In the Bernard household dragons rule. So when Mega announced that they were continuing the Dragons line, this time with a space theme, we were excited.
This new line mixes the classic buildable dragons with new spaceships and warriors. It's a match made in heaven. Each vehicle has a handle, so the kids can fly it around, and that handle also doubles as landing gear. It's a neat idea, for sure.
Read on for the press release, and check out the images (and the awesome diorama they had on display).
On a planet isolated in time and space, the soldiers of the Alliance are under attack from the Predavors, an alien race of warlike Dragons. They have come for Power Cores, the energy source of the Predavor's life and the Alliance's machines and weapons.
This is the Dragons Universe! Enter an exciting, dynamic, and buildable universe with a rich story and breathtaking designs. The classic Warrior versus Dragon style of play has grown up and moved ahead into a world filled with new technology and weapons. With each side having everything to fight for, it's up to you to decide who will reign victorious. What will you choose?
