This was an incredible huge and ambitious line. The Dragon's line is one of my most favorites next to the Pyrate's Line. I would pass on the figures but, the special pieces, bricks, and tiles, even the dragons were incredibly detailed. I miss the days Mega did it's own unique IP's and creative lines. Now it is basically MOTU, Poke'mon, Hot Wheels, and Halo.
The figures had their issues playwise but end of the day they look preeeetty good for display which is mostly what you're gonna do with this stuff these days
@@LemonHead-sq5ws At the time yes, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't like the pyrate figures they were incredibly well painted and unique but, as far as articulation they were really lacking compared to now or the cod system figures.
I know that this isn't all of the sets as their are at least close to double the amount out there. However, I am impressed how much you found and the fact there where some I have never seen until now! I loved that this video was made as this theme was everywhere back in the day but its history is so obscure
Thank you, I tried to find them all. I'm human therefore not perfect. It's history being so obscure is the reason why this video took a long time to make. I had to go digging across the web to find as much as a I could. Feel free to tell me the ones I missed, I'm also curious.
So I'm not crazy! I could have *sworn* there was another like the mini set that came in a plastic orc head that came in a plastic knight head that I has as a kid!
I remember getting the Marauder's Cliff set for Christmas when I was a kid and I had a ton of fun with it. I also remember looking through the catalogue and really wanting to get the Man O' War set, the Draigar castle set, the Island of Fire set, and Dragon Mountain set.
Awesome video! It must have taken ages to compile it all. I noticed couple of sets slipped through the cracks, but given how much this line mutated over the years that's not surprising. I'll add a list of the escapees in case anyone's interested: Fire and Ice: - Mongor Strife Dragon (egg) - Kragmyre Wrath Dragon (egg) - Stormount Rage Dragon (egg) (These were all wave 2 releases for the Fire and Ice line, so there isn't much info about them) Metal Ages: - Norvagen Destroyer (ship) - Draigar Fortress (not to be confused with Draigar Castle, a Krystal Wars set) - Dragon Ramparts (older version of Ramparts of Ryousan with some different figures and pieces) Plasma Dragons: - Balefyre Fire Dragon (egg) - Clawshock Electric Dragon (egg) - Fangrene Acid Dragon (egg) - Iceblaze Ice Dragon (egg) - Vipenroar Black Vulture Dragon (egg - wave 2) - Trefalkyr Jungle Predator Dragon (egg - wave 2) - Rawlsong Ocean Camouflage Dragon (egg - wave 2) - Rivenbeak Royal Glider Dragon (egg - wave 2) - Ravine Battle (skull set) - Darkwood Ambush (skull set) - Reyghar Battle Dragon (big dragon) Battlestorm Epic: - Landstrider (vehicle set) - Siege of Raiders Keep (re-release of Raiders Keep set with newer additions) - Sorcerer's Turret (small structure) - Reignyth Battle Plasma Dragon (big dragon) - Serpentorch Horned Dragon (egg) - Ironscales Royal Dragon (egg) - Darkcrown Eclipse Dragon (egg - wave 2) - Cycloneblaze Nova Dragon (egg - wave 2) - Cirrusfire Solstice Dragon (egg - wave 2) [This isn't a comprehensive list, so feel free to add to it if I've missed anything 👍]
like they were more so on a scale to minifigures and are bipedal sometimes i remember one that had like claws that was like wolverine claws on one arm.
@@gendraconis7869 Yeah, the plasma dragons line started with Metal Ages and ran all the way through until the series finished in 2006 with Battlestorm Epic. From memory, I think there were six original plasma dragons, called Sether, Brimer, Tailtorn, Vile, Crymson and Boulder.
@@thedukeoflies4776 think I had Crymson it was red and yellow and looked more dragon like. Also wasn’t there a similar thing like the plasma dragons. i do recall a Raptor and a Werewolf but had no idea what they were called
Thanks to this video I was able to identify which set a friend of mine was given for her birthday many many years ago. It was the Wizards' Strong Box. Question: She is also remembering some sort of game that came with it? Like a computer game but not flash game. I've found that it's from the Spellcasters series. Was there ever such a thing?
Probably, I remember the Pyrates sets sometimes came with a computer disc with games on it. The dragons linn aparently had a DVD movie as well!? (Yes mega bloks was trying hard at the time). Since Dragons came before pyrates line, I wouldn't be suprised if some sets came with DVD Discs.
Man, this video is incredible! Because you show me their's obscure sets that i NEVER knew they existed i my childhood. It's very sad that IP might never come back again due to Retro and Gaming IP that Mattel/Mega brands tries to cash in. Secondly, the state of mega brands seems not looking good when it comes to distribution and lack of library of themes. Also, kids these days doesn't play with toys that much anymore. But seriously, if Mega brands lives longer, but began to have financial issue, i wish older fan ask them to bring back the IP and maybe, just maybe, Mega brand see an opportunity to make money by bringing their successful original IP. I doubt it will happen before the company close is door, but I'm still dreaming.
dios yo tengo un castillo que compre aqui en lima por el año 2000, que calidad de juguete era, unos detalles exquisitos, los orcos eran bravazoss y los dragones ni que decirte. SINCERAMENTE SE LO LLEVABA 1000 VECES POR ENCIMA A LEGO
I found a dragon from the time I was a child and when I researched its origins, I realized that it's probably one of those "mega blocks", but I watched the entire video and didn't find it in the video, just some very similar ones.
Yea, it's been a long time. I wish they would re spark this line again. Such a good line it was. I miss when mega did their IP's instead of using other franchise licensee. Also sad to see COD get cancelled as well.
Mega bloks dragon that's cool an articulated with stud compatibility. I think the only exception is when the dragon is very huge but still I like my dragons being action figures instead. That being said The game of thornes dragons were epic! Despite being brick built, mega did an epic job with it.
whish they could bring those back ... when it came I had almost to no money at all to buy those only manage to get 2 eggs from the metal ages, I was crazy about the fire gate set to bad I never was able to buy it
If Mattel reboot mega bloks dragons series they better bring dragon figure not dragon made of brick like ninjago dragon I just dragon figure only and I hope castle brick cool and awesome detail like old one

