Dragon Stone Shrine looks weirdly gorgeous for a Ninjago set. Not that Ninjago has bad sets, they just seem to be designed for play mostly. The details in the rocks look like the kind of techniques I only see in advanced MOCs, not official stuff.
Actually, a lot of these sets seem like MOCs for better or worse. The Earth orbit set has that function-over-form aesthetic that Lego leans away from. And something about the Stitch set feels like a Lego Ideas submission before the inhouse redesign. Can’t put my finger on why.
