Great design, major flaw requires improvement for it to work.
I've been making little toy robots and bringing them to work to add a little cheer in these uncertain and stressful times. I've tried other 4M robots and liked them quite a bit, and they've been a huge success so far, so I was excited to see this dragon.It's a cute design with neat movement, but I agree with other reviewers that there is a major flaw to it with one of the gears popping loose and disconnecting. I used tape to fix it and the robot works just fine now, but be warned that if you get this kit, you'll likely have to do that. It's a small and easy fix, but one that should've been thought out a bit better in the design.Overall, it's a great little robot, but the design needs a bit more work to make it functional.EDIT 4/18/21:I'm updating my review after purchasing a second kit. I must have gotten lucky with the first one, because there was absolutely NOTHING I could do that would make the second one work. Nothing. No amount of fiddling around with the gears, taping them, or repositioning them would get them to connect. Absolute pure garbage, and a complete waste of money and time.I'm really disappointed with 4M for releasing these kits without having fixed the problem. Most of their kits have worked just fine for me, but this one shouldn't be for sale.

So disappointing! After all that work, the robot doesn’t move!
I’ve bought a bunch of these robots from this company and this one is awful! My daughter and I have put together several of them, and this one just doesn’t come together properly. I bought it twice, thinking that we put it together wrong the first time, and it still never worked. Something to do with the small and large gear in the motor, they just never clicked. So buy all the other robots from this company, but not this red dragon. After all that work…..soooooo disappointing..

Motor Too Weak
This is such a cute set and super fun to assemble with my 7 y/o and 6 y/o. However the motor is too weak for the gears and doesn’t function correctly. The motor works on its own and with one gear connected, but after adding the second gear, it stops working. What a shame because we had so much fun putting this together.

Doesn’t work! GARBAGE!
GARBAGE!! Doesn’t work! We bought 1 of these as a gift for our son, my husband built it with him, it didn’t work. We called, they sent another and AGAIN doesn’t work! Don’t waste your money on this!!!

Have built about 15 kits from 4M successfully, but ...
Have built about 15 kits from 4M successfully, but couldn't get this one to work. The gears in the gearbox don't reliably make contact.

Came assembled and broken
My son was really disappointed ☹️

Aggravation for the Whole Family
Design / material problems make this build-your-own Dragon Robot an exercise in frustration. It is very difficult to get the internal gear pieces to make proper contact. After 3 rebuilds & finally using tape to hold the gear together, the robot did eventually work. This is the second & last time we will try 4M toy products (the other being the hanging solar system, which has parts that absolutely did not fit together & was a total bust).