Same here. They had some genuinely creative stuff. Now even LEGO is starting to give into licensed properties.
The figures had their issues playwise but end of the day they look preeeetty good for display which is mostly what you're gonna do with this stuff these days
You’re crazy they had some of the best mini figs compared to other building brands that were available at the time
@@LemonHead-sq5ws At the time yes, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't like the pyrate figures they were incredibly well painted and unique but, as far as articulation they were really lacking compared to now or the cod system figures.
Mega Bloks Dragons was so much better than LEGO Castles.
That might be true if the Mega Bloks Dragon figure's hands would not break everytime you tried to make them hold somthing.
@@threebythestreet yeah, LEGO Minifigures have 'em beat there.
@@threebythestreetI found a way around that put the things in from the top of the hand not the sides

Now talk about nostalgia i remember loving these i had the big mountain and a whole bunch of these sets
I remember getting the Marauder's Cliff set for Christmas when I was a kid and I had a ton of fun with it. I also remember looking through the catalogue and really wanting to get the Man O' War set, the Draigar castle set, the Island of Fire set, and Dragon Mountain set.
I had two of the castle sets growing up! They were awesome. Lots of epic battles were fought there

What was the tiny dragon sets.
They did appear in the PC disc game for Metal Emperior I believe.
like they were more so on a scale to minifigures and are bipedal sometimes i remember one that had like claws that was like wolverine claws on one arm.
oh found it. from the Plasma Dragon line. 9607 Sether Metal Slash Dragon.
that was one of my favourites. along with Serpentorch.

I had 7 of these sets growing up. Absolutely loved them especially the 1st gen bronze and silver sets
Damn Our childhood was great
@@satansbraten4152 it was!
THIS IS SUCH A NOSTALGIA TRIP! holy shit.
very nostalgic thank you!
Great video. I had plenty of these as a kid. Thanks.
Your welcome! 😊
Thanks to this video I was able to identify which set a friend of mine was given for her birthday many many years ago. It was the Wizards' Strong Box.
Question: She is also remembering some sort of game that came with it? Like a computer game but not flash game. I've found that it's from the Spellcasters series.
Was there ever such a thing?
Probably, I remember the Pyrates sets sometimes came with a computer disc with games on it. The dragons linn aparently had a DVD movie as well!? (Yes mega bloks was trying hard at the time). Since Dragons came before pyrates line, I wouldn't be suprised if some sets came with DVD Discs.
I had 6 dragons with my brothers, the ship and the fortress
This was the line that introduced me to mega bloks. I had that giant ship and I went crazy over all the figures it came with. 😂
Along with Pirates, the Dragons line would be beautiful with the modern articulation
Mega blocks will always be a goat to me for this shit
100% agree
You put an image of an ice dragon instead of the daakon fury dragon but so far this video is helping me ID a lot of egg sets I have and don't yet have
Man, this video is incredible! Because you show me their's obscure sets that i NEVER knew they existed i my childhood.

Oh my gosh, don’t bring me lots of memories if they do exist I need to buy them all all Legos
I found a dragon from the time I was a child and when I researched its origins, I realized that it's probably one of those "mega blocks", but I watched the entire video and didn't find it in the video, just some very similar ones.
Can’t believe they would discontinue these
Yea, it's been a long time. I wish they would re spark this line again. Such a good line it was. I miss when mega did their IP's instead of using other franchise licensee. Also sad to see COD get cancelled as well.
bro i love your videos
Thank you!
at 18:11 what is the set that is with the wizard's strong box? I have that one and am trying to find more info on it
I can't recall the name, but I did have that set. It was awesome :)
That one is the Dragons Siege Chariot 96000
Ong I have a bunch of these sets in my closet and I never new what they were lol
i have irascor but know its gone, the best dragon toy i have ever had ❤
8:11 never finished this one bc those spiky walls never stay standing
Will you rather have a mega bloks dragon that have a cool detail and articulate or lego brick build dragon with no detail and articulate
Mega bloks dragon that's cool an articulated with stud compatibility. I think the only exception is when the dragon is very huge but still I like my dragons being action figures instead. That being said The game of thornes dragons were epic! Despite being brick built, mega did an epic job with it.
whish they could bring those back ... when it came I had almost to no money at all to buy those only manage to get 2 eggs from the metal ages, I was crazy about the fire gate set to bad I never was able to buy it
I hade one of thes sets lost it all besides a large church use for a storage box
THE EGGS I REMEBER THEY CAME IN EGGS
Tenho o irascor copper armor dragon😍😍 3:00
my cousin had a ton of thease sets at our cottage house's basement
If Mattel reboot mega bloks dragons series they better bring dragon figure not dragon made of brick like ninjago dragon I just dragon figure only and I hope castle brick cool and awesome detail like old one
FINALLY
Yaay
