as empty, you could've also stored figures down there. And the minifigure selection is REALLY poor. I believe the designers should've included all 6 original ninja, a new Master Wu figure compared to the overused Core minifig, and 2 Imperium Guard minifigs. Overall, I recommend this set, even with it's minor flaws.
